The Villain's Little Cat

After all, most of them were insects.

She would never want to eat their meat...

So, Kate would only keep some of them that were killed cleanly. It was definitely not her or Kyle’s attack because their attack’s lethality was simply off the charts. They would cause the giant mutated animals to rot or to turn into ashes.

It was indeed their absolute weakness.

They had to figure out a way to control their strength better in the future so that they would be able to catch these giant mutated animals and not just killing them. Though, for now, it was enough to kill these giant mutated animals.

Kate looked into the distance and sighed deeply. Lucy and Lucas were separated midway. Well, they were using motorcycles and headed to other direction, so Kate estimated that they were going to pick up their parents.

Anyway, Kate believed that the of them will be fine.

They might see each other again in the future.

.....

“Marc, right?” Kyle glanced at Marc. “I would like to talk with you.”

Marc had finished eating and felt full. Hearing Kyle’s words he was a bit startled but he nodded and followed Kyle.

It seemed that they wanted to make the conversation private.

In fact, even if they were talking there, no one would be able to listen to them as long as Kate made a space barrier. This barrier would block everything, including sound. This was something that Kate only knew after Lotte and Jake told their experience.

Anyway, it was a very useful defensive ability.

“What are they talking about?” Hailey asked, turning to look at the others.

“I don’t know.” Jake shrugged. “Anyway, that one tent is for you and Lotte. There are only two girls, so you share the same tent, got it?”

“But I...”

“Got it?”

Hearing the stern tone from Dylan, who repeated Jake’s question, Hailey’s body trembled. She could sense that her cousin was indeed not treating her well and even didn’t care to cover this up this time.

In the past, they would maintain a superficial appearance that the two of them were having good relationship with each other.

But there was none this time.

It was clear that Dylan was tired of keeping up the fa?ade and decided that it would be better for them not to be close. Not even at the surface.

“Got it.” Hailey unwillingly back down.

Dylan stood up and glanced at Jake. “You first.”

Jake was speechless but he nodded. “Alright, I’ll guard first. Lotte, you can rest for today. I’m sure that you’re very tired after the long battle and journey today. Just leave it to your boyfriend to keep guard today!”

“Glib tongue.” Lotte rolled her eyes. But she knew that Jake was also telling her to be on guard against Hailey.

Hailey might be an ordinary person without any ability, but it didn’t mean that an ordinary person was incapable of doing anything. There were many weapons that they had made and used even before they awakened their ability. Besides, if these ordinary people caught them off guard, could they guarantee that they reacted in time?

There were too many uncertain things.

In fact, Jake didn’t want to let Lotte sleep with Hailey, but Kyle told him to have Lotte keep watch on Hailey. Since she’s the only girl in their group, Jake could only let her be the one to do it.

He didn’t’ really like it, though.

“Be careful,” Jake added in a low voice.

“Trust me.” Lotte grinned.

As they entered the tent, Lotte simply prepared several seeds and placed it right on her bed. It might be uncomfortable to sleep with these seeds around, but it was also the one that she could use the fastest when someone wanted to attack her.

And after reaching rank 4, Lotte realized that her sensitivity and awareness were very high. The moment she felt danger, she would wake up naturally and entered the state of battle the very next moment.

This might have been caused by the fact that she had been facing this apocalypse for some time, but it didn’t change the fact that she also had military training.

This Hailey wouldn’t be able to do anything in front of her.

“Uh...”

The moment Hailey stepped into the tent, she could clearly sense the faint oppressive pressure coming at her. She knew that this was Lotte’s way of warning her and even now, Hailey didn’t know what element Lotte had.

She could only endure her dissatisfaction.

When they reached City B, she would complain everything to her father and mother. This way, they would be able to settle her cousin.

...

They didn’t walk that far and Kate conveniently set up a space barrier around them. This would isolate them completely from the outside world and allowed them to speak freely without anyone hearing them.

“Wang?”

Robby looked around him in confusion. He felt that the area was somewhat different, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong. This was because animals were a bit more sensitive, but their understanding was lower.

“This is a barrier that will help to insulate this area so that no one will be able to hear what we said.” Kyle looked at the two people in front of him. “Now, let’s talk about the matter of your blood contract.”

Marc looked at Kyle and then nodded. “Alright. I don’t know why you’re so interested in this, but the so called blood contract is a contract that I accidently made with Robby.”

“Wang! Wang!”

“No, it’s not like that.” Marc looked at his dog helplessly. “It’s more like I didn’t expect it to happen.”

“What did you do exactly?” Kyle asked.

“Robby bit my finger and drank my blood.” Marc then fell silent. “At that time, the situation was a bit dire and there are several giant mutated animals around me. I can’t remember the exact detail, but I feel that my consciousness is pulled into a white space and heard Robby calling me.”

“Calling you?” Kyle arched his eyebrows.

Robby barked again while wagging his tail as if he wanted to give confirmation that he was indeed calling Marc.

“The blood contract had to be agreed upon by the two parties and seem to be quite binding.” Marc rubbed his chin, trying to find the word to explain what he felt back then. Since this method was not being approved by people yet, it was really hard to find the official description.

Many inventions started from an accident and Marc himself was not a person who was that good at explaining things.

“How binding?”

“Well, I feel as if my soul is connected with Robby. If I were to die, Robby will also die and vice versa.” Marc smiled bitterly. “The problem with this is the different in lifespan between humans and dogs. Robby will definitely die earlier than me.”

“Wang! Wang! Wang!”

Hearing the dog barking, Kate looked at Robby curiously. What she actually wanted to know was how intelligent was this dog, but looking at how he was creating trouble continuously, Kate already had an inkling of the intelligence degree.

A child.

That was the only explanation.

“I did think that there’s a possibility that our lifespan will be shared but I myself don’t know for sure.” Marc smiled bitterly. “Anyway, if you ever want to make a blood contract with your cat, I suggest you think about it carefully. The two of you will always be able to sense each other’s presence and even transfer your power through this contract.”

“Transfer your power?” Kyle narrowed his eyes.

“My element is earth while Robby is metal. However, due to the contract, I can use metal element too as long as Robby had energy.” Marc thought to himself. “You can call it as I’m borrowing Robby’s power. And at the same time, Robby can also use earth element as long as I allowed him to take it.”

Kate was stunned.

What?

The blood contract actually allowed them to share their abilities.

Thinking of her three abilities and then Kyle’s three abilities... Kate felt that such blood contract should never be made. Anyway, she’s technically human and not animal, so it shouldn’t have been possible for them to make a contract in the first place, right?

But seeing that Kyle was thinking and listening carefully, Kate had the inkling that Kyle might still be interested in the blood contract even after hearing about the severe binding power it had.

It was just...

There was no blood contract between humans, got it?
