472 Rescue

"Shut up!" A man yelled as he kicked Ryo in the stomach causing him to gasp for air from getting the wind knocked out of him. That was when the Van itself came to a screeching halt causing the man who had just stood up to kick Ryo to fall down, smashing his head off the seat. Holding his head, he struggled to his feet and yelled: "The fuck is going on!? Do you not know how to drive!?"

"We got trouble, the fucking street is blocked off!" The drive yelled back at the man.

"Then find another route." The man yelled while still holding his head. the ringing in his ears had finally stopped only to hear a loud bang coming from behind him. He turned to see the door to the back of the van ripped right off and a young woman standing there with it in her hands. Not letting the situation get to him, he quickly grabbed hold of Ryo and put a gun to his head. " Make another move and he is dead."

"It seems you do not understand the situation you are in. You come and ruin my vacation and have harmed one of my people, kidnapping them against their will. Do you think you can just get away with doing such things?" Alicia's eyes were as cold as ice as she waved her hand making the gun in the man's hands disappear. She then wrapped the man in her spiritual power, yanking him up into the air smashing him into the ceiling of the van. 

"Did you really think this was going to work? Did your country think they could lay their hands on my people!?" Alicia was angry, very angry. She was mad because her sister had finally found her true love only for him to be kidnapped right from under her nose. The thought of her sister crying like she was pained her heart. 

"Let me go!" The man finally yelled after catching his breath. 

But Alicia did not listen as she slammed him so hard against the ceiling of the van that he broke right through it. She then waved her hand at the driver who had just pulled out a gun sending him flying through the windshield. Only then did she walk over to Ryo and undo his binds and take the bag off his head. "Brother in law are you okay?"

"Huh? Ah yes… I thank you. Is Blanche okay? I am sure she was freaked out by what happened. Hopefully, she is not blaming herself." Ryo said forcing a smile. 

Alicia smiled and said: "You truly love her, I am glad. Not anyone can go through such an experience and only care about someone else instead of themselves. Please take good care of my sister in the future and make sure you make me lots of nieces and nephews." 

Ryo blushed but nodded his head. "I will first get a cybernetic body like hers. I want to be able to protect my family when it is time. I do not want to let this ever happen again no matter what."

"Thank you, for everything." Ryo said before disappearing from where he stood.

Alicia turned to look at the people she had just knocked out and waved her hand wrapping her spiritual qi around the two men. The JSDF had stopped the other vehicles and detained the men within them as well. Alicia brought the two men with her and hand them over to the JSDF captain, before asking: "What country are they from?" 

"United States… These guys are navy seals. But we have also found and detained other groups from Russia and China, the United Kingdom, among others as well. It seems everyone wished to have a piece of the cake this time around." The captain was very nervous in Alicia's presence. They had flown over by helicopter and they were met with a young girl floating in the air waiting for them. It was a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"It seems before I leave I will need to make a trip to visit these powers." Alicia said with a smile that sent chills down the captain's spine. "I will speak to your emperor and give him a gift for his help this time around." 

Alicia had decided to help the Japanese government advance their technology by leaps and bounds if they came through for her. She wanted to do so not only because it was originally once her homeland but because she felt the people of Japan deserved it. Although they did try to capture her at the start, they made up for it by sending people to protect her home. A show of good faith and then coming through with helping her save Ryo so things would not become a blood bath was a plus in her book. 

The captain looked at Alicia in surprise as he asked: "Gift?"

"Mm… You may find out what it is in due time." Alicia gave a sly grin before disappearing from where she stood. Reappearing back in the Emperor's study once again scaring the tea out of him. "I wish to thank you for keeping your word. As such I will reward you for your hard work."
