Chapter 241 - Upcoming Plans

"What do you mean I'm overreacting?! They're the ones who're trying to kill me out of nowhere! I didn't even do anything to them!" Arthur complained to Yuki in a frustrated tone as he didn't understand why Yuki even bothered to try to justify their actions.

"What do you mean we're the ones trying to kill you out of nowhere?! You tried to kill all of us first! This is just revenge!" Batol replied with a yell which was followed by the chanting of everyone else as they agreed with him.

"How could I possibly try to kill you while I was still inside the building?! I was literally fighting someone else while you were all outside!" Arthur complained as he grew with frustration as he couldn't endure listening to the stupidity that came out of Baby's mouth.

The tension between the two sides began to grow as they both wanted to kill each other. However Yuki couldn't allow that to happen so instead of watching from the side lines, Yuki decided to finally step up and do his job as the clan leader.

"Relax there you two, I'll explain everything that happened," said Yuki which got both Batol and his group's attention along with Arthur's attention as they all turned to listen to what Yuki had to say.

Although it was a little startling to have so many eyes looking at him, Yuki mustered the courage to do his job as the clan leader of FFF's WD.

"I think this is what happened. While we were all inside the GNE building, Arthur began to get irritated at the last remaining member of the enemy group which came to stop us since he wasn't willing to admit defeat.. Of course Arthur could have simply killed him right then and there but that wouldn't be enough for him to be fully satisfied. As such, Arthur asked me if he could change his ability. Although that would come at the cost of my clan not functioning properly for the next 2 weeks or so, I still allowed it since I trusted his judgment. After I allowed that to take place, he told us all to go outside. I understood those words to mean that he was going to go all out and if we were to get injured, he would feel bad. After I understood Arthur's command, I led us all outside," Yuki said as he began to explain.

"However I believe that you all thought something else. Due to Arthur not having finished his battle, you probably thought that he was struggling. As such, you took his words to be that which were supposed to protect us in the form of Arthur holding back the enemy and us running away," Yuki said while looking at Batol and the others.

"In the end, you never expected Arthur to change his ability into one which was so dangerous, especially due to how he makes himself look like the most peaceful man in the world who despises fighting. Unfortunately for all

of you, that mentality was shattered when Arthur caused the entire building to explode which sent debris in all directions, as such, some of them were close to hitting you guys. Although I don't understand your concern that you could have easily broken them," Yuki finished explaining which finally allowed Arthur to realize why everyone from the attack force except Yuki had tried to kill him.

"Wait so you all thought I was going to lose for a moment?! Even after I killed the woman without a moment of hesitation? Do you all really have that little of an expectation from me?" Arthur asked in a slightly disappointed tone since he was once revered as the strongest man in the world. Now, even his only clanmates don't believe that he's reliable. 

"I guess it's my fault for allowing myself to be pushed to the shadows. I see I haven't been able to show off my full capabilities to the rest of you quite yet. Don't worry though, there will be a time where you regret ever doubting my strength," Arthur warned Batol and the others.

"Relax Arthur, it's not serious, let's head home for now and then maybe you'll feel better about yourself," said Yuki with a sigh.

In another place in the world, discussions were being made to decide how to move forward after the defeat of the special squadron that was sent out to bring a halt to Yuki's plans.

There were a few dozen people, all in black suits which were in a council-like room while they walked, discussing the most troubling topic of the year, Yuki Kaito.

"Why the hell isn't that boy dead yet? I thought we had already killed him! So why is he alive in a whole other continent? What's worse is that not only is he alive but he's the leader of his very own clan. Our troubles didn't end there though as he managed to merge WD which was already the number I clan in the world with FFF which was a powerhouse on its own and also having the greatest level average in the world. That means that he has the support of Arthur and Batol which rumours say that they're not working with him but for him!`` One man in the room complained with a clearly frustrated face as he didn't understand when things got as bad as they currently were. 

"What are we even supposed to do now? It's more hopeless than it was last year. During that time, he was still vastly stronger than everyone in the world but he wasn't like this. He was alone so attacking him would be easy, all we had to worry about was how to win. Now, he literally had an unbreakable wall in the form of his mega clan which consists of people which we in general would have a lot of trouble dealing with. With the loss of our special attack force gone, we have no choice but to launch a full scale attack on them!" another one in the room explained to everyone.

"That's easier said than done. How are we supposed to take down such a force? Even our generals won't be enough to stop them," another man added on.

"Come on, there's no reason to doubt our 2 generals. After all they're the strongest weapons we have at our disposal. However I must agree, even they won't be enough to put a stop to Yuki Kaito," a man with the name tag "Bill" said to everyone in the room.

"So what should we do then?! If those two can't win, it's a lost cause. We have no chance of defeating Yuki Kaito and his clan," a man with the name tag "Alex" said in a clearly frustrated tone as Bill was only listing the obvious and not actually putting any ideas on the table as to how to defeat Yuki. However right as Alex asked this question, Bill gave a smirk as if Alex fell for Bill's trap.

"I never technically said that we had to fight them on our own, after all, there's no shame in playing dirty with criminals," said Bill with a sinister smirk.

"Can you elaborate?" Alex asked in an intrigued tone.

"Well since we are the global government and we basically control a large majority of the world's economy, let's say that we were to hypothetically pay other clans to join up with us and take down FFF's WD?" Bill asked as his face grew more evil by the second.

"It's not a bad idea when you think about it. We wouldn't even have to pay the clans that much silver either since they already want to defeat the mega clan. With them on our side, we can use them as either body shields or a proper army. If they're useful enough? They'll take down a large chunk of FFF's WD for us. While that's happening, we can move in with our 2 generals which will be boosted with potions and have them attack Yuki Kaito simultaneously. That way, we can wipe them all out all at once," Bill explained which seemed to surprise everyone as they hadn't thought of that before.

"I do have to say, that's a marvellous idea. However one question still remains, how are we supposed to deal with a situation where Yuki is boosted with potions? I mean think about it, by the time that our two generals reach Yuki, it would be too late as he can just absorb potions until they reach him. It's not like we can send them to him first since the rest of his members which are in the higher echelon of the clan can just keep our generals busy until Yuki is finished drinking his potions, either way, we still won't be able to

stop him from drinking potions and vastly out matching our generals," Alex countered to which Bill's grin grew as he had a plan even for a situation similar to what Alex had just explained.

"Don't worry about that either, I have a plan to deal with that problem as well," said Bill, which seemed to catch everyone's attention as their eyes widened while looking at him with suspense.
