The night scene shrouded the deserted island and not a single sound could be heard. It was also pitch-black, where one could not see their outstretched hands.

Sounds of waterfall came from the pool, bringing out traces of life to the deadly silent deserted island.

Within the cave, a lady of mixed race was lying on the bed as she was deep asleep. The ground near the bed was covered with hay and dead branches and Thomas was currently sleeping atop of it.

The interior of the cave was extremely dark, emphasizing the silence and only both their breathing sounds could be heard. All of a sudden, Thomas, who was lying on the hay, suddenly shifted and caused a rustling sound.

Soon after, Thomas stealthily climbed up and crept to Helen’s side on tiptoes.

“Helen, you are mine. Mine! No one can snatch you away!”

Thomas’s gaze was blazing, similar to two lanterns in the darkness that radiated green light. He crept to the bedside and carefully reached out to Helen’s body before pouncing on her.

Due to the heavy pressure, Helen roused from her dreams. She then discovered that her arm had been caressed and pinched by someone, and it was about to touch her chest. At the same time, a warm breath blew on her stomach and she was instantly surprised yet furious. How could she be oblivious to what was happening!

“Thomas, you are a beast. Get away from me!”

While feeling surprised and infuriated at the same time, Helen mustered up all her strength and struggled violently. She then raised her fist and threw a punch at Thomas. Her legs were not idle as her knees kicked up with all her strength!

“Ahhh!”

Thomas released a miserable scream in the darkness and was followed by a sound of someone falling and hitting the ground. “Ouch, it hurts! You *** of a b*tch, how dare you kick me in that place…”

As it turns out, Helen’s random kick resulted in her knee coincidentally hitting against Thomas’s crotch head on. He suffered from severe pain from the kick and directly rolled down from the bed.

Thomas hugged his lower body while howling in pain and cursed out loud. His previous gentlemanly behavior had disappeared without a thrace. “Helen, you b*tch. Just you wait, I won’t let you off…”

“Thomas, I didn’t expect you to be so despicable and vulgar. We are friends for goodness sake. How can you do this to me? Wuu…” Helen was furious and sad at the same time and she dashed out of the cave with her face covered.

“Slut! You can’t escape…”

The deserted island was enveloped in darkness and it was pitch-black outside. Helen, who was filled with grief and indignation had tripped over something the moment she ran out the courtyard and crashed on the ground with a scream.

“Ah! My leg… who is it??”

“Who’s there?!”

Just as Helen endured the severe pain and wanted to get up, a wave of dull footsteps had shocked her, causing her complexion to turn ashen white. She and Thomas were the only ones on this island, so where did these footsteps come from?

Could it be some sort of beast?

Or perhaps those barbarians had returned?

“Helen, it’s me, Xue Yue!” However, never in her wildest dreams did she expect to hear a familiar voice.

When she heard the voice, she turned pale from shock as she was somewhat in disbelief. With a trembling voice, she asked, “Xue Yue, didn’t you die? How are you here?”

Xue Yue walked out of the mountain forest and jumped down from the slope, reaching Helen’s side in several steps. His voice, as cold as the Arctic sounded, “Die? Indeed, I had nearly died, but it seems it’s not my time yet and the heavens do not dare to accept me! Thomas, that b*stard had…”

When Helen realized that Xue Yue was still alive, she pounced over in happiness while crying and laughing at the same time. “You’re not dead? That’s great. I thought you passed away… Wuu wuu~~ It’s great, the gods must have blessed you!”

It did not pose a problem for Helen to pounce on him, but just as her arms were about to circle around Xue Feng’s neck, her arm had brushed against Goldie. Even though the attack was painless, the sudden attack caused Goldie to be triggered!

Gugu~~ Goldie flew up, roared and revealed its claws, and seemed as if it was about to attack.

“Goldie, stop it. She’s my friend!” As Xue Yue’s body had undergone mutation, his eyesight had been greatly enhanced. Even in the dark, he could have a clear view: how could Goldie’s movements possibly escape from his eyes? He immediately tried to appease Goldie.

Having heard him, Goldie blinked and stared at Helen in doubt. It was only after a long time did it retract its claws and circle around the sky for a period, as it wanted to land on Xue Yue’s shoulders. However, his shoulders had been occupied by Helen and could only settle for Xue Yue’s head.

“Xue Yue, what are you talking about?”

Goldie was as black as ink and so Helen did not notice its existence. She only heard some strange noises and could not help but wonder.

“Nothing!” Xue Yue casually replied and asked, “Where’s Thomas?”

“He’s…. He’s in the cave!” The mention of Thomas caused Helen to reveal a loathing expression.

“B*stard!” Xue Yue’s eyes instantly burst into flames as he rushed directly towards the cave. However, upon entering the cave, he did not manage to discover Thomas!

“He ran?” Xue Yue was surprised and angry. He dashed out of the cave and stared at his surroundings in search of a trace of him, but could not spot a single strand of his hair. “He must have heard my voice earlier and escaped in fright. That b*stard!”

Just then, Goldie on his head cooed twice, flew to the space above the pool and circled around a spot.

“He hid himself underwater?”

Xue Yue’s eyes brightened and he ran to the edge of the pool in a hurry.

