Mark sighed internally as he heard Tina say this. He already knew that Tina was not the sort of person to take no for an answer and it would be hell to make her back off, so he decided to ignore her antics as much as possible. Mark stole a glance at Arit and saw that she was still glaring at Tina. He dropped his spoon before flicking her forehead.
"Ow!"
Arit held her forehead in pain and glared at Mark. Mark grinned at her before picking his spoon back up and pointing it at her while telling her to relax. He asked her if she was okay and Arit just shrugged before turning to her own food. She was not happy at all, and Mark could understand why.
Tina was a pain in the ass to everyone, but it must be even worse for Arit since Tina was always hanging off him. Mark knew that Arit was obsessed with him, so it would not end well if Arit was pushed too far and she ended up doing something that would expose them. Mark needed to talk to her and make sure she didn't do anything rash while Tina and Turner were in the school.
If she tries anything, it won't turn out the same way it turned out with Francis and Esmeralda. Things would be a lot more difficult.
"Hello, my name is Kevin, but you can call me Ken! My friends and I were just thinking about going to get something to eat together and we were wondering if you wanted to join us!"
It is said that in every environment, there is at least one organism that possesses no natural predators. This organism has lived at the top of its own food chain for so long that it no longer possesses the natural fear of predators that most other creatures possess. In the wild savannahs, the organism that possesses this trait is the Honey Badger.
The Honey Badger was an animal as small as a raccoon, but that bastard had the balls of a fucking dinosaur! Its natural fearlessness allowed it to pull up to lions, cheetahs, and even alligators without fear, bite their tails, rough around with them, and then smack them in the face before walking away just because it felt like it!
Mark watched NPC Kent standing in front of Tina's seat with a wide, inviting grin, and Mark knew that in this school, NPC Kent had to be the embodiment of the Honey Badger itself! If he wasn't, there is no way the idiot would have the courage necessary to walk up to an S-class superhuman and say something so idiotic! Especially after everything that had happened with Tina just this morning!
'NPC Kent is a lot more courageous than I thought.'
Mark still remembers how NPC Kent came to talk to him after his identity was exposed, and Mark thought that it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. But it seems that NPC Kent wasn't just trying his luck before; this was just the sort of person he was. He was someone who wasn't afraid to walk up to someone as crazy as Tina and ask her to have lunch with him.
Turner walked up to Tina and leaned down to talk to her in harsh whispers before she could go too far. No one in the class could hear what they were saying, but Mark was able to catch some of it due to his enhanced hearing.
"We need to investigate the students, so we should mix in with them. Remember we came here for a job."
"I don't give a fuck about that. I want to stay here with Mark. I can investigate from right here."
Turner grit his teeth angrily at his sister.
"You either come with me, or I tell Luna about this."
Tina's eyes showed a glint of fear for a moment before she glared at Turner in anger. That was a low blow and Turner knew that Tina was going to get back at him for that later, but he had to do it. Tina was a wild card that never agrees to anything he says, so he was not above resorting to such low tactics to get her to behave.
Luna was the one overseeing this investigation, and both Tina and Turner were warned before they began that they would answer to her if she heard about them doing anything that wasn't meant to help them find the killer.
And since Luna was one of the few people that Tina was always careful not to offend, Turner knew that she would be in serious trouble if Luna found out that she was refusing to investigate.
Tina clicked her tongue.
"You're a fucking rat and I'll get you for this. When you wake up with a hundred roaches on your bed, just know that you brought it on yourself."
Turner shivered internally as he felt goosebumps travel across his skin. Knowing the sort of person Tina was, Turner knew that she was capable of something so heinous. She knew he was terrified of roaches and yet she was saying something so dangerous? His sister should have been kept in a psych ward once she was born.
