Chapter 243: Chapter 237: Sleepless Night (Part 2)

Translator: 549690339

When Finn Lewis got home, it was already past 3 am. He had a lot to explain to Olivia Thatcher on the way, so he drove slowly. As he emerged from the elevator, he halted momentarily. Unexpectedly, there were lights on in the villa next door to his. When Finn had bought the place, that villa was already sold, but as long as he’d lived here, he hadn’t seen anyone there. Could the owner have returned today?

Finn was curious about who the owner of that villa might be. After all, they would be neighbors. He was quite pleased with the rooftop gardens of these villas and their interiors. Lately, he had been watering all the flowers in his and the neighboring garden. Otherwise, they would have withered by now.

Just as he thought of paying a visit, he remembered that it was already 3 am. People were probably asleep. He scratched his head and prepared to return to sleep.

As Finn was about to turn around, he heard the sound of a door opening from behind. He was taken aback and automatically turned back. To his shock, he froze on the spot, as did the person who had just come out of the room.

The two of them were momentarily stuck, staring at each other until the stranger managed to collect herself. The atmosphere between them became slightly weird. The woman in tight black leather and her hair tied in a ponytail was not someone Finn would have associated with as the owner of the villa.

Moreover, she was carrying a package on her back. Although it was not large, there was no telling what was inside. Given the situation, her identity was undoubtful. Finn raised an eyebrow, halting his steps mid-way, and casually took a seat on the low wall between the villas to watch her.

Mmm, she was a beautiful woman. He gave her a once-over and remarked, “She’s a mixed-race beauty.” The mixed-race feature was quite clear from first glance, judging by her figure, height, along with her nose and eyes. However, her face conformed more to the beauty standards of the East.

They say mixed-race people tend to be beautiful. This woman was a testament to that, especially her chest which seemed to be at least a C+. Though Finn could not determine the exact size in one glance like Prince, he could estimate that C+ wasn’t small, especially given that a C cup was already considered large in Flame Nation. Rumors of larger chest sizes like D or E were all nonsense.

No matter how good your genes are, you can’t break the boundary, right? It’s nothing like how it’s described in novels. Of course, it’s not that large chest sizes didn’t exist, but they were rare.

The woman was also sizing up Finn. Upon noticing his actions, she hesitated for a moment before walking towards him. After all, the elevator and staircase entrance were located here. She spoke up once she was about seven or eight meters away. “Your home is a place I’ve never been. Hence, you can pretend not to see me, and I can leave just like that. How about it?”

She spoke fluent Flame Nation language, which Finn replied to nonchalantly. “I am a good citizen of Flame Nation. So, when encountering a thief… oh and especially when it’s a beautiful thief like you… It’s a scenario often encountered in movies and novels. Yet, I’ve never experienced it myself. I feel it would be regrettable if nothing happened with you.”

She was left speechless. Brother, do you think you are watching a movie? What’s regrettable if nothing happens? With this thought, she immediately pulled out a delicate little pistol from the right.

“I suggest you better not point that at me. Just a few hours ago, I swore that I would never let anyone point a gun at my head again in my life. If it were to happen again, I can’t guarantee your safety.” Before she could raise the gun, Finn’s cold voice had already given a warning.

Internally, Finn couldn’t stop complaining. Sh*t, the movies are all a bunch of bullsh*t! Thieves, especially pretty female thieves, always appeared unarmed. If discovered, they would resolve encounters by physical combat, rather than resorting to firearms.

Why does every woman I’ve met tonight, has a d*mn gun with her! No wait, including Jay Sommer, that makes three! Finn’s voice carried an inexplicable self-confidence. The woman hesitated a moment but did not raise her gun. For people in their line of work, one avoids trouble when possible.

Finn’s tone and confidence gave her a strange illusion that it might be best to do as he suggested or else the consequences could be severe.

“Can I stop pointing it at you, but can I leave now?” The beauty hesitated for a moment, then spoke. The gun was in her hand, and she was too far from Finn Lewis, so whether she pointed it at him or not didn’t make much of a difference to her.

“Think you can do whatever you want just because you have a gun, huh, missy? I wouldn’t say you can’t leave, but why don’t you leave me your name and contact first? Who knows, I might need your services someday?” Finn spoke with a smirk. He was purely joking, finding her a decent thief since she didn’t point the gun at him.

“I fail to understand your confidence,” the beauty said after a pause, glaring at him. “Did you think you could avoid causing yourself any discomfort or trouble?”

“Where did I get my confidence?” Finn chuckled, standing upright and clapping his hands, “You’ll see.”

With Finn’s clapping, a big man came out of the entrance to Finn’s villa. Him coming out wasn’t the main point, rather, it was the black M4A1 rifle he held, its muzzle directly pointed at her that shocked her. She froze and dropped the handgun she was holding.

Motherfucker! Finn couldn’t help but thank his lucky stars. Fortunately, on the return journey, he had exchanged with Zero for two standard T-1000 combat robots. Contrary to the T-1000 in Terminator, this T-1000 was only an upgrade of T-800. Most things remained unchanged aside from the enhanced CPU functionality, it wasn’t as “dumb” as a T-800.

After settling Leah Tyson’s affair and capturing the robbers that night, he still hadn’t completed the so-called “dark force” challenge. Apparently, the mission hadn’t ended yet. Even though Finn didn’t know what this dark force was, he exchanged for those two T-looos just in case. He didn’t expect them to come in handy so soon.

Fortunately, Zero’s transportation speed was quite efficient. Although Finn didn’t know how Zero did it, it didn’t matter as long as he could use them when he needed to.

Seeing the beauty giving up her resistance, the T-1000 walked towards her, picked up the weapon on the ground, and just as the T-1000 was about to bend down, the beauty suddenly made her move! Her hands instantly wrapped around T-1000’s right arm that held the weapon as she tried to snatch the gun away.

Finn, who was sitting nearby, nearly burst into laughter. He knew she was going to try something; she wasn’t going to just sit around and wait for her doom. But her approach was going to be futile against the T-1000. Finn just watched her with bemusement.

As Finn expected, the beauty’s move was well-executed. Given her occupation and her apparent high-ranking status, it’s natural that her combat skills wouldn’t be lacking. Her attack target was always the weak spots of a human body. Even a special forces soldier, if attacked like this, might not fall, but they would certainly drop their weapon and be forced into hand-to-hand combat with her.

However, obviously, she wasn’t facing a human. As she wrapped her arms around T-1000’s arm, preparing to disarm him she was met with something that shocked her. Her hands felt like they were wrapped around a steel column, incapable of shaking the arm slightest. She was like a monkey clinging onto T-1000’s body.

The situation was rather bizarre. The T-1000 had picked up the handgun with its free hand and pointed it at her forehead. The beauty slowly let go of her arms and lifted her hands, coming down from T-1000’s body.

“Haha!” Seeing this, Finn laughed heartlessly. Motherfucker! Although the T-1000 weighed the same as a normal person, its whole body was made of a special alloy material. Its power system was absolutely formidable. Only the outer skin was biological material, everything within was alloy. The alloy fiber muscles’ pulling power was far from human strength.

Moreover, it also had an internal miniature gravity adjustment system that enabled its body to gain eight to ten times the normal weight instantly. If it wished, it could stand still, and even if a car hit it at high speed, it would be like crashing into a giant concrete pillar..
