The Villain's Little Cat

"Wang! Wang! Wang!" <It’s the sea! It’s the sea! It’s the sea!>

"I know you’re excited, but do you need to be running around like this?" Marc looked at his uncooperative dog and felt really helpless.

Lucy laughed. "Robby liked going to the sea. Have you never gone here before?"

"No, the sea is too far and I have no time." Marc shrugged.

Kate was resting within Kyle’s embrace as a cat. She had to admit that when going for mission, it would be better for her to be a cat rather than being a human because that way, she would not attract any attention.

She also didn’t want to make things more difficult and complicated by going as a human.

The name Kate is already famous.

But Kyle’s cat was not really known by many people. Aside from this small group, there were not many people who knew that Kate can turn into a cat.

Thus, when they saw Kyle’s group, their impression was that Kate was being left behind in City E.

And when they thought that…

They abandoned any thought of attacking City E. Just the thought of having to face that unreasonably powerful reverse healer had already caused chills on their back.

Fight Kate?

Only if they were seeking a very efficient way to die would they pick that option.

This young woman was already famous and even if they didn’t know how powerful she actually was, this would not deter them from stopping far away from City E. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Black Group?"

Hearing that voice, they all turned around. Their black group was naturally not the only one coming out to take the mission. There were other people who had also reached rank 7 who came forward.

After all, everyone wanted to take a piece from that source.

It was said that anyone who could gain the source would obtain unimaginable power that was beyond anyone’s expectation. Many people were eager to try their luck. Even if they were only rank 5 or rank 6, they were willing to brave danger.

For power!

Kyle looked at the man in front of him and arched his eyebrows. "Mercenary Kent?"

Kent was one of the few people who participated in the mission to City H back then. After the entire City H was destroyed, only five people managed to run away while the two rank 6 awakened was forever buried.

One was because of the reverse healing method.

And the other was because he was crushed to death and failed to escape in the end.

Kent managed to escape earlier thanks to Kate’s warning. He was also one of the few people who didn’t participate in the political struggle.

Now, Kent had reached rank 7. Even if he only managed to advance recently, he had indeed participated in the last meeting session. It was just that he didn’t actively speak up because he was considered as a ’newcomer.’

Kent was not exactly part of any power.

He considered himself as a mercenary who would go and roam around, fighting these giant mutated animals while earning money from some mission. It was a relatively free occupation.

At least, for him, it is.

"It’s been a while." Kent smiled.

Kyle nodded. He didn’t have much interaction with Kent because the one in the same mission as Kent was Kate. But he had heard Kate said that Kent was a good person. At the very least, he was not among those annoying people who hated the reverse healer.

"What brings you here?"

"I heard the source can help me to get stronger and want to try my luck. My team are also eager for challenge." Kent laughed.

"I see." Kyle was not surprised.

The temptation of power was getting stronger and stronger. Even many other nations had already sent their people to slip into those islands, trying their luck to find the core faster.

But how could it be easy.

With many rank 7 to rank 8 giant mutated animals roaming around the islands, it was true torture that would make a lot of people retreat in fear and agony.

They didn’t want to challenge the impossible and earned a free ticket to hell.

"Kate is not coming?" Kent asked.

Kyle pursed his lips. "Do you have anything you would like to talk to her about?"

The fact that Kate and Kyle stayed in City E was not a secret. In fact, some of them felt that the relationship between Kyle and Kate were a bit unusual. But on the surface, no one dared to mention it in the slightest bit.

"I only want to thank her for her help back then." Kent laughed. "I’ll be heading to that small island on the edge, so I’m dropping off at the first stop. If you need any help, you can tell me."

He also wanted to head to the bigger island, but considering that his ability was not that strong and his team were still consisted of people with rank 5 to rank 6, he better stayed at the periphery.

It was still very dangerous and Kent only wished that he could stay alive even if they didn’t manage to find anything.

Anyway, hunting some high ranked giant mutated animals could also be proven to be profitable.

"Good luck."

"Meow." <Good luck!>

Kate had good impression of Kent. At the very least, she would not categorize him as an enemy. Cooperating was fine, but it would not be possible to be more than that.

Kent smiled and walked away.

Soon, they reached the small island and disembarked. There was a small harbor built in this island but it was not exactly completely explored. Thanks to that, there were many other awakened who came and tried their luck on this area.

Even if they didn’t manage to get the source, they could hunt other high ranked giant mutated animals.

Or even practicing.

"We’re waiting here?" Lucy asked.

"There’s a special boat if you want to go deeper. They need awakened who are good at controlling water and also driving to take us inside," Kyle explained.
