Kapitel 93: Evidence

The elder who heard Kalina's question shook his head in disappointment. He couldn't understand her reasoning. 

Greed! Was it greed when his life depended on it? Without them, he would have died. Does his life hold no value? Why should he put the welfare of others over his? 

"Kalina, you have yet to see the world. You have yet to see the real face of humanity. And it is not a pretty one. Your sheltered life may have protected you for now. But, there will soon come a day when you understand me." The elder stated in a grim and monotonous tone. 

He continued while pointing out her naivety. 

"I had to bow down before a greater power to live longer. One day, someone will come to you, promising to give you what you desperately want. Come to me after rejecting that offer. You can judge me after that."
