Jiang Wuji pointed at the trauma team's hovercar and smiled, "How about it, junior brother treats you to a few years of mbership?"
"Uh..."
To be honest, Yun You was indeed tempted at first.
Although she could heal wounds through her "eating" ability, she wasn't yet sure if this thod of recovery would burden her body or leave hidden injuries.
Moreover, she couldn't guarantee she would have an advantage in every battle.
If she fell into a disadvantage, the protection of the trauma team would undoubtedly be the last line of defense for her life.
But... thinking it over, the little girl shook her head and chose to refuse.
She wasn't used to entrusting her life into soone else's hands.
Furthermore, if she went to such a large hospital, her body data would be recorded, and the secret of "eating" might be exposed.
Currently, no one besides Master Zero knows that she has the "eating" ability.
Not even Old Jin knows.
Perhaps soone has seen her devour an enemy, but honestly, this form of "eating the enemy" ability is not uncommon among the Apprentice Death God's talents, so Yun You has always been able to pass off her actions.
But simply eating and eating are two completely different matters.
Being able to rapidly heal injuries, acquire abilities, and even evolve her abilities at a fast pace through eating, Yun You searched the entire network and found no second case like hers.
It's unique, just as invaluable as "multiple sequences."
Yun You doesn't want to expose herself so soon and be coveted by others.
...
While the two of them chatted, the trauma team had completed the initial examination.
After confirming that Mokaka was only unconscious and not severely injured, each doctor in the team breathed a sigh of relief.
They carefully placed Mokaka on a stretcher, planning to take her back to the hovercar.
Seeing this, Tian En was also much relieved, the anxiety in her heart finally settled down.
With the trauma team's treatnt, Mokaka should be fine.
But just then, an anxious voice suddenly erged from the hovercar.
"Doctor, how is it, is my daughter alright?"
As the words fell, a middle-aged man also stuck his head out from the car.
His tall stature, nearly 1.9 ters, made the hovercar appear sowhat cramped, his appearance stern, a typical Western Hemisphere tough guy face, yet upon closer look, the features between his brows bore so resemblance to Mokaka.
Combined with how he addressed Mokaka earlier, this person's identity was already crystal clear.
He is Caliduo Hugo, Mokaka's biological father, the owner of Hugo Pharmaceutical.
At the mont of sticking his head out, Caliduo's gaze, by coincidence, t Tian En's.
The two locked eyes.
At this mont, they both froze.
Tian En had once viewed Caliduo as the culprit behind the death of her foster parents, naturally rembering his appearance vividly.
If it were the past Tian En, she might have acted long ago and activated the "Blood Scale Rose Court" to judge Caliduo.
Usually, Caliduo stayed within his own company, always surrounded by several Apprentice Death Gods for protection, making it impossible for Tian En to act.
But at this mont, out of concern for his daughter, Caliduo didn't have ti to gather his guards and rushed out with the trauma team to this place.
Although the trauma team had ans to deal with Apprentice Death Gods, they stood no chance against Tian En, who possessed the power of Cyberspace's Death God.
So, this would be her best opportunity to strike!
However...
In the end, Tian En still didn't make a move.
Her heart was always on Mokaka.
Tian En didn't know why she hesitated. Clearly, the enemy was right before her, but whenever she wanted to act, Mokaka's scene of risking her life to save her kept surfacing in her mind.
Human nature is complex, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.
And likewise...
After a brief stupor, Caliduo also recognized Tian En's identity.
The slightly pinkish hair ends, the face that was exquisite like a porcelain doll despite being muddied, made him instantly realize that Tian En was the sole surviving descendant of the Frost Family, who disappeared ten years ago—Dolores Frost.
Also his niece.
In fact, during this decade, the Hugo Clan had always borne the brunt of rumors, shouldering the accusation of "killing kin."
Outsiders always said the Frost Clan's last patriarch couple died because the Hugo Family coveted the main family's assets and secretly poisoned their brother and sister-in-law.
After all, with the Frost Clan's downfall, the Hugo Family inherited most of the assets.
But Caliduo knew more than anyone that he never did such a thing.
As a qualified entrepreneur, Caliduo was, of course, greedy for money.
But compared to piles of cash, he cared more about his family.
Even for Tian En, who later joined the Frost Family, he didn't dislike her; instead, he advised the Frost Patriarch to nurture Tian En properly, as she might inherit the grand enterprise in the future.
He certainly wouldn't kill his brother for money.
However, he also understood the Frost couple couldn't have died naturally.
Though cursed in bloodline, prone to premature aging, both were in their pri, and even with early aging, they shouldn't have died so young.
They were murdered.
It's just that, over the ten years, Caliduo never managed to find the killer.
To prevent more bizarre rumors, Caliduo could only grit his teeth and bear the reputation of "causing kin's death," and continually tried to locate the "corpse" of the missing Tian En from all those years ago.
And now, after a full ten years, when he once again saw the living Tian En and sensed the power of an Apprentice Death God on her...
He imdiately understood everything.
Tian En was the real culprit.
Initially, Caliduo was shocked, as parricide, regardless of when, was extrely grave.
Especially since Tian En killed her biological parents.
But thinking it over, Caliduo sighed deeply, understanding Tian En's actions.
To the giant Frost Family, Tian En was rely a tool, an instrunt bearing the family's bloodline to propagate more offspring.
That couple never gave Tian En any affection... one could even say that Caliduo, a distant relative, cared more for Tian En than that couple did.
Yet, these people killed those who cherished Tian En as a treasure, her foster parents, depriving the person who bestowed Tian En a na, all for a ridiculous reason.
Perhaps for Tian En, not avenging the Frost couple would have truly been equal to committing a grave cri akin to "parricide."
"I..."
Caliduo reached out, wanting to grasp his niece's hand and bring her back to the family... not to hold her accountable, of course, but to return her rightful share of the inheritance.
But eventually, after much hesitation, he put his hand down and sighed deeply, mumbling...
"I'm sorry for what happened back then."
"If not for my words, perhaps your mother wouldn't have had any trouble..."
Tian En's foster parents were indeed hard by her biological ones, yet it was Caliduo's few words that sparked everything.
"Dolores can't forget those habits from the Lower City because the child still has attachnts."
"So I think elder brother, you lack a firm approach... Consider if those to-be-married families find out Dolores lived at the bottom for ten years and has a pair of civilian parents, how would they view this child? Could they still comfortably co to marry in?"
It was precisely these words that led the Frost couple to silence Tian En's foster parents.
"Actually, what I thought back then was... letting brother and sister-in-law give your foster parents so money, have them leave the city, and never reunite with you."
Caliduo softly said, "This way, your thoughts of them would be severed, without shedding blood."
"But I indeed didn't expect brother to directly order a kill."
"But no matter how it turns out, I am partly responsible for this... and I'm not saying this seeking your forgiveness, I know I have no right."
"I just wanted to apologize to you."
"I know you want to act against ... Dolores, and if it's you, I won't resist."
"But I wish to ask you not to harm my daughter..."
He gently touched Mokaka's face, sighing, "After all, no matter what, this child Vivian is innocent."
"Let the grudges of the last generation end with , don't let it be carried on."
"Please..."
