*Bam!*

Sofia launched a surprise attack, trying to test Kai's strength. She shook her head after feeling that her attack hit him. "It seems you are still so-so…"

"So-so?" Kai's cold voice resounded in her ears.

"!!!" She immediately looked up and realized that Kai actually stopped her full power with his right palm.

Kai looked down on her left hand along with her feet and noticed a few thin metals. All of the white metals were connected to a small circle right on her chest.

'So, this is the rumored Exoskeleton… I heard that she doesn't have strength, but that punch alone makes my hand numb…' Kai thought for a moment and took a deep breath.

"To think your reaction speed is this good as we—puah!" She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen before she flew away. In the air, she realized Kai just kicked her.

*Bam!*

She only stopped because there was a wall behind her… Luckily, she managed to react earlier and summoned the Exoskeleton around her abdomen, preventing all the attacks from going through her body.

Kai suddenly appeared in front of her and pointed his sword at her.

"So, why are you following me?"

"First of all, do you not have a courtesy? To think you raise your hand on a delicate woman like me…" Sofia said softly while trying to regain her breathing.

"Hmm? Said someone who punched me earlier… That force alone would blow me away further than you." Kai narrowed his eyes.

"It was only a test. You could react to that punch, right?" She made a weird smile.

"Then, my kick was also a test… Unfortunately, it seems Gemini is so-so." Kai shook his head in disappointment.

"…" Sofia became speechless. All her words backfired at this moment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Still, shouldn't you treat a woman delicately? Are you really a man?"

"I am a man that knows what to do in a certain situation. I won't hesitate to kill a woman or a child if necessary, let alone you." Kai snorted.

Sofia's face was distorted. She quickly snarled. "I am still a representative from EU Base, you know."

"I am also US Base's representative. Besides, I only know that the EU Base's representative will only come in two days, according to the contract." Kai shrugged.

"You—!" Sofia was utterly destroyed in this exchange.

"So, why are you following me?" Kai asked with a cold tone.

"I don't want to answer." Sofia looked away and crossed her arms. "You have kicked me… Who knows what injury I need to bear if my reaction speed is not fast enough."

"And do you think I will let you escape?"

"I can just scream, telling those people outside that a man wants to rape me. Although polygamy is legal, it doesn't mean rape is not a crime. Besides, it will surely become big news if you are the man who is trying to rape me." Sofia grinned slyly, thinking she had won.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Kai smirked as he stroked something in his pocket.

"!!!" Sofia realized she had been had after she saw a camera on top of his pocket. "You are a devil."

Kai didn't have a change of expression and said, "I am a simple high school student… Who is a bit more careful than others."

Sofia gulped down and thought about snatching it, but remembering his reaction speed, he would probably dodge her. In the end, she decided to surrender. "Fine! I lose. You can ask me three questions… After that, I won't answer you no matter the consequence."

Kai furrowed his eyebrows, wondering whether she told the truth or not. However, he still proceeded with his question. "First question. Why are you following me?"

"I am interested in you as soon as I see you on the news. I felt that you are different from other people, and I am right… You are really different because you are a bad guy, a devil… I like it though…" She looked away.

"Second question. Why are you coming to this place earlier than the contract? I am sure that there are many discussions about me even in the EU Base, right?" Kai narrowed his eyes and made a peace sign with his left hand.

"It's true that there are many talks about inviting you to the EU Base. But I am coming here not related to that. I am simply curious about you and want to test you personally."

"Then last question. Are there any people with you?" Kai raised three fingers.

"Yes, one."

"Is it a man?"

"It's already the fourth question… But I think I can answer it for free. No, I am coming here with a female. Or are you jealous if I come here with a man?" She smiled seductively and circled her hands on his neck.

"Nope." Kai shrugged before looking at her hands as he remembered the woman that walked beside her a few days ago and realized it was her. "Last question…"

"Oi… I have said that I won't answer any more questions. You sure are greedy." She pouted.

"Nah… It's just a simple question. I am sure you can… No, you will answer it." Kai said with confidence.

"Ho? Ask me then." She smirked.

"If I say 'Begone thot', what will you do?" Kai said with a serious expression as if he meant it.

"…" Sofia blinked a few times as she thought she heard the wrong question. However, Kai's serious expression told her that she heard him right. She gritted her teeth before calming her heart down and smiling seductively. "I will then use my power to change the 'go' into 'mi' and have you said Be mine thot… I don't mind if you call me that way, even if it pains me. After all, there is no pain greater than the process of becoming a Zodiac."

This time, it was Kai's turn to be speechless. He would never expect that this woman was so shameless. He thought for a moment, grabbed her hands, and released it from his neck. "You can go then."

"You are really a better man than I have expected." She chuckled before she left by leaping to the top of the building. "Let us meet again, Leo. No, Kai Carter."

Without wasting a single second, she already arrived at the roof.

"Fufu, even if he let me go, he is still holding his communication device. It will be bad if he has it because he can use it against me. That's why I snatch it…" She grinned as she tried to grab the thing in her pocket, only to find it was empty.

Sofia abruptly stopped as she checked all over her body and realized that she didn't have the communication device. "He… Bastard!"

On the other hand, Kai sighed and looked at his communication device in his hand. "Idiot. I can still hear you too, or are you trying to make me mad? Anyway, now I know that there seem to be two parties that come to this place. Although I have yet to confirm if the hotel staff is really a spy or something, I need to be wary against them."

He put the communication back into his pocket, came out of the dark alley and went back to the girls.

"Have you finished your date?" Michelle asked casually.

Kai widened his eyes in surprise. "Did you see it?"

"No. I just saw that you were pursuing a woman earlier." She shrugged.

"…" Kai sighed and told the truth.

Michelle and the others furrowed their eyebrows when they heard this matter.

"Tasha. We have been neutral in the past few months. Do you think it is possible to create an alliance for this?" She glanced at Tasha with a cold tone.

"No need to say it. Even if I am at war with you, we can." Tasha nodded a few times.

"Then, I think our next action has been decided."

"Yeah. She could even call herself a thot��� This might be a powerful opponent." Tasha narrowed her eyes.

"I think it's fine to give her a chance. My case is the same after all." Ayaka sighed. "I was immature back then and could only become his burden."

Michelle and Tasha dragged her away, leaving Kai alone.

"First of all, she said that she would change the 'go' to 'mi'. It means she is going to haunt Kai like crazy like she said she would change begone thot to be mine thot. Isn't she a pervert?" Michelle gritted her teeth.

"That's right. If we let her do whatever she wants, there is a possibility of Kai going to the EU Base. Even if he is not, are you sure you can do it with a pervert? I am asking you about the future."

"Like I said, I was also such a case. If not because of his kindness, I wouldn't be here by his side." Ayaka sighed.

"You are different. At the very least, you were useless, not a pervert." Michelle rebuked her.

"Ugh. Now that you say it, it really hurts." Ayaka looked away.

"I said with the past tense since you are not right now."

"Then, isn't it also possible for her too?" Ayaka tilted her head in confusion. "I could change my characters means she also can."

Michelle and Tasha started losing in arguments before Michelle thought of another thing. "There are already four women in his heart, if we add another more, it will be harder to have time with him."

"That…" Ayaka looked down, finally getting baited. "I still think I will let Kai decide. As long as her personality can change, I think I will be fine."

Michelle and Tasha looked at each other, wondering how they should persuade Ayaka. After thinking for a while, they couldn't come up with a single idea and decided to retreat. "We will talk about it again in the future."
