Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 153: Chapter 152: Worm of Depravity

"Thank you..." The girl said but continued with a cold stare. She didn't let her guard down, she didn't know Jair and she didn't dare let her guard down at that moment.

Jair nodded, he wasn't too surprised that the girl was still on guard. He noticed her irregularity, and asked gently, "You seem to be suffering, do you know any doctors or healers? I can help you get there."

In response, the girl bit her lip. Her eyes turned a little red, but then she shook her head and went cold again. "No. But I don't need you to worry, I've been drugged, it should be fine if I go home."

"..." Jair was silent as he looked at the girl who looked very far away, looking like she wouldn't accept help from him.

The screams of the men who had been hurt snapped him out of his thoughts. Jair said: "I understand that you don't trust me, let me accompany you to your house so, just like that, I'll be calm. Don't worry, we can go on a busier road so you'll feel safer, right?"

Honestly, he didn't want to leave the girl like that, he was worried about her, even if he didn't know her, he would be wondering if she would make it home safely.

He added, "By the way, my name is Jair, I recently moved to Nan Empire to study at Hunter School."

Although barely noticeable, the girl showed surprise. Soon the cold expression returned, even with her red face looking like she was drunk: "My name is Amelia."

"Amelia… Beautiful name. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to flirt with you or anything. Wait, not that you're not pretty, just…." The more he spoke, the more he curled up.

The girl even laughed a little, but pretended to cough and returned to her cold expression.

Jair was embarrassed, scratching the back of his head, he asked, "My friend who also came to study at Hunter school, is a few kilometers away, she has healing powers, so do I, but I don't know if it would have that much effect If you allow me I can try to heal you, if it doesn't work I can ask my friend to try to heal you, what do you think?"

Amelia was silent. She lowered her long lashes, seeming to be considering.

"Okay, I'll trust you a little." She was already feeling burns on her body, a desire for the opposite sex was making her want to roll her eyes in anger.

"R-Right." A little surprised that she accepted, Jair stuttered a little. Soon he added, "Are we going to get out of this place first?"

Looking at these scum on the floor, Amelia nodded and said, "Follow me."

She knew the city well enough, she didn't fully trust Jair. Although he looked kind of silly, it could very well be him acting.

The men lying on the floor groaning in pain looked at the two leaving in fear and hatred. 'Lucia won't like this at all...'

They were well paid, but they couldn't even handle a little girl who was drugged with an aphrodisiac. Ultimately, they will be reprimanded by the leader and forced to work harder to pay for the money they already received.

"Damn it!"

Jair and Amelia heard someone cursing right behind them.

Amelia snorted coldly without turning around. She had a vague idea who was behind it all.

After walking a few meters away, Jair opened his mouth and closed it... Taking a deep breath, he asked: "Who were these people? Why were they attacking you?"

Amelia continued walking without answering. It wasn't because she was feeling bad that she didn't hear it, the truth was that she wasn't at all sure why that happened.

"Maybe it's her?" Amelia muttered uncertainly.

Jair heard this and understood something. He then asked no more.

It wasn't because she didn't want to say it, it was because even she didn't know who the culprit behind the attackers was.

Gradually, they entered a thicket. Jair followed her in silence.

"Here is well." Amelia stopped walking, surrounding them was surrounded by trees. It was a bit far from the road where pedestrians passed.

The lawn was high, Jair scratched his head and after hesitating, he said, "Can you sit down?"

"Mm. " She replied with a buzz and sat down on the grass.

"I'm going to put my hands on your back to make it easier, okay?" Jair said softly.

She responded with another buzz.

At this stage, she was almost losing control of her mind, and all she could think about was ripping Jair's clothes off. If he didn't find a solution soon, she didn't even know what would happen.

Hesitating a little, Jair placed both hands on Amelia's back. He didn't even waste time thinking about how soft and fragrant her skin was. Putting a full focus on healing her.

A green light appeared in his hands, little by little, he used the healing power.

As he'd said, he wasn't the best at healing, but it shouldn't be underestimated just because he wasn't good.

The effect of the aphrodisiac was different from what he expected, he could more or less feel that there was something or someone making it happen.

His focus increased, his eyes sparkled when he noticed that the healing skill got better, this was a clear sign that the skill had leveled up.

Amelia felt her stomach lurch. Now she was pretty sure Jair hadn't lied to her that he knew healing ability.

Little by little, the pain intensified, but instead of being sad about the pain, she was happy because what was affecting her mind before started to stop affecting her, she didn't even think about harmful things anymore, which was one thing good for her.

Suddenly, she felt a strong urge to throw up, it was very strong and she couldn't hold it anymore.

*Spew!*

It was like she was vomiting her guts out, it was so agonizing it made her want to die.
