Chapter 638 - Kindhearted (2/2)
---
Admiring his work as the three women, two mature and curvaceous redheads flanking the young brunette with the mother spooning the daughter and the niece scissoring her aunt, Nik smiled in satisfaction. 'Strip clubs and enemies prostitution centers aside, I should definitely try being a relationship advisor,' tracing his beardless chin, Nik continued in his narcissistic thoughts, 'Oh! Nice! Who knew getting shared equally would actually help in my karmic objective!' His face broke into an even wider smile.
With this adventure being his first try with Transmigration Heart, Nik had thought that his karmic objective would remain quite stoic and restrictive and while that was certainly true, Nik now realized that the karma had actually twisted around Nik's current nature. While helping beggars to fight against any unjust street Karen was certainly an act of equality, now, if Nik felt that sharing himself amongst three girls was just enough then it would be an act of equality, too. However, the ambiguity of the karma itself made sure that s.e.x.u.a.l acts had less effect and progress on his karma.
'Was I always this idealistic?' Nik thought to himself. Sure, different scenarios in different worlds would always make his past self turn to different options which would lead to different karmic objectives when he takes over. But such an idealistic thought still bugged him. What if he was actually an idealist deep down and one day decided to help Ray or Brian out of the selflessness of his heart.
'That isn't a good example though. I am a good friend... probably, so I will still help Ray and Brian if they give me goodies.' Walking out of the room after a sweep of purification, Pickle already turning into a robe around him and a cozy slippers to the boot, Nik began his day with a cold beer. His constitution ensured that he can drink as much beer, at least, the ones found on earth, without risking any kidney or liver disease.
[Yo! I just reached New York! Where are you? Let's hang out!] Ray's message popped in front of Nik as he waved it away, too happy and selfless to indulge his nonsense by making sarcastic retorts against Ray this early in the morning.
[Did you just ignore me?] The message flashed again as Nik sat on the couch and spread his senses. Finding no sign of Ray in the entire block, Nik ignored the pop-up and opened tv. Keeping the volume low, Nik looked at another source of vibration and finding his cellphone ringing on the dinner table, Nik just used his spatial manipulation to bring the device near him for sake of grinding his control over space
”Yeah? Cindy?” Nik picked up and recognized the caller as Cindy's hurried voice greeted him.
”Hey— Yeah, I'm on phone with him! Give it a rest already!—” she suddenly shouted before continuing, ”Nik, can you stop by my mum's lab today? I'll send you the address. She's been wanting to meet with you since yesterday and she just woke me up... at 7 am during summer vacation.”
”Uh... sure. Just text me the stuff you don't want me talking with your mother and say hi to her,” Nik chortled as Cindy groaned weakly before cutting off the call.
[You just picked the phone!] Ray's message made Nik sigh as he stood and walked towards the balcony. Glaring at the pigeon erratically bobbing its head, Nik hissed, ”What?”
The pigeon froze for a moment before flapping its wings as Nik pursed his lips, ”If you think you can shit on the apartment just because you're controlling a pigeon then you're dead wrong.”
[Then stop ignoring me!] Ray huffed, [Let's meet up in the evening. Hufflepuff Scones, 6 pm.] With that, the pigeon flew away as Nik swept his gaze over one more time to find other potential triggers that might switch on Ray's mind control. 'His scent sucks,' Nik scoffed internally before purifying the balcony and strutting back into the apartment.
