Erik and the Chimaeric Demon in charge of the operation left the building. A cool-looking flying car hovered nearby, waiting to pick Erik and the Chimaeric Demon. The others were already there.
An operation like this required lots of ti and preparation, and since there were guards, workers, and people with Veritas Lenses, they needed to take care of that first.
Besides, they had to get a hold over the control tower because it was there that news about arriving planes got first.
If there was a change of schedule, a change of plans on the enemy side, it would get there first.
"Your transport is ready, Master," the Chimaeric Demon said, gesturing towards the flying car.
Erik nodded. A door slid open, revealing a luxurious interior. How the Chimaeric Demons got the car was a mystery. It was probably stolen, but at this point Erik didn't care. He climbed in, settling into the plush seat as the Chimaeric Demon took the pilot's position.
"Set course for the airport."
The flying car started up with a soft hum. Its special engines lifted it into the air. As they flew higher, the buildings below looked smaller and smaller.
Erik thought.
Erik often wondered if he was going too far. After all, going to the extre of replacing governnts' leaders was not sothing anyone could or would do. It was morally bad, and for years, Erik only had his morality.
When he didn't have money, when he didn't have friends, when he couldn't ask for help to escape the Crystal Cross Gang, Erik used morality as his compass to behave. Sure, he did his fair share of bad things, but it wasn't like the people he killed didn't deserve it.
His morality led him to help Liberty Watch, who went from a starving village in the forest to a flourishing tropolis in a gigantic mountain. That allowed him to have a foothold in the world, a place he could really consider his ho, where he had friends.
That foothold allowed him to get his people to safety when he got kicked out of Etrium, which allowed him to rescue his father, even if the result had been his death, regardless.
Yet Erik felt bad.
Erik tried to calm his racing thoughts and focus on the task ahead. He knew he couldn't let his doubts and worries distract him now.
The current mission was too important since a lot depended on it. He took a deep breath and pushed his mixed feelings aside.
He couldn't let his personal struggles get in the way of their plan. There was too much at stake to lose focus now.
