Chapter 707 - Progress (2/2)

Her wig.

Flashes of image phased through her mind as she recalled having a mysterious contractor from one of the strange cults hiring her to steal an artifact from some... building. Everything felt blurry to her from thereon. However...

'Did I manage to steal it or not?' She tried to remember carefully but she couldn't recall anything no matter how hard she tried.

Afraid that something 'untoward' had taken place while she was in some form of affliction, she quickly looked down her blouse and touched her crotch through her pants, and furrowed. She couldn't feel anything strange. Fumbling around, she finally found a cellphone, and the moment she looked at the date and the time, she gasped out loud.

She has been in this strange condition for almost 5 days now?

An ominous feeling gripped her heart when the door to the room was softly knocked before being opened after hearing no reply.

A youthful presence entered the room with a tray of what smelled like a scrumptious meal with a glass of orange juice.

She didn't like the pulp-filled orange juice but much to her momentary relief, she couldn't actually see any pulp on its surface. After years of hatred, Felicia just got the hang of finding out pulps even through a long distance.

”You are...” Felicia's gaze widened as she looked at the dark-haired man with violet eyes. She had a remarkable encounter with a person of the same figure, and strangely, stunningly similar presence. He was with Ava that day when she had the contract of stealing some alien lifeform that only went berserk.

”Nik,” he smiled and placed the bed table over, ”I figured that slowly recovering from mind control isn't the most pleasing sensation in the world,” he pointed out the cause of her situation quite casually, making Felicia shudder.

”How did you know?” Inquiring in hurry and almost toppling the glass of juice, she was comforted very slightly by his words, ”Try to eat something first.”

”Like hell I will,” Felicia snorted. Mind control? Waking up in stranger's house! Would she dare eat something she hadn't prepared herself at such a sensitive time?

*Grrr*

Ignoring the retort of her rumbling stomach, she looked at Nik with her green eyes. An aspect that Nik noticed now.

'Green pupils aren't all that rare in this world...'

He himself knew Mj, Vertigo, Morgan, who had emerald pupils and even Felicia sported such a color of eyes, too.

”Oh, well,” Nik smiled. ”Now that you're up, you can either have your... brunch, or leave. Nobody is going to force you to stay here.”

Walking out of his room, Nik entered Mary's room where Angela lied on the bed. Mary had left for the job and also dropped Anna off at school with Anna holding the black and white rings which are supposed to be for Cindy and Ms. Forest (Natasha's teacher role). Meanwhile, he had started to slowly change Angela's physique. Since he had too much on his plate today, he sensibly took another holiday from school.

Angela's physique was tough and durable. Her muscles were dense and her body hadn't even reached its greatest potential. However, Nik wasn't modifying her body so that she could achieve her full potential. He was simply enhancing her nervous system to make it comparable to Taskmaster. Till now, Taskmaster's nervous system and bodily reactions were the most optimum.

*Knock*

*Knock*

Nik looked back and walked out of the room.

”You still didn't learn any courtesy to treat a woman, did you? Just like the last time!” Felicia mocked and looked around, slightly impressed by the apartment. Any apartment, if mostly owned by youth or at least, someone who gave the frivolous vibes, would feel like something straight out of the magazine of some Italian architecture but this apartment looked cozy. The fact that it wasn't completely clean but still looked pleasant to the eyes affirmed this particular insight of Felicia.

”Last time?” Nik mused, ”I was more than courteous... I killed the big guy, right?”

Her expression changed at Nik's words. Any person associated with Ava would not speak lightly about killing. Felicia had come across Ava several times and it was quite right to say that she was a complete stuck up.

”I didn't mean it like that... Just, can you tell me what happened?”

”Even I don't know the complete story,” Nik shrugged before looking back into the room.

”Listen, I'm busy at the moment so, if you want to stick around and then chat later, sure. Give me thirty minutes. And, if you're feeling a little woozy for not bathing for some time then here,” A golden wisp instantly washed over Felicia as she felt...

Well, free.

She had been feeling an urgent task herself but now...

'Does he know that...' Felicia's thoughts triggered and she looked at Nik with a surprised expression but all she found was a door closing on her face.

Meanwhile, Nik finally began modifying Angela slightly.

To not overestimate his own capabilities, he used Angela's model already analyzed by Lola and compared the results of each tweak right then and there so no hidden problem could escape their observation.

While Angela was simply upgraded in her unconsciousness, Nik's ability to manipulate other bodies grew by leaps and bounds. After all, that agent was a simple human, however, Angela was a completely different situation.

The fact that she looked this slim and weighed almost 220 kg was a testament to the fact.
