Chapter 526 - 535: Strange Siblings
Stella Sterling’s voice was gentle and pleasant.
Anyone who didn’t know the situation would have gotten a very good impression of her.
They would think her a decent person. Even if she didn’t get along with her brother, she was still telling him to go reunite with their parents.
But listening to her, some also felt a pang of sympathy for her. They shared the same parents, so they had to be full-blooded siblings.
Yet, from her words, it seemed their parents only loved their son, not their daughter.
Otherwise, she would have said their parents missed them both and that they should go back together for a family reunion.
This made the crowd sigh in disbelief. To dislike such an outstanding daughter... they couldn’t imagine what kind of oddballs their parents must be.
If it were them, if they had a daughter like her, they would cherish and dote on her.
Capable and filial—where could you find a daughter like that?
What’s more, in this apocalypse, with a daughter this powerful, countless people would be trying to curry favor with them.
To not cherish a daughter like this and only favor the son—what kind of logic was that?
Even those who knew Stella Sterling now felt she deserved better.
They silently cursed those ungrateful parents in their hearts.
Zane Xavier sneered inwardly. ’To cast aside such a brilliant daughter... I wonder if those parents regret it now.’
’I just hope Master can be firm and not let them deceive her so easily.’
At that moment, only those who truly understood the situation had their expressions change upon hearing her words.
The people from Caeluna Base looked at Evan Sterling with expressions full of ridicule.
Evan Sterling’s face, however, darkened abruptly as he recalled what had happened at Caeluna Base.
Even his breathing became unsteady.
He had escaped by faking his death, but his parents were truly dead.
And they had died during a struggle among the three of them.
A flash of pain crossed his eyes.
’Even though I studied abroad since I was young and we didn’t spend much time together, they were still my parents. How can I feel at peace now that they’ve died by my own hand?’
’But there was no other choice back then. If I hadn’t done it, none of the three of us would have survived.’
’Mom and Dad loved me so much. I’m sure they would have been willing to sacrifice themselves for me.’
With this thought, Evan Sterling felt a little better.
But his expression was still grim. ’What does Stella Sterling mean by this? Mom and Dad are already dead, and she’s telling me to go reunite with them?’
’Is she telling me to go die, too?’
His gaze turned cold. He stared at Stella Sterling, a dangerous glint in his eyes, and said icily, "Stella Sterling, you’re a monster! You drove your own parents to their deaths. Don’t you have nightmares when you sleep? Don’t worry, I’ll send you down to them today so you can atone for your sins and apologize. But I doubt they’ll forgive you. For something as heinous as this, you’ll probably go straight to hell!"
When Evan Sterling spoke, the surrounding people were once again stunned.
How could the relationship between these two be so complicated? They seemed to be full siblings, yet their relationship couldn’t possibly be worse.
The situation was also quite different from what they had imagined.
They had thought that when the woman told him to go for a reunion, she genuinely meant a family reunion.
They never expected her words to carry such a meaning—that their parents were already dead, and their deaths were a bit...
For a moment, everyone looked completely taken aback.
Even Miles Sanctus, who was standing to the side, had a constantly shifting expression. ’The story between these siblings is really something else.’
He stared at the two of them without saying a word.
He quietly began to back away.
Faced with Evan Sterling’s accusations, Stella Sterling’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. She showed no remorse.
She felt no guilt toward the Sterling family’s parents.
’In my past life, I already repaid the debt I owed them for raising me.’
’This time around, for the sake of our laughable blood ties, I didn’t want to go against them. At most, I would have just ignored them and let them fend for themselves.’
’But they just wouldn’t leave me alone. They came right up to my face and started plotting against me.’
’They even wanted me dead.’
’I was merciful enough to them. They were the ones who got greedy and insisted on running to their deaths.’
She straightened her clothes. "You must be joking. If anyone needs to atone, it’s you. Don’t forget, you’re the one who killed them with your own hands. I wonder, what were you feeling when you plunged that knife into them? And what were Mom and Dad feeling? They loved you so much, you were their pride and joy. Did they ever imagine they would die by your hand?"
As she spoke, Stella Sterling’s eyes bore into him, as if interrogating him.
With every word Stella Sterling uttered, Evan Sterling couldn’t help but recall the events of that day.
Their expressions and the look in their eyes were seared into his memory, impossible to forget even for a moment.
His body trembled.
Although he had managed to escape, the experience of that day had become a living nightmare for him.
Every night, he would remember what happened, and it made him feel a little afraid of Stella Sterling.
It was because of this that he had started frantically researching these things, day in and day out, all so he could take revenge on Stella Sterling.
Only by killing Stella Sterling could he find peace and stop being afraid.
Only then could he feel he had answered for his parents’ deaths.
And after all his tireless effort, the experiment had finally made progress. He had actually succeeded.
Thinking of this, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself. ’So what if Stella Sterling has a silver tongue now? Soon, I’ll have my revenge.’
He stopped talking and issued a command to the figures behind him: "Kill her!"
Upon hearing Evan Sterling’s command, the figures behind him—neither human nor ghost—immediately sprang into action.
They lunged straight for Stella. One of them leaped several meters into the air, a feat no normal person could achieve.
The leaders of the smaller factions all gasped when they saw this.
"Those things really aren’t normal people. Looks like Sanctyr Base is going to win today after all!"
After witnessing the superhuman abilities of the Human Body Warriors, the minor leaders gasped and shook their heads.
Sanctyr Base truly lived up to its name. Their final trump card was completely beyond anyone’s expectations.
With a trump card like this, trying to make an enemy of Sanctyr Base was practically a death wish.
