Chapter 458: Reactions

Meanwhile, in the Union Base, Arnaud and Jules just woke up from their hallucination.

"Woah?!" Jules shouted out loud while looking around to see if they were safe or not. "What the heck happened?"

Arnaud narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "I don't know. There is a huge gap within my memory. I only know a few things like that person said and it seems we have agreed to leave that place."

"Yeah. Returning here from Pakistan…" Jules frowned and contemplated for a few seconds. "I guess we have our mission. Let's return shall we?"

"Agreed." Arnaud nodded with a small smile. "We will talk on the way."

"Sure." Jules and Arnaud then began picking up their pace while having small talk. "So, what are the things you know?"

"I only know that we visited somewhere in Pakistan and learned there is a huge mysterious organization that has survived for so long there. Their strength is far above the three bases, so it's not wise to challenge them. From what I know, they can kill a single S Rank Magical Beast in one on one. That's why it's better not to challenge them in the future.

"I don't know if the Union will swallow it easily, but we have served our purpose. I personally have no intention of going to war because there's something inside me telling me to avoid any confrontation with them. Hence, I will trust this one.

"Kai Carter seems to be a special person in their organization. Although Kai himself doesn't know about it, he is regarded that highly for different reasons. It's better to create a mutual relationship with him instead of forcing him to do something. That's why I asked Sofia to stand by there.

"Last but not least, the Magic Power that we have thought this whole time is actually a Magic Particle. They have a physique but smaller than an atom. That's why it's hard to find them. It's impossible to recreate it with science or that's what I know according to the information."

Arnaud explained everything to him before asking, "Do you have any other information?"

"No. My knowledge is the same as yours." Jules shook his head and sighed. "It seems the one that is protecting Kai Carter is bigger than I thought. Well, he will be my grandson-in-law, so it's fine."

"Oi, oi. Are you planning to destroy the Union?"

"Nope." Jules shrugged and continued, "I simply have no intention of using my granddaughter anymore after knowing this. First of all, the fact of Magic Particles alone is already enough for us. This will make our research become even faster, especially regarding the exoskeleton.

"There is a chance that we will be able to create a sustainable exoskeleton or the more extreme case… We will create an unmanned robot that is powered by Magic Particles."

Arnaud nodded in agreement. "Indeed. That's a huge boost in development. But I believe Kai will inform the US Base as well. We only have the advantage because of our current research."

"Still, I'm worried about the fact that their lives will be in danger." Jules let out a long sigh. "First of all, if we tell this to the Union, there is a chance it will leak to a terrorist organization. Although they are condemned and in small groups, they are still like a tumor."

"Indeed. They are still thinking about wiping out humanity when we're on the brink of extinction. But I now have a different perspective regarding them." Arnaud narrowed his eyes and released his killing intent. "They will try to kidnap them, right?"

"Yes. First of all, I have a plan to save my daughter. As long as she is with him, she won't be harmed. After all, Kai can listen to almost everything around him. Kai himself won't be a problem since the only way to kidnap him is to send a person that can kill an S Rank Magical Beast, which is impossible to find. The only problem will be your agent, Roselyn."

"Ugh." Arnaud gritted his teeth, knowing it was true. "You're planning to send your granddaughter to the US Base again?"

"She will live together with him sooner or later, so I guess it's fine. Maybe I should ask her to stay in Kai's house after the three months training and three months school period." Jules thought as if he just got a brilliant idea.

"Oi, oi. I'm not going to process the paperwork for you."

"What paperwork? I only know that my granddaughter is in love with someone and chases him to the US Base. That's all." Jules shrugged. If it were this way, it would make the entire situation easier to swallow.

However, Arnaud knew the importance of this matter. When he was about to reply, Jules stopped him and glared at him, asking his opinion about Roselyn's safety.

"According to the information, Roselyn should have the ability to fight against an S Rank Magical Beast after three months, so I don't think I will need to worry about her that much. Still, I will send some agents to protect her in secret." Arnaud sighed.

