"Felice!" The madam widened her eyes and tried to help Felice, only to be stopped by the man.
Meanwhile, the two that fought Felice walked to her and saw her dropping to the ground as blood began to dye the floor.
"Tch. This girl made us—" When the wind user was about to say something, the wind blew her hair before she sensed another person behind her.
It was Jules's son, the current head of the Campbell Family, Bastien Campbell. He glared at the woman while asking, "She made you what?"
The two sucked a cold breath as the room temperature dropped. No one could react when this man appeared and when they were about to see his face to confirm his identity, the latter already grabbed both women's heads.
Ice began to appear on top of their heads and slowly moved to their neck.
At the same time, the two struggled and somehow managed to catch a glimpse of his face.
"Bastien Campb—" Before she spoke, Bastien used all his strength on his hand and shattered the ice, including her head. Meanwhile, he froze the other one for further investigation.
The guy recognized Bastien, but the latter had already disappeared. The moment he realized, Bastien was already behind her and slammed both the guy and the fire user's heads to the ground while freezing them. "All of you are bastards who pick a fight with children."
After that, he made his way to Felice and lifted her up to check her condition. It turned out, Felice was still awake and fighting against her wound.
The blood on the floor was the necessary blood to fool them while she used her Telekinetic Power to create a small barrier that prevents blood from coming out.
Although he wanted to praise this little girl for doing such a thing, he quickly asked, "Put away your hand. I will freeze the wound first and we will go to the hospital."
Felice nodded and retracted the barrier. The blood ended up spurting out of the wound for a split second, but Bastien froze it instantly.
He then looked at the madam. "In one minute, my subordinates will be here. If any of these guys show any sign of waking up, kill them. We have enough people to interrogate anyway."
The madam nodded and Bastied quickly carried Felice to the hospital with her speed.
After her stomach went numb, she opened her eyes and looked at Bastien. "Mister… There is another hostage…"
"Don't worry. I have sent my wife and elites there. They should be able to finish it soon." Bastien assured her that everything was going to be alright. "I should praise you for calling Arnaud or I won't realize it for another few hours."
"I am just following Big Brother Kai's advice," Felice answered. Her face was pale and her tone was weak, but she didn't get any weaker than the previous one.
"I see. That's good. For now, I will let the hospital heal you and since the situation is not over yet, I will protect you in the hospital. This can be one of the repayments for strengthening my daughter." Bastien smiled. "Don't say anything so as to not waste any energy and stay awake. I'm sure Kai Carter will be proud of you."
Felice followed his instruction and remained silent until they reached the hospital.
Meanwhile, at another location, Bastien's wife, Regine Campbell, had also found Julia and opened her lock as the elites swept the entire place clean.
"Julia, do you know anything about this kidnapping? Who are they?" Regine asked with a cold expression.
"I am sorry, Madam."
"No need to say sorry. Just answer my question for now because I'm afraid the situation is not that simple." Regine shook her head.
Julia began to tell her about what happened during the call and such before realizing that Arnaud's call must have come from someone in the orphanage who managed to take advantage of the situation.
Regine couldn't help but smile as she said, "It seems a genius attracts another genius. Not only the teacher, but the student will soon become a teacher as well."
Julia didn't understand what she meant but didn't ask anything.
"Anyway, the rescue operation was successful. And I don't think you should go anywhere for the time being, Julia… The condition is unstable right now, especially in the Union. Many people are taking advantage of this situation to do something against Kai Carter or the people he knows." Regine narrowed her eyes before letting out a long sigh, feeling the headache just thinking about this matter.
Julia repeatedly nodded. "I know, Madam. I won't do anything outside."
"That's good. In any case, this will create a certain big movement in the Union… It's better to watch it from the sideline instead of getting entangled with it." Regine smiled and shrugged. "Anyway, let's go home. The others will handle the rest."
Julia agreed as he followed Regine outside.
…
Meanwhile, in Latvia, Kai finally arrived at the ambush zone where he located fifty people standing on top of the cliff, staring at him.
The people above wore a formal black suit and black sunglasses, looking at him with a serious expression.
"Who are you?" Kai shouted at the woman and, at the same time, called all those people.
"It seems your brain is good for welfare only, not for something like this. You're pitiful." The woman squinted her eyes and snorted. She chuckled and continued, "Do you think we will give you our identity?"
Kai fell silent as the woman said, "All we want is the method to get stronger. Give it to use right now unless you want the children and that little maid to die. Ah, before that…"
The woman looked at two women and one man, signaling them to come down.
At the same time, she grabbed Kai's weapon as she pushed him forward.
Kai knew that this woman wanted the three people to beat him up first.
"It seems that you're not going to play this quietly." Kai narrowed his eyes and glared at the woman.
"Hmph. Your head is already too high. We need to lower you first before executing you. Then we will release the video to the world, making them know our power." The woman laughed.
"And you're going to use my method to rule the world." Kai gritted his teeth.
"It seems you're not that foolish. Now, you are going to choose whether you want to save all the children or the entire world. I wonder what your little lover will see if you abandon the children to save the world." The woman made an evil grin as she was excited to see what kind of face he would make. She then looked at the three and said, "You three. Beat him up for me."
"Yes." The three nodded and came closer.
"If you make a move, we will kill the children immediately." The woman smirked.
Kai kept glaring at her before turning around to see the other three when they arrived in front of him.
"You… Are you going to beat me up?! You won't be able to beat me." Kai appeared to be arrogant as he looked down on these three.
The guy didn't like his tone and raised his hand. "Then, I will show you how I beat you right now!"
"No, you won't be able to beat me." When he saw the man's fist, Kai quickly lowered his head and leaped into the air. His eyes widened as the veins on his forehead bulged, showing his anger. He used his new magic on his boot and kicked the man's head.
The force was so strong that it sent the man's head flying to the air without its body. At the same time, he used the second foot to kick the two women, showing the same result.
He then grabbed his swords back and slashed the woman's feet.
"Argh!" The woman screamed, but none of them could react as they saw Kai killing three of them.
The woman fell to the ground before Kai ordered. "Roselyn, you kill all the people on the left. Sofia, make sure she doesn't die or commit suicide."
"You bastard, the children will die because of your choice!" The woman shouted in anger while enduring the excruciating pain.
"No, I'm saving them…" Kai snorted and waved his sword to the cliff on the right as he released his Sonokinetic Blade that was so sharp to the point it cut the cliff diagonally before a huge shock wave destroyed the remaining connection the cliff had. A portion of the cliff fell down from that one slash and engulfed ten people into the rubbles. Kai said while releasing his killing intent. "I'm pissed off right now."
