Capital of Unity, not far from Cross Mansion,

An ambulance parked in front of the alloy gates and a person in a black suit walked out of the CCTV room. He was holding a gun, and from the look of it was filled with high-quality bullets. He raised the nuzzle to aim at the ambulance's engine. With any mishap, he would blast the vehicle in pieces.

“There there. You are not gonna shoot your buddy me, right, Uncle Serzen?” Merlin walked out of the ambulance with his hand in the air, and with a playful smile on his face.

“Cross, why do you expose your hideous face to me? Begone, before I burn my eyes.” Guard, unlike his stern tone, smiled as he talked with Merlin. Miles also walked out of the ambulance with the little girl in his embrace.

“If it isn’t Miles. It has been years since I last saw you and you have already become an adult.” Serzen looked at Miles and walked to slap him on his shoulder, but because of the girl in his embrace, he could only slowly pat him.

“Hello, Uncle Serzen. How have you been?” Miles asked. Serzen used to work for his father, then when one of the criminal organizations tried to kidnap Uncle Gordon, his father let Serzen guard Gordon instead. He has been with Gordon ever since.

“All good, all good.” Serzen said and asked, “Who is the young lady?”

“A kidnapped girl. We found her with several others, but her condition wasn’t good. Miles wanted Uncle Gordon to heal her. Is he in?” Merlin explained.

“He is inside. Go ahead.” Serzen said and opened the door with his wristwatch.

“Aren’t you going to call and ask if he is available?” Miles asked shyly. It has been some time since he saw Uncle Gordon last time, and didn’t want to disturb him.

“As if I would reject you from my door, you little brat.” A voice heard from the speaker at the door.

“Hello, Uncle Gordon. Ever since Miles left the mansion, he has become polite. Don’t mind him.” Merlin chuckled as he walked in.

“He acts like it wasn’t him riding on my back all day long preventing me from working.” Uncle Gordon’s voice sounded resented.

“Hello, Uncle Gordon. I have come to ask something, so I was a little bit politer, but if you wanna carry me around your palace, I wouldn’t say no to your services.” Miles said cheekily and walked in too. He always liked Uncle Gordon but didn’t know how he would react after not visiting him for a long time. But it seemed he was still the same.

“Look who's talking now. That is the Miles I know.” A fat man walked out of the mansion’s door and looked at the duo. With his plump face, he looked like Santa without a beard.

“Bring her to my study, and we will catch up later,” Gordon said when he saw the little girl. The girl was better already, but she wasn’t off the hook yet. After cleaning up in the hospital and healed a little, her face was rosier and her cute visage was on display. She had rare pink eyes suiting her red dimples. She had a fair face and brunette hair.

She was 11 to 12 years old, and probably awakened not long ago. She was quite young but not much younger than Miles. But Miles went through a lot in his life and battled in Portal World for more than a year. On top of that, he used three Strengthening Serums, so he looked a little bit more mature. It wasn’t strange for him to carry the girl. But the girl was a little bit bashful. Especially considering how muscular and handsome Miles was.

Miles brought her to the study and laid her down on the leather sofa. He fetched a couple of pillows to place them under the girl's head. The girl nodded to Miles before turning her head to the sofa’s back pillows.

Gordon walked to her side and brought his plump hands over her petite body. He kept them on top of the little girl’s body, without making any contact. A green light shone on those palms and in no time, it lightened half of the room. The plants in the room started to dance, and even Miles and Merlin felt they were rejuvenating.

Of course, most of the light entered the girl’s body to heal her. After a minute or so, the light disappeared and Gordon looked at the duo.

“It is remarkable!” He said with his eyes shining bright!

“What is?” Miles asked in panic.

“How long do you think it would take me to heal a regular girl?” Gordon asked with pride.

“It was strange indeed. It shouldn’t have taken you longer than a second to heal the girl with your level. But it took more than a minute.” Merlin said, holding his chin.

“What is wrong?” Miles asked anxiously. Was something wrong with the girl? But she looked better already. Her complexion looked better and she looked healthier.

“Nothing is wrong,” Gordon said with excitement.

“When I started to heal her, most of the healing energy went into her body and disappeared. At first, I thought I must have made a mistake, but later I realized %90 of the energy I use disappears somewhere in her body. Only later I understood that she has a space element allowing her to store the energy that I send in her body.

It is probably related to how she had grown up. Because of poorness, she must have grown up stashing food, water, or other things to use later. And unknowingly, she kept most of my healing energy so she could use them later to heal herself if she needed it.”

What Gordon said dropped like a bomb into the room. Miles looked at the girl with a dumbfounded expression, Merlin on the other hand looked excited. Space element was too rare. Even among the billions of people living in Unity, only a handful of them had it. The number wouldn’t exceed ten. But now, a random girl they saved from underground, turned out to have the space element. He couldn’t let this girl go, no matter what.

But Merlin wasn’t a villain either. His greed was limited to orthodox ways, like beguiling her with richness and whatnot.

“Miles, since she is healed now, what plans do you have?” Merlin asked. Gordon understood the gravity of the matter. He kept quiet and let it play in front of him.

“I don’t know. She is old enough to decide for herself. So, I will let her choose.” Miles said. He wasn’t naive, on the contrary, he had experienced enough to see the crux of the matter. He knew the military would salivate over the girl.

Hell, if other big families knew her powers, they would do whatever in their powers to steal her for themselves. But Miles wouldn’t let this happen if the girl didn’t choose to go herself. He deliberately said he would let her choose, so Merlin wouldn’t be stingy with his offer. After all, the girl was still small, and even if Merlin offered a little, the girl might have agreed to it.

“Wonderful. Let’s ask her then.” Merlin smiled and talked to the girl. But before he could speak, the girl turned to look at Miles and said, “I want to live with you.”
