Chapter 297 - 297 A Guest
297 A Guest
Kyle was originally planning on returning directly. But a call from his father made him have to abort this plan and come directly to his father’s office.
“What is it?” Kyle asked when he saw his father.
“The White Family will come here.” General Ryan glanced at Kyle. “Tell me, how did your group attract the White Family?”
“White Family?” Kyle blinked his eyes. “I don’t think our Martin Family have any relationship with the White Family, right?”
Kate glanced at Kyle, silently thinking about his surname instead of this matter. She only knew that his surname started with M but the students usually call him Professor Kyle instead of Professor Martin for some reason.
She forgot why thought.
General Ryan felt like vomiting blood when he heard his son’s question. “That’s why I’m asking you what did you do to attract the White Family! They’re a big business family and plan to come here to establish a cooperative relationship.”
Kyle rolled his eyes. “If it’s business matter, why does it need to be connected to me? You can just ask Dylan and his Ice Group to handle this matter if you think that you can’t handle it well.”
“I also don’t want to call you if not for their request to have Black Group to be the one who came forward as representative.”
.....
“Huh?” Kyle looked at his father suspiciously. “Black Group can only be categorized as mercenary group at best. When did we get involved in business?”
As the team leader, Kyle naturally knew best that their group was mostly involved in mission that was related to killing in the past. But because of Kate being a reverse healing and those annoying higher ups fighting, they decided to tone down a bit.
Anyway, they also needed to stabilize their rank after advancing a bit too fast.
No one knew the real limit of their abilities. Though, their guess was rank 10 because rank 7 alone was already wielding power capable of destroying an entire city.
Rank 8 to rank 9… might even be enough to destroy an entire country.
Thus, people were afraid of any people with this rank appearing in the future. Even if they didn’t say it outright, some discussion still take place from time to time.
Kyle and Kate knew that.
So they never disclosed the fact that Kate was already rank 8 in her reverse healing ability. The range she could reach by now was already more than 50km…. Though, she was still learning to differentiate the creature at further distance.
After all, Kate didn’t want to accidentally kill a person because of this extremely powerful ability of hers.
“I don’t know either.” General Ryan waved his hand. “I already informed the others. Their representative will come tomorrow, so you better not go around and take more mission.”
“I won’t.” Kyle’s lips twitched.
They were all staying holed in City E by now.
Even if there were still some fights, it was nothing more than those boring ones at the city wall. There hadn’t been any interesting battles he could participate in lately, so Kyle had been thinking of sneaking out of the city.
With Kate’s teleportation, they could easily get out of the city anyway.
“Maybe there’s someone from White Family you have meet but didn’t know?” Kate quietly asked from the side.
Kyle tilted his head and nodded. “Perhaps.”
He didn’t like to go around and ask people about their surname. It would be useless to ask either as he was not completely familiar with those people of powerful family.
“Let’s go back and have some rest.”
“Mhm.”
“Do you want more milk? I can make another glass for you.”
“I’m not a kid, Kyle. I don’t need to drink milk.”
The two of them walked out of the office and General Ryan shook his head yet there was a hint of smile in his eyes. Watching his own son happily staying with Kate like this also made him happy.
The only trouble was that Professor Kinsley kept on banging his door, asking for Kate to spend more time in the Research Institute with her parents.
Now that everyone basically knew that Kate Kinsley is a reverse healer, Professor Kinsley’s status had elevated. A lot of people were trying their best to connect with him and the military was hell bent on protecting him.
Thus, there will definitely some friction between Kate’s Father and Kyle almost every single day.
It was a truly interesting sight.
…
The next day, the group had no other choice but to gather together again because of this sudden mission.
Kate was staying with her parents last night, which made Kyle a bit annoyed. But Kate’s Father’s excellent excuse was that the two of them were not married yet, so it was not suitable for them to stay together all the time.
In the end, Kyle could only return empty handed.
Of course, he came to the Research Institute very early in the morning to take his girlfriend with him.
“It’s only 6 AM, Kyle.” Kate’s Father looked at the young man in front of him with black face. Even if he used to wake up earlier, he didn’t want to be disturbed by this annoying young man, okay?
Thinking about his little cabbage that was being nibbled by this pig, Kate’s Father was even more annoyed.
Kyle only looked at Kate’s Father apologetically, but his stance was clear.
He will not leave without taking Kate with him.
“Kate is not awake yet. She’s not used to wake up early in the morning unless she had class.” Kate’s Father rolled his eyes but he had no other choice but to let Kyle came in.
The Research Institute had been refurbished and changed slightly. At this time, there were more rooms so that the professors could have separate room from their lab. Their dormitory was located in the building next to the Research Institute.
One of the reasons to make a separate dormitory was for the sake of safety and confidentiality.
After all, there were some research that might not be convenient to be disclosed to the public.
