Chapter 105: Awkward Breakfast! - Adamant Refusal!
[Did you think superhumans wouldn\'t get drunk? Although deadly poisons don\'t affect us, things like alcohol and minor poisons can still affect you.]
[Especially you, who is not even a year old.]
\'Haa... I see, but how annoying and complicated. Should I ask Ryan to change teams?\'
[Why? It\'s not like you did anything once you reached the room. All you did was drink her blood.]
\'If she reports me, then I\'m fucked! Did you forget this group works for the SSS?!\'
He felt like the enjoyable night had turned into a fatal error on his part. Not only were there several messages from Nikita, but he also sent a drunken message to Selene...
Nikolai thankfully responded to Nikita before she threatened to come searching for him with an angry wolf emoji.
However, he hadn\'t read or responded to Selene\'s response and following messages...
His head started throbbing again while taking a sip of the cool juice in his hand. Only after swallowing down his breakfast could he feel the pain in his head and stomach subside slightly.
"Oh? You\'re pretty ravenous this afternoon, haha. Were you still hungry after last night?" Lisa sat down opposite him with her tray of food and drink.
She smiled flirtatiously with her pearly white teeth at Nikolai, though this morning, she only wore light makeup, nothing like her usual showy self, a light peach toner and gloss on her lips.
Lisa seemed to like eating greasy food, as her breakfast was fried chicken and some sweet potato fries. But her eyes showed something was different from yesterday as they stared intently into his own. "Hey~ you\'re not human, are you?"
Lisa took a large bite out of the crispy K-fried chicken thigh as the grease glistened off her luscious lips. Nikolai remained expressionless on the surface but inwardly was quite shocked by Lisa\'s question.
\'Well, I hoped she might not notice...\' He thought about it and decided to deny it and wonder how far she would go. If it were something that would trouble him, then she would probably need to disappear.
"Lisa... What do you mean?" His eyebrow twitched faintly when he replied with an empty response.
"Do you really expect me to buy that? Hmph~ well, if you won\'t tell me..."
She looked at him while narrowing her eyes as she devoured the chicken thigh in her right hand before responding quietly.
Nikolai merely shook his head, indicating his refusal to acknowledge what Lisa suggested and began to drink his coffee. At this moment, Lisa\'s face flashed brightly, "Fine~ you can be honest with me—after all, I filmed last night, fufu!"
\'This bitch?!\' The cup almost slipped from his hand. Lisa placed down the half-eaten chicken bone to bring her plate in front of her.
[Don\'t be so angry, you know that she doesn\'t have anything over you... After all, she is...]
Suddenly, she left her chair while walking forward, swaying her hips and sat beside Nikolai on his side of the table.
She leaned her body closer and showed her phone screen to him. On the phone screen, Nikolai saw a rather explicit scene of a woman\'s body convulsing with a hand on her crotch while he was drinking her blood. He didn\'t understand why, but he felt like this woman must have planned this, and he also knew something about her.
Nikolai\'s hand grasped her wrist and paused the video as it focused on her silliness, a smirk on his face before he let out a low growl, "I think a little kitten should know her place."
The moment he mentioned the word kitten, her skin filled with goosebumps, "Meow~ What will happen if this kitty doesn\'t listen and decides to play a little rough?"
Lisa\'s tone rose to an excited pitch, and she shifted in her seat.
Her eyes became full of excitement, and her pupils narrowed into slits causing him to pull her arm forward forcefully. Their faces were less than an inch apart from each other while he peered into her watery, ice-blue pupils.
"The endangered race of Nekomata from the east will lose another of their important members~ of course!"
"Eh?" She looked very disturbed. A bead of sweat trickled down her cheek as her mouth gaped open, "How do you know what I am?! My family has kept our heritage a secret for hundreds of years. No human or vampire could find any trace of my lineage."
\'Ah, she is kinda amusing...\'
Nikolai then sniffed her neck and showed a wolfish grin, "I imagine any wolf could smell the scent of a lying little pussycat imitating a human from a mile away."
[Liar, you had no clue until you did those things last night! I did not raise my son into a liar!]
