Chapter 29 - THE MUTATED LION IN THE ZOO

 David woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. he stood up and brushed his teeth, reveling in the newfound power of his body.

 The only thing he couldn't quite get used to was the increased sense of smell and the weird feeling in his body.

 The smell was still quite understandable but the feeling was just stuck in his body and mind, he couldn't figure out what it was but he could still feel it although he didn't know what to do about it.

 He took his bath then put on his clothes and took off for school, he had a major exam that day and he was well prepared to 'ace' his way through it by cheating.

 After dressing up, he could feel that the clothes could still fit him just fine meaning his body composition didn't change even the slightest bit.

 He walked out of his hostel and this time he didn't go to the bus station but took a taxi right to the exam hall.

 Since he had assets in the ten digits now he had to behave like one right?

 But the one thing that bewildered his was that if the restaurant was really a small scale business that was just established then how could its assets reach such an astronomical amount?

 But that didn't concern him since he wasn't a fan of sticking his nose into businesses that didn't concern him.

 After finishing his exams using the same trick he used previously he came out with a satisfied smile on his face.

 Jerry looked at him in amazement as he said "Hey man, is it just me or have you become a lot more confident lately?"

 David raised an eyebrow and said "What do you mean? Do you mean I haven't been confident before?"

 "No, not that, but I feel something about you has changed a lot lately."

 "Hmmm, is that so? Well I guess I've been becoming smarter lately" David said with a silly grin on his face.

 Jerry looked at his face with his mouth twitching.

 "You look smarter or duller?"

 "Hey, what do you mean by that man it hurts me" David said while clutching his chest in an exaggerated manner.

 Jerry laughed for a while then changed his expression and said "Man, I've been looking for places to get a new job since then but I haven't found one, it's so frustrating man"

 "Talking of this, I heard the motherfucker's restaurant was burnt to the ground recently and that it was done purposely by someone!"

 "I don't know who it was but I am so satisfied man, I nearly laughed my balls out when I heard the news." Jerry said while laughing his balls out.

 David was still thinking of how to dissuade Jerry from looking for jobs anymore when they suddenly heard a loud roar from the direction of the school's zoo.

 Looking in that direction they could see a worker of the zoo frantically fleeing for his life when a huge lion suddenly jumped out and bit his head off with one bite.

 The lion looked intimidating with a height of 2.5 meters and huge muscles with lightning zapping around its body and blue eyes.

 It let out another loud roar then jumped towards David's direction while he and Jerry remained frozen in place out of fear.

 An hour before the incident.

 The zoo worker was walking on the zoo along with another person who seemed to be his superior.

 "Sir, the lion has been showing weird signs since a few days ago, it looks like it has become a lot more aggressive since the day it accidentally injured itself with the electric nets."

 "What kind of symptoms has it been showing?"

 The worker stopped in front of the lion's cage then looked inside finding the lion asleep then said

 "It has grown bigger, when I mean bigger I mean a whole two times bigger and taller than before and even weirder is his eye color."

 "His eye color changed from white to pure blue and his body sometimes crackles with electricity!"

 The man looked into the cage and asked "Then what did you do to him for him to be this gentle?"

 "We gave him sedatives of course, that was the only solution I came to since he was going out of control so I decided to inform you."

 "Wait here for a minute, let me have a look at him." He said then opened the cage.

 "Sir, the lion is very aggressive you need to be very careful with it!" the worker shouted in a panic.

 He thought the man would show some caution but the man just waved and said "Don't worry about that, this isn't the first time I'm dealing with lions and besides I have seen all kinds of weird symptoms."

 "He'll be back to normal in no time." He assured and moved closer to the lion to observe him.

 The man's words would have been true if it were any normal lion but unfortunately for him, this lion was different from any other he had ever seen.

 The lion suddenly opened its eyes staring at the man then biting his head off in one swift move and rushing towards the now unlocked door.

 The worker watched this scene in terror then ran for his life while the lion chased after him.
