BXBX NOVEL Chapter 403 - News
Unfortunately, another place didn\'t share the same sentiment.
"Father. We have gotten the information from the bureau." Bryan came to meet Nathan, who was currently lazing around in his chair, facing the garden.
Nathan raised his sunglasses and narrowed his eyes when he saw the document in Bryan\'s hand.
"What kind of information?" Nathan tilted his head before feeling something bad would happen soon.
"You should read it yourself." Bryan handed the document.
"…" Nathan grabbed the document and read it for a few minutes before turning back to Bryan with a shocked expression. "When was this confirmed?"
"Because of the conflict there and all the process it took, it was around a week ago."
Nathan facepalmed as his forehead began to sweat. He let out a long sigh while saying, "This is going to be so complicated."
"What are we going to do, Father? This is already an international law, you know."
He thought for a moment and rose before calling Ria Ross.
"What? It\'s rare for you to call me." Ria\'s voice echoed.
"I am going with a bang. What do you think?"
"What the heck are you talking about, Old Man? Have you gone bald?"
"Nope. I will send you the information I received earlier, and I am going to meet Kai right now. Send me your reply later."
Nathan nonchalantly hung up the call and looked at Bryan. "Prepare our chopper. I want to reach there within three hours."
"Alright." Bryan nodded and quickly left him alone in the garden.
Nathan just sat there and let out a long sigh, staring at the blue sky to calm his mind. "I am wondering if there will be a bloodbath or not. Well, I need to call the EU Embassy. Never mind, I will just let Ria do it."
Nathan shook his head and walked to the family chopper, flying straight to the school.
Meanwhile, Ria finally understood what he meant by going with a bang.
She sat on her usual chair with her hand supporting his head, reading the information. She called the president and asked, "Do you know about the information I have received just now from Nathan?"
"Yes. I was the one ordering it. I thought he was going to handle it first, but it seemed the news reached your ears first."
"We are planning to go with a bang."
"What kind of bang is this? You should know that this is involving international law, right?"
"It\'s not that big. I am just going to announce that Kai will be having a vacation in United Asia. Of course, I will send them to China or Korea for a mission to make it look like a mission while on his vacation.
"With the news broadcasted worldwide, it\'s a kind of protection from ourselves, threatening them to not touch them. However, I still believe that the Katsuragi Family will approach them. With the missing Yajima Family, my student will certainly raise his hand."
President Brent facepalmed and sighed. "And this is going to create a tension between two bases. That\'s why their government will absolutely make a move to protect Kai\'s safety, and most likely, the South Family will join the battle, turning the country into chaos.
"For us, it\'s good since they are going to decline a bit, but we need to take humanity as a whole into account. We can\'t afford to lose too much or it will affect us too."
"Don\'t worry. I will use the mission to lure the rabbit out of their hole and eliminate them without anyone knowing. Unless they are publicizing the fact that Kai kills them, which also shows that they are targeting Kai, the truth won\'t come to light." Ria smirked, feeling pretty pumped up with this.
"I see. So your plan consists of two, the vacation and mission. The vacation is like protection to Kai Carter, allowing him to move around the base without any worry. And the mission takes all the attention where those power hungry people aim him. That\'s where we end them?"
"Exactly. That\'s why this is a good idea. I am only wondering what mission should I have and I do need to contact the embassy for Sofia, you see."
"I will deal with the embassy and political thingy. You should find a mission suit for him. And do you want me to send the team that has been protecting him?"
"Probably no. My student is basically a human radar, so no one will get past him. It\'s enough for your protection squad to eliminate all the assassins coming to this base. As for the rest, I will leave it up to him."
"Alright. In that case, I will make sure that the EU Base doesn\'t get into this picture since it will ruin everything." Brent nodded with a serious expression.
"Brent, thank you."
"What are you saying? I was one of the people you saved during the fight against that toad. You might think that you sacrificed half of the people there, but for me, you saved half the squad along with the entire army. Your group will certainly say that."
