The Magician of Sound

Chapter 524 - Ending The Matter

"You… You… Who are you?!" Katsuragi Akagi fell on his butt as he stared at Kai with fear. This was the first time he saw someone this strong. And it turned out to be Kai's acquaintance.

He heard everything they talked about and understood that Kai would also have this kind of power in the future. Hearing it alone already sent a shiver down his spine. He regretted the fact he didn't chase him in the past to make sure he didn't survive.

On the contrary, Kai walked to Akagi with an aloof expression. His tone was cold and filled with killing intent. "Your King."

There wasn't a single lie in his mouth, but Kai just brutally murdered Akagi with words alone.

Katsuragi Akagi tried to swallow his fear and stood up. "I am Katsuragi Family's Family Head, Katsuragi Akagi. I am still an A Rank Magician."

He formed a water ball on his hand. "I can still—"

Before he finished, both his hands were already severed by Kai without a change in his expression. He snorted, "Old man. When was the last time you fought someone? Your twenties? It's already more than three decades since you last used your power and this is what you get. You act like an amateur.

"I believe you were not a good magician either in the past. I guess it's easy to climb rank with a good family." Kai sneered, looking down on him.

"Argh!" Akagi fell on his knees, wailing in pain. "You… You… No, don't—"

Before he spoke further, Kai sent his head flying. "Don't. Don't beg for your life. You appeared strong this whole time and acted as if you had conquered United Asia… Have some dignity, will you?"

Kai closed his eyes, ignoring the headless corpse that fell to the ground. He retracted the Sound Insulation Barrier with a snap of his fingers.

"Ayaka, take care of him." Kai pointed at the corpse, asking her to burn everything. After that, he turned to the others and apologized. "Sorry, I can't let you hear the conversation."

"It's fine. From your expression alone, we know it's something so serious. Instead of getting angry at this useless thing, it's better to trust you." Michelle shook her head.

"I know that it will be revealed sooner or later." Ayaka agreed with her.

"Yeah. It's probably the one thing he fears this whole time." Tasha nodded.

"Indeed. We will know everything before the marriage, so we should trust you. However, if it's too much, don't hesitate to rely on us, okay? We may not be able to help much in terms of fighting, but we can think of a solution together." Sofia winked her eyes.

Michelle, Ayaka, and Tasha dropped their jaws and stared at Sofia with dumbfounded expressions.

"What?" Sofia tilted her head in confusion.

"Sofia has grown up." Michelle nodded as if she was her mother.

"What the hell?" Sofia's eyebrows twitched. She glared at Michelle, only to hear Tasha saying, "That's right. She is usually seducing him. I guess giving her some security allows her to mature."

"It's the right choice then." Ayaka glanced at Sofia. "Either way, it's not like another one will be hurt."

"You three…" Kai shook his head and tried to close Felice's ears. "There's a kid here."

"Big Brother, I am not a kid anymore." Felice pouted.

They laughed for a while before Michelle asked, "So, what will we do after this?"

"Clean up the Katsuragi Family and destroy one of their bases to push them back. The chaos should be enough to stop their invasion and create civil war. They won't be as big as the current state and Hokkaido will be split into a few as new fractions will emerge right and left." Kai explained.

"That's good then." Michelle glanced at Ayaka. "Is that alright with you, Ayaka?"

"Knowing that my grandfather is still alive, the only grudge I have is that escape. Hence, this is enough for revenge." Ayaka shook her head. "Besides, I would rather focus on my current life in the US Base with my family and Kai instead of lamenting over this useless grudge. It's not like they can do anything to us anymore."

Kai smiled and added. "Also, I will let you solve one more thing."

"What do you mean?" Ayaka tilted her head in confusion.

…

A few minutes later.

Ayaka arrived in front of a giant wooden gate. She took a deep breath and opened the doors, finding a huge room with several women lying on the ground without any clothes. All of them had wounds in their bodies as she could barely see any vital signs from them. Most of them seemed to have died while the rest were dying and might die the next day.

The nasty scent filled her nose and made her want to puke. Blood was better than this scent, Ayaka thought.

On the bed, she saw a young man sleeping on the bed.

She recalled the memory she had buried in her heart and looked at the young man with an inflated belly. His overall weight also increased and his nose was pinched by two plump cheeks.

Even though he had grown two times fatter, Ayaka still recognized this person. He was Katsuragi Takaki.

"…" Ayaka walked to the bed with a spear in her hand.

A moan echoed from Takaki as he slightly opened his eyes.

Looking at Ayaka, he couldn't help but raise his hand, trying to reach her while muttering, "Is this a dream? Why would you come and haunt me again? Why do you leave me for someone else? I truly love you this whole time."

"Say that again without any women in this room." Ayaka calmly replied as she raised her spear.

"A spear? That's right. You are using a spear as your weapon. Are you going to commit double suicide with me and have a good life together in the next life?"

Ayaka's expression was distorted. No wonder she never liked him. He was not only arrogant, but he was also delusional and couldn't mature like her even after two years.

Ayaka released her killing intent and prepared to thrust his neck.

"No. I am happy with my life. It's you who need to die, delusional motherf*cker." Ayaka stabbed his throat and heart to make sure she killed him.

Of course, she stayed for a minute to ensure it, not wanting to have a future threat.

After killing him, Ayaka walked outside and found Kai and the others.

Ayaka sighed. "I am glad that I can properly end things. He was the start of this misery… He was the one who destroyed my family. His obsession turned my life upside down." Ayaka walked to Kai and gently hugged him. "Thank you… Thank you for being with me. Thank you for not giving me up."

Kai hugged her and stroked her hair.

It took Ayaka several minutes to calm her heart down. And the group continued their operation. They killed all the people on Kai's list.

It was such a huge nightmare in the Katsuragi Family Mansion to find the elders and the successor had died. Even their family head was missing and seemed to have died, judging from the scale of this event.

After that, they also found that one of the front bases that would take over another territory was destroyed in a single night without leaving any survivors.

Of course, with how big the impact of this incident, even the Katsuragi Family in their peak wouldn't be able to close down the information, let alone in this chaotic situation.

The news reached United Asia's Prime Minister and the head of the South Family.
