Chapter 2551: I Want to Talk to You
Vivian felt like she was dreaming. They were about to leave Planet Sehlde, where daily life was a struggle and survival was never guaranteed…
Vivian looked at Alviss as if she was looking at a god.
Alviss looked back at Vivian and gently repeated, “Get some rest.”
Vivian turned around and left the control room in a daze.
Then, Alviss turned his head to look at Ning Shu. Facing Alviss’ eyes, Ning Shu felt her heart skip a beat.
The atmosphere cooled down. Alviss and Ning Shu were now the only two people in the navigation room.
Ning Shu forced out a smile. “I’m going to go get some rest too.”
“Sister, I want to talk to you,” Alviss said, pressing a button with his finger.
Ning Shu raised her head and saw a cage descending over her head.
By instinct, Ning Shu grabbed the cage. As a result, a strong electric current rushed into her, paralyzing half of her body.
Alviss looked at Ning Shu, who was shaking out her hands hard. He said, “You are not like the older sister I remember.”
Ning Shu bared her teeth and said, “You are not like the younger brother I remember either.”
“Do you feel sad, pained, and resentful?” Alviss asked.
Ning Shu simply sat cross-legged on the ground, her body hurting from the electric current.
“Sister, are you suffering?” Alviss asked again.
Ning Shu nodded. “I’m suffering, I want to cry..”
“But your expression doesn’t look hurt or full of despair,” Alviss said.
“Being treated like this by my own brother, I am of course hurt and feel despiar. However, as long as I think that you will regret this—losing someone like me, who treats you well and thinks about your wellbeing all the time, I am no longer as hurt.”
Ning Shu had taken care of Alviss sincerely. She didn’t think of it as wasting or losing her time and effort. In fact, if her efforts weren’t appreciated, she’d think of it as the other party’s loss. This way, she wouldn’t feel any regrets.
“You treat me well?” Alviss said in a light tone. “You abandoned me for the sake of your own future. That is how you’ve treated me.”
Ning Shu narrowed her eyes. “Alviss, you…”
“Are you surprised?”
Ning Shu shook her head. “I’m not surprised. I’ve suspected it from very early on.
“The people of Sehlde are capable of doing anything for a bite to eat. It’s normal for them to break into and rob each other’s homes.
“I usually go out for most of the day, and you can’t walk. You always stay at home alone, but nothing has ever happened to you. No one has ever broken into our house. So Owen is also one of your underlings, am I wrong?” Ning Shu said calmly.
Alviss looked at Ning Shu with his blue eyes. “If you knew, then why didn’t you say anything?”
“It’s good that you have the strength to protect yourself. Why should I have said anything? This doesn’t prevent me from taking care of you and looking out for you.
“However, I won’t be nice to you in the future anymore. There’ll be one less person in your life who treats you well,” Ning Shu said as she hammered her hand, which still felt numb from the electric shock.
Ning Shu also suspected that every time Mach had robbed her, he had always been under Alviss’ orders.
Ning Shu wouldn’t say anything, though. She would just never treat Alviss well again in the future.
If they managed to make a smooth departure from Sehlde this time, then they could both walk on their own paths.
“Don’t you feel any guilt?” Alviss’ blue eyes were full of dark tides, like a gloomy ocean disturbed by a brewing storm.
“You and I are both different now. Honestly, we are two separate individuals. You’re not my responsibility, and I was only willing to take care of you because I cared for you deeply. Even if I had decided not to take care of you, I wouldn’t be wrong for taking that decision, and there was nothing you could have done about that,” Ning Shu bluntly said.

#Take’s comment: Alviss’s reveal is here! When I first read the story, I noted down during chapter 2525 that Alviss seemed to be more than he appeared. When did you guys start feeling suspicious?
