The sea breeze blew across the Pacific Ocean, sending forth rolling waves. Xue Yue laid on the beach as he was calming down his turbulent emotions. The earlier killings made him uncomfortable.
Rumble—
Just then, rumbling sounds came from someone not far away from the sea. A silver flying motorcycle flew towards his direction and Xue Yue instantly stood up and stared at it on full alert.
The person riding the motorcycle was Liang Bo, and he was alone!
"Hello, Mr. Xue Yue!"
Liang Bo jumped off the motorcycle and walked to Xue Yan's side. He had an amiable smile on his face, but it seemed slightly awkward. "Mr. Xue, please forgive my previous recklessness. I apologize for the earlier misunderstanding where I had wronged you. I hope that you won't be too concerned about it!"
What are you scheming? Xue Yue furrowed his brows as he was confused. The old man's change was too big. He looked at him like a bug earlier, as if he did not even want to spare him another second of his gaze. But right now… he's being so affectionate?
As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous is definitely hiding evil intentions!
Therefore, Xue Yue was even more alert.
"Mr. Xue Yue, it's like this!" Liang Bo smiled and said, "I had investigated the passenger list for the HA298-325 plane and came to realize that I had misunderstood you. I hope that you won't take it to heart!"
"Hmph!" Xue Yue snorted and was secretly relieved. "Then what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to express my apologies and gratitude!"
"There's no need for gratitude and I don't wish to say anything unnecessary. I only have one question!"
"Please ask!"
"I've saved Helen, do you admit this?"
"It was my fault earlier, and Mr. Xue has indeed saved my family's miss. I will always remember this kindness and dare not forget it!" Liang Bo said with sincerity as if he did not mind Xue Yue's cold tone in the slightest!
"Since you acknowledge it, then I have no other request other than this. I hope that you can send me back to China!" Xue Yue brought up his request. "After it's done, consider us even!"
It was an indisputable fact that he had saved Helen and so what if he asked them to send him back? Compared to him saving Helen's life, it was nothing at all!
Helen, I'm sorry. I have no other choice but to do this to leave the island. I hope that you can understand my situation! Xue Yue sighed deep down. In fact, saving Helen was honestly as easy as lifting a hand and he did not expect anything in return. However, right now he was using that as leverage to negotiate with Liang Bo.
That went against Xue Yue's initial intention. After all, he honestly got along well with Helen and regarded her as a friend!
However, he could not care so much in order to leave this deserted island!
"It's not a problem to send Mr. Xue back. But the grace of saving the young lady is much greater than that and how could it be considered even? You might not take it seriously, but I can't do the same…" Liang Bo smiled and did not feel surprised.
Which civilized man would be willing to stay on this deserted island without any signs of life?
Therefore, anyone would fight for a chance to leave at every opportunity.
If he did not strive for it due to pride, then he would be a real idiot!
"There's no need!" Xue Yue shook his head before turning and walked towards the sea.
"Mr. Xue, please wait for a moment, I'll get someone to deliver a vehicle!" Liang Bo called to stop him.
"There's no need!"
Xue Yue immediately jumped and he flew up 7-8 meters high, forming a perfect parabola before landing into the sea!
"That personality of his…"
Liang Bo could not help but frown at Xue Yue who would rather swim than ride their motorcycle. But soon, his frown relaxed and he revealed a smile. "It's no wonder they say that geniuses are unruly. I think that this boy is even more unruly than normal geniuses."
Xue Yue's strong physique endowed him with unparalleled swimming speed. With the moving of his hands and kicking of his feet, his whole body shot out like a sword!
Vrooom!
Liang Bo shook his head after sharting at Xue Yue for a long time. He then started the flying motorcycle and flew towards the yacht.
…
Just then, on the other side of the deserted island, a silver airship pierced through the sky and released rumbling sounds as it headed towards the island.
The airship was shaped like a football and it was around twenty meters wide. Its outer appearance was pitch-black, engraved with two horns and two devilish wings on its rear.
It was a floating airship powered by a nuclear fusion reactor, and a medium-sized aircraft dedicated to elite class usage.
Its speed was very fast and it flew across a large distance in the blink of an eye, appearing before the place where an explosion had happened on the deserted island.
The aircraft descended and four white men alighted. One man was holding onto a small radar as he surveyed the surroundings. "This is the location where Nitrell died!"
"The traces here are evidently caused by the explosion of the nuclear reaction furnace inside the flying motorcycle. Don't tell me Nitrell, that idiot, was killed by the explosion?" A blond-haired white man with blue eyes said in ridicule.
The remaining trio laughed without taking the comment to heart. Nitrell was an A-grade Superhuman, how could he be so foolish?
