Three weeks later, Kai returned to Belarus after finishing his mission.
Although he didn't et any attacker group on the way, he had listened to the situation around him, finding that not many monsters were alive in the epic center where they were supposed to create a base for further invasion.
Kai didn't care and continued his way to Belarus.
Surprisingly, Rena hadn't gone back to her ho, waiting for him.
It was on the base they t, making Kai confused.
He tilted his head and asked, "You… You didn't go back?"
"Nah, I'm waiting for you first, hoping you don't mind if you bring back like how I ca here. Either way, I have sothing I want to say."
Seeing her serious face, Kai agreed and the group returned with a helicopter.
In the air, Rena finally opened her mouth, telling him what happened. "Actually, I want to thank you for bringing Evan here. Although it was not intentional, Leisa had a great ti."
Kai shook his head. "If there is nothing between them, I wouldn't even agree to it. However, my friend is a bit indecisive, you see. Only when Isabelle took charge would he begin to show his affection… That's why I agreed to your request."
"Ahaha." Rena chuckled while rembering what Leisa had gone through in the past. She smiled, "If you need any help, just call . I will do my best to help you."
"Just take care of Felice. That's enough for ." Kai shrugged. "Though what I want to do is…"
Even though Kai stopped there, Rena knew Kai wanted to destroy the group that attacked them. But Rena stopped him with a shake of the head. "I think you should see this first."
Rena showed a video call from Felice. She seed to have a ssage for him.
Kai fell silent and looked at her, waiting for her to talk.
After a long pause, Felice finally opened her mouth. "Big Brother Kai… I know that with your personality, you're going to destroy the group that attacked us, but would you please give this matter to ? I would like to destroy them with my hand… Of course, Big Sister Roselyn will help together with Sir Arnaud.
"I have also discussed the matter with the Campbell Family and they've agreed to this plan. I promise you that while I'm training to get stronger and completing the mission you gave , I will destroy them within one year.
"It may not be that hard for you to destroy them, but this is a kind of challenge for to improve myself. I know that what I'm requesting here is too reckless and selfish, but…" Felice lowered her head. "Please."
Kai narrowed his eyes while Roselyn and Sofia looked at each other. Roselyn obviously didn't have any problem helping her, but Sofia, on the other hand, was surprised that her father would give in, especially after Julia was taken away.
She thought for a mont and said, "Kai, there's no way I can go with you imdiately, so I can help her too during that ti with Roselyn while looking out for this kid. Besides, I'm not going to let her do sothing too reckless and give you a daily report. We can't trust Roselyn, right?"
Roselyn pouted and looked away. She knew that with how she acted the whole ti, it was hard for others to trust her. After all, Kai had threatened her a few tis and sohow changed her plans. That was why Sofia believed Roselyn wouldn't be able to endure Felice's begging.
He thought for a mont and asked, "Do you mind having Sofia with you?"
"No. As long as Big Brother agrees, that's fine with ." Felice shook her head without hesitation. "It's not like I'm going to lie to you anyway, whatever the result. After all, for , trust is number one. I don't believe white lies that are supposed to be a lie used to protect your loved one. It's just a show of distrust in my eyes."
Kai closed his eyes for a minute before opening his mouth. "I will allow it. However, there is one more condition."
"Please tell ."
"Before you raid their bases, even if it's only a small one, I want you to report the situation to , including your plan on how you would like to get rid of them."
"I understand." Felice agreed imdiately, but little did she know, the reason why Kai wanted that plan was to teach her a bit about warfare, his specialty. Although he didn't admit it yet, Kai was already satisfied with her performance and planned to take in the kid regardless of the result.
"Alright then. You can do it." Kai nodded. "I will leave them to you."
"Yes. I won't disappoint or worry you anymore." Felice repeatedly nodded, assuring Kai.
Kai only chuckled and said with a smile. "No need to rush. You have a long ti."
He felt happy in teaching her and wondered why Felice was cuter than normal. He then rembered when he first t his master, recalling the mory when she gradually smiled and laughed with him even if it wasn't funny.
It might be the joy of having a student, Kai thought. At the sa ti, he didn't know why he picked one year before, but when he had this thought, he realized it was sothing that his teacher had instilled in him.
That one year was the sa period of his training where he died more than ten thousand tis until his emotion went numb, not knowing what to feel anymore. Although he had recovered it, he still rembered the scariness of the training.
Knowing that Felice would take the sa step as him, he couldn't help but chuckle to see how similar they were. He just saw the small him within her.
"Be careful out there, will you?" Kai smiled and said sothing that he didn't receive back then. "Call if you need anything."
Yes, he had given his contact information to Felice, unlike Ria Ross, who disappeared so suddenly back then. His experience of getting chased and almost died made this decision to prevent Felice from experiencing the sa.
After all, her ability wasn't like him, so it would be best to be in a safe environnt first.
Since he had discussed everything, Rena hung up as Kai stared at her with a serious expression.
Kai lowered his head and asked, "Please take care of her."
Rena obviously didn't expect Kai to be lowering his head. Kai might be the strongest person in the world, so it was incomprehensible for such a person to lower his head. Yet, the sa person didn't hesitate in doing it for the sake of his future student.
This also put so pressure on Rena because she knew Kai treasured his future disciple. She took a deep breath and answered, "Yes. I will do my best to take care of her."
After that, they had a small talk and flew for a few hours before arriving in French.
He quickly ca out of the helicopter, only to find soone waiting for him. He was none other than one of the S Rank Magicians, Arnaud.
Arnaud had a serious expression and looked at him. He didn't extend his hand while saying, "I have so bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"
