Chapter 161
161 Explain
Kate knew that it was really difficult to accept.
She turned back into a child in front of her parents and her mother hugged her, crying once again. She said with distressed tone that she felt the cat was familiar, but she couldn’t pinpoint why.
Whenever the cat was coming to see her, Kate’s Mother would like her very much. In the past, no matter how much she liked a cat, she had never felt strongly like this, which was why she felt that it was quite odd.
Now seeing that the cat was actually her daughter, Kate’s Mother was even more distressed. She felt so bad that her daughter had to turn into a cat in this kind of situation.
“Mom, I’m fine. I’m also very strong now.” Kate grinned. “I’m even much stronger than that acclaimed Mr. Strongest!”
“Can you use your ability even in the human’s form?” Kate’s father asked.
“Huh? Yeah.” Kate nodded. She then looked at her father with strange expression when she recalled that he was a researcher. “You’re not planning on doing research on your own daughter, are you, Dad?”
With that question said, Kate’s Mother even glared at her husband. If he dared to harm their daughter, she would be the first to stand on his opposite side. There was no way that she would allow him to touch her daughter!
“No!” Kate’s Father yelled. There was no way he would want to do any kind of test on his own daughter. No matter how much he was tempted because of his profession and also his passion, he would never be able to do it to his own daughter.
.....
“Anyway, I can beat Dad easily.” Kate was smug. “Dad is only rank 4 but I’m already rank 6. You won’t be able to defeat me.”
“Rank 6? So fast,” Kate’s Father murmured in shock.
Even Mr. Yuri had only reached rank 5 not long ago and it was estimated that he will take a long time before he could reach rank 6. At least, a few more months in accordance to their slow down speed because of the huge energy consumption needed.
But his daughter was already rank 6.
Was her talent really that good?
Kate’s Father was conflicted. “Don’t showcase your power so easily.”
“I won’t. I only tell Mom and Dad so that you wouldn’t worry about me when I go out.” Kate grinned, reassuring her parents.
“Go out?” Kate’s Father’s eyes narrowed. “Are you not going to stay with us at the research facility?”
“And become the test subject?” Kate shook her head. Even though she knew that her father would never allow her to become the test subject, it was inevitable that there would be others who were dissatisfied.
She didn’t want to face those kind of annoying moral kidnapping. If those researchers were truly so kind, they should just use their own family members rather than coercing others.
Anyway, it hadn’t happened and she hoped that it would never happen.
“I’m going to stay by Kyle’s side as Little Kitty. In any case, the body I used so far is his cat.” Kate grinned. “Oh... don’t tell him that I’m Kate yet... I’m going to tell him about it myself later.”
Kate’s Mother still felt distressed and hugged her daughter tightly. If only it was possible, she wished to keep Kate by her side and made sure that she’s safe. “When did you manage to turn back into human?”
“After that ants extermination mission. It’s due to a special gem that we found there.” Kate looked at her father and saw that he was interested. “But I don’t have any of those gems anymore, so I can’t give it to you, Dad.”
“I know.”
Kate’s Father was looking at his daughter. For so many years, he had been trying to put down his work and spend more time with his family, hoping that his daughter would never be dragged to his world.
But then the world changed, mutation happened, and countless giant mutated animals went on rampage. At this moment, Kate’s Father knew that it would be impossible for him to hide his real position from his daughter and let her live a peaceful life.
“So, can Dad tell me why Kyle know more about you?”
“I used to be a good researcher and had some result. I also worked with the military and that’s when I see your professor.” Kate’s Father looked at Kate and sighed. “I never planned to tell you and let you think that I’m just a little worker with plants.”
Kate pursed her lips.
Yeah, right.
Kate’s Mother looked at her daughter and sighed. “But you’re staying with him all the time, is it not troubling him?”
Troubling Kyle?
Kate thought about it and struggled to answer. It was indeed troubling him, but she didn’t want to just leave like that. She felt comfortable and save around Kyle as if she knew that he would definitely protect her.
But was she only troubling him when she was latching on him as his little cat?
Kate didn’t know.
Kate’s Mother smiled knowingly when she saw the little girl’s troubled expression. Even though she wanted her daughter to stay in the safe place by her side, she knew that she couldn’t protect her daughter forever. Just like her husband, her daughter can be quite stubborn when she had made some decision.
“Alright, you can stay with him. But try to contact us from time to time, ok?”
“Yes!” Kate nodded her small head.
Seeing Kate’s small form, Kate’s Mother’s hand trembled. In the end, she didn’t resist and hugged her daughter deeply!
Ah, how much she had wanted to have a granddaughter!
Kate’s father watched from the side and rubbed his nose. Why did he feel as if his carefully raised cabbage is going to be stolen by a pig?
Even though Kate didn’t want him to tell Kyle yet, Kate’s Father had the feeling that the young man had already known. Thus, it was time for him to have some talk.
