Chapter Seventy-four Some things will never change
Time is flying like a white horse crossing a gap.
It's been half a year since Lin Xiao left, and in that time, Andrew hasn't done anything stupid again because of the money Lin Xiao left behind. His mother has also received good treatment and her condition has improved.
Also because of this, the scene where Andrew's father beats him and leads to Andrew fighting back did not occur, and the tragic result of Steve being struck by lightning did not happen either.
Three people are still living well, but Andrew's personality has undergone some distortion, perhaps the power awakened the dark side of his heart. As time passed, Andrew's power grew stronger and he became increasingly indifferent to ordinary human life.
Two months ago, Andrew almost killed a man and was lucky to be rescued by Matt and others from the water, otherwise he would have drowned. After that, Matt set down several rules like in the movie.
For two months, the three of them followed these rules, but in school, Andrew was merciless when teaching a lesson to those classmates who had bullied him before. Although he was often blamed by Matt for this, since the people Andrew beat up were all those who had bullied him in the past, Matt didn't scold him too much.
Of course, this could also be because Matt recently hooked up with that Casey, so he's in a better mood.
As for Steve, he was still the most popular figure in school, and apart from hanging out with Andrew and Matt, he spent all his time striving for his own future.
Three people have been through a lot in the past six months, but for now, they are still at peace with each other. They often call Lin Xiao to tell him some interesting things, and Lin Xiao will also share some fun stories that happened during his trip, letting them share their happiness too.
In fact, Lin Xiao has flown all over the UK in the past six months. The harvest of the past six months can also be said to be quite good. In terms of boundary power, he has increased by 30 points and two levels of small thousand boundary power. In terms of strength, the past six months of practicing ten hours a day without fail have allowed him to successfully break through to become a first-class third-stage martial artist, and is now advancing towards becoming a second-class martial artist.
Compared to the breakthrough in Wan Jie Secret, the greatest progress was still in his mental power. Lin Xiao almost spent 10 hours every day using his mental power, and after half a year, his mental power successfully broke through to level 3. His skill combat power directly left his physical combat power behind, occupying first place with a score of 23 points.
With Lin Xiao's current ability, lifting objects of around 200 tons with his mind is no longer a problem. He had recently tried to lift 13 yachts in a harbor, of course, it was at night and no one saw it, the yachts only left the water surface by about half a meter. At that time, Lin Xiao just wanted to try his own limits.
After half a year of traveling extensively throughout the UK, Lin Xiao now plans to leave the UK and visit other European countries.
The boundary of the first-level Small Thousand Worlds is obviously much stronger than that of the previous small world. Just one British guy can find so many by carefully searching, which makes Lin Xiao look forward to the next harvest very much.
Three months passed again, and on this day Lin Xiao was strolling through a not-so-small jewelry store in Kassel, Germany when his phone suddenly rang.
"Excuse me." Lin Xiao greeted the manager beside him in fluent German and then picked up his phone and walked to one side.
The call display showed it was Matt calling.
"Hey! Matt, how have you been lately?"
"Oh no! It's absolutely terrible." Matt's tone on the other end of the phone sounded heavy with worry.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Xiao asked in confusion.
Logically speaking, he left Andrew a sum of money, so he shouldn't have caused that incident again, but what could have bothered Matt so much?
"It's Andrew, he's been getting more and more aggressive lately, the other day he almost killed a few young punks." Matt's tone was full of worry and helplessness, apparently he didn't know what to do either.
"Steve and I couldn't persuade him, yesterday the three of us even had a fight, Andrew is very strong, neither Steve nor I can be his opponent," Matt said.
"Do you need me to come back and help?" Lin Xiao said with a frown.
Going back is simple, Germany is only this distance from the UK, even if you fly by willpower, one night is enough.
"This isn't necessary, I just want you to call Andrew and advise him, I'm afraid if he continues like this something will really happen." Matt is after all Andrew's cousin, he said that neither he nor Steve are a match for Andrew, in fact one of the reasons is because they don't want to go all out against Andrew, but Andrew doesn't have such concerns.
Of course, among the three, Andrew's psychic power is undoubtedly the strongest. The main reason is that he uses his psychic powers most frequently, while Steve and Matt use them much less often. As time goes on, the gap between Andrew and the other two naturally widens.
"Alright, I'll give Andrew a call later and talk some sense into him," Lin Xiao said.
"That's good. Last time you left Andrew that money, he was very grateful to you. I think he will be willing to listen to your advice."
The two of them chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.
Matt still had to worry about Andrew's affairs, and Lin Xiao also had to continue shopping at the jewelry store.
After walking around in a circle, Lin Xiao just bought a ring and left.
After leaving the jewelry store, Lin Xiao took out his mobile phone and dialed Andrew's number. The phone rang with a series of beeps, and after about five or six rings, Andrew finally picked up.
"Hello! Is it Lin?" came Andrew's slightly hoarse voice from the other end of the phone.
"It's me, Andrew. How have you been lately?" Lin Xiao didn't start by persuading anything, but was asking about Andrew's recent situation in a very normal way.
"It's okay, my mother's condition has improved a lot, thanks to the money you left last time." Andrew's tone was also filled with deep affection when mentioning his mother.
"That's good, as long as I can help you. You don't have to keep thanking me all the time. If there's not enough money, just let me know, don't keep things bottled up inside. Remember? We're friends."
"Ah, we're friends." Andrew's voice came with a hint of a smile.
After a few words, Lin Xiao also brought the topic to the main issue. He asked: "Andrew, I heard from Matt that you guys had a fight yesterday, can you tell me why?"
Why Lin Xiao knew it all along but still had to ask Andrew what he thought in his heart.
"They are too stubborn, we are no longer ordinary people, but their mentality has not changed yet, we should show our strength!" Andrew said with some excitement.
"Top predator?" Lin Xiao thought silently in his heart.
