Chapter 207: Trust (2/2)

He had gotten into the game without changing his clothes, so he quickly changed his clothes before going to the kitchen for dinner. Hannah was already there waiting for him, so he had a proper dinner with his sister.

After helping her with the dishes, he went back to the game half an hour later.

He logged back into the game and opened his eyes. In front of him was Zheng Min, standing a little further away. His eyes were wide open. On the right hand, he held a pointed stone with a red tip, dripping something.

On the left hand, he had a lump of something black.

Due to not being a cultivator anymore, Alex couldn't see everything as clearly as he could when he was a cultivator, but thanks to body cultivation, it was still much better than normal humans.

”What is that?” he asked, a little disoriented as to what was happening. Suddenly, a sharp pain appeared in his chest. Alex looked to his left chest to see that his robe was in tatters and there was a large cut on his skin.

The cut was a little deeper than his skin, but that still hurt him quite a bit. He quickly tore off his robes and put them on the would. The wound itself wasn't bleeding a lot, but he still decided to do it.

Once the robe was torn, he realized that there was nothing inside. His ration of food had disappeared. His eyes turned wide and he immediately looked at Zheng Min who was still in shock. It was then Alex realized that the black lump on his hand, was his food.

It didn't take much after that to realize that he had been attacked by Zheng Min.

”Wh-Why?” Zheng Min asked. ”Why won't you die? How are you still alive?” he asked.

”You— You attacked me?” Alex asked in shock. He had helped the guy so much, even saved him from near death, and yet, he had attacked his heart with a sharp rock If it wasn't for the fact that he cultivated body, he probably would've successfully plunged the rock into his heart.

”I saved you— why would you attack me?” he asked.

”Ha— Haha— ha ahaha,” Zheng Min started to laugh. ”Can't you see? I want your food. I nearly died due to the lack of food. I'm not letting that happen again,” he said.

”But I saved you?” Alex asked.

”So? As a criminal, you must know that trust is as fickle as the snow in summer. Still, as a thank you, I wanted to kill you while you were in your sleep. Why wouldn't you die? What kind of treasure are you wearing over your body?” he started asking.

”You… betrayed me because you wanted my food and tried to kill me in my sleep as thanks?” Alex asked in shock. He was starting to feel something he had never felt before.
