Chapter 248 Good Brothers, For Life

"Hey! What's the point of talking so complicatedly? This kid is stupid and can't understand."

Helia knew from Mirang's clear and stupid eyes that these things had never occurred to him, and what Judith said was really hard for him to understand.

"Let's put it this way. Judith, this smart guy, thinks I'm pretty good and wants to follow me. You either join me or leave. Do you understand?"

This is very direct, and it is indeed something that Mirang can understand. But the problem is that Mirang just hopes that Judith will make a careful choice, but he has never thought of breaking up with him!

Judith looked at Helia helplessly. This guy's narcissism was still the same as before, and it was even getting worse.

Casper, who was standing by, heard this and immediately interrupted:

"Judith, your family gave birth to you, raised you, and provided for you. Even if you hate the way they have bound you, you don't want to destroy them, do you? You are not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity."

Helia gave him a cold look, but she obviously forgot that he couldn't see her, so she had to warn him verbally: "I find you talk too much."

"When you first met me, you couldn't say a word for a long time. Why are you talking so much now? Why do you talk so much to other people?"

"Can I take it that you have something against me and therefore don't want to talk to me?"

Casper frowned, but even though Helia warned and threatened him, he still hoped that Judith would not make an impulsive decision that she would surely regret later.

"Judith, the reason why the family is a family and why it has been able to stand firm and develop to this day is because of its strength and deep-rooted status. It is not something that you and your friends can shake at will."

"You are just overestimating your own capabilities and having unrealistic ideas," he continued.

"Hey! Are you still excited?" Helia pretended to teach Casper a lesson, trying to make him shut his little mouth.

However, Judith pulled her wrist and stopped her from passing. She looked at Casper firmly and said solemnly, "Yes, perhaps with just the strength of a few of us, we can't cause much harm to the family and shake its foundation."

"But there is always something we can do, there is always something we can change."

"If you do nothing, nothing will change, and I don't want to be the one who turns a blind eye and a deaf ear."

"My entire twenty years of life have been decided by my family, but I am the master of my life and my destiny. Why can't I make decisions based on my own heart?"

"Casper, who are you living for? For your family, or for who people say you are?"

Judith's transformation was not instantaneous, and his current choice was not entirely based on impulse. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he had never had an opportunity, an opportunity that allowed him to truly make up his mind.

Helia gave him hope.

Although the first time he came into contact with Helia in the team competition was because he was deceived by her, he had to admit that Helia's trick was indeed clever. She was very cunning, very smart, and very mean.

After that, he found that his eyes would always involuntarily follow her figure, and he would take the initiative to ask about her.

She is a very lively and imaginative person. She always comes up with some bad ideas. She is carefree and doesn't look like a princess at all.

She is also a very impulsive person. Her hands and feet often move faster than her brain, and she often does some puzzling things.

In her, one can see a wildness that is not bound by rules.

But Judith knew better that Helia was a powerful person. She had the ability to take responsibility for her own impulses, so she was free and unrestrained.

Helia is the only distinctive color in Judith's life in the past twenty years.

He was trained to be the family heir, so he had to stay rational at all times, make the most beneficial choice for himself according to the current situation, and consider the so-called interests.

But Helia is different. Just like the time when she stood up for Karlzer's revenge, if it were him, he would not choose to reveal his identity for a teammate he had just met. There would be no benefit at all.

But Helia did just that, because in her eyes, friends are more important than so-called interests.

This puzzled him because he lived in a world where everyone was profit-oriented, so he had no way of understanding Helia's choice.

Also, because someone bullied Karlzer during the game, Helia didn't think twice and directly violated the rules to stand up for him and severely punished those people.

The points I worked so hard to earn were just wasted, and I even got sick because of it. This is a deal that cannot be lost any more, and it is completely meaningless.

Helia hated them, and if she wanted to stand up for her friend, she could just go and cause trouble privately after the game, and she wouldn't get into any trouble.

But she didn't do that. Instead, she was just as he thought, impulsive and reckless, doing things without considering the consequences, and got herself into trouble.

Later, in the survival competition, in order to protect others, she took the initiative to stand up and fight against the powerful enemy that she could not defeat at all.

It was obvious that among the people she protected, there were people who were more powerful than her. She was respected as the princess of the empire, the most valuable person among all people, and it was others who should work together to protect her.

But she didn't. She didn't order others to protect her with their lives. Instead, she stood at the front and saved others with her life.

Judith had never seen such a person. In his opinion, Helia was so strange that she didn't seem like a normal person. She was a person who was completely different from his cognition and the most special person in his world.

Normal people would seek benefits and avoid harm, but she seemed to be fearless and always liked to rush to the front to do dangerous things. She would always rush forward without thinking and work hard.