"Look, what's that?" A sharp-eyed individual glanced at the scorched black monster's corpse and could not help but gasp.
The four of them hastily ran over.
"Monster?"
One man exclaimed and pulled out a knife from his waist. With a flash, the knife cut open the corpse, revealing the flesh and bones inside.
"Blue blood and brown bones?"
"This is a monster without a doubt!"
The four of them met gazes and their breathing gradually became urgent.
"Have you ever seen a monster with blue blood?"
"Moreover, generally speaking, why would monsters appear on such a deserted island?"
"Could there be a monster cave on this deserted island?"
"You're right! It's very likely!"
"Nitrell must have come to this island and discovered a monster. While fighting against it, he accidentally attacked his flying motorcycle and as a result…"
After simple speculations, the few of them assumed that they had figured out the whole incident. They could not help but feel overjoyed. "Haha, Nitrell, that b*stard is really unlucky. Originally, it's great luck to have discovered a monster cave, but he does not have the fortune to enjoy the rewards!"
"Quick, check! Check out the monster database. If this monster is a new species, then we've struck the jackpot. Take note to disconnect from the network when you're checking. This news cannot be exposed at all costs!"
"That's right…"
Soon, they got an answer.
"Hahaha, we've struck gold. We've hit the jackpot! This is a new species of monster!"
"Look around! There must be a monster cave in the vicinity. We must find it as fast as possible!"
"Let's split up and search!"
The four men were extremely excited and hastily spread out to search for the monster cave. Soon, they found the sinkhole.
"This sinkhole must be the monster cave!"
"I can't be wrong!"
"Haha…"
They were clearly aware of what a new monster cave meant. It could be said that whoever was fortunate enough to discover a monster cave would have their status elevated to the level of a nouveau riche in the elite class based on the huge reward alone!
However, there were only so many monster caves on Earth. It was either split up by those large influences or some abandoned caves with no development value. How could there be new caves for them to discover?
Right now, there was a new monster cave before them and who would not be overjoyed if placed in this situation?
"Inform the family at once!"
"Yes…"
After the excitement receded, the four decided to inform the family as no one knew what might happen if they were to delay. However, just as one of them took out their phones and were about to contact the family…
Whoosh—
Following the sound of something splitting through the air, a massive palm flew out of the sinkhole. The palm was extremely huge and was at least dozens of meters wide. It enlarged the entrance to the sinkhole and grabbed towards the four men!
"Careful—"
They responded in a timely manner by retreating backward as they noticed the huge palm attacking at the very first instance.
However, they never expected that despite the large palm size, its slapping speed was outrageous. When they jumped up into the sky and their bodies were still suspended in mid-air, the palm had covered them and grabbed them.
Crack— Crunch—
"Ah—"
After a series of bone-cracking sounds and miserable shrieks that caused one's hair to stand, fresh blood flowed down and dripped on the grassland.
Whoosh—
The giant palm returned to the sinkhole a moment later, as if it had never appeared. At the same time, the ground below the suspended airship dozens of meters away seemed to have turned into a flowing swamp with a whirlpool in the middle.
The suspended airship slowly sank towards the center of the vortex and sank deeper with every second. After several moments, the 20-meter long airship had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been there before.
The ground had returned to its original calmness.
Four white men plus a floating airship. This group of people, who had just arrived on the deserted island, seemed to just pass by as they left no trace behind.
Only their blood that dripped on the ground was showing that someone had been there!
…
"Xue Yue, it's great that you're fine. Thank god!" Helen could not help but cry with joy when she saw Xue Yue on the yacht after waking up. She hugged him and didn't let go. She was honestly frightened earlier.
"Don't cry anymore, you won't be beautiful if you continue crying!" Xue Yue patted Helen's back and softly comforted her. "I haven't eaten anything decent for a very long time. Are you intending to hug me the whole way?"
"Young lady, Mr. Xue is right. You two should eat something first!" Liang Bo smiled and said.
"Right…" Helen hastily stopped her crying and pulled him towards the restaurant on the yacht. "Xue Yue, there's nothing to worry about. This yacht is made of carbon fiber and there is very little metal on the surface!"
Originally Xue Yue was still hesitant and he breathed a sigh of relief after Helen's explanation. "Whew, that's great!"
Soon after, the two arrived at the restaurant and Liang Bo had ordered men to deliver the food. Xue Yue was not reserved in the slightest and ate without reservation. He would be polite towards Liang Bo, that old man, but he was not reserved at all in front of Helen!
"Xue Yue, will you come back to America with me?"
After the meal, Xue Yue stroked his tummy and laid on the deck while enjoying the sun. Helen was seated beside him when she suddenly whispered.
"No, I won't be going to America. I need to return to Beijing and visit my father!"
