"F*ck!" Xue Yuan's eyes widened in shock when he saw Goldie swallowing Thomas whole. What was the size of Goldie? It was merely as big as an ordinary domesticated cat, so how did its stomach manage to hold Thomas, the size of an adult?
It was unimaginable!
Xue Yue felt his mind short-circuit, but also felt that this was much better. What other ways were there to completely eliminate a corpse better than this?
"Xue… Xue Yue. Are you going to kill me to remove all witnesses?" Helen's attention was not on Goldie. She trembled slightly as she looked at Xue Yue in fright and there was not the slightest trace of color on her face.
"Kill you to remove all witnesses?"
Xue Yue has recovered his senses due to shock from Helen's words, but after a moment's thought, he understood why. Helen had witnessed himself killing Thomas and if it were someone else, the wisest action right now was to kill her, the sole witness.
Kill to remove all witnesses!
In this way, he would root out all possible seedlings and this matter would be concealed without a trace and no one would ever get to know of this!
"Kill you?"
Xue Yue felt his heart tremble. That idea had indeed flashed past his mind momentarily, but he dismissed it soon after. Killing Thomas was to take revenge, but if he killed Helen too, then it would be crazed cruelty!
Even though killing Helen could prevent all future troubles and save much trouble, could he possibly complete such an act?
"Helen, what are you thinking? I'm a normal person, not some murderous maniac!" Xue Yue tried to relax as he chuckled and said.
Helen stared at Xue Yue blankly and her eyes flickered with uncertainty. It was only after a long time where she realized Xue Yue was not putting on an act did she breathe a sigh of relief and said in all seriousness, "Xue Yue, thank you! You're a good person, and I really mean it. You can rest assured that I won't reveal this to anyone!" Her beautiful face revealed a determined expression!
"I trust you!" Xue Yue touched his nose and said, "Helen, can you tell me who exactly is Thomas? It seems like he's from some Aonas Family, but there's also the thing with the temple. What's that? Some sort of organization? Why haven't I heard of this before?"
In the current modern society where network information is well developed, as long as it was something that existed on Earth, there should be some information circulating on the web no matter how confidential it was.
However, there was not the slightest bit of information about the Aonas Family and this temple!
As such, Xue Yue found it very strange!
Helen bit her lips and hesitated for a moment before she faintly said, "Xue Yue, I'm hungry. Can we get something to eat first?"
"Erm… sure!"
The sky was gradually getting brighter.
In the east direction where the sea meets the sky, a wisp of pure white surfaced. The sun rose while dispelling the dark sky and the stars disappeared. A thin and long orange-colored ribbon appeared on the horizon, similar to a colorful river between the sea and the sky.
Xue Yue opened the earthen stove, took out a small spark, and placed it in a pile of tinder before he gently blew on it. Not long later, smoke rose in spirals and the tinder started to burn!
Upon shifting the tinder into piles of dry wood, the bonfire burned even more brilliantly as time passed. Xue Yue washed the dodo bird meat and barbecued it with the bonfire.
Helen hugged her knees and curled up near the fire as her eyes were red and swollen. Her body had also trembled slightly. Xue Yue sighed as he had no idea how he should comfort her.
Crackle…
Crackle…
The bonfire continued to burn and the plump meat softly sizzled. A tempting fragrance spread out and Xue Yue's stomach growled as he took a sniff.
Approximately dozens of minutes later, the meat was more or less cooked. Xue Yue tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Helen.
"Thank you!"
Helen politely thanked him as she took the chicken leg and started eating with an elegant posture. She was very well mannered when she ate.
"Goldie, you want some?" Xue Yuetook the roasted meat and waved it before Goldie. However, it wrinkled its petite nose and turned away in disgust as it continued to sit in repose with its eyes closed.
"You're not eating? I'll have it then!" Xue Yue shook its head and found it slightly funny as he tore a piece of meat and ate it with relish.
Xue Yue, who… who is this?" Helen pointed to Goldie and revealed traces of curiosity. In fact, as early as dawn just now, she had discovered Goldie lying on Xue Yue's shoulders. However, she did not dare to ask anything.
"Its name is Goldie and it can be considered as my friend and savior. I met Goldie after Thomas pushed me down the sinkhole and it was the one who saved me!" Xue Yue looked at Goldie and smiled.
"Thomas, that b*stard with the appearance of a human but with the heart of a beast! How did I not realize he was such a person in the past? He's scum!" At the mention of Thomas, Helen revealed a furious expression and she could not help but recall the scene where they arrived on the deserted island.
"He's indeed a scam!" Xue Yue agreed with her description very much!
Subsequently, the both of them did not speak as they quietly ate their first breakfast ever since coming to the island. The sun gradually rose and the creatures on the island began to move.
After consecutively consuming two delicious chicken legs, Helen was feeling more energetic and she started to answer the previous question. "Xue Yue, let me ask you a question: I hope that you can answer me honestly!"
