The Villain's Little Cat

116 Red and Blue Gems

“That’s good.” Kyle nodded. He was satisfied as long as they could protect his privacy and didn’t try to find out too much. He didn’t want to be their lab rat.

Dr. Dall smiled bitterly. He felt that the worst decision he made in his entire life was to agree to General Ryan to be his family’s private doctor. But recalling that his study back then was funded by General Ryan, he sighed deeply.

He was not an ungrateful person and aside from dealing from Kyle’s occasional annoying whim, there was nothing strange that this family asked him to do.

Soon, they reached the laboratory.

“Meow?”

Kate looked around the room curiously and Kyle placed her on top of an empty table. There was a mirror in front of them where they could see a room with only one bed inside plus several equipment such as heart rate detector, pulse rate detector, and so on.

“We’ve prepared everything inside.” One of the researchers looked at Kyle and showed the box contained the red and blue gems. “These are the two gems you asked, can you show it to us?”

“Alright, but follow the agreement that you’ve made.”

“We will.” These researchers smiled bitterly. Even though they could eventually make the conjecture about how much improvement these gems would give, but they definitely couldn’t tell the process to outsider.

.....

The exact data had to be kept secret forever.

“What’s your rank right now?”

“Rank 4 with 2 minor advancements.”

The researchers were astonished when they heard his words. However, they nodded and kept a record. They also asked Kyle to show his power a bit inside the training room at the side where they measured Kyle’s ability with some strange equipment.

Kate watched everything and blinked her eyes.

She didn’t really have any interest in these experiments. They just made her remember the hospital that she frequently visited back then.

Soon, the first test was over and Kyle walked into the room. The blue gem had been handed to Kate to take care because it would be given to Dylan later while Kyle entered the room and slashed his own hand and put the gem on top of his wound.

It melted inside.

“So that’s how to use the gems!”

The researchers were astonished. Not a single one of them dared to do the same as Kyle because they didn’t know what these gems contained. If they dared to act rashly, they might end up losing their lives.

Soon, Kyle could feel that his body’s temperature was rising so highly. Just like the lightning, the fire energy was boiling and rampaging in his body. He felt a bit helpless as he thought about how his elements’ abilities were indeed more on the offensive side rather than calm like Kate.

With the experience from the previous gem, Kyle was calmer as he absorbed the energy into his body.

The process took several hours. In the meantime, Dylan appeared and Kate gave him the gems, which he felt the strong connection and felt satisfied. Jake also appeared to watch the process because he was curious.

The heartbeat increased rapidly, but it was still within the normal range.

The temperature of his body was also increasing as his skin turned red, but it could be seen that Kyle was still breathing normally.

The researchers were interested.

The state lasted for several hours before the temperature began to decrease and the heartbeat also returned to normal. The researchers could guess that it meant that Kyle would soon finish.

As they expected, Kyle soon finished.

“How is it?” Jake asked when Kyle came out.

“I feel stronger.” Kyle passed a look at Jake and then nodded at the researchers. They tried to test his power and it was estimated that he had advanced 2 minor ranks with the help of the gem. Considering the increase of his ability, that was a huge increase.

“My turn.” Dylan then took the blue gem and being tested. He was only rank 4 at first, so the researchers also adjusted the data and began to take it from the very beginning once again.

The water element and ice elements were different from Kyle’s fire element. They were cold and gentle in nature. Aside from Dylan’s body temperature dropping so low that it was astonishing, his heartbeat only increased slightly.

After it was over, Dylan came out and tested.

They estimated that he also increased by two minor ranks because the strength was close to what Kyle could do before he took the gem.

Anyway, that was the end of it.

“Tsk, the next time, we should take a mission that will allow me to have the gems too!” Jake was utterly jealous. He was now the weakest among the three of them, which meant that he would have a lot to catch up with.

Kyle glanced at Jake and nodded. “Alright, I’ll try to search for mission that’s close to a mine.”

“Great!” Jake was excited.

If he could also obtain the gem, it would mean that his fighting power would skyrocket. Who didn’t want to grow stronger? He definitely wanted to grow stronger because it would mean that he would be able to protect himself better.

“For now, have you finished absorbing those crystals?”

“Not yet, but I should be able to finish soon...” Jake was embarrassed. He knew that he would have to absorb those crystals, but his absorption rate was incredibly slow, so he often got bored.

“I see.”

“Oh right, my girlfriend is here and will enter the city soon. I better go and greet her along with her parents.” Jake slapped his forehead. He received message from her this morning, telling him that she was about to reach City B.

Kyle glanced at Jake. “I thought that she’s in City C.”

“She told me that City C is in turmoil ever since the second red rain and there were too many giant mutated animals that were roaming around. Since that was the case, she and her family members decided to head over to City B. We can reunite and she could definitely stay here.” Jake grinned happily.

Kyle nodded and patted Jake’s shoulder. “Make sure to treat her well.”

“Hey! Since she’s here, she can be our scout and translator.” Jake looked at Kyle meaningfully.

“Meow?”

Kyle paused for a moment and then recalled something. “I see, your girlfriend also kept a cat, right? Did the cat fuse with her?”

“Yep. She didn’t have any cat’s thought or something like that, but she has cat ears. She looks so cute right now.” Jake giggled when he thought of his girlfriend’s appearance. When she showed it to him, he nearly wanted to take out his car and drove over to City C just to see her.

It was just unfortunate that he couldn’t do that.

Dylan looked at Jake and frowned. He felt that he couldn’t understand why Jake would like if his girlfriend had cat ears so much. For him, there was no point in seeing these girls having additional cat ears.

Kyle patted Dylan’s shoulder. “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”

Dylan nodded. “I know.”

“And it’s also Jake’s fetish that he liked to see his girlfriend in cute suits.” Kyle added.

“Meow?”

Kate still remembered hearing her male friends were discussing with each other about going to the maid café because they waitress there would be wearing cute cat maid dress. The price of the food was somewhat expensive, but the real reason why they wanted to go there was to see these waitresses.

As for why she knew...

It was just because she accidentally overheard it once.

With so many male students in her course, she often heard strange things that these boys discussed. It was to the point that Kate even wondered why the mind of boys and girls were so different.

“Hey! I can hear you!” Jake shouted loudly from behind. “I swear, if you two have girlfriend, I’m sure you’ll like it to see them act cute in front of you!”

Kyle rolled his eyes.

Dylan passed a look at Jake and then walked out. He had no interest to stay with this annoying friend of his.

“Just see!” Jake stormed off to go pick up his girlfriend. Anyway, he definitely had to see her appearance directly. The image from video calls alone were not enough!

At the back, General Ryan watched Kyle being indifferent and laughed internally. ‘Young man, you better not set up a flag for yourself.’

“Little Kitty, let’s head over to Dr. Dall’s lab.”

“Meow?”

Kate was confused, but Kyle didn’t bother explaining and directly walked away. He didn’t want to entertain Jake’s nonsense any longer. Anyway, there was indeed something that he wanted to confirm.
