Evolution to GOD - Chapter 145

As soon as I took out the body of that creature from the inventory, the owner started shivering and his eyes stared at the body with excitement.

My brows were raised when I saw that he grabbed the body from me while a teardrop formed at the corner of his eyes.

I turned around to see that Tanya and Deliah had confused expressions on their faces while Alexandra also stared at the body in disbelief before she turned to look at me.

“Where did you hunt that animal?”

“In the forest,” I replied while my gaze turned back to the owner, who was still shivering.

His reaction really surprised me. I didn’t know that he would react this way as if he was meeting his dead lover.

Silence ensued in the room as everyone waited for the owner to calm down. Even Deliah had a look of disbelief on her face as she stared at the owner.

After some time, he took a deep breath as he looked at me.

“Do you know which animal is this?”

I shook my head. “I don’t know. But I know that this is one of the rarest animals in the world. Last time, one chef in the facility told me that food prepared from the meat of this animal is the delicacy in this world.”

The owner nodded. “By the way, my name is Jeff. And whoever told that was a dumbass fool. Even though this animal is the rarest delicacy. It has a certain useful property. Whoever eats the meat of this animal would grow a lot faster compared to others.”

My eyes went wide when I heard his words, as I remembered my days in the jungle where I used to have this meat daily. I gulped my saliva unconsciously, but my body shook as Alexandra Tapped me on my shoulders.

I turned around as my lost, wide eyes stared at Alexandra. “What?”

“Don’t tell me you only ate the meat of this animal when you were in the jungle?” Her voice reached my ears as I nodded and my eyes stared back at the body of the dead animal.

“So that is the reason you grew a lot in a short amount of time,” Tanya’s voice reached my ears, but my eyes were fixed on the dead body of the sheep-like animal.

My gaze turned to look at Jeff, who was staring at me curiously as I asked, “What’s this animal called?”

“Korash,”

“Korash?” My brows furrowed when I heard his words as many thoughts swirled into my mind. But suddenly Eve’s voice resounded.

“Even though this animal has the property of helping anyone grow stronger but yours is a unique case. You already consumed that blood and this meat has just sped up the process of assimilation. That is the reason you grew a lot stronger.”

I nodded my head slightly when I heard her words and turned to look at Jeff. “I didn’t know about this. But if they are this special, then you would have captured many of these, right?”

But Jeff shook his head. “What you are saying is true, but there is a curious case about this animal. We cannot farm it and it is very rare to spot these animals. You were lucky that you ate so much meat.”

I nodded when I heard his words, but suddenly Tanya grabbed my hands. “Do you have more of these?”

I was surprised at her request but when I saw her big eyes which were looking at me expectedly; I nodded and took out two more bodies of Korash.

A smile bloomed on Tanya’s face when she saw me taking out more bodies, but Jeff’s voice reached my ears.

“How many of them you have hunted?”

My brows furrowed when I heard his words, as I could feel that every eye was fixed on me.

My head shook as a disappointed expression appeared on my face. “I hunted many, but I ate everything. They were so delicious that I couldn’t stop myself from eating them.”

I could see that everyone had a disappointed expression on their faces but I couldn’t do anything. Even though I said those words, there are some more that are lying in my inventory. I wanted to save that for the future. Many people in this world deserve to eat this meat, especially Olivia.

“I can’t do anything about that but I was really surprised that there were a lot of these animals when I hunted these animals.”

And as soon as I said these words, Jeff grabbed my hands. “Are you saying the truth?”

My brows furrowed, but I nodded my head.

He had a surprised expression on his face but then a sigh escaped his lips, “You are really lucky to have these animals as your food in the forest. But could you tell me where you found the Korash”

But as soon as I heard his words, the image of the waterfall flashed in my mind and my heart ached when I remembered the night with Isabella.

I shook my head. “I found them near a waterfall, but I don’t know the location of that place,”

“What waterfall?” But suddenly Alexandra’s voice reached my ears.

A frown formed on my face as I looked at her. “You don’t know about the waterfall?”

But as soon as she heard my words, she shook her head, “We don’t have any waterfall in the Jungle,”

My heart thumped when I heard her voice as my widened eyes stared at her. ” What did you say?”

“There is no waterfall in the Jungle,” Alexandra said as her curious eyes stared at me.

“Then what about these animals? I found them near the waterfall”

She shook her head. “You don’t have to be worried about that but consider yourself lucky that you found that place”

“Why?” I asked as my gaze fixed on her.

“This world is a mystery and there are many places in this world that the lucky ones could find. Consider yourself lucky that you have found the paradise of Korash,”

I was stunned when I heard her words, but then I remembered that the village was hidden from these people. Maybe what I saw was the wonder of this world and I was truly lucky to have found that place,”

I shook my head. “Maybe what you said is true. Anyway, let’s eat this delicacy. You should remember that I haven’t eaten my stomach full for so many days.”

Everyone nodded and the happy Jeff carried three bodies of the Korash and went to the kitchen to prepare the food.

My gaze was fixed on him but suddenly Tanya’s voice reached my ears, “You are really lucky,”

I turned around to see that Tanya has a different smile on her face as she dragged Deliah to sit on a table.

My gaze was fixed on her a moment before I found another table as I sat with Alexandra.

“You became so close to her?” As soon as I sat, Alexandra’s voice reached my ears.

I turned around to see that Alexandra had a slight smile on her face.

“Why do you think that?” I asked her curiously.

Her eyes shifted to Tanya. “You don’t know, but there aren’t many people in this world who are close to her. Especially considering her past, she is very cold to others except a few.”

I nodded, but her voice reached me again.

“She is right. You are very lucky to have these people around you. But it’s my request. Cherish what you have, otherwise you will regret it when you lose them,”

I saw that she has the look of reminiscence on her face as her lost eyes stared at nothingness. I was surprised for a moment before patting her soft hands.

“I know that. You all people are very special to me. Especially the way you have treated me.”

A mocking laugh escaped my lips. “I arrived at these words as a lonely monkey who didn’t even know what will happen to me. Luckily, I got evolved and came to the city. I felt insecure, as I didn’t have anybody with me. The Laugh and smile you have seen in the past were all facades. I was just trying to escape the insecurity I felt in this world. But Luckily I found you people who really cared for me. Yes, I am lucky that you guys are with me.”

But she quickly covered my mouth. “Say nothing. I don’t deserve that praise. When I met you, I saw that you had the potential to be an excellent candidate for the forces. I only saw you as a tool that will be spent on this planet. But slowly and steadily, my views about you changed, and I found myself really fond of you. Do you remember the time when you said that you will make me your woman? I really wanted to laugh that day. But I never would have thought that I would develop a soft corner for you. That is the reason I really don’t deserve your praise.”

I could see that her watery eyes stared at me when she said those words. I shook my head and patted her cheeks. “What I said was true. You are special to me.”