"Ahaha…" Ria laughed awkwardly before hanging up the call. "Alright. I will leave that side to you. Nathan will do the talking."
"Okay, bye."
Ria quickly searched for a mission, wondering whether there was a place she could use to trap all of them.
…
A few hours later, Nathan arrived at the school, storming inside Lion Group\'s base without wasting any time.
Bang.
"You brat! I have a situation for you." Nathan stared at him with a serious expression. "This is grave news."
"What is it?" Kai tilted his head in confusion because it wasn\'t usual to see this old man act seriously. Even when he explained the Raid Mission, he would just nonchalantly explain everything.
"Your little sweetheart\'s family, Yajima Family, has gone missing."
"Oh? You are talking about that." Kai nodded calmly as if he had known everything.
"What? Why are you not surprised?"
"I already know the situation from her, albeit she doesn\'t tell me where she\'s at right now."
"You have been in contact?" Nathan twitched his eyebrows, wanting to burst out his anger. He just worried for nothing.
"Yes. It\'s been more than a year already. The Katsuragi Family is about to destroy them, so they are taking refuge somewhere."
"Ugh." Nathan facepalmed and took a seat before slamming the table. "I want to beat you up."
"…"
"Anyway, what do you think about a trip to United Asia? I mean, this situation has become too big to just stop it."
"What do you mean?"
"Because of this news, I planned to send you to United Asia for a "Vacation" that allows you to search your little sweetheart while chipping down Katsuragi Family\'s power."
"I see. A mission under the guise of a vacation." Kai narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah. What do you think?"
"You should focus on whether she can follow me or not, you know." Kai glanced at Sofia.
"Well, I am still an exchange student, so yeah, you need a—" Suddenly, her device rang. When she grabbed it and opened the email from her grandfather, she corrected her answer. "You know what, I will be following you."
The others were obviously confused by the sudden change. Sofia thought for a moment and showed the email to them.
\'My beloved granddaughter. This is a piece of advice from your grandfather. Don\'t reject your honeymoon."
"…" Kai twitched his eyebrows and sighed. "Why do I feel that your grandfather is really a special person?"
"He is." Sofia shrugged.
"I feel like I can get along with this guy pretty well. Maybe letting you inside the family is not that bad at all." Nathan narrowed his eyes and looked at this message while commenting. "He should say make a baby or two while you are at it, but I guess he doesn\'t have time at the moment."
This time, the message from Ria Ross came. Nathan picked it up before staring at Kai. "It seems that you are going to Dalian."
"Hmm?" Kai opened the map and searched for Dalian. "This…"
"Yeah. United Asia has been expanding their border up to Dandong, northeast Dalian. With you getting rid of the beasts in Dalian, they will surely take this to create a temporary base. With the position, they can travel a bit safer to Yantai in Shandong prefecture."
"If I am screwing up the Katsuragi Family…It\'s certainly going to be big news. We need something to make people believe that I am there for the better."
"Exactly. Unless the Katsuragi Family wants to admit that they attack you, you are free to eliminate any kind of threats. From my perspective, I can give you a month of vacation, two weeks for investigation and two weeks for this mission. What do you think?"
"This is good enough for me." Kai nodded in agreement. "When do we leave?"
"It\'s up to you." He shrugged.
"I mean, when do we leave for the announcement?"
"Oh! We need at least two days to arrange the entire event, so probably in three days?"
Kai had predicted that they were going to announce it. With them contacting the EU Embassy, they could prepare an answer beforehand, telling that everything was in agreement. This would protect both bases\' interests.
United Asia had no choice to step up and started suppressing the Katsuragi Family even by a bit. This would force the Katsuragi Family to send more people to him where he could kill them, resulting in significant damage to the Katsuragi Family.
"This is getting interesting." He looked around and asked. "What do you think about seven days from now?"
"Can I bri—" Evan raised his hand, but Kai already answered him. "You can."
"I don\'t have a problem then. She must be overjoyed with this." Evan smiled.
"That\'s good. I will send the document later. If you need anything, come to the Graham Family, I will stay there for a week."
"Thank you."
