The promise got delivered almost imdiately.
Sofia was watching the news together with Roselyn. They decided to do it because it was blown up to the point everyone started talking about it.
"We have important news about France's Pri Minister. According to our information, France's Pri Minister is creating illegal and inhumane experints. We can see there are humans with arms from different species. In one picture, we can see a human having a tiger's paw, while on the other, we can find a human with two bull legs.
"The cause is still unknown, but according to the experts, there are two possibilities. First, the Pri Minister amputated their limbs before transplanting a new one. Second, their body may have been mutated by transplanting magical beasts' genes inside a human's body."
The news showed the picture Marsha showed Kai a few days ago. The citizens erupted in anger when they saw that their own kin couldn't be described as humans anymore.
Demonstrations began to occur from one place to another, creating chaos among the union as well.
"This…" Sofia glanced at Roselyn, speechless.
Roselyn nodded with a troubled expression. "Yeah. I wonder what Kai is thinking by creating this chaos? I an, I can see that this can drag the Pri Minister down, but I feel like he will be scrutinized as well if the truth about him being a Zodiac is revealed to the public.
"If I were the Pri Minister, I would have revealed it and pushed Kai to perform the genetic test. That way, everything would be revealed and as a result, the US Base would also take another great blow."
"Agreed. And don't tell … That ruler from Sweden actually agreed to Kai's request because she could take down both the Pri Minister and the US Base at the sa ti?" Sofia narrowed her eyes.
"I am not sure. Kai should also expect sothing like this if I can think about such a plan." Roselyn narrowed her eyes in confusion.
"Oi, oi. Don't look down on yourself too much." Sofia sighed before her expression turned serious. "But yeah, I can agree with you. Kai may face a certain backlash as well in doing this unless he has another trump card to get away from it."
"Even so, are you sure you can handle it?" Roselyn asked with a worried expression.
Sofia smiled without hesitation. "Of course. That guy has been challenging sothing far bigger than the three bases combined… If I am afraid of getting shunned by those citizens, I won't get too close to him. It's ironic… Isn't it?"
"What's ironic?"
"The fact that the citizens are not aware of the hidden enemies that want to eliminate humanity. And how Kai has been fighting against them this whole ti." Sofia closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. "His power also cos from the magical beast."
"Agreed. They're talking about morals, but when death cos to their doorstep, they will ask for such power. Humanity is a hypocrite… I do too." Roselyn smiled. "But at least, I won't go telling other people about how they hate those who have abandoned their humanity."
"Instead of talking about that, I need to tell you a ssage Kai gave yesterday."
"Hmm?" Roselyn's eyebrows raised as she was surprised by the sudden ssage. "What is his ssage? Does he need help?"
"You're asking the last thing he needs…" Sofia shook her head helplessly and showed the ssage. "He wants us not to do anything for a few days until his signal no matter how terrible what will co next is."
"What kind of thing will happen after this?" Roselyn drew a gasp and rembered the kids from the orphanage. "I think I should go to the orphanage. Although the security has been tightened around there, I am afraid they're a perfect target to aim for."
"Kai only said to stand by, so I believed he didn't care where we stayed. In other words, we can stay inside the orphanage." Sofia looked down with a sad expression. "Unfortunately, I can't go with you because I need to go with my family. The other instruction is to have us working together before making our move. That's why if we get the signal, we will et up first."
"I understand." Roselyn smiled. "Don't worry about . Besides, I believe there's sothing bigger than what the public can see. A genius in politics joins hands with a genius in warfare. Don't you think this kind of strategy is too ordinary?"
"Ho? Interesting." Sofia agreed with her and smiled. "I think this is just a normal storm. There will be a bigger one coming right behind and it will appear in a few days. If I'm not wrong, Kai will also return from his mission in a few days…"
"Yes. All we need to do is to prepare for whatever cos next." Roselyn nodded before Sofia felt the vibration from her device.
She quickly opened it and saw Kai's ssage.
"There's a possibility that those half-human half-beast people will co after you two. The Pri Minister may utilize them to create chaos and weaken my side before taking control of everything by force and placing the bla on soone else.
"I will keep pressuring him right now, so you need to be very careful. A protector may also co for your life. Hence, I want you to be together, not only for the task but for everything. I know that your power has exceeded that of S Rank Magician, but I still feel it hard for both of you to take on a single protector alone."
"…" Sofia fell silent when she read the ssage before showing it to Roselyn, resulting in the sa silence. They both stared at each other until Sofia broke the silence. "Those people? Why?"
"I am not sure. The Pri Minister may have sothing in his repertoire that can control them. That alone is enough to control them. I don't know their numbers, but there's a possibility it surpasses my expectation, so we indeed need to face tens of failed Zodiacs.
"On top of that, the protector may co for us, making the situation even more complicated. I assu this protector is the one behind the Pri Minister."
"Yeah. We may be able to buy ti for one protector even if we can't defeat him, but if we include tens of failed Zodiacs into the calculation, I'm afraid it's too much for us to handle. I guess I will be with you in the orphanage."
Sofia agreed without hesitation. "Yes. Ask Arnaud for the school permission. I will also inform my grandfather about this, telling him to increase the security since anyone can be attacked right now. Luckily, Felice is not in France since she follows Madam Rena back."
"Yeah. That's a relief."
"Anyway, should we kill those people or convince them?" Sofia narrowed her eyes and decided to ask Kai about it.
The reply ca in an instant as Kai told them to convince them. However, if they tried to attack them, they could restrain them. Only if the situation turned worse would they have permission to kill them. He would handle the rest.
"That's it. I wonder what his real plan is…"
"Yeah."
Like they suspected, Kai had a secret plan devised by both he and Marsha. It had even gotten approval from the president of the US Base, elevating the scale of the entire plan.
And everything would be resolved within a few days.
