Chapter 639 - Meet-up (1/2)
Nik skipped out Nari's lab with a soft hum. 'Vanish strikes again!' He felt pretty great for choosing that name, after all, that's the name Nari wished on her back with a permanent marker. Nari had many doubts, some of which Nik was happy to clear while the others regarding Cindy were clearly banned by her daughter's text message. Of course, Nari kept the lab to herself once she received the news that Nik was arriving, or else, the sight on Albert's face wouldn't have been a good one.
With hours remaining to his appointed meet with the only male succubus in his life, Nik decided to find appropriate storage spaces for rent to begin the process of conversion of spirit bones.
'Unlike the portion of Venom I siphoned off, my version of l.u.s.t apostle sludges don't have that kind of seeds within themselves. Instead of trying to spread my bloodline further... I can probably use the further creation of symbiote to present Anna and Mary with one of their own, this will remove their problem of not being strong enough a partner in presence of others... but... I'll also need to remove the consciousness budding within the new symbiote.' The rest of his time was spent musing about the applications of Venom and even the methods to remove its basic weakness to sound and fire.
All the while, Nik kept an eye out for four different spies keeping an eye out for him. The four spies had different methods, too, and they just began spying on him today. Nik had a few thoughts on that matter but he had too good of a night to care for them as he continued to contact rentals.

Mark set up the morning table while Steve prepared breakfast. This was the routine of both the captain Americas, albeit, one could eat a boar and drink an entire bottle of Vodka by himself and the other had to use guns against drug dealers. ”Am I the only one seeing that gruff guy following us back then?” Mark inquired, his aged face showing a hint of confusion while Steve sat on the table and poured himself a glass of juice.
”I've already stopped caring for them. They'll follow two days top every month. And that guy is from Shield. However, it's that blondie who clears trash that concerns me,” Steve drained the content while Mark's brows rose, ”Marga? She's just a sweet little thing.”
”That's what she wants you to think. She's Russian and always carries a gun in her boots. Well, I still contacted a guy I know. He'll check up on her.” Steve shrugged as Mark looked at his phone. While the Captain was against Mark's risky action, the nagging had mellowed down quite a bit but what truly concerned Mark was the lack of response from Matt. He's been out of reach for an entire day when suddenly, a text from Matt finally reached Mark, making the man sigh in relief.

”It's been months,” Nik snickered as he walked up to a stunning 'girl' sitting alone and staring out through the window. It was easy to see the gazes attracted towards them as boys and girls focused on both youths. ”Enough to make me miss you~!” Ray cooed as Nik sat down in front of him with a sigh, ”Yea, I missed Yar, too.”
Staring at Nik with a smirk, Ray suddenly scoffed a chuckle as Nik ordered a drink for himself. He wasn't interested in a plateful of scones as Ray had treated himself to. ”So?” Ray went straight to the important topic.
”How many young kids did you lure yet?” He inquired with a playful bite of his lips, distracting Nik momentarily before he frowned. ”You've... evolved?” His bloodline wasn't the same anymore, Nik could feel the similar but far better quality of l.u.s.tful forces brewing within Ray and attracting everyone's, even his, attention once again.
”Ho, ho, ho, is it that obvious?” Ray inquired smugly while Nik diffused his effect around himself. ”Well, that blatant display was obvious enough,” Nik shook his head before smiling, ”And two. The rest are mature,” he smiled before Ray's eyes gleamed, ”Six, and I made a deal with the devil. It's kinda complicated but yeah, I actually have a shot at controlling someone who is rank six. Did you know that most of the existence doesn't even understand the locks binding them?”
”Well,” Nik recalled Strange, ”The one I know of seems pretty knowledgeable, considering that he was surely rank 1 and now he's rank 6.”
”Oooh~ Introduce me to him, will you!” Ray grinned as Nik shrugged, ”Sure. So... you are supposed to be a ninja, right?” Nik recalled Ray's circ.u.mstance while Ray leaned back on his chair while diffusing the remaining portion of his effect and making it look like the two of them weren't even present in the establishment.
”Kunoichi! Cause I'm s.e.xy as hell!”
”Narcissistic, too,” Nik nodded, making Ray eye him with a sarcastic tone, ”So are you,” the silver-haired youth pointed out before shaking his head.
