extended instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one swift motion, she lashed out at Jake’s face, her sharp claws raking across his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three bloody marks appeared instantly, red streaks marring his pale skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake froze for a moment, clearly not expecting the sudden attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai, now realizing what she had done, closed her eyes and braced herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sure this was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake was going to retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d probably snap her tiny cat form like a twig, or worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waited, her heart pounding in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of the expected pain or fury, Jake’s laughter filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai’s eyes snapped open in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake was laughing—full, genuine laughter, the kind that made his shoulders shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” he managed between chuckles, wiping the blood from his cheek with his thumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re so… interesting.” Interesting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai thought, staring at him in utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was bleeding, and all he could think to say was that she was interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he perhaps a masochist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake reached out and gently patted her head, his fingers running through her soft fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai stiffened, unsure of what to make of his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re full of surprises, aren’t you?” he mused, his tone shifting into something almost… tender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since our last meeting, I’ve felt this strange kind of… longing for you.” Longing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was he talking about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake’s hand moved to lightly stroke the back of her neck, sending a weird tingle down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze had softened, his usual arrogance replaced with something more complicated, something that confused her even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai’s brain short-circuited at his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this some sort of twisted joke?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Jake lost his mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to hiss at him, to demand what the hell he was playing at, but all she could do was glare up at him in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if reading her thoughts, Jake’s lips curved into another amused smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t believe me?” he asked, clearly enjoying her internal turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve been on my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that I want you to feel too flattered or anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m still trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.” Su Jiyai finally found her bearings enough to shoot him a sharp look, one that clearly said: You’re a lunatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake’s grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That look again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re lucky I find you so entertaining, or I might actually be upset about the scratches.” Su Jiyai couldn’t believe what she was hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entertaining?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he completely deranged?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know whether to feel relieved or even more concerned about Jake’s behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was acting so… bizarrely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t like the Jake she knew—the cold, calculating vampire who just wanted to snap her neck and kill her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Jake, with his teasing and odd confessions, was a far cry from the dangerous man she had encountered before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had changed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve gotten quiet, little cat,” Jake said softly, his fingers still playing absently with her fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you plotting my demise again?” Su Jiyai narrowed her eyes at him, mentally screaming every sarcastic insult she could think of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plotting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wish I could burn you to a crisp, you infuriating bloodsucker!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake laughed again, seemingly undeterred by her silent fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever you’re thinking, I’m sure it’s entertaining.” He sighed softly, his tone becoming more thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really are different, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess that’s why I keep thinking about you.” Su Jiyai was too stunned to respond, her thoughts too jumbled to make sense of any of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What on earth had gotten into Jake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the door knocking startled both Su Jiyai and Jake, breaking the strange tension in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jake could even respond, Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei entered, her expression sharp and unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was followed closely by Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan, who cast a vicious glance in Su Jiyai’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake noticed the silent exchange and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know,” he said dryly, “it’s considered polite to wait for a response after knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I guess privacy isn’t something we care about here?” Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei ignored his sarcasm, her expression cold as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cut straight to the point, “Jake, I need you to follow me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s something important we must discuss.” Jake tilted his head, his eyes flickering with irritation as he cradled Su Jiyai closer to his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I assume you’d like me to leave her with Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan, right?” he asked, voice laced with sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let the man with murder in his eyes handle the cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounds like a great plan.” Su Jiyai’s ears flattened against her head, and she squirmed slightly in his grip, protesting the idea just as much as Jake was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could feel Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan’s killing intent from across the room, and there was no way she was letting herself be handed over to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei’s gaze hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not in a position to argue, Jake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leave her with Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s an order.” Jake met her cold stare with his usual calm demeanor, “And if I refuse?” The air in the room thickened with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei narrowed her eyes, her lips pressed into a thin line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear she wasn’t used to being challenged, especially not by someone like Jake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Su Jiyai was sure a fight would break out, but then, to her surprise, Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei let out a small sigh, seemingly letting the matter go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well,” she said, her tone tight with restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring her with you.” Su Jiyai mentally breathed a sigh of relief as Jake followed Dr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several minutes, they reached a room that looked markedly different from the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door slid open with a quiet hiss, revealing a sterile, clinical space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center was a bed surrounded by strange machines, each connected to tubes filled with a green liquid that glowed faintly under the artificial lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Jake stepped into the room, Su Jiyai felt him tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His usually confident demeanor wavered for a split second, and Su Jiyai noticed his face pale slightly, his jaw tightening as if he were trying to suppress some deep-seated fear\u003C\u002Fp>",1041,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","e5898ed92f9bee8c918c7077d242a35b9bfe3e6aab007b25aefeda39e9df71e1","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-205","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-203",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