“Thomas, get out!”

The surface of the pool remained calm without any movement!

“Good! So you won’t come up, huh? I’d like to see how long you can last!”

Xue Yue laughed maliciously and stood rooted while his tiger-like eyes coldly scanned the pool.

True to his guess, Thomas could not sustain underwater for long. Less than a minute passed and a water ripple could be heard while Thomas’s head came out the water.

“Hah! I was wondering how long you could possibly last…”

Xue Yue took off his shirt, jumped down and swam directly towards Thomas!

“No! Don’t come any closer!”

Thomas turned pale with fright and swam towards the opposite direction. However, how could his speed possibly compare to Xue Yue? He did not manage to swim far before he had been grabbed by Xue Yue like an eagle catching a little chick!

“Xue Yue, please let me go. I must have been momentarily possessed to have committed such an act. I know my mistake. It’s my fault, I beg of you to let me off!”

“As long as you let me off, I will repay you. I will give you money, tons of it. Tens of millions, hundreds of millions, as long as you let me go, I am willing to even give you billions!”

“I was wrong, I really know my mistakes. Please, let me off…”

Thomas was overwhelmed by terror and loudly begged for forgiveness. The once superior and arrogant young master was begging for Xue Yue’s forgiveness like a dog.

“Hmph! Let you off? It’s too late!” Xue Yue walked out the pool, flung him on the ground and stepped on his legs. Thomas’ legs were bent with a crack.

“Ahhh!” Thomas suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream.

“Xue Yue, what are you doing?”

Just then, the sky had slightly brightened and Helen came running with a limp. She looked at Xue Yue and shouted in disbelief.

“What am I doing?” Xue Yue’s eyes had turned slightly red. “I saved him out of good intention but that bastard was ungrateful and repaid my kindness with ingratitude by pushing me down a bottomless sinkhole. If it were not for my luck, I would have already been shattered to pieces!”

“What? So that was what happened?!” Helen was gobsmacked and her furious gaze immediately locked onto Thomas as she reprimanded him. “Thomas, how could you do this? Xue Yue had saved our lives, how could you do this to him?”

“Helen, save your breath. I will kill this b*stard today!”

Xue Yue was burning with rage and could not be bothered to waste his breath on him. He grabbed Thomas by the collar and just as his fist was about to strike, Helen had unexpectedly stopped him.

“Xue Yue, hold on!” Helen widened her eyes and pointed at Thomas before pointing at Xue Yue again as she said in a tone of disbelief. “You… What are you intending to do?”

“What am I doing? I’m going to kill him!”

“No! You can’t kill him!” Helen turned pale from fright and continued to stop him. “Even though he’s at fault, you can’t kill him. Absolutely no way! Otherwise, you will cause a huge disaster!”

“T-that’s right! Xue Yue, you can’t kill me!” Thomas also managed to react as he screamed his lungs out. “I’m a member of the Aonas family and I possess an extremely noble background. If you kill me, you will be subjected to endless anger directed at you from the Aonas family. My family will make you die a graveless death!”

“Aonas Family?” Xue Yue furrowed his brows and coldly said, “Thomas, you seem to have forgotten something. This place is not a civilized society, but a deserted island!”

Thomas’ complexion immediately turned ghastly white. That’s right, they were on a deserted island without a single soul. Therefore, even if someone was killed and the body was destroyed, so what?

What’s more, he would have already been eaten by the barbarians if not for Xue Yue’s saving them. How could he have lived until now?

“No no no! You can’t kill me, Xue Yue. I beg of you, please don’t kill me. You’ve already awakened your superpowers and you’re a Superhuman. The temple stipulates that it is strictly forbidden for any Superhuman to attack ordinary citizens. If you kill me, you will be punished by the temple. You will definitely be punished!”

“The temple is supreme and no one dares to provoke them. Xue Yue, you can’t kill me!”

“I don’t know what bullshit temple you are talking about, and I don’t wish to know! I only know that you have repaid my kindness with ingratitude and nearly killed me. If you’re not dead, my heart will feel uneasy!” Xue Yue said with a stern and grave expression. “Therefore, you must die!”

Just as he finished his last word, Zing zing zing—

For spikes surfaced from his right fist and instantly pierced into Thomas’s chest. Sounds of blood splattering all over could be heard.

“No—”

Helen was shocked in place as she gawked at the scene and forgot to react. She continued shaking her head while softly whispering.

“Goldie, go and throw his corpse into the underground crack. Make sure you throw him inside the crack!” Xue Yue retracted his spikes, wiped the blood splattered on the back of his hand and said to Goldie.

Gu gu~~

Goldie glanced at Thomas and shook its head like a rattle as if saying, “I won’t move!”

“Goldie, please help with this. I’ll treat you to a feast afterwards!” Xue Yue revealed a shameless expression as a spike appeared on his right hand and he handed it to Goldie.

Goldie glanced at Xue Yue with scorn. All of a sudden, it widened its mouth and there were suddenly ripples around the space in front. The ripples spread forward and directly shrouded the corpse on the ground.

Shortly after, the corpse flew up and swiftly shrunk in size and flew towards Goldie’s mouth. In the end, it had been swallowed by Goldie and disappeared with a trace!

“F*ck!”
