Chapter 4: What Tricks Can a Little Kitty Have?
Since there's such a funny companion with him, they naturally had to walk back to the store. Fortunately, they were in the Brooklyn area, so it wasn't too far.
Oaks instructed the cat servant, Antonio, to go to his house primarily because of the injuries caused by Flerken "The Devourer". In the ordinary sense, those wounds wouldn't heal.
A certain Director should deeply understand this.
Although it was the cat servant's own fault, now that Goose was considered his cat, he felt responsible for it.
Moreover, Oaks was one of the few who could deal with injuries caused by the Devourer.
As for whether Goose would be dissatisfied...
In reality, this little cutie has a good temperament; it's just that it couldn't handle certain people's self-destructive tendencies.
"What should I call you?"
In this dangerous area, the probability of encountering danger would increase the more time they spend here.
"Um, my name is Antonio, a graduate student at Columbia University."
The bespectacled young man, Antonio, rubbed his still slightly sore nose and burning face, and his mouth twitched.
"... um, sir?"
Antonio, well, glanced enviously at Goose, who was quietly perched on Oaks' shoulder, but he didn't dare to fall behind. He understood the power of this neighborhood.
"How should I address you? "
"Oaks Woods."
"Oaks?? Oh, sorry..."
"Yes, O-a-k-s, Like the oak tree."
Oaks glanced at Antonio, whose face was slightly red.
Seeing Antonio scratching his head, Oaks asked again:
"Seems like you just arrived here as an international student? Why did you come to this area? Even the locals rarely come here unless it's necessary."
Ignoring the fact that he, a "local," appeared here, Oaks glanced at the corner ahead and smirked.
"You see, I'm quite surprised that you can safely venture so far into this area."
"Oh, I came by taxi, and the driver drove like a maniac. I almost threw up..."
Antonio looked bewildered as he raised his head.
"I just said I wanted to find a place with cheaper rent, and he brought me here…"
"Hmm? Are they here to find you, Mr. Oaks?"
'Can someone explain what's the deal with those menacing and fierce smiles on the faces of the approaching men?'
'Also, aren't the folding knives they have in their hands considered controlled weapons?'
"How much did you know about the security situation in New York before coming here?"
"Well... it's said that New York has the highest overall security level in the United States, but people on the forums say it's best not to go out at night and that it's relatively safe during the day."
"It's currently noon. So, do you think it's safe now?"
Oaks rubbed his chin. They were already two blocks away from Little Rainforest, and it seemed to be an area where a small gang was active.
That's why he usually came here in cat form, because it would be too much trouble just to clean up these scum.
The important thing was the impact on his mood.
As he could use his biological research to complement his abilities and make rapid progress in his own strength, so dealing with crime and such would just be a waste of his time.
He wasn't interested in being a moral police officer. He is busy with better things, like growing two trees.
"Mr. Oaks..."
Antonio was on the verge of tears. He trembled and tugged on Oaks' hoodie.
"Do you have any money with you?"
"I have a credit card."
Antonio fumbled and took out his Nokia phone, the throwing weapon that had dealt him a deadly blow not long ago.
"Then... Can we run away in time?"
"There are people behind us too."
Antonio turned his head with difficulty and wailed, "Mr. Oaks, I just wanted to rent a house!"
"Why didn't you stay in the school dormitory?"
Antonio trembled even more violently, and tears uncontrollably streamed down his face, out of anger.
"I wanted to, too! But I did not got a spot in the dormitory"
Oaks sighed.
There was no way around it. It seemed like they couldn't avoid trouble this time. But with Antonio around, he couldn't transform, so he had to resort to a little magic...
"Meow~"
Goose, who was lazily squatting on Oaks' shoulder, suddenly perked up.
The Devourer was very clever. It could accurately understand the meaning of human language. And after directly communicating with Oaks, who possessed nature's heart, Goose could easily sense his state of mind.
The guys in front of them were looking for trouble.
Oaks was in a dilemma because of the presence of this litter scooper. It wasn't easy for him to take action as a human. Humans are much more complicated than cats.
So, with the simple intention of sharing the worries of his new owner, Goose opened its mouth.
What bad intentions could a little kitty have?
It just wanted to help.
And so, Antonio felt like his values had suffered a devastating blow.
The scene was filled with ferocious tentacles that swept away the thugs in front of them.
Their fierce smiles froze on their faces.
They didn't even have a chance to shout "robbery" before bidding farewell to this terrifying world.
Antonio turned his neck stiffly with tears and snot streaming down his face. He was scared this time.
Yeah, the friends ahead were already taken care of, and the friends behind were also knocked down.
Ah, the friends behind them wailed in agony as they disappeared from view, rolling and crawling. The whole process didn't last more than five seconds.
So, the hero who saved him was...
"Meow~"
Goose licked its paw and was cleaning its face.
Its meaning was, "No big deal, no need to thank me."
Antonio's eyes were rolled back with his head tilted back and Oaks vaguely heard him collapse, his voice hoarse and barely audible.
Oaks covered his forehead, feeling a mix of emotions.
