The Mech Touch novel Chapter 1381

Lucky eventually tracked down Ves and his group while they were being surrounded by a veritable herd of cats!

\"Miaow Miaow!\"

\"Mrooooow!\"

\"Mew mew!\"

The sight riled Lucky up, especially since he saw Ves laughing while he fed some treats to a pampered white cat!

\"MEOW!\"

The domineering entry of the gem cat instantly caused the other cats to look up in alarm. Their cat senses told them that Lucky was a cat to take note!

\"Meow.\"

The cats in the way stepped aside as Lucky majestically sauntered straight towards Ves. The female white cat who previously enjoyed his owner’s attention grew scared and quickly jumped away!

With Ves’ lap free, Lucky jumped onto it and perched on it like he was sitting on a throne!

\"Meow!\"

The cats started to disperse, though some of the more stubborn ones stuck around but ready to flee if Lucky made any hostile moves.

For his part, the gem cat ignored what he saw as lesser cats and began to look at Ves as if expecting his tribute of patting.

Ves obliged and stroked Lucky’s back. \"What have you been up to this last hour?\"

\"Meow.\"

\"Haha, I can imagine the number of cat persons who want to buy you. It must have given you a lot of headaches when you tried to make it clear that you’re not for sale.\"

\"Meow.\"

\"Oh, you decided to move elsewhere to escape the crowd?\"

\"Meow meow. Meow meow meow. Meow! Meow meow.\"

\"Interesting, interesting.\" Ves rubbed his chin in intrigue. \"Did you find out anything else?\"

\"Meow.. meow?\"

\"Ah, sounds interesting. It’s too bad this planet is too damn monitored and secured.\"

While Ves left Lucky to play by himself, his cat slipped away and utilized his miniature stealth generator to snoop at a nearby underground research and observation post he detected with his advanced sensors.

During his brief jaunt, his cat quickly explored the labs but found nothing interesting. The most his cat managed to do was to sneak to the local data banks stored in the bottom-most floor and utilize his automated CFA hacking programs to surreptitiously steal mountains of raw data.

While Lucky believed the hack succeeded, Ves did not expect to gain much out of the random data that his cat had retrieved. In a busy city like this where loads of people roamed around, House Laterna would be stupid to place critical data within the vicinity!

The only way he could obtain more valuable data was if he or Lucky could sneak onto the Talin Continent somehow.

All of Felixia’s major research institutions were situated there, but no casual tourist was allowed to step foot in Talin. Ves saw no way of crossing an entire ocean unless he hijacked a very good stealth vehicle, and those weren’t exactly close at hand.

He shrugged at Lucky. \"Let’s leave that aside. Let’s just enjoy what Eron has to offer before heading to Asco so we can get a move on tracking down a huge cat.\"

A full day passed as Ves let himself go and enjoyed the various cat-themed attractions that the Eron Continent offered to its visitors.

A part of him thought that he should have brought Gloriana along. The festive cat atmosphere was perfect for dates!

Ves had a lot of fun during this time. Even if Lucky behaved rather cattily whenever he cuddled with a cat, at least his pet didn’t exhibit too much jealousy anymore after Ves made a lot of promises that he wouldn’t acquire any cats.

\"Sheesh! You’re just like Gloriana, Lucky!\"

\"Meow!\"

His cat currently perched himself atop his head like he belonged there. Not only that, but Lucky also started licking the cat ear attachments as if they needed a bath!

Despite his grumbling, Ves thoroughly enjoyed his visit on Eron. Felixia had been in the tourism business for a very long time and knew exactly how to provide an enjoyable experience to their guests. The meowing, purring and yowling cats he encountered in cities, villages and in nature preserves won over Ves and the rest of his entourage!

The only person in their group that resolutely kept her distance from the affection-seeking creatures was Nitaa. His bodyguard dutifully remained alert to threats and refused to let any begging cat distract her from her mission!

Ves appreciated her dedication, though sometimes he felt she could use some relaxation herself. He had never seen her engage in any hobbies or take any time off at all.

\"What do you do for fun, Nitaa?\"

\"I train. I perform my duty. I sleep.\"

\"That.. doesn’t sound very fun.\"

She smiled at him. \"I know what you are hinting at, sir, but this is what I was made for. True Kinners are always able to derive our enjoyment from our work.\"
