Chapter 493: Sweden

The lady held her black hair to avoid getting blown away before she suddenly found something weird in the ocean.

"Hmm?!" She narrowed her eyes and saw that red spots gradually appeared on the sea as corpses began to float on the surface.

The middle-aged man seemed to have recognized what was happening too and muttered, "Milady, I think that is…"

"Yes." She nodded and smiled. "What a guy, it seems I underestimated his power. He is no doubt the strongest person in the world."

She quickly walked to the edge, wanting to see what was happening, albeit it didn't last too long.

After a few minutes, Kai had reached the island and came out of the water, leaping to the ground where the two people waited.

He was drenched before making sure that his swords, backpack, and device were still with him.

"Ha, it's a harsh journey." Kai took a deep breath while taking off his shirt, squeezing all the water inside it. He then looked at the black-haired girl and the old man with a calm expression.

The black-haired girl quickly lowered her head and lifted her skirt a bit while crossing her feet. "Nice to meet you, Sir Kai Carter. I would like to apologize first for giving you such a ridiculous request. And I would like to thank you for accepting it."

The middle-aged man stared at him in shock and hadn't recovered ever since. It was the girl who was weird since Kai just did something that couldn't be replicated by anyone in this world.

Even if they used a boat or something, it was already useless. Yet, the man before him actually swam across the ocean, showing that his strength was unfathomable.

The middle-aged man knew that the moment Kai wanted them to die, they wouldn't live past tomorrow, so he tried to calm his heart down.

The woman, on the other hand, asked Kai, "I think it's best to head back to my place first. Do you need anything?"

Kai flapped his shirt a few times to dry it while saying, "Food and water I guess. A set of new clothes is good too."

"Certainly." The woman signaled the middle-aged man to pick up everything they had prepared. "There are new clothes for you in our car. As for lunch, let me take you to the nearest restaurant."

Kai didn't reject her and stood before her, looking into her eyes. He wanted to see what kind of person was known as a genius in politics.

Surprisingly, the black-haired girl seemed to be only a few years older than him. She might be at the same age as Tasha in his opinion. However, her eyes truly felt different.

Unlike any other pair of eyes he had seen, her sharp and calm eyes actually poked his heart as if telling him its superiority.

Kai obviously didn't accept it and stared with his own pride, showing her that he wasn't someone she could see through.

The black-haired girl wore a one-piece white dress, making her look graceful with the contrast of her hair.

She took one step back and introduced herself. "Nice to meet you, Sir Kai Carter. My name is Marsha Posten. I am the prime minister of Sweden."

"I am not a man who knows a lot about etiquette, so I apologize for my lack of etiquette in advance. I'm Kai Carter." Kai nodded and introduced himself.

"As much as I want to talk with you, I believe we should go to the car first. I believe you are freezing in here." She extended her hand to the car, asking him to go inside first to change his clothes. The chilling wind brushed their skin. Although they still had a month to go before Christmas, the temperature had indeed gone down.

Kai agreed with her and saw that the middle-aged man held his new clothes.

Kai grabbed the clothes as they allowed him to change inside the car. Kai took their offer and changed into his new suit.

Looking at this white shirt and long brown pants coupled with the warm sweater, he felt a bit refreshed after the long swim. He then grabbed the towel and rubbed his hair, drying them.

After Kai opened the door, the middle-aged man and the woman finally entered the car. The middle-aged man drove them to the nearby restaurant, where they stared at each other's eyes, including the middle-aged man.

Seeing his gaze, the middle-aged man finally introduced himself. "My name is Firhan Shadah, the acting Prime Minister of Sweden. However, knowing that there's someone better than me, I know that I will one day give this position to her, so it's fine to work for her this whole time."

Kai nodded as he didn't care much about their background. He only wanted to know one thing and it was the sole purpose of this journey. "I just want to know whether you can bring down the French Prime Minister."

Kai leaked a bit of his killing intent to show them that if they were just bluffing, he would take this matter personally and might do something bad to them.

Firhan gulped down as sweats began to cover his forehead, but Marsha seemed different from a random girl.

Instead of flinching, she had a smile on her face as she was excited to see that the conversation had finally gone serious.

"As expected from the genius of warfare, even your killing intent makes me tremble in fear," said Marsha with a pale face. She then took a deep breath and calmed her heart down before continuing, "I can see that you don't like wasting your time, so I will cut to the chase. When do you want him to fall?"

"Ho? A bold claim." Kai narrowed his eyes.

"It's my confidence. I am not someone who likes to do something meaningless, you know." She then extended her hand and continued, "I can bring him down right now if you want."

"That will be great, but I'm afraid you will face a consequence bigger than you can imagine." Kai shook his head, feeling that there would be a protector hiding behind the Prime Minister. If the French Prime Minister went down, the protector might do something unbelievable.

"It seems that you know something I don't know. Is there a threat… A physical threat?" She managed to discover the problem immediately, amusing Kai.

After thinking for a while, Kai replied, "Indeed. Just like me, who doesn't know the depth of politics, the battlefield is scarier than you can imagine."

The girl didn't feel offended and agreed without hesitation. "I see. In that case, I would like to hear everything from you first."

"No." Kai shook his head, not liking things proceeding that way.

The girl understood his intention and corrected her words. "Then, each of us will ask a question in succession."

"Sure."

"You can go first."

Kai immediately took that chance without caring about "Lady First" and asked, "I want to know his weaknesses."

"There are a few scandals that I can open right now to throw him off that seat. Although it's better to explain it back in my place, I will list three of them here. Magical Beast Blood, Inhumane Research, and Biological Weapons."

Kai squinted his eyes and nodded. "I would like to see the details later."

"Certainly." The girl smiled and asked her question. "Then, it's my turn. I want to know the threat."

Kai thought for a moment and glanced at the middle-aged man.

"Don't worry. I can guarantee his identity." The girl nodded. She knew that Kai acted like he trusted her even though he didn't trust her even a little bit. The reason he started this conversation was to see whether the girl was indeed the true ruler of Sweden.

Hence, to prove her identity, the girl suddenly took out her device and showed a few pictures and logs to show her conversation with Arnaud and other Rank S Magicians.

"…" Kai contemplated for a moment and finally opened his mouth. "You should know the invaders from the sea, right?"

"No wonder. It's going to cause a huge uproar if such a thing indeed backs him up." The girl obviously knew about the creature since they were fighting against them too, even though it wasn't as often as the US Base.

After a minute, the girl suddenly asked, "Suppose I get rid of the prime minister… Can you guarantee the safety of the citizens?"

"Nope. But I can help you kill it."

"…" The girl closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. "I see. It's going to be difficult, but the situation is salvageable. I can even frame him… It seems we really need to discuss this later."

Kai nodded and glanced at the door of their private room opened by the server bringing the food.
