31 What A Waste (1/2)

”What I pursue is the true happiness! If pursuing happiness is a sin then I don't mind being a sinner!” Kiba concluded with a heavy expression. Even the golden lightning and the dark clouds in the sky didn't make any sound as if their silence denoted their belief in Kiba's words.

Lisa was shocked by Kiba's words. His philosophy sounded genuine to her especially the reasoning he used to justify his pursuit of the opposite sex.

She couldn't help but think of his words on how things like world domination, gaining strength, and pursuing immortality were nothing but pipe dreams.

”He might be correct, ” Lisa mumbled but then she gaped her mouth open. She shook off her head as if trying to become sober.

”Am I being brainwashed?” Lisa felt a chill down her spine when she thought of this. She then thought of how she has tried to brainwash him earlier by enticing him with fame and reverence by the world if he agreed to become her experiment specimen.

Lisa couldn't help but think Kiba was toying with her just like how she has tried.

Kiba noticed the change of expressions on Lisa's face. With a sigh, he said, ”Seems like you are not qualified for the holy path. I didn't want to kill you if possible but you left me with no choice.”

”N-no! I believe in you!

Kiba just smiled in response as he crouched in front of kneeling Lisa.

”If you kill me the world government will surely find out and kill--” Lisa stopped in between. She thought of Kiba's personality and knew the threat was useless.

”What a disappointment. You are same as others whom I have killed,” Kiba gave a sigh as he continued,” Even Castor Damon threatened me in a similar fashion before I killed him. I guess you scientists think too much of your life.”

Lisa was shocked. She was a Level III scientist so how can she not know of someone like Castor Damon?!

He was a Level IX scientist who has disappeared four years ago! She has heard rumors about him working on a secret project amidst which he disappeared in Delta City!

Hang on!

Kiba's first public sighting was three and a half years ago! Could Castor Damon be related to how Zed gained Cosmic Spark and became Kiba?

No! I can't think of this things now! Survival is more important!

”Don't...please,” Lisa begged as blood continued to leak from her orifices. Her powers were already erased by the pressure from golden lightning a few minutes ago. All the military tech she had were also erased. She couldn't defend against even an ordinary mutant much less someone like Kiba.

”You are making me look like the bad guy here. It was you who attacked me so surely you can't blame me,” Kiba said as he placed his right hand on her cheek.

”I-I was wrong,” Lisa didn't dare use any more cursing or warning. She regretted trying to capture Kiba for her experiments but now it was too late for regrets.

Kiba's right hand moved from her cheek to her lips. His fingers wiped the blood from her lips.