\'Don\'t get in my way, mother!\'
With his mother silenced, he leaned back comfortably and explained with a raised brow. Lisa had finally been calmed down, with tears building up in her beautiful, oversized eyes which looked prettier than the fake sharp eyes from before, as tears streamed down her cheek while Nikolai held out a handkerchief for her.
"Don\'t cry, so annoying."
Lisa\'s lower lip trembled as she pouted while sniffling as she accepted the handkerchief and blew her nose on it loudly, causing him to flinch with surprise.
\'Such an ungraceful cat.\'
After several seconds of blowing her nose and wiping her eyes, she returned the snot-soaked piece of cloth to its owner, who simply slapped it away and frowned at the disgusting cat.
"Hehe... My mistake," She giggled softly under his intense glare before her ears shot back.
"So... Um... Sir? Master? Dad?" She asked nervously while scratching her cheek and making a joke to ease the tension built between them from her lie, "What now?"
"Who is your father?!" He replied quickly, clearly feeling somewhat annoyed by this whole ordeal as he almost stood up from the table. Only pulled down by her delicate hand at the last moment.
"My dad was a male of pure nekomata descent from J-Empire. When he was a young man, he left the clan and ended up falling for my mother, a woman from the A-Federation... and thus I was born, tehe~ does that answer your question?"
\'I wasn\'t actually asking you... but, whatever.\' Nikolai felt tired—this woman was brain-dead.
"That will suffice..." He exhaled deeply and took a sip of coffee to calm himself down. "So why did you approach me on purpose?"
"Well, you seemed lonely... and I am quite curious about other supernaturals living among humans..." Lisa suddenly trailed off once she realised he was still holding onto her wrist but his nails began to grow longer, with a sharp tip almost piercing her snow-white skin, yet continued, "and... um..."
"Yes?"
"I thought you looked like a tasty meal!"
"...A delicious meal? What do you mean?"
[The Nekomata can feed off the essence of the opposite sex, as well as the flesh of monsters or humans.]
\'But we didn\'t do anything. How did she feed off me?\'
[She enjoyed a lavish meal when you used those vile fingers of yours to make her sing!]
[I will definitely tell Nikita about this!]
She tilted her head with confusion written all over her face before replying with uncertainty, "Is there anything strange about that?"
"You are certainly one fucked up cat. If Nikita learned about you, she would rip you into pieces..." Nikolai whispered to himself with a bitter smile.
Thankfully, he felt nothing special regarding this cat, but they would need to come to a deal in order for his life to remain under his control.
"So what do you want?" Nikolai said after coming back to reality, seeing the startled woman staring back at him in confusion before explaining, "You can feed off meat normally, so why change now?"
Lisa pursed her lips momentarily and started talking slowly, "W-well... I haven\'t met something that smelt as delicious as you did... How could I pass something down that made me almost jump from the moment I picked up your scent? Such a stupid wolf."
Nikolai laughed aloud, his muffled chuckles filling the empty dining hall before nodding his head slightly, "Fair enough, but you won\'t be getting another taste, understand? You won\'t cause me problems, but in exchange, I will keep your identity safe, or I will sell you out to your boss, understood?"
"A request? What type of request?"
"Please take responsibility for deflowering me last night!"
This caused Nikolai\'s jaw to drop, with warm coffee splashed over her face and chest as his mind went blank for a brief second. "Are you insane, cat? What deflowering, nothing happened!"
"Eh? But your fingers went inside my p..." His hand quickly covered her mouth to hide the vulgar words she said afterwards, frowning at her narrowed blue eyes filled with amusement.
"Stop talking! Why is your head full of such obscene crap?"
"Mmmm..." She remained quiet but licked the palm of his hand seductively until he pulled away with disgust while cleaning it with a spare napkin.
"This damn cat!"
"If I agree to do what you ask, will you shut up?" He sighed and gave her the death stare until she nodded her head gleefully.
"Yes!"
"What do you want exactly?"
"Could you become my boyfriend?"
"Fuck no!"
"???"
Her face looked blank as if completely shocked by the complete refusal.
