Chapter 44: Ocean Bottom (1/2)

The next morning, Amon woke up feeling strange. Everything that happened the night before didn't feel real, but the feeling was still there. Even now, he could feel his heart beating faster.

While he was still stunned, thinking about what had happened the night before, Ariel appeared beside him and stood there looking curiously at Amon's change of expression. It was a rare event, even unique, she felt like a worshiper of works of art, while Amon was a rare living statue.

”There's no point thinking about it right now...” Amon muttered, then his expression changed to a cold, indifferent look.

Ariel snickered at this, but she didn't point. Instead, she just stood to one side and greeted him, ”Good morning, Amon.”

Amon looked at her and nodded, ”Oh, good morning.”

His usual indifferent voice made Ariel laugh.

Amon didn't understand, but he didn't ask.

Ariel laughed again, which made Amon look at her once more, thinking that something must be wrong with this girl.

Of course, even though she acted like that, Ariel's eyes were filled with wonder. There were only four people on earth she really admired: Her mother, the Tang grandparents, and Amon.

'He's not even turned 18, and He's already at the 49-gene level, both normal and lightning...' Ariel, in a sense, felt more motivated. Amon's motivation to become stronger was contagious. He always had been, ever since he was little, that's why she liked to train with him so much.

”Amon, come here.” Spotting him, Bianca called to him as she left her tent.

Amon shivered a little, he had just collected himself, but it was only for a second before he went back to his usual indifferent expression.

”Yes.” Amon went to where she was.

.

.

Soon, two days passed.

Amon and the girls' training was completed, and they progressed by leaps and bounds. Among them, the one who was most satisfied was Ariel, with the strength of almost 40 genes and 33 psychic genes filled.

Amon managed to get out of the bottleneck with the fury gene, but you couldn't say the same with normal genes; obviously, he was also stuck at 49 with lightning.

”I was supposed to be happy.” Putting her hands behind her head, Julia sighs but then smiles a little, ”I'm weird, right?” She looks at Amon.

Amon looks at her; his face remained unchanged, ”Mm?”

”Like, I like being with our family, having a nice bed, having a decent shower, but I must say the days we spent training on the mountain were great.” She laughed.

”That I have to agree.” Barbara said with her hands in her pocket, ”Those days were very profitable for me.”

”Not just for you.” Maisa arched her brow and smiled, ”I believe everyone had a large margin of increase.”

The way they were descending the mountain was mud, and their feet sunk a little, as it rained every day because of Amon.

If they weren't careful, it would be easy for them to slip and fall. The animals still followed them until they reached the end of the mountain.

Some growled or roared as a sign of farewell. However, it must be said that they were reluctant to part with them.

Some even became friends with the girls, especially those who were more cute or very wild looking, like leopard, lion, bear, and some ferocious wolves.

What they liked best was a dark-skinned fox; it was quite peculiar and had two tails. About this fox, they had a tactical agreement not to tell anyone. If people knew that such a rare fox lives on this mountain, it wouldn't be long before hunters appeared looking to capture the fox.

”It's already here. That's nice.” On the road, a white limousine, the same one that Bianca used on Saturday, was parked on the side of the road, near the entrance to the mountain.

A good-natured man in a suit and white gloves was waiting for them. The moment Bianca arrived, he respectfully bowed.

”Good job.” Bianca smiled softly as she walked past the butler.

The door opened, and she entered. ”Come in, don't just wait there.” She said.
