Chapter 13 - Convincing the octopus

"Hi, Mr. Oct yeah I'm a fan of yours and I kinda like your invention right there it looks cool!" I said trying to think how to convince him or if he cannot then I guess plan B.

I sit on the sofa while Doctor Oct took off his lab coat suddenly I speak to him.

"Doctor," with a serious face I began to make a serious face, "we need to talk"

"Mm? Is there something I can help you, Mr. Harp?"

Oct walked into the sofa, his eyes staring at me making me thought...later that eyes even his body would mutate but it would also be his demise. At that time he would be a near-sighted to the extent that he was legally blind without the aid of his extremely thick eyeglasses, but he no longer appears to suffer from that problem, presumably through the use of a glass.

"Please, ask if that is something that I can take care of then maybe I can help," he said with a smile, "Do you want to ask about chemical reactions or formulas or some questions about your science major"

I smirked, "No it's not that Mr. Oct, I want to ask if you can work for me."

Matt paused narrowed his eyes, "what? You seems to be joking Mr. Harp please I'm not in a mood to follow your joke right no-"

"No, I'm not Mr. Harp I'm serious. Like I said I'm interested in you. Even your childhood years really a mess Otto Octavius"

His facade seems to drop. He moved forward grabbing my shirt saying "What's your motive boy how did you know that did you look at my background? Who are you"

"Wohh...calm down buddy seems like this personality of yours have planted ever since your childhood years huh? No wonder when you mutate at that time you anger seems to grow."

"What are you saying are you joking at me right now? What mutation, what anger? That's bullshit!"

"Ohh really? Otto Octavius a turbulent upbringing. His father, a factory worker, was abusive and violent towards both Otto and his mother, leading you to be shy and reclusive in school. However, at your mother's insistence, you were determined not to become like your father and threw all your efforts into education, regularly scoring top marks. I hinted that you were a low-level telepathic mutant whose powers emerged at puberty; this mutation may have been responsible for giving your father's an aneurysm as your father went to beat you. Your father's death in an industrial accident pushed you further towards the study of chemicals, and obsession with, physical science.

You were a brilliant and respected nuclear physicist, inventor, and lecturer. Becoming the youngest person to serve on the National Board of Nuclear Science. Then designed a set of highly advanced mechanical arms to assist you with your research into atomic physics. The tentacled arms were resistant to radiation and were capable of great strength and highly precise movement. They were attached to a harness that fit around his body."

Hearing this he lost grip of Zed's clothes as he sat back at the sofa looking at me.

"I'm not here to joke around Otto If you stay here even that girl would be your demise...your not convince? It's not a problem we can wait for that tomorrow"

"What's gonna happen tomorrow? Is this your work? A spy? Speak now or I'll call the securities"

"To think that you went here to what? Tsk." Oct swung his fists at me with such brute force. I dodge it easily It was my superior reflexes and minor training that lead me to this even weaknesses and strong points can be determined by me immediately. I stop and let him grip my neck just to satisfy him letting him catch me for fun.

"I need you, Otto, you're the man I need," I grip his hands as I slowly apply strength with my hand, sensing my grip he can't help but yelp as it slowly getting stronger which made him lose his grip at Zed's neck grabbing his leg, I threw him into the couch, "so sit down and listen well you otto my dear" fixing his crumpled clothes Zed sit back.

Otto seems to fell fear as he nervously sat down "Give me one reason why," he growled as he looks at me.

"I can help you with your research...you don't even need to worry the funds you can do whatever you want," I coughed.

"Your joke right? You? Tsk don't joke around kid"

"I'm not joking Otto your progress will be limited if you stay here and even if I won't say this...you will tomorrow..."

I coughed, "Oh well," I felt his gaze towards me the moment I mention that he will tomorrow

Matt looked up, "what do you mean tomorrow...what did you know?"

I sat down on his couch and took off his glasses, "you're smart Otto the things that will happen, I will not interfere" Otto look at me as he said,

"But why me?"

"Why not you?"

"I'm serious."

"So am I."

"You risk yourself coming here without assuring if I would agree? Did your parents know about this being you here?"

"I'm sure of that Mr. Octo you will definitely come to me tomorrow and if not then there's always a way do you know that?" I smirked. "Also, I already have no parents... they already died"

"I-i'm a sorry kid... But, I'm a serious kid. Why?"

"And I'm serious too, why not? Acquiring our dream and be successful why not? We can be free we can do whatever we want"

"But-"

"I want to have you because I can see the potential in you. Also, you need funds for your research so I offered you...we have our needs Otto think wisely."

I paused before continuing, "I will wait for your call Otto alright I think it's time for me to go"

"And in return?"

"Mmm...what did you say?"

"If I agreed what would be in return"

"Ohh...you will work for me Otto...only for me that's the only condition" I smirk.

Otto looked at me I don't know what he is thinking but I knew he was at least considering my offer. He sighed, "fine...Mr. Harp"

I walked out the window and pulled it open, "Zed...just call me Zed...Otto. I'll see you around just tell me your number I will call you tomorrow," I made my way to the door when I stop. I open my hand wide as a paper appeared in my hand...Zed turned around he looks at Otto as he said, "Here put a drop of your blood here then I can rest assured... Just don't worry about this it's just an assurance hehehe"

After the Otto drop the blood an ancient contract sign appear on his wrist as he looks at it dumbfounded by the mysteriousness of it. He could not understand how did it happen it was just too sudden. Zed did buy this when he went strolling along the way here he immediately buys two worth of 500 coins. One for Oct and one for a reserved right now he only has 4,290 because when he bought the basic skills, every one of them is worth 20 coins. Now he needs to find a way to get more coins for him to buy abilities he needed in the future.

"H-how!?"

"Hahaha surprised? Well, that's normal for the likes of you because this is foreign to you. Well...just calm down and don't worry about that you will not be restricted that contract just stated that in case you betrayed me you will feel pain"

"By the way..." I look at him while I removed my disguise after I removed it Otto could not help but open his mouth wide he could not even remove his gaze towards me as I look at him. His mouth keeps open and closes repeatedly my aura change as he could feel his knees going soft until he fell into the couch. I smiled at him as I put my index finger in the middle of my lips saying 'shhh' as I leap into the window smirking as I laugh at him.

Hearing Faijay's cheers as he swung through the air Otto gasped, "So beautiful, handsome, flawless, perf- w-wait did I started became gay or something? My gosh- the f.u.c.k what gosh no! No! I'm not gay!"

"Thank god I'm the only one who sees that face if Alice also sees that... Then, then does that mean my future wife would, would arghhhh!! "

"Oct what happen to you? where's Zed? Did he leave already? Tsk, it's a shame..the coffee..." Alice said walking towards him.

"Alice...if you see him...just, just don't approach him okay? Just... Don't fall for him- I mean argghhhh! Let's forget it let's go I will let you meet my mom okay?"

"W-what? what is happening!? Is there a problem Otto? "

"No, it's, it's better to meet my mom early Alice hahaha let's go"

The next day I turned on the TV and waited. I waited, and waited, and then;
