Chapter 130- Hot Spring War? (Part 1)
Kai then returned to the forest, traveling on foot. There was no car, plane, or train that pa.s.sed through that forest so he had to use his feet which was still pretty fast.
By the time he reached the house, it was already night and the cabin could be seen with lights on from the outside. Opening the door, Kai was instantly swarmed by Kaya and Eva who hugged him at the same time. If it wasn't for the fact that Kai had already antic.i.p.ated that sudden ambush, he would've fallen on his back.
"Are you ok?!"
"Did they do anything stupid?!"
The two asked as they wrapped their arms around him. They didn't even care that they had to share the hug with each other as they were totally focused on Kai.
"It went according to plan. All that is left is to execute it." He replied as he put them down and walked inside, putting down the mask and the sword in the corner.
"They agreed? All nine of them?" Kaya asked with confusion.
"Five. And yes, they all agreed."
'So only five attended, huh? Well, that was better than expected. I would've not been surprised if none of them appeared.' Kaya mused to herself with a nod.
"However, there is one particular Archangel that refused at first. I doubt that she will back down since I took the Origin Vow and it could end up killing her. But, she's most likely not going to do more than the bare minimum."
"How… did you make her agree?" Eva asked.
"I gave her a choice and she decided to accept." Kai's tone sounded extremely cold but it wasn't directed at Eva or Kaya.
However, they understood what he meant by the word 'choice'. In all honesty, they didn't really care much about the fact that Kai used such methods. They used them too, many times. In the eyes of the public, the three of them are bad people… REALL bad people.
But, why should they care? They chose this line of work and they went with it. Besides, they didn't really care about what others thought of them. Especially when it comes to Kai, he really didn't care what others thought of him at all and that was one of the many reasons why he was all alone for the better part of his life.
After that, Kai sat down on the sofa and arched his neck back before he closed his eyes. He wasn't exhausted but he liked to take a few minutes of silence whenever he does something major. His mind would replay everything that happened and search for any possible loopholes or mistakes that he might've done.
It usually ends up being pointless since Kai rarely makes mistakes when it comes to important plans. But, it was still his safety measure.
Kaya and Eva also didn't interrupt him until he finally opened his eyes again before one of them finally spoke.
"Hey, Kai. We made something while you're out." Eva said with a small smile.
Looking up, he didn't need to even ask as Kaya continued. "Wanna see?"
Squinting his eyes, Kai stood up and followed after them to the backyard of the cabin. There, he found a huge hole filled with water that was almost as big as the house itself. Inside the hole was hot water with steam rising from it. Special-looking stones surrounded the perimeter of the pool with small lamps around to illuminate the place.
It was absolutely beautiful. Kai wouldn't be surprised if he found this same hot spring pool in a luxurious resort.
"We made a hot spring! Well, technically it's not a hot spring since we didn't find any hot springs around. So, it's more of a 'hot pool' or something like that. But, still, for the sake of it, we called it a hot spring!" Eva said with an excited tone.
"..." Kai stood there looking at the pool blankly.
"We thought that since we are pretty much dead exhausted from training, a hot spring would help relax the muscles and hastens the recovery. This one took some time to make but it's great!" Kaya added.
"I see." Nodding his head, Kai turned around. "That's a good idea."
The two girls beamed when they heard his compliment. All the effort that took them to make that pool was now worth it. However, that wasn't the end of it.
"You can try it. It will help you relax." Eva said softly.
Kai didn't disagree and walked back inside the house to get a towel.
"First step: completed. Now, it's time to see who can do it." Kaya said with a mischievous smile.
"Dream on. I'm one step ahead of you, old hag." Eva said sarcastically.
"Sure, sure. Just don't get angry if things get steamy between me and Kai." Licking her lips, Kaya seductively walked away.
"Don't worry, I will snap your arms and legs before that would ever happen," Eva replied with a scary smile.
The only response she got was a middle finger from Kaya who entered the house without looking back.
Eva rolled her eyes and then also walked back to get ready.
A few minutes later, Kai walked outside again, wearing only shorts with a towel on his shoulder. Then, he put it down and entered the hot water. Making himself comfortable, he let the hot water relax him and seep all the tension from his muscles.
It was indeed a great idea, he thought to himself secretly. A hot spring was like heaven for someone as active physically as Kai.
'I think there is a hot spring close by from where I live. I should check it out sometime in the future.'
As he was like that, he heard the door open which made him sigh. He already knew who it was and what they were intending to do.
"No." He said without looking back.
"Oh, come on, Kai. Don't be a party p.o.o.per. Let's have some fun!" Kaya said as she approached him, revealing her stunning figure.
Her absolutely mesmerizing bad was clad in a beautiful bikini. The bikini, a vibrant tapestry of colors reminiscent of a tropical sunrise, clung to her form, emphasizing her s.e.xy curves. The top is a daring triad of fabric held together by delicate golden threads. In contrast, the bottoms, adorned with playful ruffles that danced with every step were hypnotizing, to say the least.
"Do you like it?" She asked when she noticed Kai finally looking at her.
"Don't mind her, Kai. You know how annoying she can be." Eva said as she pushed Kaya aside, showing her own bikini. Her bikini was different from Kaya's, a beautiful monochromic mix that made her shiny, white skin look even more brilliant. The top, a bandeau of jet-black fabric, sculpted her upper body with an air of elegance. Eva didn't have a body as curvy as Kaya even though she was very s.e.xy in her own right.
So, she complimented that with her elegance that was unmatched even by Kaya. Eva's black hair and red were so ethereal that she looked like a true angel from the sky.
"What do you think, my love?" She asked lovingly as she made a turn.
Secretly, she gave Kaya a small mocking smile which enraged the latter.
'It's war, brat!!'
