Chương 274: Underhanded (II)...

[POV Nemuri]

Hehe… this is so fucking easy… hehehe, I should have done this before. I slowly crept into Lawrence Wilkins's house, he was a proud owner of 5% of the shares of Rand Enterprises.

He was a fucked up prick and I picked him up as my first target because no one will miss him. His wife would have missed him if she wasn't riding her neighbor while Wilkins was here, snoring like a pig in his house but I am pretty sure that she will miss the money.

He owned a lot more than 5% but I am a generous Fox, so, I graciously bought them from him during the economic collapse. After all, he needed money to continue frolicking with prostitutes and he needed to pay the installments for the Cayman Islands he had bought for me… well, they were mine, he didn't know that, yet.

Don't worry Wilkins, after I kil… no, after I send you to your next Great Adventure, I will take care of your island too, after all, never decline gifts of goodwill. I am the Fox of generosity… What?! I am generous to myself, never said that I am generous to other people.

I casted a body bind and a silencing charm on Wilkins who was still in his dreamland. Thankfully he was covered by his duvet…I shot a stinging curse towards his crotch… well, where I thought his crotch should have been. His eyes flew open really wide…I could see the pain in his eyes… looks like I hit the bullseye!!

He finally noticed me and his eyes were now filled with fear. I pulled out some documents from my handbag. "Imperio" I said and Wilkins's eyes got glazed.

"Wilkins be a good boy and sign these papers with the above-mentioned date" I said and handed him the documents and a pen. Wilkins signed the papers with a smile on his face. I had already used magic to change the dates so no one could say that I am the one who killed him… the papers were dated two months ago.

"Good boy! Now, why don't you write a suicide letter, mentioning that you found your wife getting humped by your neighbor and you decided to off yourself? Oh… and don't use the words I just said… use words that would even make Jesus proud of you" I said and Wilkins nodded.

I quickly got out of the house but not before casting a life-sensing charm on Wilkins. As soon as he offs himself I would get notified. I looked at the papers and a bright smile appeared on my face… now, I owned 35% of the shares like those Joint CEOs… I could already feel that the next meeting would be more awesome.

Now, I needed to visit one more place before I could call it a night… my smile widened when I felt Wilkins's life sign disappear, and with that, I also disappeared…

[POV Reo]

"Reo, let me help you with the food" Ororo said and pecked me on the lips.

"Yeah sure, you can cut the vegetables" I said with a smile and resumed frying the bacon. Even though I was frying the bacon, I kept watching Ororo, an old memory suddenly surfaced in my mind… it was our first date.

~FLASHBACK~

"So, are you ready to go?" I asked Ororo who was fiddling with her cargo shorts. She was wearing a half-sleeve yellow t-shirt. 'I LOVE GREEN' was printed on the front of her t-shirt.

"Oh… yes" Ororo said and checked me out. I was wearing a brown jogger and a half-sleeved black t-shirt. Ororo had told me to wear clothes that would be nice for a walk. I still had no idea where she wanted to take me though.

"It looks like you approve?" I asked her in a teasing manner. Ororo simply smiled and didn't say anything. She took out a metal ball from her pocket.

"So, where is this portkey going to take us?" I asked Ororo who shook her head.

"You can find out after we arrive there" Ororo said and extended her hand towards me. I smirked and took her hand. Ororo said the activation word and with a familiar tug around my navel, I was whisked away along with Ororo.

I found myself in the middle of a forest… I spread out my senses but didn't found any humans nearby. Oh… I did find some humans but they were gathered in a single spot and they were quite far from here. Though I did find a lot of animals around us.

"So, do you like it?" Ororo asked me in an excited tone.

"There is nothing to not like" I said with a smile. I still had no idea where I was… at least this wasn't Africa, that much I knew.

"Let's go for a walk" Ororo said and I happily agreed. I felt somewhat weird here because of the lack of metals around me. Though I didn't mind it much… it was just slightly weird.

Both Ororo and I walked through the forest while talking about several things like our childhood. I told her how I grew up but didn't give her much information about other worlds. She told me about the struggles she faced in her childhood.

Throughout our walk, we saw different kinds of animals nothing dangerous though. Well, there are no animals that could be a danger to me anymore. We saw a group of Elks and Pronghorns. Ororo wanted to pet them but they didn't seem to appreciate Ororo's wish.

"So, did you decipher where we are?" Ororo asked me. I have no idea if this an important place to her or not.

"Um… sorry. When it comes to forests I kind of lack all the knowledge" I said in a slightly sheepish tone.

"Luna said that you won't know" Ororo said and started to giggle. I simply pouted…

"Fine, go on keep laughing on my lack of knowledge on forests" I whined and continued pouting.

"Ah… so cute, sorry. For future reference we are currently in Yellowstone National Park" Ororo said, when she called me cute it hurt my manly ego and I won't accept such an insult.

"I am not cute I am manly" I said proudly and puffed out my chest.

"Well, that you are, no arguments there" Ororo accepted with a smile on her face. Even though she was smiling I knew that she wasn't making fun of me… she genuinely believed that.

We spent the whole day roaming in the forest hand in hand. We did return to Elysium once for some food then I Apparrated back with her. We did see a pair of Bobcats sleeping on a tree branch just before we ended our date.

We had a lot of fun there… we clicked a lot of pictures. When we finally returned Ororo gave me a hot and steamy kiss before walking away to her own room. Yeah, I kind of liked that.

~FLASHBACK ENDS~

"Oh hey, the Quibbler's here" Ororo said and brought me out of my thoughts. Even though we all lived with Luna she denied showing us her papers before she started sending them out.

"Oh, the people who were working with Ross and experimenting on Banner are being put on a trial" Ororo read out loud. Oh… I did know about this but because of Dora I already knew that the trial was going to be a farce.

I have received their full plan from Dora, first, they were going to hold this farce of a trial then they were going to transfer all these men and women to a secured facility in Colorado and wait for the heat to dissipate.

So, after a couple of months, all of these men and women were going to be put under something similar to Witness Protection Act and they would be given new identities. Quite a brilliant plan but I am going to kill all of them while they are in Colorado.

While they were in Colorado their task was to recreate the Super Soldier Serum, Banner, Blonsky, and Turner were injected with. Humans are never going to change… I could have hunted down all these people easily but I thought that I should give humans a chance.

But here we were once again humans giving in to their greed and their delusions of superiority. They still can't accept that there are humans out there who are superior to them. After coming to Elysium, meta-humans haven't caused a single incident in human territories but humans still want to control meta-humans.

So, let it be if humans don't understand that they need to back off then I will play their game too but before I could do that I needed to get stronger. I have gotten a lot stronger in this one and a half years but I know that I still had a long way to go.

'Good… and I hope that you find all the answers quite soon' Luna's words rang inside my head once again. I have no idea what Luna meant from those words but since Luna said them, they definitely mean something.

"Ororo, hand me the vegetables" I said to Ororo and she handed me the chopped vegetables. Before I could become unmatched in the Omniverse I needed to finish cooking breakfast… I have to keep my priorities in check…
