Chapter 14 Awake As A Unique!
The woman on the other side fell into a contemplated silence. She was probably mulling over whether she should believe Cyrus since there hadn't been such a case in the past.
Nevertheless, this place was still hidden and kept a secret from the common public. Unless a BoD patient could subdue a perfectly healthy officer, it was impossible for it to be discovered.
With a loud beep, the closed door suddenly opened.
"Wait in the lobby. I'll be there in five minutes and go with you to see the Minister!" The women's stern voice rang.
Cyrus's lips curled upward, "I'm waiting."
He appeared in the same interior as the lobby of the District V inner wall. It was also empty with doors. This was still district U, just above District V, but still, an extremely low-level district filled with BoD patients.
Cyrus thought for a moment before he decided to wait for this woman since he wanted to try something with an ordinary woman.
He revealed his skinny face to see if he could fool her out of this place, or he had to use the revolver to make her comply.
Thereupon, the door behind the counter pushed open, and a petite woman appeared in a green uniform. Cyrus's eyes brightened when he saw her.
She was 5'6 tall and slender. Facially, she looked a lot like a teenager in her early 20s with a small white oval face, cherry lips, and beautiful pair of bright starry eyes. She had a great ass and legs, and her perky breasts perfectly matched her petite figure.
Her long black hair reached her slender waist as it was still wet. She clearly just appeared out of the shower since it was morning.
She looked at Cyrus, who was shorter than her, with narrowed eyes as she sensed his judging gaze at her.
Although Cyrus was above average with his current appearance, he still wasn't at the level where he could charm women at first sight.
Nevertheless, he was still the old player who knew the art of making women happy.
So, he quickly smiled and said, "Miss, you are just pretty as your voice."
The woman's name was Rita, and she clearly wasn't someone who could be impressed by mere words, especially when every man here wanted to woo her. Cyrus wasn't even at her interest level yet.
However, Cyrus was astonished when that woman suddenly drew her revolver from her wrist in a fast gun-drawing movement and pointed the barrel at him.
She coldly asked, "You're not Officer Martian in our database! Who are you!"
Cyrus cocked an eyebrow, 'I was seen through this easily? They should've devices to check personal details with the ID number like Qi tokens. What a blunder on my side.'
He raised his hands and tried another method, "If you lower your gun, I'll tell you a way to awake as a Unique!"
Cyrus's words only made Rita's expression colder: "It seemed you're not only bold but also dumb to not even know about the truth of this world. Alright, you are under arrest!"
She took a step toward Cyrus while her finger was still on the trigger, and if he made any excessive moment, she'd shoot without any hesitation.
'I had to convince her a hard way.' Cyrus's eyes shimmered darkly as he didn't move and let her approach him.
Rita thought that a shorty like Cyrus was now afraid, and from his looks, he didn't strike as the strong type or sharp, so she approached him full of confidence as she dreamed of getting a reward for capturing Cyrus.
She had long suspected that something was fishy when she heard Cyrus's voice which she had never heard before since there was always the old man who came here. Then he made that excuse, so she carried her gun with her.
But she never thought this guy was so dumb that he didn't even know how an ID check worked. And he even dared to flirt with her despite knowing he was a criminal. Truly laughable!
"Alright, turn around!" She was about to reach the handcuff attached to her belt when Cyrus suddenly moved.
Like a nimble snake and taking advantage of his short height, he ducked the gun barrel and quickly closed the distance between Rita and himself.
Rita was stunned as she had never thought this scrawny guy was so fast, and he instantly rendered her gun advantage useless. But she was also trained, and her reflex was not to be laughed at.
She instantly used her knee to smack Cyrus's face, who was already an inch away from touching her private place.
However, Cyrus was even faster since he had unimaginable experience in fighting, and he saw this knee attack coming long before Rita even thought of it. So, he blocked her knee with his arm and used the impact to headbutt her chin!
Rita was again shocked by Cyrus's quick reaction and choice of attack, and this time, she didn't even have a chance to counter before Jacob's redhead was smacked into her chisel chin!
She was knocked back, and Cyrus fell over her.
Before she could recover, he quickly took the revolver from her hand and stood up while looking at her coldly. His head was hurting like mad at this moment, but he endured.
If he hadn't raised by two tiers, his head might've been wounded because of this attack, not just hurt. Or if he didn't need Rita alive, she would be long dead if he had used the Lust Sword the moment he escaped the gun's range.
Blood trickled from her mouth as Rita felt the world spinning before she regained her focus. She caught the gimps of Cyrus, who had this cold smile as he looked at her like she was his prey.
She felt humiliated when she thought how easily she got knocked by Cyrus, and all that pride she had as an officer was crushed.
Cyrus looked at Rita's resentful eyes and sternly said, "Now observe and judge yourself if I'm merely kidding around or do I have really had the ability to turn you from Ordinary to Unique!"
