77 Chapter 77 - The real target

"Okay, ready,"

"Ready," Kang excitedly nodded. He had worn the black shirt, the hood, and the mask. None of his features were visible.

"Let's go then," Altren sneaked out of his room.

Kang ran after them like a scurrying rat.

He made sure to keep his footsteps as silent as he could. If by chance they got caught, he did not know what the punishments will be but he knew for sure his license will be prolonged.

That's not even the worst-case scenario.

The supers in the academy had serious doubts about his identity. If they caught him sneaking out of here, they will definitely capture him even try to integrate him using unimaginable torture method.

Kang gulped silently.

Altren suddenly held out his hand, stopping him.

"What is it?" he whispered close to his ear.

He pointed to the front door. it was not repaired and only a thin shower curtain was hung there. a translucent shadow was seen. "it's bad,"

"why...?"

"It's Eryst,"

Kang took a moment to even remember that name. it was none other than the white-haired woman who gave him a bitchy attitude.

'Fuck, why must it be her….. system, hey you awake or is your battery down already? Trashy system,'

{'System is online,'}

'Good, is there any article or anything in the store to put her to sleep? Oh, and find me a cheap product.'

{'searching through millions of products in the marketplace.... Ding,

Please chose host,}

Kang was quite overwhelmed by the amount of potion this system gave.

something was fishy about the system….

Usually, whenever he asked for help or anything, it will only give him a curt reply or a sassy one. But this time it actually provided him with useful intel.

Either way, he didn't have time to think about this.

Kang thought of his viable options.

First of all, he would not be able to use the sleeping pill. It was intravenous and he would have to get close to that frigid bitch. He did not want to do that. Nah ah. Never.

The second of all the smoke bomb would be a fucking blunder. If he tried to bomb this place, he will definitely be marked as terrorist and thrown in jail.

Only the hypnosis pendant seemed like a viable option.

'system what is my coin balance?'

{'coin balance- 2 coins.'}

Kang wanted to bang his head for even thinking about using the system market place, he was fucking broke. Virtually and in real life. He did not have cash and he refused to do target tasks.

Biting his lips, he peered at Altren. 'should I do the target task? It rewards 15 coins… I can but the hypnosis pendant….'

He hesitantly stood there watching Altren panic. That super woman was walking in the door towards their direction.

Kang silently cussed in his mind.

Altren leaned close and whispered, "retreat."

"no," he mouthed back.

He did not want to abort this mission. He wanted to leave.

'system, give me the target task right now!'

{' Target task: kiss the pain away'}

Kang scowled deeply. 'kiss what pain away. This fucker is like a rock. He is not hurt anywhere, you bastard! Why do you want me to kiss his ouchi!'

{....}

'so now you remain silent…'

He heard a small tapping sound of the heal getting closer.

He tightly grabbed Altren's hand. 'fine, ill do it my way.' He cupped the young superhero's mouth tightly and pinched his hand hard. He even went the extra mile to dig his nails in his skin.

Altren silently glared down at him.

'sorry fellow I have to kiss your pain away. This is the only way I can finish my task.'

He pulled Altren's hand which was clearly bleeding close to his face and kissed it.

Altren just gave him a weird look.

Kang blinked up at him.

The clicking sound of heal got dangerously close.

Altren suddenly grabbed him by his waist tightly and flew up. He pressed his back to the ceiling whilst having a form hold on Kang.

Kang was literally dangling upside-down from the ceiling. He could not even grab a hold of that fucking bozo behind him. 'ahhh don't drop me. I'm sorry for pinching you. I'm a young fellow who has so many things to live for….'

Eryst walked through the empty hallway without noticing their presence. Only after she entered the stairway leading to the first floor did Altren fly down.

Kang jumped off of him. "You ass. I felt like my stomach was going to roll out of my mouth you fucker….. you didn't have to do that for a fucking pinch."

Altren glanced behind and immediately cupped his mouth close.

The clicking sounds returned and this time the phase of her stride was faster.

Kang shrunk in Altren's embrace. 'system! System, get me the hypnosis pendant now!'

{insufficient coin balance… please try again later.'}

'What!!!! you fucker, I did my task!!!!'

{'target task completion status: incomplete.'}

'in.. incomplete? Oh you are ready to throw hands aren't you..'

Inside, he was really confused. 'Maybe I should have kissed him on the lips… fuck I hate this…'

He grabbed Altren's face and kissed him. it was just a peck.

'Now do it! Get me my pendant!'

{'Insufficient coin balance….'}

The sound of the heals got very close to them.

Kang held his breath.

"Eryst. You dared to return…" another voice interfered her stride.

This voice he recognized very well. it was Aaron.

"This is my academy as well. I have every right to return. Oh don't treat me like a criminal Aaron~" she walked away from them.

"Follow me. I have something to discuss,"

Kang poked his head out and watched as the white-haired superwomen follow after Aaron.

"Phew that was dangerous.. Why did you kiss me? Was it your dying wish? Kissing a handsome fellow?" Altren teasingly whispered.

Kang froze. 'System what is my coin balance?'

{'Coin balance- 2 coins'}

He felt his heart drop to his stomach. 'S-system.. who is my target character….'

{host target character- *****'}

Kang counted the number of asterisk. It was five. Altren has six digits in his name. then…

'oh, fucking shit… he is not my target character…. Aaron is!!!'