"Indeed. Well, we can wipe them out with that ability too." Jules frowned and felt this was a good idea. "Maybe we can purposely leak the information to them to destroy them. Roselyn will be strong enough to protect herself. The only problem will be drugs."

"Yes. We need to plan it carefully. If it's too much, we will cancel the project. After all, Roselyn might become stronger than you after this training." Arnaud grinned.

"Haha, I will be waiting for it. I feel like getting stronger again today." Jules laughed. "Well, it's time for the youngsters to surpass us."

"Us? No, it's you. I'm still young." Arnaud shrugged. "I'm one generation below you."

"Whatever." Jules didn't care since he had both Kai and Sofia. The Union wouldn't be able to receive their wrath if they planned to do something funny to his Campbell Family after all. There was no point in worrying.

"That's right. Now I'm afraid the terrorist organizations will start moving to the US Base too. Kai still has a weakness which is his squad. I don't think we need to worry about an S Rank Magician like Michelle Graham and Tasha Carter, but there are Kudo Ayaka and Evan Young.

"Kudo Ayaka's fighting prowess is quite high and she is moving together with Michelle Carter most of the time. The problem will be Evan Young. He is often going with Isabelle Fisher and her group. If it continues, I'm afraid there is a chance they will attack them to lure him out."

Jules's expression turned cold as he nodded in agreement. "In that case, we will have to notify the US Base to start protecting them in secret. Kai Carter's family is also a target of priority. All I know is that if Kai Carter is disappointed in humanity, we will go extinct."

"Agreed."

"Well, we also have a message to his group, so I think it's better to send it together with this warning." Jules pondered the matter and continued, "For now, I will contact my family to start closing the gate to avoid any spies in my family. After that, I will begin moving around my elites accordingly."

"I will buy time as long as possible by "making the report". The best I can give you probably seven days. I want you to send a private message to the US Base too, informing them about Kai's matter. We have a written statement from him about his condition too, so it's not that big of a deal."

"Don't worry. Leave it to me." Jules nodded. After that, the two continued talking about the problem and headed back to the base.

Two days later.

Michelle sat down on the couch with a serious expression, looking at Evan and Ayaka. "I don't think we will have a good time after this, considering Kai will stay for three more months than expected. What do you think about it?"

"What can we do? I have been informed to avoid going alone too because Captain faces a quite big problem." Evan shrugged.

"Well, I don't have a problem. Maybe we can stay together?" Ayaka asked Michelle.

"Fair enough. Maybe I can ask Kai's parents about us staying over until Kai returns. If we explain the situation, they will agree. Kai will probably agree since it's just a matter of time. We can protect them during the night too while the other secret agents protect them during the day." Michelle nodded in agreement.

"I'm not going to stay together, okay?" Evan raised his hand and rejected the decision. "I will just stay together with Isabelle. I think both of us are targeted, so it's easier for us to protect each other."

Michelle agreed and said, "Yeah. You can do that. I will inform Tasha about this matter."

"Sure. I hope she doesn't mind." Ayaka smiled.

"Of course, we will be together for a long time, so it's best to do it this early. Although Tasha dislikes the idea, it has been diminished, so she will agree without hesitation."

The two nodded with a serious expression.

…

Meanwhile, Tasha, in the base near Alaska, sat down and watched the scenery while feeling the chilling breeze to cool her down.

"Hmm… I see. I think I need to step up my game." She smiled before sensing someone behind her.

"You are in trouble, girl?" A middle-aged woman came to her with a smile. "I have returned to the battlefield due to your request, so I will be teaching you to the best of my ability."

"No. Kai is going to soar even higher, I can't afford to stay like this, Ma'am."

"You don't need to be polite when we're alone. This is only a temporary position, so let's just enjoy our time."

Tasha smiled and turned around, looking at her. "Yes, Professor."
