Chapter 430 Falling Deeper into the Pit of Love
Jack went ahead and changed into a white and blue checkered long-sleeved t-shirt, and a pair of fitting blue jeans. As for his feet, he donned a pair of white sneakers.
Currently, his hair was not that long, so he did not need much maintenance. Since he was done, he stepped out of his bedroom, and found that Celine was waiting for him.
Upon noticing that Jack had finally completed his preparations, she urged anxiously, "Let's get going already! You know, by staying here, you are risking those unscrupulous people doing something to aunt. If that happens, I will never forgive myself."
Jack looked at her strangely and asked, "Isn't it supposed to be the other way round? Should you not say that if anything happens to Aunt, then, you will never forgive me?"
"Currently, I do believe that I have the capabilities of dealing with that group. If they are just as strong as Samantha is currently, with my new strength, even if they possess incredible equipment it will not be difficult for me to deal with them one by one." Celine replied as she flexed her muscles.
Well, even though she was not muscular, but at least, after she had been strengthened, her body figure had been enhanced. Currently, her figure was more captivating than ever before. Just from looking at her from a far, a man's heart could be captured.
Of course, Jack was proud of this. The more beautiful his girlfriend became, the proud he would be in front of other men. After all, what kind of man would not be happy if his wife was outstanding in front of a group of beauties? How was he not supposed to brag in front of others that he had managed to get the most beautiful lady there ever was?
When Celine noticed that Jack's gaze was fixated on her figure, she could not help but blush a little. But of course, the shyness only appeared for a little while before it completely disappeared.
'Anyway, what am I shy about? Jack is my fiancé. If I am shy in front of him, then, in front of whom am I supposed to be bold?' Celine thought to herself as she puffed her chest out proudly. She was happy that Jack was also fascinated by her figure.
Looking at the mischievous gaze that he was receiving from Celine, Jack could only shake his head a little. This girl was actually trying to tempt him, but, he was not going to fall into temptation. At least not for now as they currently had something else to deal with.
"Let's get going. Or do you perhaps want something to happen to Aunt?" Jack asked as he wrapped his hand around Celine's waist before pulling her as they headed towards the entrance.
The little confidence that Celine had managed to build up was immediately crushed by Jack's bold actions. Nevertheless, she did not struggle out of his hands, but, followed him outside with her head leaning on his shoulder.
After they arrived outside the Villa, they found that Samantha was already waiting for them. It was clear that she had already been informed about what was happening by Celine.
Jack left the two girls as they began chatting with each other, and headed towards the garage. There, he took out the car that he had been rewarded with by the system. This was the car that he was intending to drive towards the location that he had been informed about the groups whereabouts.
Jack then drove the car to the front of the villa, before both Celine and Samantha boarded the car. Then, driving slowly, Jack finally managed to get out of the serenity residential area.
The moment that happened, the car suddenly increased its speed. It's movements were so fast that, all those that were being overtaken on the road only suddenly heard a whoosh sound and a blurry figure rushing past them.
Even though it was true that the vehicles that Jack's Future Techs had released into the market had incredible speed, but, the speed at which the cars were being driven depended on the handler and traffic rules.
As for him, what traffic police was capable of catching up to him? He was sure that they were not going to be capable of knowing who he was considering that, the car did not even have a registration number plate.
Currently, Jack was able to drive the car at an even faster speed than before. He had already become a superhuman, and he was rushing towards the area that the puppets were waiting for him.
Of course, as he left, he did not instruct the other puppets to leave. Instead, he left them to continue protecting the people that he cared about. He was not sure if this was going to be the last group that he was supposed to face.
Additionally, he was not facing just the Panthers organization, but instead, there was yet another stronghold that he knew nothing of, that Alicia belonged to. So just as a precaution, he left the puppets for the protection.
Previously, even though they were protecting Celine, they only protected her from physical attacks. Moreover, during the time that Celine was being controlled by Alicia, the puppets did not know that Celine was currently in danger.
For that reason, although they were able to protect her if there was anybody that tried attacking her, since Alicia did not attack Celine physically, the puppets did not make any move.
But, it was completely different now. Currently, the puppets already knew who the target was. So, the moment that Alicia appeared, they were going to take action. Moreover, they were completely impervious to the mind control ability that Alicia possessed.
Since they were not human, and neither did they possess any emotions, there was no way that Alicia was going to be capable of controlling them. In fact, the puppets did not have a mind of their own.
Inside the car, Jack looked at Celine and said, "I have been keeping something from you all this while. Now, since we are going to get married soon, I'm going to reveal to you something. But, I will not lie to you that I will be telling you everything. There are some things that I cannot tell you as of now."
Celine looked at Jack confusedly at first. But, in the next moment, she became excited. Of course, she already knew that Jack was hiding something from her. The way that he managed to get all the wealth that he was currently possessing, how he was able to get to the superhuman level without even her noticing it, and so on.
She had always been curious about this. But, since Jack did not say anything about the matter, she did not ask. She believed that Jack was going to tell her if he wanted to. And, it seemed that this was the time that he had decided to reveal everything to her.
She looked at Jack with a sweet smile on her face. Even if Jack was going to still maintain some secrets from her, she was not going to complain. At least, he had already told her that he was still keeping something from her.
And since that was the case, that implied that Jack was having plans of revealing the information about the secrets in the future. Love was supposed to be built on a foundation of trust. So, for Jack to trust her and tell her something that he had been keeping from her, that implied that, his love for her was real.
Even though she felt that the love was real, but still, him proving it was something that made her excited. So, she looked at Jack curiously, waiting for him to speak.
"You know, currently, I possess an ability. This ability of mine is kind of strange and at the same time, mystical. This is something that has enabled me to get to the level that I currently am in." Jack stated as he continued to drive.
Finally, Celine began getting the answer that she had been looking for. She had grown up together with Jack for many years. And during all those years, she had never seen some of the abilities that he currently possessed.
Even though she previously believed that he might have learned them during the time that they had been separated, she knew it in her heart that it was completely impossible to master all those skills to his current level in less than 5 years.
"I have an ability to learn something at 100 times faster speed as compared to ordinary people. Additionally, if I train, I will be able to receive results 100 times faster than others." Jack revealed the new things that had been revealed by the system to him after the upgrade.
Celine's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. She did not believe that an ability like the one that Jack was mentioning actually existed. She looked at him, trying to see if he was joking, but, looking at the serious expression on his face, she knew that he was serious.
"H-how does it work?" Since Jack was serious about what he was saying, then, she believed that what he had said was true. But, she just wanted to understand the mechanisms on how everything worked.
"I don't really know how to explain that. So, currently, I have a single spot that I can give to someone to have the same experience as me. So, I'm going to give it to you so that you can experience it yourself." Jack replied.
Of course, he himself had not tested anything out yet. So, there was no way that he was going to give his experience on something that he had not even done, and had never seen happening.
Celine's eyes shone with excitement. Her heart paused for a moment as she looked at Jack. Then, she found herself falling deeply in love than ever before. Even she herself did not believe that she was ever going to be capable of extracting herself out of this love.
Jack only possessed a single slot, and he had given her the slot. Even though he had already informed her that she was the only person that he really cared about the most, his actions were enough to make her eyes tear up a little.
'No matter what, I am never going to give up on this love. Jack loves me, and so will I love him. In fact, I will love him more than he loves me.' Celine swore in her heart.
With excitement, her chest was heaving up and down as she found it difficult to breathe. She looked at Jack and asked, "What am I supposed to do for it to work? I'm curious about this thing that was able to make you who you currently are."
