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 firece 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 tworge 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 hup 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 ssified as a cult?"
"No, you''re wrong."
Andrew shook his head, "They aren''t ssified 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 stimte the potential hidden
inside of them?"
Henry told Andrew what he had spected. He couldn''t understand why Recluse Association would
create this small society.
Andrew confirmed Henry''s spection, "You are half right, but what we are doing is totally different
from what Alvin League is doing. We are trying to maximally stimte 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 tobine human genes with which of other species."

"What?"
Henry was stunned by what he was hearing.
Simr bio- experiments had happened before, and they were condemned by the whole world for
their inhumane nature. Henry was particrly 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 eleration, 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 kic 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. ns, Alvin League, and Noble Berserkers all upied
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 pce of Yinzhou.
Henry had thought ces 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.
