Chapter 512: Discussion (1/2)

Theo raised his head, and their eyes intertwined. There was a sense of longing in his heart, but it was overcome by the disappointment that had been drastically increasing since a few months ago.

Edward had short blue hair like Theo, but his eyes were light blue instead of ocean blue, making him slightly different from Theo.

He wore a white t-shirt and long blue pants, but he seemed to be tidy enough for someone who lived in this place for a long time.

Noticing their gazes, Avarice closed her eyes and turned around. Although she chose to stay, she didn't want to disturb them. She chose to wait for Theo in the woods.

Like Ava, she could listen to their conversation and knew if Edward tried to do something funny to Theo. At that time, she wouldn't hesitate to kill Edward, considering she was Theo's ally, not Edward's.

After Avarice left, Edward blinked a few times and said, ”We should talk inside.”

Theo remained still for a moment before using his Telekinesis to lift his body to the treehouse while Edward turned around and reached the door, opening it for him and Theo.

He entered first to show Theo there was nothing bad inside, and Theo followed him carefully.

Back then, Edward was his sole goal. He was his motivation to survive. It was quite ironic since he didn't share the same feeling as his past self.

Theo sighed inwardly and walked inside. The treehouse was quite small. On his right was a brown wooden door without any sign to show what kind of room it was.

Next to the door were electric stoves and a few other cooking utensils. It seemed Edward managed his own electricity by getting it from Solar Energy.

He then turned in the opposite direction and found a bed with a red quilt. It was a tidy and sturdy single-person bed. There seemed to be nothing that separated the room from the rest of the house other than the door on his right.

Not far from the bed was a long couch and a huge table. He could see Edward's Skylink on top of it, showing a few people's faces. Unfortunately, he didn't know about those people, so he made no remark.

Last but not least, he found a series of physical training equipment, a small window with his clothes and a fridge.

”Pardon me for this small house,” Edward said while walking to the couch. He tidied up the table while getting another chair.

He also pointed at the soft couch and offered Theo to sit. ”Please.”

Theo took a deep breath since this was the first time he saw his brother after a long decade. He didn't want to have an outburst because he needed information from him.

After calming his heart down, Theo gradually walked to the couch while Edward brought him cold water.

”You must be tired. Have a drink first.”
