The Magician of Sound

Chapter 500 - Debate

Meanwhile, in the Union Headquarters, specifically inside their meeting room.

Eight people assembled behind the round table, sitting on their chairs with an uncomfortable expression. All of them already knew what happened the moment they saw the news.

Marsha and Oliver had been fighting against each other in the Union as the two strongest political parties. The fact that Marsha decided to make a move must mean she had some assurance she would win.

That was why when Marsha invited them for an emergency meeting in the headquarters, all Union Members, AKA National Leaders, hurriedly emptied their schedule and rushed here. Everyone except the concerned party, Oliver.

Bang.

The sound of the door slammed open resounded in their ears as Marsha walked inside the room with a long black dress. She tied her hair into a ponytail and wore silk glove arms.

Her expression was cold and aloof as she walked gracefully to her seat.

Marsha always sent the old man to attend this since the latter was the official Prime Minister. But the fact that she came here just gave a more powerful impact on them because every single one of them knew that whatever she wanted to discuss here would decide the fate of the EU Base.

After taking her seat, she politely smiled at them as a greeting. "I am thankful that everyone has made their time for me."

"Enough, Marsha. With you coming here instead of that old man just shows how grave the situation is. You have started the war with Oliver and now what do you want from us?"

"I know that some of you are on his side, but I'm sure that I can convince you today." Marsha smiled and continued, "There's something you need to know before that. First of all, do you know anything about the war happening in the US Base?"

"War?" Their expression turned grave as one of them said, "Do you mean the mutated monster? No, should I say, another intelligent race besides the Human Race?"

Marsha nodded calmly. "Exactly. They're the ones behind Oliver."

"What?!" Everyone dropped their jaws to the ground, not believing what they heard. Normally, people thought they needed to welcome other intelligent races because they might be able to coexist with them, but the political leaders had their own information network.

Hence, all of them knew that this intelligent race was actually a threat to their lives. All of them had their own contact with those people, only to find all their subordinates were annihilated like a pig.

Just like if an alien race attacked them and showed no intention in negotiation, they would choose to fight against them. With this kind of information and experience in their mind, they all realized how grave the situation had truly become.

Still, as one would expect from Oliver, his connection was too deep as they couldn't waver with a simple statement. One of his supporters said, "I don't believe it. You need to show us proof first."

"Of course." Marsha smiled and took out her device before showing them a few pictures. The pictures turned out to be the two corpses that Kai, Sofia, and Roselyn killed.

Kai realized how strong Marsha was due to these pictures.

She already had a suspicion when Oliver wanted to send Kai and the two girls to a specific place, so she investigated it with the help of Arnaud.

As soon as she knew about the potential of two protectors, she quickly imposed an information lockdown, preventing anyone from this place from knowing about the protectors.

Since Kai would benefit from this and it was also a part of Kai's plan, Arnaud agreed to cooperate with Marsha and sent everything related to the protectors to her instead of the Union.

In other words, before they even thought about striking Oliver, the plan was already in motion. From that moment, Kai understood why Marsha was known as a genius in politics.

"These pictures were taken a few weeks ago in Latvia. Surprisingly, there were two of them hiding, waiting for Kai Carter and the two girls to arrive. I'm sure you already realize what's going on, right?

"Before saying anything, I have confirmed that the enemies have someone inside this damn base. I don't need to spell it for you, right?" She made an evil smirk.

"You…" The man gritted his teeth as his forehead started getting covered with sweat. "This is not a negotiation anymore. This is a threat."

All Oliver's supporters knew exactly what she wanted by showing these pictures. With Marsha's information network, it was easy for them to get the connection between them and Oliver.

Once Oliver was judged by the public as someone evil without having the ability to explain anymore, they would be dragged as well. In other words, not only would their political career end, but their entire life would be filled with condemnation.

Marsha only needed to send those things in Public, removing half Union Members in an instant.

The man closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and took a deep breath, calming his heart down. He asked with a frown. "What do you want us to do? No. I want to know why you do all this?"

Marsha shrugged and raised both hands. "I think you already know the answer."

"Kai Carter." The man slammed the table and looked away.

"That's right."

"Why? What does he have to convince you to do this? Even if he is a God of War, I am not convinced that a person like him can convince you. Politics is enough to end his entire career."

Marsha waved her hand as if asking him to stop talking. She shook her head helplessly and stated with a serious expression. "You're underestimating me. God of War is all it takes for me to agree.

"Let us take another look at the battle between politics and Martial Might, shall we? First of all, politics are just a matter of public opinion. We can simply turn everything into chaos in one single order. There's no way that someone can lead to a coup d'etat in this present day because it's impossible for someone to rally tens of thousands of soldiers at once.

"However, God of War is different. Let me ask you something… What organization do you think unites the entire world and brings world peace?" She smiled.

No one answered.

After waiting for a few seconds, she continued. "Nothing. Peace is just preparation for the next war. This is what I always believe. After all, when peace comes, all nations will start developing their technology to prepare for the next war that may start from other countries.

"In the past, we had The UN, and even then, they were still not enough to unite the entire world. And in the present day, we only have three Bases. There's nothing that oversees us.

"That's where this one is coming from. The only one that can unite us together is a common enemy. It's ironic, but history has taught us. During World War I, the "Allies" appeared because they had a common enemy. The same applies to World War II. Do you think the Soviet Union and the United States would become an ally if Nazi Germany didn't threaten them?"

The man gritted his teeth and shouted back. "Why are you saying something like this? Do you think Kai Carter alone can do something like that?"

"Yes. I believe it with every single cell of my body." Marsha widened her eyes and showed a kind of stare that invited no rebuttal. Just like Killing Intent, her gaze sent chills down one's spine. That gaze felt like it was able to see through the future of one statement.

All of them shuddered as they couldn't believe Kai Carter was worth three bases. Even if he was stronger than S Rank Magician, they could simply start suppressing him by using the media before sending tens of thousands of soldiers at him. Along with S Rank Magicians, they should be able to win.

Yet, Marsha completely believed that it wasn't enough to defeat Kai Carter.

"I believe that Kai Carter is enough to shake the entire world. Once he becomes an enemy and joins hands with those people from the sea, I'm afraid Humanity will perish." Marsha took a deep breath. "I will say it again. I believe it with every single cell of my body."
