Hellbents
Chapter 51: Denial

That was an impressive .. skill.

Hao can cleanly cut a tree trunk that far?

Ava should not be surprised anymore, the girl had literally seen the monster people summoned from empty air, people who can create elements, some can turn into animal forms. In this way, Ava also had to improve her observation skills, so that she could know further than just their level.

Although Hao's level was still in its teens, the ability he possessed could not be underestimated. Once attacked, the man could chop up someone's body.

Ava will not try to make Hao her enemy.

In addition, the man would be useful to use given Hao's feelings for Ava. Because emotions are one of the weaknesses of humans.

From her keen sense of smell, Ava instantly recognized the smell of blood and beer. The unobstructed dark night vision also caught the red spot on Hao's hand that tightly grasped his sword.

"You're bleeding," Ava said softly.

Hao gasped, only to realize with a sharp pulse on his palm. Pitu scratches must have been from the beer glass that he crushed earlier. But he ignored his painful injuries, because other problems occurred. His heart was beating too fast. The fallen leaves rustled as Lina walked over to him. As before, Hao could not take his eyes off.

The female's shiny black short hair, the white skin that looked supple. Tiny yet athletic body clad in white tunic and brown pants. Deep black eyes that seemed to suck his soul if they looked at him for more than three seconds, framed with long lashes. Recalling the story of when Rina killed a giant banderhobbs single-handedly also adds to the charisma the woman has.

He really is his type!

"I give you a cure, free for now, just think of it as a sample." One short bottle containing a hovering red gel, was caught smoothly by Hao's unharmed hands.

"A, oh! Thank you!" Hao hurriedly opened it, but-Shelf! The bottle broke, its contents automatically spilled to the ground. The man still let the adrenaline guide his actions, so as not to control the power.

Ava blinked in disbelief. It should be he who is still not fully adapted to the status points that continue to grow every day. Hao is a fast category, but Ava is at an extreme level. That was why he continued to consciously hold onto anything softly as well as gently.

"Um, sorry." Good job, Hao. Humiliate yourself in front of the woman you like? Unbecoming this kind of behavior is what makes you rejected!

"Sorry, I didn't mean to break it!" For the first time Hao turned his gaze to the ground, not daring to look into Rina's eyes. His heart fell upon hearing a long sigh from the woman before him.

But what happened next almost caused Hao's heart to jump with pleasure. Lina carefully grabbed the red-scratched palm, then smeared the wound with a new medicine that she took out of the inventory.

... This meant that Hao still had a chance.

Rina refused not because she was not interested in him!

They don't know him yet. That's why she suggested making friends first.

If the time of their friendship continued to be close like this, Hao did not mind.

Over time, feelings of love will also grow in Rina's heart.

Surely so!

He should make the best use of the situation.

"Already," Rina muttered briefly. Hao's hands have been medicated, bandaged to avoid infection. The only unfortunate thing was the missing touch of Rina. Hao decided to no longer wash his slashed hands. The wound area should avoid getting wet.

"Ah, yes, thank you."

Hao pleased.

Was it true that this person had expressed love to her with an excess of confidence this morning? Or his rejection that makes the man's self-esteem freefall?

***

Rai observed the scene that was happening in front of him with a thin smile as well as narrowed eyes, comforted as well as wondering.

Now he knows who broke Hao's heart. A cunning female fox. There is no more suitable designation to describe Eve Weinhamer.

His friend's bipolar sister was completely subjugated, consumed by a honey trap. The normally fiery temperament now turned weak like a sheep in front of the woman. Hao was already within the grasp of Eve's little finger.

But why is he here?

Was Eve one of the passengers who was exposed to the black storm phenomenon a few days ago?

In that case, Eve was the main lead in the ship's defense of the banderhobbs attack?

Yeah .., no surprise. Given the girl's former history. He must have had a grand plan like the one he was carrying out.

Rai was still curious.

So he decided to keep quiet in his hiding, harboring curiosity for now. Camouflage blanket that he got with the price of the mansion house can cover the air of existence, smell, and sound, is very appropriate if it can fool the observation target. Rai's body relaxed and leaned back, quietly taking out the beans to snack while enjoying the spectacle. In the middle of the forest illuminated full moon purple ring makes what he saw fit into the genre of romantic drama.

"So Hao is the second male lead?"

***

"Apply the medicine three times a day, also replace the existing bandages regularly," Ava said as a worker at the pharmacy, placing a short bottle of new gel into Hao's open hand, I don't want to repeat the same mistake. "Oh, and this is my drugstore ID in the [System], just buy it there if you run out or need any other herbal remedies." Hao was his potential customer, as well as the investment he had just started.

Lina gave him an ID!

Now you can contact the girl at any time ... Well, that kind of thing.

It means their relationship is not just friendship. Who put the medicine on her friend's hand as soft as Rina's? Hao did not realize that Ava automatically treated him gently because he still had to practice regulating his new strength. In addition, Ava is unlikely to treat him harshly given the deadly skill he just showed, his position as an asset candidate Ava also took part.

"Okay, okay. Uh, wait!"

Not yet had time to step back, Ava was restrained by Hao's exclamation. "Can you not scream? I can hear you're fine." Ava's eardrum twitched at once.

"You don't like loud noises? Okay, understand." The first step that Hao had to take to make Lina fall in love was to find the woman's taste. He will no longer follow the advice of Rai or big brother. How could he forget that his own big brother was single from birth? Then Rai is known as a playboy who periodically changes his partner? Never had a romantic relationship?

Scratching the back of the neck that wasn't itchy, Hao asked, "Do you want to have breakfast together?"

Next to Ava's eyebrows reflexively raised. She's taking him to breakfast? As far as Ava knows this is done by lovers who have been in a long relationship. Instead of lunch? More suited to their stage when making friends.

"You can join us later, I usually have breakfast with my roommate." But actually Ava only half cares, she's had breakfast with a lot of people from weeks ago.

Hao only heard until "You can", melted the next words without being processed. But he was already cheering happily in his heart.

A date!
