The Magician of Sound

Chapter 510 - Settling The Matter

"…" Kai pinched the bridge of his nose as he didn't hear any sign of movement inside Kerza's body. In fact, his body had been flattened to the ground by Arba.

That powerful opponent had been reduced to that state without them being able to do anything, this certainly shocked everyone.

Although Kerza had been injured, his strength was still too powerful for them. Yet, the same person was rendered useless by Arba.

"That's enough, Arba." Kai stopped her with a serious expression.

"Oh?" Arba stopped and rose from the ground, checking if Kerza was still alive or not.

Aston then turned to the others while introducing himself. "It's an honor to meet you. My name is Aston. I hope none of you tells anyone about our appearance here."

Kai pointed his finger at him. "Yeah. As he said, I hope you won't mention anything, even if it's only a slip-up. A war is going to happen soon and if the enemy knows about them, we won't have enough time to prepare."

"A war? With them? Can we win? He is only the fifth strongest person, right?" Arnaud frowned as this gave him a headache more painful than his current wounds.

"Yeah. That's why I hope you don't drink too, so as to avoid an unnecessary slip-up."

"That can be done." Arnaud agreed without hesitation. "Besides… These wounds…"

"Right…" Kai nodded with a smile. "This condition will surely hospitalize you for a month at the very least. And you can't drink for your full recovery for three to six months. I am planning to call Evan, but I guess he's not going to arrive that soon because he is on a mission."

"I see. So, that's what your plan…" Aston understood Kai's plan after observing his wounds and all the clues he had left behind.

"Anyway, I think you two should go back." Kai turned to Aston and Arba. "For this, I am really grateful for your help."

"No problem, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty…" Roselyn muttered with a confused face, looking at Kai. Since when Kai was royalty? she thought.

"Don't mind about it." Kai waved his hand before shrugging.

"Before that, I need to warn you a bit, Your Majesty. You may be able to settle a bit of their doubt with these wounds, making them believe that you and these four people kill this monster, but it won't be for long."

"I know." Kai squinted his eyes. "I should be able to buy at least six months with this plan. I am also constantly improving myself, so I need to be ready as soon as possible."

"I understand. Since Your Majesty has a plan, I shall return with Arba."

"Wait a minute. I want to add something." Arba stopped Aston and continued, "This guy is the fifth, right? There are four more above him together with their own king. I'm afraid the scale is bigger than you think… I think I can fight their number one, which is probably their princess, but I can't handle the others. Aston is not someone who is good in battle…"

"Well, I can do some things, but my overall strength has probably ranked either 9th or 10th. The two kids are stronger than me in this regard…" Aston agreed with Arba's assessment.

"Then, should we teach more people?"

"I don't think it will be enough."

"I am planning to give this power to my Teacher because she is a very talented person. Even in this situation, I don't think I can win all my battles against her." Kai shrugged.

"Since it's Your Majesty's teacher, it's probably going to be fine." Aston nodded. "As much as we want to follow the tradition, I am afraid we are too short-handed to do this. We should bend the rules a bit."

"Yes, thanks." Kai then turned to the girls and old men. "If you join up together, I think you can kill one or two. I am planning to teach this power to all the girls, so they should be able to kill the third and fourth ranks… All the remaining S Rank Magicians are to help my people to defeat the remaining powerful fighters. That's the gist of the plan."

"That's good enough."

"I will send Leah and Devain to help you teaching them this power."

"That will be great."

"In that case, we will excuse ourselves." Aston and Arba nodded at each other before bowing their heads to Kai and vanishing into thin air.

"…" Kai fell silent for a moment and looked at the four. "Well, you see, I have another influence that backs me up outside the three bases. Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything about them. You only need to know they will help us in the time needed…"

"Don't worry about me. I won't interfere with your decision unless it involves your life." Sofia was the first to answer since she believed Kai never did something meaningless.

"Thank you, Sofia."

"You have granted me this power and done everything to the kids. I can't thank you enough. This is a small sacrifice to make compared to the favor I have received from you." Roselyn smiled, assuring Kai there wouldn't be any slip-ups from her.

"Thank you, Roselyn."

"Well, this is a serious request from my grandson-in-law, so I will do it. It's not like I drink or anything unless it's necessary. With this current condition, I believe I can take a year's leave from any work." Jules laughed. "I only need to see my granddaughter in her wedding dress and my great grandchildren. I will be satisfied."

"Haha, I will do it as soon as possible. I will fulfill the promise I have said to you regarding marriage and such."

"In that case, I don't need to worry anymore."

Seeing all of them had agreed, Arnaud raised his hands as if he had given up. "This kind of battle… I need to prepare myself for this shit. To think I was unaware of all this for a long time. If only I had known about it a few years earlier, I could have prepared many things.... I am ashamed."

"Please don't beat yourself too much. It's them being too secretive."

"I will also work together with Marsha to help you deal with the Union. But there is one big question…" Arnaud took a deep breath and continued with a serious expression. "What are you planning with United Asia? Are you going to solve this problem before the war?"

"Of course. Using my condition as an excuse, I will bring Evan and the rest of my team to this place before going to United Asia for the remaining days I have to spend here. I am sure Marsha won't say anything regarding this matter after seeing the condition of this neighborhood.

"Anyway, if the Katsuragi Family won't be a threat anymore, we can get the government to reinforce their rule and gather some force for reinforcement in the future."

"That's a pretty good plan." Arnaud agreed. "Things are going to get busy soon. But…"

Arnaud took out his device to call the ambulance. "Let's go to the hospital first. It's not good to have this wound for long…"

"Indeed." Kai smiled and watched him calling the ambulance. He then went to Sofia to check her condition and stayed with her, which made Jules smile, waiting for them to be picked up.
