Bullet sat cross legged in the Inferno Nexus Mansion's back yard. He could feel many changes to himself, but had a hard time comprehending all of them. It felt like his life itself had been extended and there was a strange sense of power flowing within himself. As much as he tried to understand everything it was hard for him to. As he cultivated he could feel the heat of his aura burning the air around him like a molten rock from a volcano. His fiery aura felt almost as if his power had taken steroids, but it was simply his natural aura. After his soul connected to Duan Cai's his cultivation level and his own aura's strength had risen drastically.
Is this because of what he did? Bullet thought to himself as he used his cultivation to probe deeper into his inner self. With his internal sight he could see and feel a change golden chain that was connected to him. It was giving off a powerful feeling that made him hesitate a moment before reaching out and grabbing it. The chain was piercing his chest and the moment he grabbed it he could feel a power surging from it that felt like a dragon itself was forcing him to submit. He could feel a powerful golden pair of eyes glaring straight at him from within his own inner self.
Breaking free from his cultivation he was breathing heavily to catch his breath from the fear of the beast's eyes he had just seen. He wanted to scream in frustration and confusion. There were so many things going through his mind that he could not stop at a single thought. He was sure the beast he had just seen in himself was not from himself, but something that had to do with Duan Cai. It looked and felt as if a dragon itself was lurking and spying on him from within himself.
What the hell was that? He thought to himself as he punched the ground hard to let out some of his frustration.
"You should learn to relax more, sweetheart." A female's voice said out of nowhere.
"Who-" He wanted to ask, but the girl quickly cut him off.
"You can call me Adele! Is it true that things on your end the baby boss know about as well?~" She said in a teasing voice as she walked over and quickly latched onto him from behind with a tight squeeze.
"What the hell?! Get off!" Bullet's face quickly flushed in embarrassment from the woman suddenly grasping him into her hug. He squirmed and tried to get her to remove herself from his back. Her chest was pressed so firmly against him that it was making him extremely uncomfortable and he could smell the heavy amount of alcohol that was enough to make someone feel sick.
"I just wanna know why he gets to run off to a bar and leave me here.. Should have taken me with him! Baby boss is so mean to me! ugh!" Adele went on frantically complaining about being left behind.
"Your problem has nothing to do with me! Get off!" Bullet managed to turn around just enough to shove at her just barely managing to escape her grasp. He was shocked at how strong the woman was compared to how delicate she looked at a glance, but his shock was still shattered with annoyance that she tried to throw herself at him again trapping him tightly in her arms the moment his guard slipped.
"Baby boss, next time take me with you!" Adele screamed in a pleading voice while grasping a tight hold on Bullet almost suffocating him in her chest like she often did when she could catch Duan Cai. She could practically imagine the lovable scent of alcohol she enjoyed so much as she thought of the bar in her mind.
Meanwhile across the city Duan Cai was riding in the back seat of his car while Leon drove as he got a sudden chill down his spine. Everything that Bullet was feeling emotionally in that moment was being sent straight to him and he could only imagine was terrifying thing Bullet was enduring. The very feelings being sent to him were so scattered that he could barely understand what was going on, but quickly recalled who was home at the mansion today that he left Bullet alone with.
"Sorry, sacrifices are sometimes needed.." He thought out loud as he imagined what terrible things Adele must be trying to do to Bullet at the moment to make him feel so uncomfortable.
"Did you say something, boss?" Leon asked while glancing at Duan Cai in the mirror.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it. I just recalled something and it was a terrifying thought I'd rather not recall it again." Duan Cai cleared his throat as he tried to wipe the thought of Adele from his mind to relax. At times he wondered why he bothered keeping her around himself considering how crazy she could easily get when it came to alcohol. Adele was a crazy alcoholic, but if one could look past that she was still very useful at Intel gathering when she was needed so he often would often send her out on missions just to get rid of her while making use of her at the same time. As he thought about it he wondered if he could think of another job to send her on to be rid of her for a while again but quickly shook the idea as he was not in the mood to deal with her issues at the moment. A strong flustered expression was on Duan Cai's face that made Leon want to press further but he refrained from doing so.
"We'll be there soon, boss." Leon simply stated trying to not pry in his boss's matters.
"Thank you, Leon. I wonder how Felix has been dealing with things on his end there. It's been a while since I've been back to The Sunny Wolf." Duan Cai smiled as he recalled his last visit had been a while back. He knew that Felix should be able to handle most things on his end at the bar so Duan Cai had no worries about leaving things in his capable hands. Since Duan Cai held full ownership he made sure to only hire someone he had faith in when it came to dealing with ants that wanted to cause him problems.
