"Are you serious?" Venya put on a mask and approached Marcel who was lying on the cleaned practice table. "I can't guarantee what the reaction will be ... Why don't we use mice or something?"Marcel looked up at the ceiling above him thoughtfully.A while ago, he had indeed offered himself to Venya to be a guinea pig in their trials."Good idea," Marcel said. "Every formula we come up with should be tested on humans and animals, only then will we know the difference."Venya nodded and quickly took a tube of bright green liquid and put a few drops into Marcel's mouth."How does it taste?" Venya asked carefully after Marcel swallowed the green liquid. "What do you feel, nausea? Feeling like vomiting ... or what?"Marcel tasted the liquid, he felt a bitter sensation for a few seconds. Afterward he tasted nothing but bland water with no mixture at all."No reaction yet," Marcel replied. "It was bitter at first, but suddenly the taste just disappeared and turned into plain water.""Oh yeah
"Mum and Dad are going out of town for a week!""Oh yeah? How exciting!""My life is free, call Brother Ronnie! Ask him to come home soon ....""We can have a party for three days and nights!"The kitchen was abuzz when Marcel appeared to help Nana prepare the food."Are you on holiday with mum or what?" Alvon asked curiously."I don't know, who cares anyway? The important thing is that we can do whatever we want at home!" replied Ciko immediately. "It'll be fun if we have a party ....""Don't be absurd, I actually want to use this quiet moment to watch a science fiction film." Alvon interrupted. "Parties make the house noisy, and I don't really like that.""You can stay in your room, lock the door and watch all you want." Ciko suggested. "I guarantee no one will bother you!"While her siblings argued, Shirley preferred to play with her mobile phone and not participate in the conversation."Marcel, where's the food!" shouted Ciko impatiently. "You're so slow!""Yeah, slow!" chirped Al
"I can't be sure," the woman shook her head. "But what is certain is that you are not like me, my father, and other humans ... Your blood seems to be created with complicated elements that I don't really understand ... Maybe that's why, you have different reactions when you should feel the pain of being scalded, or your energy is quickly replenished even though you only eat a little bread ...."Marcel was silent for a long time, listening to Venya's explanation about the irregularities."Could it be because I ... drank that liquid?" said Marcel while thinking hard. "Unfortunately I don't know what kind of liquid I drank, maybe you can research it if you have some left over ...."Venya shook her head, she remembered very well what the atmosphere was like when she first smuggled into the lab with her father."When my father and I arrived, there were mop marks on the floor that were full of dust." Venya described."Do you see any other marks? Maybe the bottle I drank from ... or some lef
That night the atmosphere at the Delvino family residence was so frenetic with the sound of music, the stomping of people dancing, accompanied by flickering lights that made my eyes hurt.Marcel had been going back and forth delivering drinks to the center of the party with the help of Eli and Nana. None of them recognized Marcel as the son-in-law of the house."Drink here, hey!""Hurry up, where's the food!""Marcel, don't be slow!""Shirley, take care of that one waitress!"Marcel, who was still busy clearing up the empty glasses on the table, felt his arm being pulled roughly.He turned around and came face to face with his own wife."What have you been doing all this time?" scolded Shirley as she roughly threw Marcel's arm away. "How's that dish? They're starving because of you!""I was cleaning up, didn't you see?" retorted Marcel amidst the deafening noise of the music. "Tell your friends to wait a minute!"Shirley pursed her lips when she heard Marcel dare to argue."Drink, hey
"Shirley!" scolded Marcel, who felt his blood boil, not out of jealousy but because his status as husband and son-in-law in this house was never considered at all."Dude, she's my wife!" said Marcel again in a louder voice. "Keep your hands off her!"Both Shirley and the man turned to Marcel."What's wrong with you?" scoffed the man with a flushed face. "Am I bothering you, Beautiful?"Shirley chuckled."Don't you mind my husband, Peter!" She waved her hand as she giggled amused. "He's probably tired because he's been busy attending to our needs."Marcel shook his head as he watched two humans who were completely ignorant of his existence."Stop this party!" Marcel ordered Shirley sternly. "It's almost morning already, don't you think about other people's peace?""Who the hell is that, so loud?""Can't you just enjoy the atmosphere?"Ronnie and Ciko's voices interrupted each other."This is it, Bro! Marcel's ruining our peace!" exclaimed Shirley as she glanced sarcastically at Marcel.
However, Ronnie squealed when he knuckles slammed into Marcel's stomach.It felt like he was slamming his skin against the surface of a solid wall."Why, Ron?""Bri, why are you in pain?""I'm not in pain!" argued Ronnie for the sake of prestige, he glanced at Marcel who seemed confused by this situation."Go away!" shooed Ronnie as he pushed Marcel away. "Don't interrupt our fun!"Ciko and the others gaped."Ron, are you just going to leave like that?" protested Ciko with a furrowed brow. "If you can't bear to beat him up, let me teach him a lesson!""No, no!" Ronnie intervened, but Ciko still wanted to continue the fight with Marcel, who had done nothing wrong."You're an ignorant brother-in-law!" Ciko swore as he pushed Marcel's shoulder until he stumbled into one of the friends behind him, then he was pushed towards Ciko again and pushed back towards the people surrounding him.And so on until Marcel got fed up and ...."That's enough!" shouted Marcel as he looked around with an a
The chaos of the party was finally contained until the sun was almost up.After his brothers-in-law were laid to rest in their respective rooms, Marcel and the other servants struggled to clear up the party rubbish and clean the room until there were no more traces of drinking."I'm so tired!" Marcel complained in front of Venya when he came to the lab early. "This is the formula you gave me, I only used a little. The servants said that they felt unusual energy."Venya took the formula back and looked at Marcel. "Are you coming to drink?""I forgot ....""They should keep their stamina up for the next few hours, but you look weak already ...."Marcel laid down beside Meru who was busy scribbling on a paper.Venya quickly made Marcel something in the lab, which was a modern concoction of several ingredients mixed and concocted according to the knowledge he had gained so far."Drink up," Venya ordered as she handed Marcel a filled cup."What is this, Venya?""You won't understand even i
Marcel was busy cleaning up the garden when the corner of his eye accidentally caught sight of some people sneaking towards the shed."Bro, why are we the ones who look like thieves?" Ciko commented as he walked after Ronnie who was at the forefront.However, Alvon was the only one who acted like nothing had happened."This is our neighborhood!" said Ciko again."Shut up," Ronnie snapped. "You should know that the warehouse is part of our neighborhood, but there's something you never knew ....""What?" asked Ciko."The lab underneath belongs to Marcel's parents," Ronnie informed him."Seriously?" said Alvon dubiously."I don't believe it," Ronnie snapped as he continued to walk."How can Marcel's parents build a lab right under our shed?" asked Ciko incredulously."I don't really know what their deal is, but that's what I heard from Dad." Ronnie explained. "The reason is to avoid interference from the outside world, such as people coming to visit, or so that their discoveries don't be
