The Magician of Sound

Chapter 525 - Result

As one would expect, the uproar in the Katsuragi Family couldn't be contained as no one held the reins anymore.

The information quickly spread to the entire base.

An old man sat on his chair, looking at the information sent by his subordinate. He didn't move for a whole fifteen minutes because it was too ridiculous to be true.

However, another person slammed the door and rushed to the room.

Bang.

"Emergency. This needs to be the top priority." A young secretary handed another document while panting.

"What is this?"

"We have just gotten the information about the one who wreaked havoc on the Katsuragi Family."

"And who is he?" The old man asked while putting down the earlier information while focusing on this news.

"It's Kai Carter."

"Huh?" The old man frowned. "Isn't he supposed to be in the EU Base, waiting for his treat…"

The old man didn't continue as he understood why Kai Carter was mentioned. He quickly looked at the report and saw one big paragraph in the middle of the report.

"I will meet you at 5 PM. You can bring three people with you, but no one else could listen to this conversation. If there is another person, I will cancel this discussion and proceed accordingly. All I want is to return the peace to this base."

"…" The old man pinched the bridge of his nose, knowing that it was impossible to go against Kai Carter right now. His power was just too big. And if he added his influence that could literally move all S Rank Magicians in the EU Base and the US Base, it was too much even if all the families in this base united.

He thought for a moment and said, "Call the Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and General Tatsuhiko."

"I understand."

The young secretary quickly took off to follow his order, knowing it was the top priority.

…

Meanwhile, the South Family also understood the significance of this incident.

They had even assembled all the high-ranking members of the family to discuss their next plan in destroying the Katsuragi Family.

The one leading this meeting was a middle-aged man with blue hair. He had a big bag under his eyes as if he lacked sleep.

However, it didn't diminish the stern look on his face.

He glanced at an old man that sat next to him. "What do you think about this news, Father?"

"Instead of the news, I'm more interested in someone who can create this kind of news." The old man smirked. "If this person can annihilate the Katsuragi Family, doesn't this mean this person can annihilate us too? And even if this is a big group, my point still stands."

It was a realistic point of view and every member understood it. That was why they had a heavy face this whole time.

"We need to know what this person wants before making any move." The middle-aged man nodded in agreement and stated before he saw someone opening the door.

"Master, this is urgent news. We have just gotten the information from Ikeda Kenzo."

"Huh?"

"What's the enemy want from us?"

"He is still alive?"

The statement was followed by numerous questions before the middle-aged man slammed the table to silence them before saying, "What is it? Tell me."

"According to him, Kai Carter wants to meet with you and the South Family to cease any action before this discussion. He wants to meet you at 7 PM tonight."

"What?"

"Kai Carter?"

"Are you sure about this?"

"I see." The old man closed his eyes, pondering. Kai Carter was the biggest enigma in this entire process and if he were the one behind this incident, the situation might have an unexpected turn.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and glanced at the old man, understanding the situation. Kai Carter might not move alone and there was also this new ranking that glorified Kai Carter even more.

Without a proper judgment on his ability, they had no idea Kai's current strength.

Hence, the middle-aged man stated, "I have decided. All personnel are to remain standing by. Anyone who moves will be decided by the highest family law. If it's someone else, we may be able to make a small move, but Kai Carter is different.

"If we are too careless, there may be a war between this family and two bases. At the same time, he alone may have enough power to eliminate us like how he has done it to the Katsuragi Family. Understood?"

After listening to that simple explanation, all of them thought it was understandable.

There was even a video of him cutting multiple houses in a single strike. If it were his strongest strike, it would be hard for him to do it multiple times. But the end result of that fight was catastrophic. Hence, his strength was a real deal.

"What are you planning to do, Father? I hope you're not thinking about challenging him, right?"

"Of course not." The old man shrugged. "I am interested in that, but if he doesn't want to, then I won't pursue that matter. I will simply ask. I won't provoke him or anything."

The middle-aged man nodded and continued. "That's all. We will gather again here one hour before the meeting. Also, inform all people in this place that if they spot him, they will report to us and lead him to the guest area. Make sure no one offends him until the meeting ends. Understood?"

All of them exchanged looks and nodded.

Of course, this kind of effect didn't influence only the government and the South Family. It was literally all the families under the Katsuragi Family.

Because of Kai's deed in releasing all the hostages, everyone could somehow understand the situation of the Katsuragi Family.

They wished to revolt against them, but then Ikeda Kenzo started spreading the news about the mysterious person that annihilated them.

He simply stated that he had changed sides because it was necessary to stop Katsuragi Akagi. At the same time, the one who wanted that change was simply too powerful as they managed to eliminate all important people in a single night without anyone knowing.

Understanding the graveness of this matter, they decided to swallow their anger for a moment. Obviously, it was a hard thing to do, considering the Katsuragi Family had been mistreating their family members or even killing them. Even so, Ikeda Kenzo wanted them to remain in their home just for tonight because something big would happen tomorrow and they would realize this statement.

Of course, everything was left to their discretion. Unfortunately, it was hard to gather all their forces and they decided to pull all the soldiers they had lent to the Katsuragi Family to their respective families, weakening the Katsuragi Family even more.

During that time, all families in Hokkaido couldn't contain their excitement anymore and started proceeding with a different plan than those in the mainland. It was so easy to know how hard they had been oppressed by the Katsuragi Family.

After all, unlike those families, Hokkaido had been under one ruler this whole time.

They wanted to take over the Katsuragi Family's influence and expand. But with all families there sharing the sentiment, Hokkaido soon fell into turmoil.

Kai also wished to stop this kind of conflict. Even if he couldn't, he wanted to minimize the damage. Hence, it became the reason why he needed to meet the prime minister as well as the South Family.

And currently, Kai was sitting in the room together with Michelle and Sofia, facing two men and women.

"I am the Prime Minister. I heard you want to talk to me."
