Chapter 591 - Single Kitty (2/2)
”For real though,” Nik followed her while continuing to whisper, ”You have an extreme approach for situations when you are dubbed as a superhero in the city.”
”It would have been efficient to temporarily remove that man from the picture,” White Tiger argued as Nik shrugged, ”I can't really care about that. What if you attacked him and found that he's a superhuman, too? Just think of it as minimizing extreme risks, which in some situation, is considered as being efficient... probably,” Nik traced his chin as Ava thought carefully. He was simply avoiding other person because he had nothing to do with him. Is there a need to poke one's nose in a stranger's business unless it is assured that it will affect oneself? Not in Nik's life, no. So, the two jumped the guard on the other side of the entrance towards the back of the riverside. Jumping was a harsh word. Ava just punched on the back of the guard's thigh with extreme precision while Nik knocked out the guy and save him from the suffering that almost befell him.
”Damn, you were thinking of scratching his face!” Nik whistled in astonishment before leaping lightly and picking out the camera while White Tiger, with sharp, mechanical nails, attached to her costume retracted the cruel weapons and nodded, ”That's how I usually take out enemies.”
”Seems enjoyable,” smiling, Nik crushed the camera and looked at the thick gate that had no opening towards the top. ”Can you open the doors?” Nik inquired as he touched the surface and getting a good feel of the facility. ”It's... military-grade 1-meter variant steel with lightning conductors attached to the hooks. Not only that, but the mechanism can also only disabled from inside.”
”So... this is troublesome. And how do you even know this? The informant didn't know this.”
”Is he a superhero? Anyway, there's a tiny gap between in between the door so I can most possibly—” Before Ava could comprehend what Nik was saying, Nik disappeared from her eyes and he wasn't simply invisible... he was 'too' invisible in the sense that she could only smell his lingering scent. Meanwhile, Nik appeared on the other side of the door, ”— shift quite easily. Hey,” sidestepping and avoiding a startling strike of the butt of a gun, Nik held the weapon and grinned at the terrified guard, ”Sorry, but you guys are on temporary vacation!” Easily dismantling the guy from his gun and twisting his waist to lightly kick the man and knocking him out, Nik turned towards the large red button. ”Hey! Where are you?!” Ava's voice rang into the intercom as Nik pushed the button, opening the gate and surprising Ava who instantly struck into the inner side of the building with a well-prepared kick the moment she saw adequate space.
”What the hell?” Nik pointed gun right against the back of Ava's head, ”Don't scare me like that.”
”It's not funny,” Instantly twisting her ankle and rotating her body to kick back, Ava snarled in annoyance as Nik dodged her attack. ”Sure,” he shrugged, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, layering it with purification and then rubbing the handle of the gun before throwing it away.
”How did you do that?” Ava inquired.
”You know, I might have told you if I still didn't feel a little cautious against you,” Nik shrugged, ”That's why I emphasized we should hang out more. It's not about me clearing my name in your mind, but you clearing your name in my eyes.” With her lips twitching, finally knowing that Nik could be rather frivolous and stubborn at the same time, Ava held her tongue and followed Nik silently. After all, he kept touching the walls and led right towards the target while avoiding cameras most of the time. And when he couldn't, he would walk past them as if confident that he wasn't being recorded and surely, he wasn't being recorded, just Ava was.

”There's a breach in the facility!” The command from the control panel instantly alerted everyone as Carlton still in the headquarters got the news and instantly raced out if the building towards his research facility, unable to understand how the news of his experiment even got out. ”It was last week's incident!” He hissed to himself. Meanwhile, the guard who alerted the guard found and metal pole striking the back of his head, making his vision swim while behind him stood a ravishing figure in black, shimmering leotard and white fur marking the edge of the deep neck and the ends of her sleeves. With a black mask only covering the eye region and revealing her blue pupils with silver hair tied into a ponytail, the figure looked at Ava with a deep scowl.
”How is that 'superheroes' are flocking in here?” She mumbled to herself before grinning and pressing the emergency command of the facility. ”Ah, my hand slipped, sweetheart. Every facility can only hold one kitty and that's me,” she snickered before sauntering out of the control panel. Outside the control room, she walked over the unconscious guard with a grin as she gazed at the hall full of such men still living their dreams while she would... well, earn her living.
