Metal Evolution - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Hand Over the Murderer!

The waves beat against the shore, with splashing sounds clearly audible.

“Who?” Xue Yue was shocked and his eyes darted left and right. Who was talking to him?

“What do you mean? Xue Yue, what’s wrong with you?” Helen was shocked and looked at Xue Yue inexplicably.

“Nothing, it’s nothing!” the old man hastily said. “Miss, you and Mr. Xue should eat something first!” After he said that, he motioned for the two of them to head into the tent.

“That’s right!” Helen smiled at the mention of food and she pulled Xue Yue along. “Xue Yue, come! There’s yummy food here. It’s been almost ten days since you’ve been here on the island and you must have endured a lot. You need to have a good meal today!”

“Oh… alright!” Xue Yue had his doubts and his gaze inadvertently glimpsed at Liang Bo.

“Quick, try this steak!” Helen’s face was like a flower as she grabbed food for Xue Yue.

“You should also eat…”

Brat, there’s no need to panic. I was the one talking to you earlier. I am Helen’s Grandpa Liang. Xue Yue took a bite of the steak and Liang Bo’s voice sounded in his mind.

You can silently think of what you want to say. I control brainwaves and I can hear you!

Liang Bo’s voice was cold. Brat, you’re really capable. To pursue the miss, you have taken great pains to plan so much in advance. First, it was the shipwreck, then barbarians, and lastly, arriving on this deserted island!

I admit that your methods have worked and you’ve fooled the miss upside down!

However, don’t think that you can obtain what you want by deceiving the miss. Let me tell you, it’s a pipe dream!

There are numerous suitors trying to chase Miss Helen these past few years. Be it saving a damsel in distress, gifting expensive gifts, or the so-called accidental encounters and even stalking… Let me tell you, I’ve seen plenty of these tricks!

Liang Bo’s voice became stern. The number of outstanding young men chasing her is as many as a school of silver carp moving down a stream. There are plenty who are dozens or even a hundred times more powerful than you. Let me give you some advice. Hurry and leave Miss Helen. Otherwise, there’s not even a need for me to interfere as your rivals will kill you and leave you no burial place!

Xue Yue put down the steak, looked at Liang Bo in the eyes, and said in his heart, Dear senior, I am very touched by your protection of Helen. However, you assume things too much and believe you are right. I admit that Helen is very beautiful and outstanding, but if you think that all men in this world would only chase her, then you’re terribly wrong!

I can tell you that before I was left stranded on this deserted island, I didn’t have the slightest inkling that Helen existed. After meeting her, I’ve only regarded her as a friend I can hang out with!

We will only be friends after leaving this island and nothing more. As for what you’ve said, that I have taken great efforts to plan this whole incident, by arranging a shipwreck, barbarians so on and so forth… then it’s because you are merely gauging the heart of a gentleman with your own means of measure!

Liang Bo narrowed his eyes and said, Brat, you’re still pretending! Then tell me. Why didn’t the barbarians kill Miss Helen and instead, took her to this deserted island where you are? There are no fewer than thousands of deserted islands in the surroundings, how could there be so many coincidences in this world?

Haha!

Xue Yue laughed. His laughter was filled with helplessness and irony. Old man, I have to say that you’ve already had a shadow in your heart in order to protect Helen. You’ve lost the most basic ability to judge. I won’t say anything else, as it’s simply useless!

I shall only tell you one thing. Before wronging others, I hope you can investigate properly and avoid being too self-righteous!

Oh? Then tell me. Who are you? Liang Bo asked.

My name is Xue Yue, an ordinary Chinese man, and also a survivor of the crashed plane, HA298-325! Xue Yue could not be bothered to care about the obstinate old man. However, on the account of Helen, he had tolerated his behavior!

Liang Bo was momentarily stunned before a sarcastic smile curled upon his lips. Brat, do you think I’m a three-year-old child? HA209-325 collided with a meteorite at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters in the sky. Do you think it’s possible for one to survive?

He was truly an obstinate old man!

Xue Yue was deadpanned and did not bother to explain any further. He could think whatever he liked!

Just then, a loud buzzing sounded in the air and five flying motorcycles drove towards the island from the other end of the sea. Shortly after, five white men jumped down from their vehicles.

“Liang Bo, I heard you’ve located Miss Helen. What about our family’s young master, Thomas?”

The man that took the lead was a white man in his thirties, with a height of 1.9 meters. He had a robust physique, aquiline nose, snake-like eyes, and radiated the aura of an elite.

His name was William Alexander, a Superhuman under the Aonas Family!

“That’s right, where’s Thomas?” Standing beside William was a blonde-haired young man and he glanced over Liang Bo and looked towards Helen in the tent. His eyes brightened as he went forward and asked, “Miss Helen, I’m relieved to see that you’re safe and sound. Where is Thomas?”

