The Villain's Little Cat

Chapter 162

162 Promise

After that, Kate explained about what his progress and journey for the past two months. Of course, it was only the simplified version and she didn’t tell her parents that she could actually do reverse healing, making her abilities as the worse killing weapon possible in the entire world.

She didn’t want to tell them that.

How could she?

That their daughter actually holds a weapon that could possibly destroy the entire world if she willed it.

She didn’t want to.

In her parents’ eyes, she would always be their little daughter whom they loved. In that situation, she really couldn’t bring herself to tell them that her ability was actually far off the charts. They will be in danger if they knew what their daughter could actually do.

Her parents were also telling her many things that she had to pay attention to. From eating, sleeping, and many others. Thinking about the things that she had broken all these times... *cough* Kate felt a bit embarrassed.

After being exhorted by her parents, Kate was finally being let go. She didn’t dare to tell her parents that she had actually forgot how to maintain her meal, oh well, she better didn’t tell them her story of sneaking some snacks.

That would be too embarrassing.

.....

And her parents would be reprimanding her more for eating unhealthy snack even though they had told her not to.

Swish!

Putting down the earth barrier, Kate ran towards Kyle again. Her space barrier has been broken at this time, so they could also see that some people were looking in their direction with curiosity.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t hear what they were talking about at all.

“That child is really reckless.” Kate’s Mother sighed. “If only I had known about it in advance, I would have long tried to guard her first.”

“Who would be able to imagine things will turn this way?” Kate’s Father was calmer. “You go back first. I’m going to have some talk.”

“But...”

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

Kate’s Mother pursed her lips. She sneaked a glance at Kyle and sighed deeply. This child, she always liked to worry her parents. Even though she didn’t know much about Kyle, she could guess that he was not an ordinary person.

Their family might not be able to compare to them in the slightest bit.

But who made Kate so promising that she practically became the actual strongest person in the nation? It would be hard for her not to attract attention and they really needed someone who could truly protect her and not like them.

“Rest first, Sweetheart?”

“Fine.”

Kate’s Father watched as the little girl ran to Kyle and being lifted by him. His action was so familiar as if this had been done countless times. And from this distance, he could see that his little girl was laughing after saying something to Kyle.

He felt sour.

Time quietly ticked.

The tent was already prepared and Kate changed to her cat form again as she entered the tent. Kyle patted her pillow to let her rest.

“You should sleep earlier. Aren’t you sleepy after absorbing so much before?”

“Meow.”

Kate protested. Though, she had to admit that it was indeed more comfortable for her to sleep rather than continuing to stay awake. She looked at Kyle and meowed sweetly before curling up on her bed and fell asleep.

Kyle smiled and then walked out. The others were in their separate tent and only Dylan was standing to guard. Even if they were here, they still maintained the habit of having someone guarding them from time to time. After all, they didn’t know whether they could fully trust the people in this place yet or not.

Besides, there might be a lot of giant mutated animals roaming outside that could attack them at any time. If things were to turn for the worse, some flying giant mutated animals could come.

They had to be prepared at any time.

“Kyle.”

“What is it, Dylan?”

“She’s your student.”

It was not a question but a statement.

Dylan looked at Kyle deeply. When he saw that Kyle let the little girl go, the others were still joking about other things, but he saw very clearly that the little girl was walking towards that professor.

Others didn’t know.

But he knew very well because he was the one who helped Kyle to do research and keep this matter in his memory. That professor is the father of the missing student during the first red rain.

That student went missing while she was holding Little Kitty.

Even though they had heard that halves were usually the animals who disappeared and then they would have some animal’s trait such as ear, tail, arm, or even legs, there was one more possibility.

The human completely merged with the animal and took the form of the animal completely.

This was just a hypothesis.

After all, there were not many research yet and many people were not inclined to believe this when they saw the fate of those giant mutated animals out there. However, Dylan still keep this small possibility.

And seeing the little girl’s interaction and then the earth wall they formed later, he came to this conjecture.

The missing student and Little Kitty directly fused, retaining humans’ soul with some childish characteristic from the little cat and took the form of the cat. But as she evolved and perhaps it was also related to that different gem, she slowly returned to her human’s form.

At this moment, she was nothing more than a little kid, but inside her is the soul of an adult.

Dylan was still staring at Kyle, waiting for his answer.

Kyle looked at Dylan and the corner of his lips raised slightly. “Yes.”

He had no intention to hide this matter from Dylan. Knowing Dylan’s intelligence which was far different from Jake’s intelligence, Kyle felt that he would have realized it first. Only the foolish little cat could think that she could still hide it at this point.

Her intelligence, knowledge, and way of thinking was not something a little kid could possibly possess. Instead, it was something an adult who had matured with time could have. But her action still faintly possessed the trait of a little girl who hadn’t grown up yet.

Thus, it could be said that she’s both Kate and Little Kitty.

And they wouldn’t know which memory was more prominent unless they asked her directly, which was something that couldn’t be possible.

Dylan looked at Kyle and narrowed his eyes. “You like her.”

“She’s my little cat, why can’t I like her.”

“As lover.”

Kyle didn’t speak for a long time. Instead, he was looking at Dylan. Usually Dylan would not speak so much, but this time, Dylan seemed to be determined to talk about this matter to him.

After a moment of silence, Kyle spoke again.

“Yes.”

“You don’t remember her appearance.” Dylan looked at Kyle. “Nor her previous experience.”

“I know.” Kyle would not say that he knew this student of his well. He couldn’t even remember her well until he thought that Little Kitty should be his student. At that time, he felt that the student would just be passerby in his life.

He would not be a hypocrite and said that he had liked that young woman before. He only started to like her when she turned into his cat and accompanied him everywhere. Even though he didn’t know how she looked like or how she was supposed to look like as human, he didn’t want to let her go.

Dylan narrowed his eyes. “It wouldn’t be easy.”

“I’ll protect her.”

“Your position.”

Kyle knew how many people didn’t like him and hated him. Now that the world had changed, who could guarantee for certain that these people wouldn’t resort to some underhand tactics?

They would definitely chase after his weakness.

And there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t use unsaid matter to provoke and hurt him.

“She’s strong and I’ll never let her be wronged. You don’t have to worry so much about those people. I’ll deal with them.” Kyle took a deep breath.

The revenge that hadn’t been finished before, he would take the matter into his own hand and finished everything this time. There wouldn’t be any other chance for them to dance in front of him and mocked him right in front of his face anymore.

Dylan looked at Kyle and nodded. “I’ll stand by your side.”

“Thank you.” Kyle smiled.

Dylan waved his hand and said nothing else.

Kyle chuckled and then walked in the direction of the research institute. By this time, there was a bench that had been repaired and Kate’s Father was sitting there. It seemed that Kate’s Father was smarter than his daughter and knew that he would definitely come to see him after Kate let him knew that his daughter is still alive.

Taking a deep breath, Kyle walked closer.
