The Villain's Little Cat

“I know. Stop the car so we can switch. Lotte, make sure no giant mutated animals are around.”

“Got it.” Lotte smiled and spread her wind element to check the area. It was indeed the easiest job for her because the wind element was indeed the most suitable to be a scout more than other elements.

Jake then stopped the car and stretched his hand. He felt a bit numb after having to drive for hours without stopping. “Finally, I can rest.”

“There are several giant mutated animals not far at the left area. That’s a forest, though.” Lotte looked strange as she turned to look at their left. She felt that she had seen a scene that she didn’t want to see from these giant mutated animals.

“Are they attacking humans?” Jake asked as he switched seat with Lotte. Anyway, it wouldn’t be good for Lotte to sleep here right beside Kyle. It would be saver for her to stay at the back.

“No.” Lotte shook her head. “These giant mutated animals are fighting amongst themselves.”

“Eh, there are also infighting among giant mutated animals?” Jake was stunned. But thinking about it from another perspective, these giant mutated animals were naturally not a united army. They consisted of several species and some of them just have bad relationship with each other.

Thus, it was normal that these giant mutated animals would be fighting amongst themselves too.

.....

“Just leave them be. We don’t have enough supplies to eliminate all giant mutated animals.” Kyle glanced at Jake and then took a seat at the driver seat. He carefully did everything with his right hand while his left hand was still carrying the sleeping Kate.

It looked as if he was treasuring her very much and didn’t even want to disturb her sleep to accompany him in guarding. Probably, for Kyle, it would be better for the little cat to sleep rather than helping him guard.

“Got it.” Lotte withdrew her ability and watched as Kyle started the car expertly without bothering Kate in the slightest bit. She blinked her eyes. “For some reason, I suddenly feel jealous of a cat.”

Jake, who hadn’t slept yet, was speechless. “Baby, if you want me to pamper you, you can say it directly, ok.”

“I never said that!” Lotte glared at Jake and then closed her eyes, refusing to even talk with the other party again.

Jake smiled helplessly and then closed his eyes. He felt that women were a very strange creature, but who made him liked this one woman very much?

He could only helplessly cater to her whims from time to time.

But of course, Jake knew that Lotte would care for him. After all, she was the one who had been taking care of him a lot...

*cough*

Alright, Jake should stop spreading dog food. If Kyle were to know what he was thinking, it was estimated that he would considering buying an ear plug to stop hearing what Jake wanted to say about his girlfriend.

Time passed quietly.

“Meow...”

Kate stirred awake and blinked her eyes. She looked into the window and noticed that it was still dark. It shouldn’t be morning yet at this time, so Kate stretched her body and looked at Kyle, who was driving.

“Meow?”

“You’re up, Little Kitty?” Kyle looked at Kate and smiled lightly. He adjusted his posture to allow her to sit on his palm. Her small size was indeed very cute, but it was truly not the ideal for those who wanted to fight.

“Meow.”

Kate moved to Kyle’s palm and then looked outside. She then blinked her eyes and laid on top of Kyle’s palm comfortably.

Seeing the little cat that was about to sleep again, Kyle laughed lightly. “You heartless little one, you’re going to let me guard by myself?”

“Meow.”

Kate turned to look at Kyle with her large innocent eyes.

Kyle shook his head. He never actually expected this heartless little cat of his would want to accompany him anyway. She loved to sleep so much and knowing that children liked to sleep, he allowed her to be.

“Just sleep if you’re tired, I can deal with the giant mutated animals on the way.”

“Meow.”

Very soon, Kate fell asleep again.

Kyle watched Kate and shook his head, focusing on the road.

...

The next time Kate woke up again, it was at breakfast time. At this time, the group was talking about the small stop in front of them.

“There’s a gas station there and it seems to be filled with people. Should we stop?”

“We have more than enough gas, right?” Jake was not sure. From what he knew, Little Kitty and Kyle had already filled a lot of supplies for them to go without the need to worry so much.

“How much are left?”

“Probably several tons.” Kyle thought to himself and looked at the little cat that was awake. “You’re awake, drink some milk for you breakfast.”

“Meow...” Kate answered lazily.

Lotte looked at Kate. “Little Kitty, do you like to drink milk?”

“Meow.”

However, Kate still drank the milk from the bottle that Kyle handed to her. Anyway, her small body was indeed the most suitable to drink milk even now.

“Little Kitty, how about if you come here and let me play with you a bit?” Lotte was sitting right next to Kyle because Kyle switched with Dylan in the morning. The two of them ended up sitting at the backseat right now.

Kate frowned. She finished her milk and then jumped to Kyle’s shoulder. Even though her body was small, she was capable to jump the height that was taller than her own height. After that, Kate hid on Kyle’s back neck.

“Little Kitty, you’re tickling me.” Kyle helplessly tugged Kate’s tail.

“Meow.”

Lotte’s lips twitched. “Your cat is really heartless! Why do you want to hide from such a beautiful woman like me?!”

The others laughed at Lotte’s words.

They all knew that she was only joking. After all, Kate was not close to her and would usually stick to Kyle, so there was no way that she would suddenly jump to Lotte without any prior warning. With time, they would be closer, but for now, no one would be able to defeat Kyle.

“Bypass?” Dylan asked, pointing at the gas station that was only a few meters away from them.

“Yes, bypass them.” Kyle nodded. He didn’t have any interest to stop here and then find troubles with the people who were staying in this area. These people were capable of resisting the giant mutated animals and made this place their base, so they should be hard to deal with.

At the very least, it would require them some time.

Well, they have no time to play around.

“Ok.”

As Dylan continued to drive, they headed to the intersection at the front. At this time, Lotte’s expression changed. “There’s an ambush!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bullets exploded midair and Lotte’s wind shield directly blocked the attack. Her expression was solemn as she was stunned that the one who attacked them were not giant mutated animals but humans.

Did their team offend someone?

“Kill them!” Several men appeared and countless abilities were shot out.

Kyle frowned. He recognized them as members of Rodent Group who were in the same mission as them last time. It seemed that the Rodent Group was dissatisfied because they could get away early.

“Should we kill them?”

“Wait a minute.” Kyle used one of his hand to hold Kate closer to him so that she would not see this cruel image. There was no need to cause this fainthearted little cat to have nightmares. “Ok, kill them all.”

Lotte’s lips twitched when she saw Kyle’s gesture. She felt that Kyle was indeed being too protective of his little cat. Come on, in this kind of brutal world, who hadn’t seen the picture of killing?

But she naturally didn’t voice it out.

Her hand moved lightly and the wind slashed towards these people.

Kyle simply raised his hand and fire started from these people’s feet, spreading towards each and every single one of them.

Followed by shrill scream, these people were all burned into ash.

There was nothing remained aside from the crystals cores within their body that Kyle’s fire couldn’t destroy.

“Little Kitty, you can collect the crystals now. After that, show them to me.”

“Meow.”

Kate couldn’t see what happened, but she could guess based on their scream. For a peak rank 4 to deal with these few people who were only at rank 3 or 2... it was a brutal massacre.