This had a huge impact on his cognition, forcing him to start re-examining himself and the people around him, and to start understanding the world again.

So much so that when he was locked up in a small building to study family magic after graduating from the academy, he would always think of her, and that stunning red color would often appear in his dreams.

He even fantasized that if Helia knew he was trapped here, would there be a day when her red head would appear outside the window of the small building, say to him with a smile, "I'm here to save you", and then break the high walls that surrounded him, let in with the sunlight, and take him away from the home that made him feel so suffocated.

Sometimes, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he would frantically write "kill" on a piece of paper. He wanted to kill all those people who had trapped him here, who said they were doing it for his own good but who kept restraining and forcing him. He could just die and put an end to it all.

Sometimes he would dream that his family had collapsed and he was no longer the young master of the family or the damn heir. He no longer needed to learn those profound and complicated knowledge, nor did he have to pretend to be mature and steady in front of others. He could enjoy life freely.

It was the best dream he had ever had.

When he left the small building and started to get involved in family affairs, he thought he had grown up, had come to terms with it, and was ready to shoulder the responsibilities of the family. He would never have such childish and rebellious ideas again.

But what puzzled him was that he dreamed of Helia more and more often, and his desire to see her became stronger day by day, so much so that when he saw her again, he doubted whether he was dreaming.

It was not until he sat down in his seat in the conference hall, thinking about Helia's plan in his mind, that he found that his heart was beating unusually fast, and his whole body was hot, and he was so excited that he could not control himself.

Later, he thoroughly enjoyed the confrontation and acting with Roden, feeling the wonderful experience that this strange and extraordinary experience brought him.

So this was the feeling Helia had experienced before... he thought to himself at the time.

As the heir of the Helis family, he should not have helped Helia, even though she saved his life. But compared with the risks and losses he might take, not helping should have been the choice made by the rational him in the past, the perfect heir that the family hoped to cultivate.

This was the first time he made a choice that went against rationality and the supremacy of interests. It was a choice he made from his heart and also his first rebellion.

And now, he figured it out.

At first he thought that he was just attracted by Helia's beautiful appearance, out of a man's liking for beautiful women, and it was love between men and women.

But when he grabbed Helia's wrist just now, he didn't feel his heartbeat quicken, nor did he feel the heart-pounding and shy feeling that people talked about.

He then realized that he didn't like Helia, but he longed for the freedom and ease that Helia represented.

He envied Helia's ability to do whatever she wanted without scruples, and to freely make choices that were in line with her heart. That was something he never had, so he longed for it.

Joining Helia's plan and fighting against the family and the family alliance with her will be his second rebellion and the starting point of his new life.

"Well said! You are worthy of being my teammate! You have a high level of ideological awareness!" Helia laughed and gave Judith a thumbs up.

Casper shut up again.

As for Mijean, and Aphra, who had been a little confused the whole time, they seemed to be thinking about what Judith had just said, as if they were touched.

Helia didn't know what Judith had been going through, the depression and pain he had felt, or why he had made the decision just now.

But with the idea that one more helper means less trouble, she welcomed the new undercover agent very much. She was even a little proud of herself, thinking that she was so charming and awesome that Judith chose to defect to her.

After a while, Mirang seemed to have figured it out. He took a step forward and punched Judith's shoulder hard, saying with a somewhat resentful tone: "Judith, I said before, no matter what you want to do, I will be with you."

"Don't even think about leaving me alone and running away."

That was the promise the two made when they were children, that no matter what happened when they grew up, they would always be good brothers, and no matter what happened, they would never abandon each other.

Judith also recalled the past, and the corners of her mouth curled up. It was a smile of nostalgia, but also a smile of happiness because Mi Rang chose to continue to follow her.

"Okay! Now I declare that the front line against the aristocratic family alliance is established!" Helia raised one arm and announced, then put her hand down and stretched it in front of Judith and Mirang.

Seeing that the two had no reaction, Helia had no choice but to take action directly. She grabbed their hands and put them in her own hands, and put her other hand on top, and encouraged: "Three, two, one, come on!"

As the words were spoken, everyone's folded hands pressed down hard and then spread out.

Although Judith didn't understand, she was very excited when she saw Helia's passionate face, and it showed on her face. She smiled so hard that her eyes were curved.

Seeing that it was getting late, Helia couldn't keep them any longer, so she hurriedly gave them a brief explanation of the task:

"Okay! After that, I'll ask you two to help me keep an eye on the construction of that damned Giant God Soldier, and also think of a way to get other people to participate."

"Then feel free to contact me if anything happens, or you can ask Alfie for help. Be careful to protect yourself and don't expose yourself. If you do, just put the blame on me."
