Chapter 234 Operation
"Why did he give a missed call?" Nicole got out of the bathroom after taking a shower and looked at her phone. She could see a missed call from Jack.
"Let me dial his number." She swiped through the phone and finally called Jack's number.
"The number you are calling is either switched off or currently out of service..." A mechanical voice rang from the other side of the call.
"He just bought this new phone and now it's out of service?" Nicole raised her eyebrows. She then called him again and this time too his call was not connecting.
A frown appeared on her face. "Why did he switch off the phone after calling me?" She sat down on the bed and started thinking.
"I don't feel good about this.." A worried expression appeared on her face.
....
"I am not part of any grand scheme!" Jack said as she looked at Firn with anger flashing in his eyes.
"You don't know, but you are." Firn chuckled and moved the spear even closer to Elma's neck. "Come with me or she will die. I don't wanna harm you." He looked at Jack with a serious expression on his face.
"Ah..." Elma let out a scared voice as she felt the sharp tip against her throat. She then looked at Jack. "Jack, you should save your life." She said.
"Shut up bitch!" Firn said while hissing, black-coloured scales appeared on his body.
"Don't touch her, ok, I am coming with you," Jack said, releasing a deep sigh. 'I have to save Elma first.'
Firn looked at Jack with a giant smile. "Remove that Ring first and give it to me." He said with a mocking expression on his face.
Jack looked at him in silence and after a few seconds nodded. "Here, take it." He took out the ring from his finger and threw it towards Firn.
Firn caught the ring with a smile on his face and looked at Jack, he could see that Jack's horns were disappearing and even his power was vanishing.
"Good, good." He moved his spear away from Elma and moved towards Jack. "I will tie you up now." He said and suddenly a long rope appeared in his hand.
Jack took in a deep breath and stayed silent. 'I have no other way, I have to go with him.' He thought.
However just before Firn could step towards Jack the clear sky above them suddenly got covered with dark clouds.
The air turned heavy and then from above the clouds a purple-haired girl appeared between Jack and Firn.
Her eyes were flashing purple and there was an angry expression on her face.
"Who are you?" Nicole asked as she looked at Firn.
Firn on the other hand looked at Nicole and gritted his teeth. 'Too bad, she is already here! Now I have to escape.' He thought and dropped the rope on the ground and stepped back.
"It doesn't matter anymore! We will return with all our forces!" Firn said, and two dragon wings appeared on his back. He then looked at Jack. "You will be the first one we will kill!" He said, and his wings flapped.
Jack looked at him with his eyes narrowed. Anger was clearly visible on his face. "Nicole, don't let him escape alive! He has my ring, I want it back." Jack said.
He didn't wanna give away his ring to someone else. It was a gift from Vieva.
"Hmph! She would never listen to one of her pawns..." Before Firn could complete his words he felt blood rushing out of his head and then his eyes landed on Nicole's hand.
"You... You... When..." He could see blood dripping from the edge of the sword. And then his head rolled down on the ground. His eyes were wide in disbelief.
Elma looked at the scene and was also shocked. "Ni..Nicole? You became a superhuman?" She looked at Nicole.
Nicole looked at Elma with a confused expression on her face. "Superhuman?" She asked with her brows raised.
"You don't know what a superhuman is?" Elma asked as she adjusted her glasses.
Even Jack looked at her with a curious expression, he had previously seen Hena and he knew that she was a superhuman, however, he didn't have good knowledge about them.
"There is an organization named Red Collars, they have some superhumans," Elma said as she stepped forward and glanced at the beheaded body on the ground.
"Red collars..." Jack murmured. He remembered Feba and Faneel.
"Yes," Elma nodded at his words.
"Let's go away from here," Jack said as he looked around.
Both Nicole and Elma nodded at his words.
"Nicole, can you clean this body up?" Jack had previously seen Nicole's powers and knew that she could make a skeleton come out of the ground and engulf the dead bodies in the soil again.
"Hmm..." Nicole nodded and clicked her fingers and soon enough two skeleton hands popped up around Firn's body and then sucked it inside the soil.
Soon enough everything went to normal.
"You should go back, Nicole," Jack said.
Nicole looked at him and then at his broken mobile phone. Her body moved and she came in front of him. "Are you ok?" She asked.
Jack nodded. "Don't worry about me." He said as he patted her head.
Nicole leaned in and landed a kiss on Jack's face.
Elma looked at them and a slightly jealous expression appeared on her face, even her cheeks turned red.
"Come back quickly," Nicole said after moving away and then her body started flowing upwards. "Buy a new phone as quickly as you can. And call me instantly if you ever get in trouble. And here take your ring." She threw a small ring at Jack.
"Thanks, Nicole." Jack caught the ring and nodded.
She listened to him and then her body started flying towards the clouds at a rapid pace and soon enough her body disappeared in the black clouds.
And after she was gone even the clouds disappeared.
Elma looked at the clouds and gulped her saliva. "She has become so powerful." She murmured with an impressed expression on her face.
"Yes, she has..." Jack said and looked at Elma. "Let's go back to your house, we can continue our date at a later date."
Elma stayed silent at his words, however after a few seconds she nodded. "That would be the best." Although she wanted to continue the date, however thinking about the events she figured that it would be best to go back for now.
Jack held her hand and started moving towards the car. And in about thirty minutes both of them were in front of Elma's mansion.
Inside her room...
"You were saying something about superhumans?" Jack asked with his brows raised.
"Yes, there are few organisations that create superhumans. And red collars are one of them." Elma said as she sat down on the bed.
"Feba and Faneel were also from the Red Collars." Jack sat down on the sofa and looked at her.
"Yes, but they weren't superhumans. Only the top echelons have them." She removed her high heels and threw them away on the floor.
"I met one in the other dimension. Her name was Hena." Jack said.
Elma nodded at his words. "She was also from the red collars. She came to that world with Ashley. I heard that Ashley died."
Jack turned silent at her words. Vieva has told him before that she killed a girl with Hena, as Hena killed Echo.
"There is a way by which anyone can become a superhuman. Even my father is one, he is one of the strongest." Elma said with a complicated expression on her face.
She never thought that she would ever reveal this information to anyone, however, she completely believed in Jack.
"There is a way to become superhuman?" Jack asked with a shocked expression on his face.
Elma saw his expression and sighed. "Yes, but it comes with a risk." She murmured.
"Risk?"
"Yes, there is only a point-three per cent chance that you will become a superhuman after going through the operation." She raised three of her fingers.
Jack saw her fingers and after taking in a deep breath he nodded. "And what if one failed to become one?" He asked.
"Then you die." Elma sighed. "That's why my father never let us go through the operation. He was scared that we would die." Elma said.
Jack listened to her and stayed silent for a few minutes, he then nodded. "Can you arrange for this operation?" He asked.
"Yes I can, but it won't be successful," Elma said with a sad expression on her face. She wanted to go through the operation but the odds were against her.
Jack contemplated something and then let out a breath. "I will need that operation soon." He said.
Elma furrowed her brows at his words. "Are you crazy? I just said that the chances are less than point three per cent!" Elma stood up from her bed with a worried expression on her face. "I would never let you go through the operation!" She had a determined expression on her face.