Xue Yue’s heart dropped and he watched Helen in nervousness.

Helen did not answer their questions but instead, her eyes turned red with tears spilling out as she started sobbing.

When they saw her appearance, the middle-aged man Willian’s expression changed and he suddenly raised his voice to question, “Miss Helen, can you say something? Where is young master Thomas? What happened to him?”

“How presumptuous of you!” Liang Bo’s voice exploded like a clap of thunder. Everyone on the beach felt their scalp exploding and became deaf in their ears as a ringing sound buzzed in their ears. “You’re merely a dog of the Aonas Family, who do you think you are to question my lady? Are you tired of living!?”

William’s expression changed the moment he said that and he hastily waved his hand. “Liang Bo, it’s a misunderstanding. This is a misunderstanding! I was in a hurry earlier and made a mistake. I seek your understanding!”

After he said that, he bowed towards Helen and said with sincerity, “Miss Helen, I’m sorry. Please forgive my recklessness. However, I would like to ask Miss Helen to tell us the whereabouts of young master Thomas!”

Helen shook her head and sobbed. “Thomas and my classmates, they… they were all eaten by barbarians!” After she said that, she suddenly burst into tears and was abnormally sad.

“Impossible!” This is impossible!” William staggered backwards. “Barbarians… how could my young master be eaten by barbarians?”

Just then, the blond-haired young man stepped forward and stared at Helen with his jade green eyes. “Miss Helen, could you tell me, why did you survive while Thomas and the rest were eaten by barbarians?”

“Kezmo, what do you mean by that?” Liang Bo coldly questioned.

The blond-haired young man, Kezmo, said with a smile, “Liang Bo. Thomas died and as the sole survivor, shouldn’t Miss Helen explain the situation clearly?”

“Hmph!” Liang Bo also knew that Kezmo’s words were reasonable and did not refute him. He merely said in a low voice, “Do pay attention to your tone. My lady is not a prisoner and no one can force her to answer!”

“Rest assured, I admire Miss Helen very much: how could I possibly make things difficult for her?” Kezmo smiled and continued looking at Helen while waiting for her reply.

Helen stopped sobbing and whispered, “Thomas and I were caught in a storm… Every time we arrived at an island, those barbarian would eat one person and in the end, I was the remaining one. After they brought me to this deserted island, they wanted to eat me and fortunately, Xue Yue came to save me!”

Spectacular!

Xue Yue secretly applauded. Not only did Helen conceal the truth, but she had also directly pushed out the barbarians as the culprits. At the same time, her expression was perfect with her crying and sad face. If he was unaware of the truth, he would nearly believe her!

A thumbs up for you, Helen! Xue Yue was laughing in his heart. However, he felt a chill running throughout his body as two pairs of fierce eyes looked towards him!

One of them was Kezmo and the other was William!

“Brat, you were the one who rescued Miss Helen? By saving a damsel in distress, it seems like you’ve struck the lottery!”

Kezmo sized up Xue Yue and made a strange remark. All of a sudden, his expression changed as he shouted. “Be honest, who are you? Why are you on this deserted island? How are those barbarians related to you? Is Thomas’s death related to you?”

“A bug like you… it’s obvious what your plans are!” William’s expression turned gloomy. “Young master Thomas’s death is definitely related to him. If we consider everything, he would stand to gain the most out of this!”

“He made use of barbarians to kidnap Thomas and the rest, then used their hands to kill them. After that, this brat jumped out to save a damsel in distress. Not only did he eradicate his rivals, but he also earned the gratitude of Miss Helen!”

Kezmo said in an eerie tone, “Brat, I have to say that you’re too cunning. I will avenge Thomas and the rest today!”

After he said that, he met gazes with William. Both of them moved forward and surrounded Xue Yue.

They knew that their excuse was all speculation. First of all, there was no real evidence to back it up and it could not withstand scrutiny. It was still unknown if it was truly the case, but Thomas’s death needed an explanation and someone had to take responsibility for this!

If news that a direct descendant from the Aonas Family had been eaten by barbarians were to spread out, how could they not be embarrassed?

Therefore, Thomas had to have a decent way of death!

Thus, they had decided to grab Xue Yue to bear the responsibility by insisting that he was the one who conspired to kill young master Thomas. This was a better explanation and more fitting of Thomas’s identity. William and Kezmo believed that the Aonas Family would be more willing to accept this explanation!

Of course, if Xue Yue had any sort of identity, then the explanation would be even more perfect!

“What are you doing? No one is allowed to harm Xue Yue!”

Helen stood up and extended her arms like an old hen protecting its child. She pulled Xue Yue behind her and revealed a frosted expression while glaring at William and Kezmo in anger.