"Go ahead!"
"Thomas mentioned that you are a Superhuman and I also witnessed spikes growing out of your hands earlier. You are a Superhuman, am I right?" Helen looked at Xue Yue and asked.
"Superhuman?" Xue Yue furrowed his brows and raised his right hand. Extremely sharp silver spikes appeared on his hands and they sparkled dazzling under the morning sun's illumination.
"As expected, it's a superpower!"
Helen's eyes brightened and she said repeatedly, "It's a superpower! There's no mistake!"
"Superpower?" Xue Yue asked. "Helen, could it be that my abilities are called superpowers?"
"That's right!" Helen nodded again and again. "There are nearly 7 billion people in the world and there will always be some special individuals that possess special abilities beyond ordinary people."
"These people have been blessed by the Gods and have awakened their superpowers, thus turning into Superhumans that are extremely rare. Moreover, they become the elites of this world from then on!"
"Elites?" Xue Yue was stunned. "Being a Superhuman means becoming an elite?"
Xue Yue felt that the elite Helen mentioned seemed to be somewhat different from the elites he understood!
"The topic of Superhumans concerns a big secret of this world! You might not know, but the world is in fact, divided into two classes. The ordinary class and the elite class!"
"As the name implies, you should have already expected that ordinary class refers to all the ordinary people in this world. Nearly 99% of the people in this world belong to the ordinary class!"
"Ordinary people live ordinary lives, attend ordinary school, go to ordinary hospitals, work at ordinary companies, and have an ordinary lifestyle…"
"What about the elite class?" Xue Yue asked.
"The elite class naturally refers to the elites of the human world!"
"Those who can afford tens of millions of luxury cars are not elites. Neither does having a private helicopter mean you are an elite. Those international big shots who possess millions of fans, with escorts surrounding them and will often appear on the media, are also not elites!"
"Being rich and powerful does not mean they are an elite. Those who stand above the rest in a particular field are also not elites! In that case, so who would be considered an elite?"
"Elites refer to the true wielder of this world, a small group of people standing at the peak. They include high-ranking officials, super tycoons, top scientists, and Superhumans. Of course, it includes the families of these elites too!"
Helen continued to speak, "The society of the elites is completely different from the ordinary class. It is similar to the Heavens and Earth, where both cannot be compared with. The environment, education, medical care, and resources they get to enjoy are decades or even hundreds of years ahead of ordinary classes. In summary, it is much better in comparison."
"Let me give you the simplest example. The average life expectancy of ordinary people is 75 years, but do you know the average life expectancy of those from the elite class?"
"90?" Xue Yue said a number which he believed to be high.
Helen shook her head and said, "You're wrong! It's 150 years!"
"150… 150 years!?" Xue Yue was shocked. Was it possible for humans to live to 150 years old? Until today, he had never heard of anyone who lived past 150 years!
"Moreover, these are statistics computed two years ago. You can not imagine the environment of elite society! Therefore, there are many tycoons, senior officials, large financial groups, who know of the elite class and have tried all means to enter that class. However, is the elite class that easy to enter?"
Helen looked at Xue Yue and said in all seriousness, "Your country has produced several rich tycoons in recent years, but few of them are qualified to become elites! It can be said that any single one of the super tycoons of the elite class are all family-managed super financial groups. There's no need to further mention the wealth they possess, but the main point of focus is that they must at least have a hundred years of heritage!"
"If those senior officials and scientists wish to enter the elite class, the difficulty level is not lower than those super tycoons!"
"Therefore, for an ordinary person, even if you are a senior official or a tycoon, wanting to enter the elite class is harder than ascending the heavens! However, there are always exceptions to everything…"
Speaking of this, Helen's pretty eyes shifted and focused at Xue Yue as she said with a passion, "As long as you awaken superpowers, even if you are an ordinary man, you will enter the elite class in an instant!"
"Superhumans would be immediately regarded as elites? Why is that so?"
Xue Yue was shocked. Based on Helen's introduction of the elite class, the difficulty of entering it was not ordinarily difficult. They are either people who wield real authority or family-owned super financial groups with a long heritage. As for scientists who can become elites, they are definitely the best in the world without a doubt!
Since it was so difficult to become an elite, how could Superhumans deserve such special treatment to enter the elite class in the blink of an eye?
"It's because Superhumans possess power!"
Helen's eyes sparkled as she excitedly said, "Do you know? Once you awaken your superpower, you will possess unimaginable power where one can fight a plane or cannon with your physical body. Or your speed can reach the speed of sound and soar in the sky like a bird. It's to the extent that you can survive in a vacuum!"
"Superhumans are existences similar to Superman, and so they are elites by default!" Helen looked at Xue Yue with a hint of worship. "As for the temple, they are the elites of the elite class. The reason for that is because the temple is a group established by the peerless powerhouses amongst Superhumans!"
