Chapter 130: Making Elijah his brother-in-law didn't seem so bad
"Organize a few rooms as warehouses. Put some unimportant materials from the mall here."
"Alright! Brother-in-law! I'll arrange it right away!"
After Elijah finished giving orders and drove away, Gabriel looked at Xavier.
"Xavier, right? I'm Gabriel, a few years older than you. Just call me Gabriel."
"Gabriel!"
Xavier obediently responded.
"I didn't see you yesterday. Were you brought back by Brother-in-law?"
Xavier explained about his injury and treatment.
Upon hearing that Xavier's sister was among the group from yesterday and had stayed on the island, Gabriel understood.
He put his arm around Xavier's shoulder and said familiarly, "So you're Brother-in-law's nephew. Then we're like brothers. Come on, let me arrange a nice room for you and show you around the area!"
"Elijah is... not my brother-in-law!" Xavier protested.
"Hey, it's just a matter of time! Let me tell you, women who settle on that island sooner or later belong to Brother-in-law!"
Gabriel patted his shoulder.
"What?" Although Xavier had suspected before, confirming it still left him incredulous. Several beautiful women...
"Kid, let me remind you, don't mess with the women on the island!" Gabriel warned, seeing Xavier's stunned expression.
"Are you just going to watch your sister being bullied by him?"
Xavier couldn't believe it.
"Well, so what? You're too young and inexperienced. Before the apocalypse, wealthy and powerful people had plenty of mistresses privately! There was this guy I knew who used the funds from a real estate project to build a building, then he housed a bunch of mistresses there, each with her own suite.
He would come home like he was returning to a palace, flipping through cards to decide which room to go to! Before the apocalypse, even people with capability did this, let alone now! Those with power are the bosses! Our brother-in-law not only has great power but also controls the entire island, collecting countless resources so we never have to worry about food and drink.
So what if he has a few more women? Moreover, Brother-in-law even has a method to awaken abilities!"
Gabriel's words shattered Xavier's worldview. Then hearing that Elijah had a method to awaken abilities, his eyes widened even more.
"What? Awakening abilities?"
Xavier felt his heart pounding rapidly.
If he had abilities, why would he let a fish bite him?
His sister had to seek help from others, resulting in her falling into Elijah's hands, all for his treatment... Wait, didn't his sister seem unharmed?
She even seemed quite happy? Xavier recalled his sister's expression today.
It seemed like the first time he'd seen her so happy since the apocalypse!
"Yeah, my sister's ability was awakened with Brother-in-law's help!" Gabriel boasted, as if he himself had awakened.
Was Elijah's "help" really genuine? Xavier wanted to curse but held back. He felt a slight shift in his mindset!
"Let me tell you, in this apocalypse, having no ability is not enough," Gabriel continued. "Zombies are everywhere, and without abilities, you'll be eaten alive in minutes! But with awakened abilities, it's different. Not only can you defend yourself, but you know why?"
"Why?" Xavier asked, puzzled. Although his sister's perception ability was somewhat mysterious, her physique was inferior to his own, and she could only run away from zombies. That's why he was genuinely curious.
"Hehe, ordinary auxiliary abilities are easy to fail against zombies. But Brother-in-law has a special method to rapidly improve the physique of those awakened, making their strength grow rapidly, becoming superhumans without any shortcomings!"
No wonder those women all had abilities, and they all seemed powerful!
Jacob and his group deserved their deaths!
Xavier suddenly realized, feeling even more shaken.
"Once you have abilities, once you have strength, don't you want to enjoy more women? Oh, by the way! Look at your age, you're still a rookie, haven't tasted the flavor of women yet!"
Xavier blushed at being described as such, but couldn't refute it.
He was indeed a novice. However, Gabriel's description made him look at Emily's tempting figure beside him, and his inner resistance suddenly collapsed, giving rise to a thought.
Making Elijah his brother-in-law didn't seem so bad?
"Smack!" Xavier was interrupted by a slap on the head, halting his thoughts.
Gabriel said impatiently, "What are you thinking? She's my woman! You little rookie, let me tell you, if you want women, find your own, don't touch the ones on the island, especially not my woman!"
Emily turned to look at Xavier, a hint of teasing in her eyes.
Caught red-handed, Xavier blushed and couldn't speak.
Gabriel didn't embarrass him further, instead putting his arm around his shoulder.
"Brother, as someone who's been there, let me give you some advice. They say youth is wasted on the young! When you have the chance, I'll find you someone experienced so you can experience and learn, hehe..."
Elijah and the others arrived at the mall smoothly, everything was as usual.
Lily and the rest continued to transport supplies, while Elijah summoned four dormant zombies and fed each of them a corpse core.
If everything went as expected, these four zombies would awaken today.
He would then have to consider giving up two of them to make room for the contracts with Sophia and Xavier.
"It seems like I need to hurry up and advance to Tier 3!" Elijah hadn't expected that the first to reach the limit would be his Seed of Consciousness contract quota.
Today, because of Sophia's matter, Elijah was delayed a bit, so after dealing with the zombies, he also started to hurry up with transporting the supplies.
He made several trips back and forth in the morning, and time quickly passed!
By noon, Elijah was thinking about the magical fish and didn't stay at the mall. Instead, he went back to the island with the others.
As soon as they unloaded the supplies in the villa, they smelled the fragrant aroma of food, especially the fresh scent of the fish filled the room, making them unable to help but salivate.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Lily couldn't wait and rushed into the kitchen as soon as she smelled it. Hannah and Fiona also couldn't help but peek inside.
"Why does this fish smell so good?" Fiona had eaten a lot of delicacies from both land and sea, but none were as enticing as this fish.
"Because this fish is extraordinary!"
Elijah chuckled, feeling even more certain that this fish was the delicacy he had sold for a high price in his previous life.
No, it was more appropriate to call it the Spirit Fish now.
But he wondered if it had any magical effects. That needed to be tested!
Soon, the meal was served.
