When he removed his hand from her mouth, Jessica, who had believed he was about to make a move since his hands were now resting on both her shoulders.
He felt a blend of expectation and also fear, since it seed that he was really going to do sothing.
Her mind spiraled as she struggled to decide what to do. Then his voice cut through the silence.
"Jessica," he called softly.
She felt too shy and nervous, yet she still gathered the courage to open her eyes and saw his face staring at her with a serious expression.
"Is he going to confess?" she wondered in panic.
She was unsure of how to respond if he really was about to tell her his feelings.
Her emotions, which were mixed with joy, fear, and excitent, suddenly faded away the mont he finally spoke.
"Can you leave my room for a mont? I have sothing to do," he said to her in a calm voice.
"WHAT!" her mind felt like it was about to explode.
She had been thinking that sothing unbelievable was about to happen, yet it turned out he just wanted her to leave his room.
Her embarrassnt turned into disappointnt then quickly turned into anger, especially because her expectations had been completely crushed.
"You want to leave? Why?" she asked, looking straight at his face with a cold expression.
"Because... ahhh, I have sothing important to do, so can we talk tomorrow? I’m really busy," he said, struggling to co up with the right lie.
Jessica only snorted and shook her head, refusing to give him the chance to push her out.
She was too stubborn at this mont, since her anger fueled by the thought of how foolish she had been for expecting sothing that wasn’t true in the first place.
Seeing how stubborn she was at this current mont, Jeff started to panic.
He was in a hurry now, knowing that if he wasted even a few more seconds, that man would be out of his reach.
Lifting her by the shoulders like a doll, he carried her off the floor, carefully adjusting his strength since she was a delicate girl.
Being carried like a kid made her face flush red, but when she realized he was actually carrying her all the way to the door outside of his room, her expression darkened.
"Do you really have to go this far just to throw out? Do you hate that much?" she asked, her heart aching as a wave of sadness filled her chest.
Jeff, upon hearing her words and seeing her face, was struck by an expression that seed to silence everything around him.
Her face no longer showed anger, only pure sadness, and that sight made his heart ache as their eyes t.
After he set her down outside the door of his room, she stood there quietly, clearly waiting for him to say sothing.
He noticed how she was clutching her clothes tightly, trying to calm herself, so he ca up with another lie, hoping it would sohow cheer her up.
"I’m so sorry, Jessica. Let’s play next ti, it’s just that I’m really busy right now. If you want, I can take you out next ti, how about that?" he said with a smile, trying his best to cheer her up.
But his words didn’t seem to work. She only looked at him with hopeful eyes and said.
"If it’s sothing important, I can help. Why don’t you let help you, how about that?" Her voice carried full sincerity.
"No, no, no," he replied quickly, waving his hands in panic.
"This is a man’s business. You girls can’t help with this," he said with rushed smile.
Being rejected again and pushed away made her feel even more disheartened, yet she still tried to insist.
"Well, I can learn... and besides, it’s better to have one more person helping, so..." she said, but couldn’t finish her words as Jeff shook his head firmly.
Seeing that he was still saying no firmly she stopped and lowered her head.
Her fingers began fidgeting together like a child that had done sothing wrong.
"Then can I ask what’s so important?" she asked softly.
Jeff, who was already in a rush and was now using his hearing all they way up, suddenly felt his senses reach their limit.
His hearing could no longer detect anything beyond 550 ters, and realizing he could no longer sense the man, his expression darkened.
"I’m going to masturbate in private, alright? So don’t open the door or disturb , got it? Bye!" he said quickly before closing the door.
Without wasting another second, he jumped out the window and moved through the darkness, vanishing from one spot to another like a shadow.
The man who had slipped out of his range was now within his senses again. Jeff could tell he was in a car, speeding away fast.
"You’re not getting away from ," Jeff muttered as he ran swiftly through the shadows, unseen and unnoticed by the man in the car.
For clarification the car wasn’t moving slowly. Its speed was around sixty kiloters per hour.
And to be able to follow it, he clearly had an inhuman pace considering that the fastest runner back in his world could only reach forty-four.
He was twenty kiloters faster from that guy, and from the way he moved, it was clear he wasn’t even using his full strength.
After only a few minutes, they arrived at a mountainous area.
Jeff instantly beca far less noticeable, blending easily into the surroundings.
The thick trees provided natural cover, but that wasn’t the only reason for his concealnt.
Now that he had reached the third level, his control over his body had reached perfection.
Every cell, muscle fiber, and nerve impulse responded exactly as he intended.
Normally, the human body releases constant micro-signals like tiny vibrations, faint heat emissions, and subtle electromagnetic patterns caused by bioelectric activity.
These signals although they are invisible, it could be sensed by other living beings with sharp instincts.
By mastering the Kinetic Vein Art to the third level, Jeff could suppress those signals.
The art allowed him to regulate the microscopic kinetic energy flowing within his bloodstream and muscles.
By slowing his heartbeat, adjusting his breathing rate, and reducing surface temperature through controlled blood flow, he could make his body appear nearly lifeless to detection.
It was similar to how certain animals, like octopuses or chaleons, could alter their appearance and heartbeat to avoid predators.
And this is exactly what he did, but on a higher level since his body’s energy output was tuned so precisely that even sensitive equipnt or beasts that relied on life-sense would detect nothing unusual.
After following the man for so ti, Jeff saw him turn toward a wooded area where a narrow man-made road was made that completely separates to the main road.
Eventually, the car stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse.
Seeing that the car finally stopped, Jeff knows that he had arrived and knows that it was ti for him to act.
