My Waste Husband
Chapter 989

Chapter 989

The carriage stopped in front of a gothic-style tavern.

Henry and Sackcloth Visitor stepped out of the carriage, following Andrew.

Entering the tavern, what Henry saw was exactly a scene out of the industrial revolution time of Europe. There was a fireplace in the lobby, and people were drinking beer and smoking cigars indoors.

The customers were talking and swearing loudly, and all they talked about were women and money. Henry suddenly had a feeling that he was time-traveled back in history.

"Are these actors?"

Henry said to Andrew with a smile.

There were a bunch of hunters talking about hunting animals and trade them with coins. Henry couldn't believe there were actually hunters who sustained their livelihood by killing animals. After all, the world was created by Recluse Association.

Andrew answered, "Of course not. You should be able to tell that their wounds are real. They were caused by animals. Come. Sit over here.

Waiter, go and bring my best liquor. I have important guests."

They sat by a table near the window. Henry's attire caused the attention of those hunters. It seemed they had never seen anyone dressed like Henry.

"Yes, Lord Garfield."

The waiter carried two large kegs of ale and several beer mugs. The mug was twenty centimeters tall and ten centimeters in diameter.

One of Andrew's Qi- controlling Realm masters poured the beer for everyone.

Andrew raised his mug and said, "Cheers! Bottoms up, folks!"

Henry did not say anything. He chugged the whole mug of beer down his throat after clinked the mugs.

It was the first time Henry had tried ale. He felt that it wasn't too different from the other beer he used to drink, only sweeter. It was because ale was brewed using a warm fermentation method.

Andrew took a loud hiccup after finishing up the whole mug of beer. He said, "It isn't too peaceful out there recently. Many groups are making troubles."

He then looked at Henry, "How do you think about Alvin League? Don't tell me you know nothing about them."

Henry poured another mug of ale for himself and answered, "I understand Recluse Association only wants world peace. So taking your perspective, Alvin League should be classified as a cult?"

"No, you're wrong."

Andrew shook his head, "They aren't classified as a cult. They are evil. You should know this. Alvin League believes that human being from the older time is better than contemporary man. Their theory was that human being has been losing good traits in its evolution. They have been trying to search for those traits and restore the society into the old one."

Henry looked outside the window and said, "You mean like what you are doing?"

"Those people who live here. Do they put themselves in older times to stimulate the potential hidden inside of them?"

Henry told Andrew what he had speculated. He couldn't understand why Recluse Association would create this small society.

Andrew confirmed Henry's speculation, "You are half right, but what we are doing is totally different from what Alvin League is doing. We are trying to maximally stimulate human being's potentials, and our method is proven effective. In our society, a ten years old child could hunt and make fire, surviving in the wild. A fifteen years old teenager is capable of surviving all by him or herself. And that's our end goal. However, Alvin League is trying to alter human genes."

Andrew took a sip of ale and continued, "Alvin League is known for collecting historical artifacts, hoping to find any trace of human genes, which can be used for altering contemporary human genes. But what they are really doing is to combine human genes with which of other species."

"What?"

Henry was stunned by what he was hearing.

Similar bio- experiments had happened before, and they were condemned by the whole world for their inhumane nature. Henry was particularly disgusted by such experiments.

Seeing the expression on Henry's face, Andrew wasn't surprised. He continued, "Cheetahs' speed can reach 120 km/h. In terms of acceleration, no sports car can beat a cheetah. Peregrine falcons flying speed can reach three hundred and fifteen two km/ h. Dynasties can carry eight hundred and fifty times of their own weight. Mantis shrimps can burst out the force twenty-five hundred times of their weight, which equals the kinetic energy of a .22 bullet. If an adult male processes the same power, he can throw a baseball into the satellite orbit. Those are the sort of thing Alvin League is into. They have been conducting experiments for hundreds of years."

Andrew's words put Henry in disbelief. He paused for a long time. It wasn't the Alvin League's advanced biotechnology that surprised Henry. He was stunned by the fact that the organization could conduct such inhumane experiments and what monsters the experiments could yield.

"Monsters! Alvin League is creating monsters!" Andrew pointed upward and continued, "Secret worlds like ours are not rare on this planet. Clans, Alvin League, and Noble Berserkers all occupied their own. Those reclusive worlds are the product of millions of years' crustal movements. Here, we have rich natural resources. Many countries know the existence of those reclusive worlds, but do you know why none of them is working on exploiting the resources?"

Andrew had opened up a door to a whole new world to Henry. Indeed, he had seen a couple of reclusive worlds before, such as the City of Hell and the underground palace of Yinzhou.

Henry had thought places like these would only be a handful. But what Andrew was trying to tell Henry was that there was a lot more than Henry's knowledge.

The natural resources human beings exploiting were merely something that our modern technology allowed us to reach. It seemed that no one knew what's so deep down under the ground.

But at this moment, Andrew just revealed to Henry that, in fact, leaders of countries had known what's deep down under our feet. For some reason, they just didn't take action.
