The God Virus

Volume 5 - 332 The Private Island

Hearing these terrifying words which were being pronounced with a casual tone, the fatty’s face went ashen-white because looking at those tranquil eyes of Virus, he just knew the guy was being entirely serious. He also understood that beyond a shadow of a doubt, if he didn’t do the things he was demanding him to do, his fate would end up just the same as the tattooed man.

In the end, even though the notion of retaliating and attacking him had crossed his mind, that thought had been extinguished almost as quickly as it had been sparked.

A while passed, finally, determined to swallow the humiliation in exchange for his life, with a trembling voice, he stuttered, "I-I’m... sorry... please, forgive me."

Crack~

"Ahh!"

Then, one of his fists inflated abruptly and just like that, after closing his eyes, he punched his left leg before a breaking sound reverberated the area.

"Good... you can leave now," Showing a merciful smile toward the fatty, Virus dismissed him after a simple nod. Then, turning toward the golden beauty and the stunned Amara beside her, he ordered, "call that FBI agent, Sara Garner, and tell her to rush over here and deal with the body and aftermath."

"Alright."

"Let’s go then." After being done mouthing these simple words, much to the stupefaction of Amara and the other scared people present at the murder scene, acting as if he had just squashed a mere ant, nothing important, turning around, he started walking away.

"Are you sure you wanna come with us right now? I mean... you could just join us in Shanghai since we need to stop somewhere first." Gazing into Amara’s enchanting eyes, Virus exclaimed.

"Yeah, I’m sure! I want to journey with you two." Came Amara’s unfaltering response. A few hours ago, she had been totally stunned out of her mind seeing how he had murdered someone for real, but after the golden beauty had explained the situation about how Virus wouldn’t get into any trouble for his act of killing, oddly, her mood reverted to normal. The golden beauty could swear she even spotted some glimmers of admiration flickering within her eyes next.

"Okay, then... let’s get going."

...

Afterward, driving to the airport, the trio boarded Virus’ private jet as they took off to the boundless sky.

...

"Woah! What a beautiful island! Is this really yours?" Staring out of the jet’s window which was currently flying above the Aldabra atoll, Amara’s eyes dazzled in amazement while she uttered this question.

"Yeah, you like it?" Beaming a half-smile at her face, Virus asked in return.

"I love it! It’s really beautiful... it must’ve been really expensive buying such a big island! I mean, the island itself has the shape of a ring while the middle part is filled with water! So magnificent, I bet this is a world-class natural environment we’re looking at!" She complimented with clear stars shining within her eyes. She was truly impressed by the beauty of nature exhibiting itself before her.

"Yeah, but it wasn’t just expensive." Responded Virus casually. The surface ground of the atoll was indeed in a ring-like shape while the interior section of the ring was filled with shallow water which multiplied the mesmeric quality of the atoll easily. {A/N: You can google ’Aldabra atoll of Seychelles’ if you wanna have a clear image his atoll.}

But what even Amara couldn’t perceive was the fact that deep down beneath that shallow water, Virus had created a gigantic underground world which would’ve undoubtedly stupefied Amara to no ends.

Nevertheless, hearing Amara talk about the atoll being expensive, Virus’ mind flashed back to the time they were just about to buy the island as he recalled the countless problems they had faced while trying to acquire it.

Curious by his vague words, however, Amara inquired, "Oh? Whatever do you mean by ’not just expensive’?"

"Hmm, truthfully... at the time we were about to buy the island, we discovered that it was protected by many national and even international treaties... it had been voted and selected as one of the World Heritage Sites of the planet by the World Heritage Committee already." He clarified patiently, meanwhile, the jet started descending toward the atoll.

"Oh no... that would literally make purchasing the island impossible since let’s not talk about buying, even trespassing would be difficult! But... you clearly did manage to get it in the end... ah, how..." astonished by the end of her sentence, she questioned while looking at Virus’ face in a strange yet fascinated manner.

"Well, we could’ve handled the national laws that the Seychelles government had imposed on the atoll with some effort, however, even then, the World Heritage Committee would’ve protected it and purchasing the island wouldn’t have been plausible... unless... the World Heritage Committee once again voted the atoll to be dropped out of its World Heritage Site status." He explained before adding, "anyway, as I’m sure you can guess the rest... the Island ugly had to somehow persuade and convince a lot of the representatives from 21 state parties in order to put it out of that list... and for that to happen, he had to put tons of effort bribing and even threateni-" suddenly going silent at this point, he said, "since you’re a smart woman, I’m sure you get the gist of the complications we had to go through for all that... I mean, even for the representatives themselves, after putting a location in the list of World Heritage, it was a tough task for them to expel the said location out of the list without justified rationales and other complex issues. Moreover, even the scientific community got in their way, but all in all, in the end, we succeeded."

And indeed, just like Virus stated, a glimmer of comprehension had already been sparkled within Amara’s eyes as she heard Virus pause in the term ’threat’. So, apprehending it was a sensitive topic that was better to avoid entirely, she murmured instead, "That must’ve been a very, very arduous task to accomplish... but that Island ugly guy surprisingly did it, who is he by the way? And why do you call him by that name?" She asked feeling strange about how he was addressing the said person.
