Chapter 21
I snorted. "Says the man who's selling it to me."
"Kah! I'm just a middleman here. If you never blackmailed me, I would never want to deal with that kind of good."
"Why won't you, Mr. Craig? You are a black market weapon dealer."
"Missy, I like to sell weapons but not this kind of weapon. This is a double-edged sword." He glanced at me. "Instead of your enemies, it might end up destroying you."
"I never knew that Mr. Craig can show some concern to other people, especially to your customers." I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"You're a source of money. So it's important to show some concern to my money bags." He shrugged.
"You got a point there." I nodded. "Then I believe that Mr. Craig is professional enough to keep the confidentiality."
He chuckled. "Of course missy. Even though you blackmailed me for this deal, the payment was more than enough to appease my displeasure." He then motioned towards me and handed me a car key. "I believe that this is all."
"Yes, then I look forward to our future businesses, Mr. Craig." I waved at him as he and his men left.
Despite the dead silence around me, my facial expression was pretty lively. My eyes were glittering with excitement as I looked at the unopened box.
I was like a child opening a present from Santa Claus as I unlocked and opened the box. When the content was now in full view, I couldn't help but gasp in awe at the piece of art in front of me.
It was a sleeping beauty…
With swift but careful movements, I injected a chemical to awake the sleeping beauty. After waiting a few seconds, the beauty's eyes fluttered open and the beauty slowly stood up.
Hair like silver, eyes like ruby, skin as white as snow and a well-toned body…
The man now in front of me could make any woman drool.
He stared at me with his vacant eyes. His hoa.r.s.e and magnetic voice tickled my eardrums.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"I am Maria Lily Burnsworth. From now on,
"My… owner…"
"Yes. Hmm… Let's give you a name." I gazed at him with a contemplating look.
'Bewitching… This man is probably the most handsome man I've ever seen yet. He definitely has the looks but…'
"Let's call you, Dull. You're like a doll and the way you act is a little bit dull."
'It's not like I suck at giving names but from the way his eyes look. The word just popped out of my head.'
"Dull… I am dull." For a moment, his face lit up but went back to having a blank expression.
'Is his expression due to mental conditioning or just natural? Hmm… It's not like he's a cyborg.'
With a hand touching my chin, I studied the outer appearance of Dull. My eyes travelled starting from his head then downwards.
'Amazing'
I inwardly applauded at how marvellous his physique is. Even his third leg can make any woman weak on her knees, except for me though.
When Dull noticed where my eyes were staring with a big grin on my face, his expression surprisingly changed.
"I'm naked." He spoke in a low voice as he covered his third leg with his both hands.
Due to his pale white skin, the blush on his face and ear tips were visible to me. This natural reaction of his made me giggle.
'And here I thought that he'll continue his robot act.'
"Here, get dressed." I threw a paper bag to him. It contained the clothes that I bought for him at the mall district.
His discomfort was vivid as he got dressed under my observant eyes.
"He's definitely human." I muttered.
Yes, Dull is a 100% human. It's just that his physiological system was enhanced through genetic modification making him much st.u.r.dier compared to regular humans.
This was one of the recent unique technological advancements that I've found out in this world. The genetic modification research was initiated to create super soldiers. Unfortunately, this kind of research was disdained by a lot of people due to morality issues. Thus, just two years ago, the research was shut down under the command of the government.
However, before the research went to an official shut down. There had been several super soldiers that were already created and one of them is Dull.
No data about Dull's past could be found and his memory was wiped out during the research. All that I managed to acquire were data about his physiological state and several biological information. Surprisingly, his ruby eyes are actually natural and not due to genetic modification. According to his data, he's already 22 years old and has enough physical capability to go up against a hundred men.
"I'm done." Dull's voice interrupted my train of thoughts as he stood in front of me.
He was now wearing a black sweats.h.i.+rt, blue jeans and black rubber shoes. Simple fas.h.i.+on but his manliness seemed to have magnified.
'Fufufu~ I do not regret that I spent 250 million on him!'
I made a victory pose in my mind as I recalled my reluctance to spend so much money on him yet I gave in to the temptation.
"Then let's go." I tossed the car key to him and pointed to the box with weapons. "Carry that with you."
I turned my back on him with the intention to go but I spun my body back to him.
"I'll be looking forward to your performance." I said with a devious smile and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
