"Alright beautiful what do you want, just say It and I will make It happen"
The tall and handsome hairdresser with clippers and comb in his hands said while flashing his best seductive smile.
After all, If he could score a rich beauty like her he would be set for life.
As for Dracula, he didn't pay him any mind because he automatically also identified him as a bodyguard.
I couldn't help but slightly grind my teeth at the hairdresser hitting on Hope and I knew very well why.
The truth was that I was actually a very possessive person and subconsciously I already considered Hope as mine.
It was f*cked up but then again I wasn't really that sane to begin with, sensing the hostility coming out from me the hairdresser got scared shitless.
"Just shorten my hair a little bit and repaint It with the same color and pattern"
Hope who contrary to my expectations was completely uninterested In the slim as a branch hairdresser said.
"Got It, mam"
As Hope leaned against the luxurious chair the dresser answered as he started working his magic.
The hairdresser was really a high-caliber one, Hopes hair got washed, trimmed, and died In just under 45 minutes.
"It looks good"
I commented with an approving nod as Hope checked herself In the mirror, although her hair was basically the same the slight trim and redied parts made her look even more attractive.
"Well, well, Mr steroids knows flattery?"
Hope said while grinning as she turned away from the mirror and walked with me to the cashier.
"What don't like It?"
I asked slightly Irritated as I placed a stack of bills on the counter.
"Did I say I don't like It?"
Hope asked as she spun In place causing her hair to flutter In the air.
"Whatever, so where next boss?"
I asked.
"Let's go and see"
Hope answered as we started navigating the mall until Hope's stomach started growling In protest, but luckily there was a high-end restaurant just around the corner.
"Hungry?"
I asked with a knowing smile, after all, I went through the same thing since I wasn't born after the gene resequencing became a thing.
So I also underwent genetic resequencing as an adult just like Hope unlike the ones who got their first Injection of the serum then they were still an embryo.
Allowing them to already be adjusted to their Increased appetite, stats, and senses.
"Yeah, I'm f*cking starving, let's go eat"
Hope said as she beelined straight to the restaurant.
The moment we sat down, Hope called over the waiter and started ordering dishes one after another.
The waiter barely managed to note It all down In time.
"Anything else mam?"
The waiter asked.
"No"
"And what will you be having sir?"
"The same she's having with 10 servings of every dish"
"The same with 10 ser..."
The waiter repeated to himself only to pause as he looked up at me with horrified eyes.
"T... Ten servings?!"
The waiter practically shrieked.
"Yeah is there a problem?"
I asked while leaning Into my chair as I looked at the waiter who subconsciously averted his eyes because of mine.
"No problem sir"
The waiter said as he quickly noted down my order and scurried back to pass It on.
It didn't take long before the food started arriving, and as It did we both dug In.
I and Hope were like black holes as we devoured the food so fast that by the time the waiter brought the next set of dishes our plates were already clean.
Crabs, lobsters, steak, and all kinds of other luxury dishes.
The other patrons couldn't help but look at us with disbelief as we finished our last dish.
"I think I'm gonna die"
Hope with a bulging stomach said as she leaned Into her extremely comfortable and luxurious chair.
"Don't worry you'll be hungry In a few hours again"
I said as I downed my freshly made orange juice.
"Bloody hell that gene resequencing serum Is no joke"
Hope muttered more to herself than me.
"But compared to me you're a monster, you ate 10 times more than me yet you're stomach Is as flat as It was"
The wronged Hope couldn't help but pout.
"Super fast metabolism"
I just said two words not elaborating further.
"So what's next?"
I asked as I wiped off my lips with a paper handkerchief.
For a moment she remained silent as she pondered her next actions.
"Let's get drunk"
She declared as I did my lips curved Into a grin.
"Waiter, what's the strongest poison you got?"
I asked the waiter who was busy taking off the empty plates.
"P*lmos S*irytus R*ktyfikowany Vodka sir"
The waiter Immediately replied.
"I'll take 10 of those and as for her..."
I said as my eyes fell on Hope.
"The same, one will be enough"
She declared.
"Anything else?"
The waiter asked just In case.
"No, we'll be needing a check though"
I said causing the waiter to leave and return soon after with eleven bottles and a check.
I quickly checked It and took out stacks of bills.
"Keep the change"
I said as I stuffed my bottles into the duffle bag while opening one and started gulping It down like water to the dumbfounded look of the waiter and everyone else.
While Hope did the same to her bottle, but she could only stomach one sip at a time.
We quickly left the mall while drinking and aimlessly walked through the brightly lit metropolis that was full of life even after the sun was replaced by the moon.
Unknowingly we reached the seashore, the sea breeze blew into our Intoxicated faces.
Well, I was just about tipsy and I had already finished my drinks while Hope on the other hand was still drinking hers that only had a few gulps left.
"Hw me yro not drunk?"
Hope asked as she slipped her left hand under my muscular arm and pressed It against her ample blossom.
While finishing her bottle and threw It Into the trash bin and after that buried her head Into my chest.
"I'm barely human at this point that's why"
I answered not hiding the fact that I received so many augmentations that I couldn't be considered a human anymore from an unaugmented baseline human point of view.
"But yro hrt sill beats, wt it's two heat beats?"
The dumbfounded Hope exclaimed after listening to my two almost synchronical heartbeats that would have gone unnoticed If she still was an unaugmented human.
"I have two hearts"
I said as we continued to walk alongside the shores beach which was all but deserted at this late hour.
"Wy would anone... yo know wht forget It"
Hope started saying only to give up, we continued to walk aImlessly as we enjoyed each other's company.
Only to cross paths with a group of ruffians whose appearance screamed trouble.
"Hey, you two stop right there!"
The leader who was covered In tattoos with a scarred cheek roared as he finished drinking his bottle and threw It away.
Causing It to shatter after hitting the hard surface.
I really couldn't help but start doubting the man's Intellect.
Although sure he was 190 centimeters tall and muscular which was above average for his countrymen.
Compared to me he was still small and logically speaking you wouldn't want to mess with someone who was 30 centimeters taller than you and built like a tank.
Unless you had more people, the experience to back It up and an ace up you're sleeve.
I thought as my HUD view changed to x-ray, Immediately my AI identified cold weapons for me hidden under the men's clothes.
