Chapter 255 Powers and Knowledge
"Okay, is there anything else I need to know about the true world history?" Rudy asked while looking at Nyxia's body.N♡vεlB¡n: Transforming Moments into Memories.
For some reason, his eyes couldn't stop looking at her beautiful body as though they were locked.
"If I tell you everything I know, it would take hundreds of years. But tell me, what do you want to know?"
"Well, you told me all that because of the zombie apocalypse. But now that you explained to me the history, I get what you are talking about. According to you, the zombie apocalypse was yet another ritual."
"Indeed."
"But..." Rudy raised his hand in the air and looked at his palm before saying, "I think you are wrong. The super-gene experiment does exist. I can guarantee you that."
"Did you read that somewhere too?" Nyxia scoffed softly.
"No." Rudy's gaze finally moved and looked into Nyxia's eyes. "I was part of that super-gene experiment."
"Oh..." Nyxia lowered her gaze and asked, "Did you receive powers after that?"
"I am not sure. At first, I believed that was impossible since it couldn't grant the powers I had, no matter how advanced the gene experiment was. But now that you said the powers belonged to the other races, maybe I did become a superhuman after the experiment."
Rudy played with the drop of the water on his fingertip, which rolled from his palm, wrist, and between his finger, but he didn't let the drop fall from his hand.
Nyxia glanced at Rudy from the corner of her eyes and uttered, "There is a way to find that out."
Rudy stared at Nyxia with a straight face, but he soon smirked viciously at her, which made Nyxia anxious.
She gulped nervously and asked, "What's with that evil look?
"I feel thrilled when I realize that peoples' lives are at my mercy. I feel... evil?" he wondered.
"That's not something you should admit like this..."
"No, no. You seem to misunderstand something. Just because I think of something or want to do something doesn't mean I would do it. I have no reason to do that. Why would I do that?" he scoffed jokingly.
Nyxia raised her brow and asked, "What if you have a reason?
"I would do it without thinking twice," Rudy answered instantly.
"..."
After seeing the worrisome look on Nyxia's face, Rudy let out a weary sigh and uttered, "Let me ask you something."
"What is the difference between a hero and a villain?" he asked.
"There are many differences. I possibly can't state all of them," Nyxia responded.
"For me, there is only one difference."
"Hmm?" Nyxia raised her brow with a curious and amused look on her face. "And that is?"
