Chapter 145


Kyle Hunt is a twenty seven year old man . He is the older brother of Emily Hunt who is currently sixteen . He and his little sister had lost their parents when Emily was just six years old, and because of this seeing as Kyle at the time was seventeen, his sister was suppose to be taken away from him . When he learned of this, he registered as a mercenary and escape his homeland with his sister and ran into the battlefield .


Ten years have pa.s.sed since then, and now he was one of the best mercs out there . His sister was now also enjoying her life to the fullest . Yet now he, who was one of the best mercs in the business, was actually ordered by his former boss, to look after his kid . Not Alex but the other one, the little girl called Lilitth .


He was also ordered by Carlo that if something unfortunate happens to him, he should bring Alex and Lilitth to the Southern Union . Still Kyle doubted that Carlo would make a mistake and fail the mission . The last time he made a mistake that cost them finis.h.i.+ng the mission was because of his humanity, and Kyle couldn"t fault him for that .


As Kyle was thinking about those random things, he was getting a bit bored watching Lilitth . He had rented the whole rooftop of the building next to Lilitth"s school . He also told one of the maids to place a hearing device on Lilitth"s uniform . So alongside his trusty rifle and some binoculars, Kyle had been observing Lilitth since she left the mansion .


At the time, Alex was too busy talking to someone on the phone, that he wasn"t able to notice Kyle . Well even if he did try to spot him he wouldn"t be able to, since Kyle wasn"t hostile and was also very good in blending in, unlike Alex .


Still this mission was so boring, uneventful, and lack the tension he was used too .


. . .


The whole morning Kyle who was watching Lilitth, noticed nothing unordinary except for finding out Lilitth was super popular . He couldn"t understand why the little girl was so popular, but that just made the surveillance a bit harder, since she was always surrounded by people .


While watching Lilitth have fun in school, Kyle suddenly remembered his own sister . His sister Emily Hunt was an unfortunate little girl, same as Lilitth, but in a different way . She at the tender age of six was moved around to one battlefield to another, without knowing any of the joys any little girl her age should know .


Kyle has always felt his heart ache when he sees his little sister walking in the mud, always fearing for her life . Sometimes he even questions himself if bringing her to the battlefield, instead of leaving her in an orphanage was the right choice .


. . .


One day Kyle couldn"t take it anymore seeing his little sister go through all that . So he decided to tell her, that he will be leaving her in an orphanage . Yet unexpectedly when he told her this, her reaction was extreme .


"An-chan are you going to leave me like dad and mom? Are you going to leave Emi as well? Why? Is it because Emi is worthless? Is Emi holding you back?" The seven year old Emily clung to her brother, and started to cry . Kyle was so shocked at her sudden outburst, that he just looked at her unable to speak . He didn"t know what to say . He thought that Emily was better off without him but was he wrong?


"An-chan, Emi promises to do better . I will eat all my food, I wont complain about the insects anymore, I wont say bad things about this being An-chan"s fault . I will be a good girl, I promise! Please An-chan don"t leave Emi . " Some snot started to fall from Emily"s nose, as she cried her heart out . Kyle without caring about all the snot and tears, hugged his little sister .


"It"s not that I don"t want you anymore . . . It"s because this place really isn"t fit for someone your age to be in . I was so caught up in the moment, that I didn"t think of your needs . I just wanted us to stay together, but now I see that . . . I was a fool, a selfish fool . I want you to be happy Emi . I wanted you to go to school, like every other girl . I wanted you to have friends and hang out with them . I wanted you have your first love . . . I wanted you to experience all the happiness mom and dad wanted for the both of us . . . Yet here I am being a lousy brother . . . I"m sorry Emi, I"m sorry that your An-chan is such a worthless piece of cr*p . "


Kyle couldn"t help but tear up as well . He started crying while remembering his parents . He was such a worthless son, and now he saw that he was also such a worthless big brother . Was this his punishment, for only caring about himself when his parents were still alive? Is his little sister also suppose to be punished because of his selfishness?


At this moment Emily hugged her big brother even more tightly .


"An-chan is not worthless! Emi only wants to be with An-chan . So An-chan doesn"t need to be sorry . Emi loves the confident An-chan, Emi loves the An-chan that takes care of Emily, even though he wants to cry as well . To me An-chan is the greatest brother in the world . "


The two cried their hearts out on that day .


. . .


Kyle who suddenly remembered that scene from the past, was trying to stop himself from crying . "Still you finally got what I always hope for you . You can go to school, you can have fun playing games . You have a lot of hobbies, and you even have friends now . . . I"m still waiting for you to tell me about that first love . I wonder who among those guy friends of hers will be the one . "


Kyle smiled just thinking of all the trouble his little sister"s future boyfriend will be having .
