Chapter 91

The House Cat Turns into a Angry Lion

Fortunately, this eerie atmosphere did not last too long.

"Riley, are you alright? I think I heard gunshots over here?"

As mentioned before, the sudden gunshots alerted the others who were already searching for the intruder nearby.

Even the black cat, whose physical abilities had been enhanced, rushed over immediately upon hearing the sound without a second thought.

Only when they reached the entrance of the medical room and saw with their own eyes that Riley seemed unharmed except for being a little dirty did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"It was just a minor accident. You've come at the right time; I've found those two astronauts, and they need someone to lend a hand..."

"boom--!"

Unfortunately, Black Cat wasn't the only one drawn by the gunshots.

The invaders, who were collecting TiO2, also heard the continuous gunshots. Mistaking them for military personnel who had arrived at the scene so quickly, and in order to suppress news of TiO2, they went so far as to execute the severely injured astronaut on the spot to silence him!

As a result, the intruder, whose mind was not very sharp to begin with, immediately lost his composure.

After hurriedly stuffing the TiX element into his suitcase, he began to run at full speed, ready to force his way out.

By a twist of fate, after crashing through the wall, he ended up right behind Riley!

In comparison to his size, it's quite a strange feeling, like you're walking along the road when suddenly a hundred-ton king appears and claims it's time for Riley to be reincarnated into another world!

Of course, Riley's spider-sense had already detected his presence before he even appeared. Not to mention, after being greatly enhanced by the system, Riley's speed had reached the level of a human high-speed train.

Therefore, whether she directly confronts the enemy and showcases pure numerical beauty, or easily dodges attacks with the graceful movements she learned from Uncle Jackie, the intruder's sudden attack poses no threat to Riley.

Unfortunately, while Riley could indeed easily deal with intruders, "Railley Parker" shouldn't have such performance capabilities.

This led to Riley instinctively reaching out, intending to use his strength and speed to instantly kill the intruder who was willingly offering himself up, when he suddenly remembered that there was a black cat watching him.

After his eyes darted around for a moment, Riley subtly activated the power of the Chicken Talisman, controlling the intruder—who was only focused on escaping the spaceship and didn't care about the life or death of the seriously injured astronaut, and whose large foot was about to step on him—to change direction and crash directly into Riley. Meanwhile, Riley's mouth gaped open, and in that brief instant, he displayed Oscar-worthy acting skills, pretending to be caught off guard and getting solidly hit by the intruder.

The next second, Riley, who appeared to be knocked away by the intruder, actually jumped backward on his own initiative before the collision. And during this process, he didn't forget to secretly activate his bioelectric ability to give the intruder a little "surprise." Riley crashed through the spaceship's wall and flew backward "uncontrollably"!

"Riley—!"

All of this happened so fast that even Black Cat, who had been enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, didn't have time to make any rescue attempt. He could only watch helplessly as Riley, like a rag doll, was knocked far away and instantly disappeared from sight.

When the black cat came to its senses and looked at the tall figure standing there dumbfounded, scratching its head, it mistakenly thought Riley was dead. Its eyes reddened, and it pounced. Activating its suit's mechanisms and revealing its sharp claws, it showed no mercy, stabbing fiercely at the intruder's eyes!

Fortunately, although the intruder wasn't very bright, its will to survive was still very strong. When it saw the black cat, this "crazy woman" who appeared out of nowhere, trying to gouge out its eyes, it was so frightened that it instinctively raised its hands, along with its suitcase, to block its face, the only part of its body not covered by gray skin and still retaining human features.

This resulted in the black cat's angry attack failing to severely injure the intruder. Instead, it became deeply entangled inside the metal briefcase. For a moment, unable to free its arm, it found itself in an awkward predicament, unable to move forward or backward.

Of course, given the intruder's single-minded nature, it's clear they wouldn't show mercy to the black cat just because it's beautiful.

After regaining his senses, the black cat's sudden attack completely enraged the intruder.

Reaching out, the intruder gripped the black cat's ankle tightly. While holding the cat horizontally in front of him, raising it above his head, the intruder stood on one leg and raised the other.

Get ready to give this wild little cat a taste of a comminuted spinal fracture, just like Bane from the movie next door!

"Hey buddy, that was brutal. Don't you know what it means to be gentle with a woman?"

At this critical moment, accompanied by a nonchalant and witty remark, a spider silk swiftly flew in and accurately struck the intruder's head.

With the sudden burst of terrifying strength, the intruder, who was already standing on one leg, couldn't even hold on for a second before swaying and collapsing backward!

Along with the briefcase containing the chromium X element and the black cat she was holding, the intruder threw them into the air without hesitation because of the muscle memory that always makes her want to reach out for support when she loses her balance!

The one who appeared in time to save the day was Riley, who pretended to be outmatched and was knocked away by the intruder, then took the opportunity to put on the Spider-Man suit.

To prevent their appearances from being too coincidental, Riley even took a detour and emerged from the large hole previously created by the intruders.

This led to the bizarre scene where Riley, who was knocked away head-on by the intruder, appeared from behind the intruder like a ghost and slammed the intruder to the ground.

Meanwhile, after escaping the intruders' control.

Even though Riley deliberately didn't step forward to help in order to avoid suspicion and reduce the chances of his identity being discovered.

The agile black cat can adjust its posture before landing and land lightly on the ground.

But at this moment, the black cat's first reaction was not to feel fortunate or fearful for having escaped unscathed.

Instead of trying to pull his hand out of the suitcase, he simply stopped trying.

He jumped directly towards the fallen intruder, stepped on the intruder's chest, gritted his teeth, and swung his fist, which was covered by a metal briefcase, as if wearing a large boxing glove, and began to smash the intruder's head again and again without mercy!

Riley, who was also holding a grudge against the intruder's reckless actions and was about to step in to finish him off, couldn't help but swallow hard after witnessing how the docile little house cat transformed into an enraged lioness.

Oops... Oh no, it seems we've gone a bit too far.

No wonder my uncles always taught me in my past life that you should never mess with an angry woman...

If Black Cat knew that what just happened was a sign of distrust, that he was acting and deceiving her...

The black cat, in its anger, might attack itself too...?

Just as Riley was thinking this, whether it was telepathy or he was tired from fighting, he didn't know.

The black cat suddenly stopped what it was doing and slowly raised its head to look at Riley in front of it.

The inexplicably oppressive figure, coupled with the metal briefcase that had been severely twisted and deformed from the continuous beatings, sent a shiver down Riley's spine.

Involuntarily taking a few steps back, Riley quickly hugged her "weak, helpless, and pitiful" self, and called out with obvious guilt.

"Um... well..."

"If you hit him, you can't hit me anymore, okay...?!"
