The Villain's Little Cat

241 Jake and Lotte

Jake’s eyes lit up when he saw the door opened. He looked expectantly at Lotte, who had walked out.

“Come in. It’s my turn to keep watch.” Lotte looked her boyfriend and shook her head.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Jake nodded his head like chicken pecking for rice. He definitely didn’t want to stay outside any longer.

This cold was nothing to him, but it was so uncomfortable to be unable to stay with his woman. It would be better for him to stay in the same room as her even if he was not allowed to do anything.

“Don’t try to follow others and be the third wheel.” Lotte looked at her boyfriend and shook her head. She was also curious about Kyle and Kate’s progress, but following them was a big no.

She didn’t want to be the third wheel that disrupted other people’s relationship.

After all, being in a relationship herself, she hated it when others disturbed her date and time together with Jake.

“Okay, okay, I won’t disturb them.” Jake raised his hand and quickly promised. In any case, he could just ask Dylan to set up surveillance when they were back in City E and tried to spy on others if he were to be so curious.

He was also contemplating whether to follow Kyle or not because he knew that if he were to be found out, it was estimated that he would be beaten up so badly that his parents wouldn’t’ be able to recognize him.

.....

Yep, that was definitely not anything good.

“You can sleep now. I’ll wake Dylan when it’s time to switch the guard.” Lotte stretched her hand and sat beside the window. Even if they were within a city, they didn’t dare to lower their guard.

After all, this still an unfamiliar territory and with the world that had changed because of these giant mutated animals, who could say that the people were still as kind as they used to be and followed the rules?

It was not impossible for them to commit crimes and Lotte didn’t want to take her chances with these people.

The others had the same thought, which was why they set up this night guard shift.

“Got it.”

“Anything strange?”

“No. Except for some people who are still awake and looked in my direction from time to time, there’s none.” Jake shrugged. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

While he was coaxing his girlfriend, he still paid attention to his surroundings. After all, he knew that it was estimated that he would be set up to be the first one to stay up for the night. And some people did stay awake and looked in his direction.

But he didn’t find anyone exactly suspicious.

With him being shut out of the door by his girlfriend… it might be quite the spectacle for other people.

Jake could only sigh quietly.

It was not like he wanted to be watched, but he didn’t expect his girlfriend to be angry about the matter of him wanting to follow Kyle.

“How about Petra’s side?”

“I sense their gaze for a bit but it’s hours ago. I don’t think that they’re paying close attention to us.” Jake glanced at Lotte.

Because they had been friends with Kyle for a long time, they naturally knew about Kyle’s conflict with Petra. Back then, the incident was quite big and there were a lot of powerful people who were involved.

It was to the point that the matter had to be suppressed.

And those who collaborated with Petra’s family were forced to make a stand whether they wanted to stay with them and be destroyed or stand back. The ruthless Kyle allowed no one from Petra’s family to be let off.

It was ‘bloody.’

But still within the limit and Kyle basically didn’t break any law. Even if those people didn’t like him, they couldn’t exactly do anything if they were to follow the procedure and law.

“It’ll be good if the conflict can be settled soon.” Lotte sighed.

“That’ll depend on how Kyle wanted to deal with them. I don’t even know why he allowed them to stay alive.”

“If he killed them so blatantly, it’s estimated that we will be targeted by everyone else.” Lotte still knew this much at the very least. “It had to be somewhere where there’s no one else and could be kept hidden without any trace.”

Jake glanced at his girlfriend.

“And it’s also best if it can be disguised as giant mutated animals’ attack. After all, it’ll be troublesome if those upright people wanted to make trouble for Kyle because of Petra’s matter,” Lotte added calmly.

Jake: “…” when did you become so ruthless?

He looked at his girlfriend helplessly and shook his head. Because of the so called law, people’s moves were restrained to a certain extent. Kyle also didn’t want to trouble them all because there were too much to loss by doing crime.

He could only hold back and wait for a good opportunity to make his move.

Even though Jake agreed with his girlfriend, he began to wonder when did Lotte learn to be so ruthless like this.

Was this the influence of Kyle and Dylan?

He began to contemplate whether it would be better for him to stay in City E with Lotte instead of taking more missions if his two friends were only giving bad examples for Lotte like this.

“Sleep. If you don’t have enough rest for tomorrow’s battle, don’t blame me.”

“I’m sleeping, I’m sleeping.” Jake hurriedly rushed towards his bed. He felt a bit regret that there were two beds in this room, so he couldn’t sleep on the same bed with his girlfriend. But well, there might be other chance in the future, right?

He felt happy thinking about that~.

Lotte looked at Jake’s foolish grin and narrowed her eyes, wondering what kind of scheme this foolish boyfriend of hers was actually thinking.

She shook her head.

As she looked outside the window, there was a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
