Kapitel 42: Healing Lotion
The sorrows that lingered in the room only lasted for a few minutes before Isaac Aaronax shook his head and accepted the fact as it is.
"Where did she die and how did she die?" Isaac Aaronax turned to Shi Tian and asked. Given that he was quite fond of her, he wouldn't be able to forgive anyone that caused her death.
Of course, Shi Tian didn't plan to reveal much, but when Isaac Aaronax showed photos of him and Yolanda, including how close they were, he could subtly understand their relationship now.
Toward Yolanda, Isaac Aaronax was seeing her as a daughter.
And now that said daughter had died, Isaac Aaronax merely wanted to know what had occurred.
"Are you sure you could believe me?" Shi Tian asked calmly. His meaning was crystal clear for Isaac Aaaronax to understand.
Since ultimately, it was him that had the gears Yolanda equipped on her, it would have been impossible to not suspect her death might have been related to him.
Meanwhile, Isaac Aaronax flashed a brief smile as he nodded his head. "Did you think I would have revealed this much to you if I couldn't trust you?"
"You've investigated me before?"
"Indeed, I have. Originally, I was slightly shocked when you first entered the room because the gears you stored have only been personally made for Yolanda and never anyone else. Thus, I had to investigate you properly before deciding what to do next."
Shi Tian was a bit anxious when he heard those words that contained slight killing intent. It was clear that he would have died tonight if Isaac Aaronax believed he was the cause of Yolanda's death.
"But how did you know I'm not involved?" Shi Tian asked, seemingly confused as to how he managed to figure out that much. It wasn't like the incident scene had any camera recording or anything for others to rewind and witness.
"Yolanda is a mercenary and with money, one can easily find someone to investigate. She was teamed up with two men, Xavier and Hugo, and I already learned that those two men have safely returned, with great harvesting too. Meanwhile, you aren't even there, meaning your name might be a fake as well, but that doesn't matter much to me. What matters is that she didn't team up with you and that you are a foreigner." Isaac Aaronax explained.
Hearing such a long-winded explanation, Shi Tian nodded his head.
He didn't doubt Isaac Aaronax's words because, with his reputation alone within Optic Mech, it wouldn't be hard for him to mobilize the hidden shadow figures to apprehend him.
"So can you care to tell me what happened to her if you know it?"
Shi Tian sighed softly and began to retell everything from scratch, not bothering to hide anything. His conscience was clear, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Time slowly passed by, and when Isaac Aaronax finished hearing the story from him, there was a bit of tear leaking through his eyelid.
Naturally, Shi Tian remained silent once he finished relaying everything to let Isaac Aaronax absorb the information slowly.
Although he couldn't tell how close their relationship was, it was extremely clear that Isaac Aaronax had taken a hard hit from the news of her death.
After a moment of silence, Isaac Aaronax suddenly turned around and punched the wall, his fist turning bruised in the process.
"Those two cowardly men!" He screamed in a furious tone, his expression was grim.
"If it wasn't for this old bone of mine, then I would have slaughtered those two cowardly men- no, it would be inhuman pigs that describe them better."
Blood started trickling down from Isaac Aaronax's fist, and Shi Tian calmly walked toward the counter to grab a tissue.
"I won't tell you to calm down, but punching the wall wouldn't do anything. Even if you break your bones or scream at the top of your lungs, nothing will happen. At the end of the day, they will still be living no matter how much self pain you inflict on yourself." Shi Tian then said, handing the tissue over for him to wipe the blood off.
Isaac Aaronax smiled bitterly, taking the tissue from Shi Tian.
Of course, he understood his words were correct, but his emotion had gone uncontrollable when he heard how cowardly the men were which resulted in Yolanda's death.
"Thank you, young man. At the very least, you gave her a proper burial that she deserves." Isaac Aaronax said once he managed to calm his emotion. He wasn't angry at Shi Tian because he could determine his strength wasn't enough to fend off a Tenceloras, much less save Yolanda's life.
"Rest assured, Mechanist Isaac Aaronax. I owe her a favor and I will fulfill them once I'm strong enough." Shi Tian patted the back of Isaac Aaronax and reassured him.
Sometime later, Isaac Aaronax opened a container and put some lotion on his bloody fist. And to Shi Tian's surprise, the wound of his fist started to recover into its original state.
"This is a healing lotion, manufactured with a special type of monster that is capable of healing humans. Though this kind of healing lotion wouldn't do much to life-threatening injuries." Isaac Aaronax explained when he saw the shocked expression of Shi Tian.
And he continued, "Do you want to come under my tutelage and learn from me? Although I said you're a foreigner, you're too ignorant of a lot of common sense. It's as if you have just woken up after a long sleep."
Shi Tian laughed awkwardly and didn't bother to respond.
"Forget it, just follow me to the training facility and I'll give you some pointers. My old bones might not be capable of fighting anymore, but at the very least, I can still guide someone." Isaac Aaronax shook his head and left the room shortly after.
'Seems like Mechanist Isaac Aaronax wishes to pass on some teaching to me to obtain vengeance on his behalf.' Shi Tian glanced at the disappearing back of Isaac Aaronax and thought to himself.
