Chapter 496 - Sealing The Deal
After getting the replies, Kai met Marsha again.
"I hope that you feel refreshed after taking a bath." Marsha smiled.
"Indeed. The fatigue has gone." Kai nodded in agreement while saying, "Anyway, the president has agreed to collaborations in the future. However, we would like to know your intention first."
"Of course. I can send you the contract later and as long as there\'s a discussion among us, I believe it can be done."
"Good. You\'re negotiating it with him. As for the rest, I can agree with a few conditions."
"A few conditions… May I know about the conditions?"
"First, I don\'t want to be tailed, so I hope you don\'t send any spy to French. Also, what I do needs to be covered up."
"I will manipulate the media for a while. If possible, I would like to know the exact date of the attack, so we can have more preparation."
"Certainly. I will contact you through Arnaud later. Killing a prime minister is indeed a great sin in front of the law, but I think it\'s fine as long as someone else kills him, right?" Kai smiled.
"Don\'t tell me…"
Kai smiled. "Yes. I want to let whoever behind him kill the prime minister. That\'s why I need you to pressure him to the brink. If this can\'t succeed, then I will kill him with my own hand."
"I understand." Marsha thought for a moment and asked, "I\'m wondering why do you feel everything is so easy for you? You never suspect me?"
"There\'s nothing in this room that can escape my ears. I can sense many cameras and recorders in this mansion, but none of them is in this room."
"…" Marsha fell silent, realizing Kai\'s ears were more amazing than she thought. With those ears, Kai wouldn\'t be at a disadvantage, considering the ears could also assist him in telling whether one was lying or not. "Those ears… I really want to possess them."
"Trust me, you don\'t like having these ears." Kai smiled as he recalled how many times he almost died or wanted to commit suicide because of the unbearable ears. "Anyway, let\'s focus on the topic. What is your plan to destroy the prime minister?"
Marsha thought for a moment and raised three fingers. "There are three steps that will succeed within ten days. First, I will spread the scandals one by one every day, causing a chain reaction from the citizens to lower the prime minister\'s position.
"After that, I will begin launching my attacks on other Union Members to stop them from interfering in this fight while letting him know that no one would help him. In that case, he would have no choice other than to ask for help from the one who supported him.
"At that moment, you will strike him down along with the other hybrids. I hope you can convince them to get the cure in the US Base because I can safely assume that those people have lost their trust in the Union. And I hope that all of them are under custody because I don\'t want to deal with the future threat.
"Last but not least, the cover-up. Unless you\'re doing something too big, I can cover up almost everything. Unfortunately for you, the Union will take the credit for all this, including the corpse of the prime minister and the one behind him."
"I can agree to the plans, but I need an assurance that your soldiers won\'t enter the battlefield. I also want you to make sure whether there\'s another spy in the Union or not."
"I understand. I will do a thorough investigation after this."
"Hmm… I don\'t know why, but I feel like you\'ve got all the benefits this whole time." Kai tilted his head in confusion. "Should I say as expected from you? No wonder you\'re called a prodigy."
"We\'re the same. However, both of us are working in a separate line of work, so I am glad that I don\'t need to fight against you. I\'m scared that nothing I\'ve prepared will work against you and your ears." Marsha shrugged.
Kai chuckled, rose from his seat, and extended his hand.
To show that the two had sealed the deal, Marsha shook Kai\'s hand with a smile. "I\'m looking forward to our cooperation."
"Likewise."
After a long discussion, Kai and Marsha had finally agreed with some terms. As one would expect from a genius in politics, she simply didn\'t budge unless she got a huge benefit from it.
But Kai was even more surprised when he noticed Brent knew Marsha. It seemed Marsha\'s influence was famous among the higher-ups.
Kai also agreed to take a rest in their place for three days.
During his visit, he couldn\'t go somewhere else because there might be a spy from the French Prime Minister, so he was a bit bored inside the mansion. Hence, Kai mostly trained inside his room if there was no discussion going on.
Marsha was curious but unable to find anything from Kai. Just like the others, she wanted to know the secret to increase the two girls\' power, yet, she didn\'t pursue any further when Kai didn\'t give her a single chance.
After all, she also knew about the organization that tried to get the method. The organization itself wasn\'t that big and good, but when they realized Kai could actually kill so many people easily, they knew unless they had the entire army, no soldiers were enough to stop him.
In the end, Marsha asked him for a good relationship like Brent and Kai decided to think about it, knowing Marsha\'s strength in politics.
Three days later.
Marsha took him back to the shore, where he appeared a few days ago. The waves were still raging on, making it a bit scarier to cross.
Yet, Kai\'s expression didn\'t change as he already knew what it felt like to cross the ocean by himself. Even Marsha still couldn\'t believe that a human managed to cross this terrifying sea where you found so many creatures inside.
Even the most amazing submarine wasn\'t enough to cross the ocean because other sea creatures would attack them as soon as they sensed them.
And Kai, who not only needed to deal with them, but his stamina also decreased to swim.
"Are you sure you can do this?" Marsha asked with a weird expression.
"It\'s fine." Kai waved his hand with a calm expression. "I have experienced it once."
"…" Marsha facepalmed and let out a long sigh. "You\'re simply too weird. There\'s no way that someone can be alright after swimming across the ocean… Well, it\'s almost impossible to swim for three days. If there\'s no island between the two lands, I would have thought it\'s impossible, but I guess you\'re the miracle itself."
"I\'m just a normal human." Kai shrugged. "No matter how many times I cross the ocean, the fatality rate remains the same."
"Indeed." Marsha then slightly bowed her head to show her respect for Kai doing such a ridiculous thing, especially due to her request. "I sincerely hope that you can survive."
Kai waved his hand and walked to the edge of the water with a serious expression. Having prepared everything, he gradually submerged into the water with a calm expression while waving his hand to tell Marsha that everything was going to be alright.
After he had enough distance, he started swimming in the water.
Marsha kept watching the ocean for an hour after Kai disappeared. In the end, she shook her head helplessly, knowing that Kai was far more amazing than her.
"He\'s indeed amazing." Marsha turned around and returned to her car.
Meanwhile, Kai continued swimming for a few hours before he reached the previous location, where he asked the eagle to wait.
Because it was hard to pinpoint a single coordinate on the sea without a map and GPS, Kai didn\'t find the eagle immediately. He needed to use his Sound Blast to go around the sky to check the eagle\'s position.
They had promised that if they couldn\'t find each other, they would return to the island because Kai would go there to avoid exhausting himself in the sea.
Luckily, the eagle and Kai found each other when they both flew in the opposite direction.
Seeing the eagle, Kai felt relieved since he would have a ride to go back to Lithuania.
Kai waved his hand to the eagle while the latter let out a cry to show that he saw him. He hugged the eagle first before hopping on top of the eagle as they began their return journey.
