BXBX NOVEL Chapter 181 Forgiven?
"While I did get weakened, I felt like not all of my powers were gone. Some of it was still left inside me and if I concentrated enough, I might be able to get the powers back… however… those bastards… my so-called family members…"
According to Alex, after he was saved, he was constantly hunted by a group of strong people, his uncle being one of them. Maybe because of his bandage and all, his uncle failed to recognize him, and started attacking for no reason.
Wasn\'t just the uncle though, their sons and daughters also were included in that. He was blind, not deaf. He clearly remembers the voices of his cousins and uncle. Maybe a mistake could be made with one voice, but multiple voices? Nope. No way it was a mistake.
All that fighting and running took quite a toll on him, but he managed to outrun them and settled in a random stadium where he killed zombies and meditated to heal himself. While Erika, who was always with him, helped protect him however she could. Killing zombies and scaring off other humans. She made sure nobody disturbed her brother\'s meditation.
And after all was said and done, my eyes observed him with a little bit of pity before I spoke,
"Before I reach any conclusion. What is it that you want now? I can heal you, all right. But what are you going to do after that?"
Hearing my voice, Alex turned at me with a determinant look as he spoke,"first. I will stop whatever the nightmare zombie it was, and then I will also save my friends. And once I am done with that, I will talk to my family before deciding what exactly is going on."
\'A good approach. Though I doubt he will let his family go after what they had done to him, let\'s see how he would deal with things,\' I thought as I smiled at him and spoke,
"Sure."
Before I looked at Erika, and spoke,"Can I have the doll for a few moments?" and though hesitatingly, when her brother nodded at her, she passed the teddy to me as she spoke,
"Please treat Mr. Eli."
Smiling, I took the teddy and
[Temporal Inversion(Uncommon)!]

used this ability and saw the whole thing being plugged back. It was a bit slow, but in front of my eyes, each and every wool began repositioning itself back to where it belonged. While a few smiled, others started looking at the phenomenon with their eyes widened. Even Miya was carefully observing it, unable to comprehend what was going on.
And after it returned to its tip-top condition, I smiled as I returned the teddy back to her and she looked at it with a bright smile.
Standing back up, I turned to the military guy as I asked again,
"What is your name?"
"Umm… It\'s Reeve…" he spoke gulping as he looked at me and I nodded as I moved towards him, before passing by him as I patted his shoulders as I muttered,"Consider yourself lucky."
Normally, I would have killed him first before deciding whether he was good or not. But I guess the situation made me look at his status first, and honestly, he was more of a hero who had saved not only his men\'s lives many times but also civilians by putting his position in danger.
I guess, even though he was arrogant, his past actions had earned him a few more years ahead of him. Now that is out of the box,
"Hey, Myla. Aren\'t you getting cuter as the time is passing?" I flirted a little with this former girlfriend of mine, making her look at me in a daze as she asked,"you… aren\'t angry?"
"Not really. I thought it would be better to talk and see before reaching a logical conclusion. While I don\'t trust the military, I guess I can believe you a little," I spoke as I looked at her and she smiled a little with her eyes brightening.
"So, what is going on here?" I asked as I looked at her and, snapping back from her daze, she spoke out,"Actually, a few weeks ago, I think the timing matches with what happened with Alex, so on that day, we received another signal. A really powerful one at that."
\'So they came here to check that out, huh?\' I thought as I looked at the other guys around before turning to that military guy, Reeve, as I asked,"And what\'s with you trying to kill Erika and take in Alex?"
"Ummm… that…" he was trying to figure out words to explain, but since I already had an idea of what happened, I spoke first,
"Let me guess. You thought that Erika was a dangerous zombie and decided to kill her. While Alex was the one who came protecting her and looking at the situation, you decided to go for a do or die. Is that correct?"
"That… uh… yeah…" he spoke as he put his head down in embarrassment.
Taking in a deep sigh, I then shook my head as I looked at Alex,"what do you want to do with them?" Normally I would have let them go, but I wasn\'t the one to decide for this one.
"I can\'t forgive him for hurting my sister, but since the situation is really complicated, I would like to delay my conclusion until I deal with my own things. Is that fine, brother?" Alex spoke as he looked at me and I nodded,"sure. Have it your way."
Hearing Alex\'s words, everyone from the military sighed, before I looked at Alex and asked,
"So. Where is the apartment of the so-called uncle of yours?"
"It is in the Iris City, near the Mepris Mansion," Alex answered and I nodded before looking at the jeep of the military,
"Doesn\'t seem like it can hold enough people, does it?"
