Chapter 186: The World's View

In United Asia, specifically inside Katsuragi Family Mansion stood many people, watching the big news of a new hero.

The revelation shocked them to the core as they couldn't expect the boy identity. Many men became candidates as they were already prominent figures in US Base, but never did they know the new hero, and Ria Ross's student was Kai Carter. The man they chased away from this place.

"Akagi-dono." Ikeda Kenzo, who had joined forces with Katsuragi Family, obviously watched this news together with them. He looked at the distorted face of Katsuragi's Family Head.

"Damn!" Katsuragi Akagi released his aura and shouted in anger. "No. I should have expected something like this! He was already abnormal from his age alone, and I should kill him in this base to avoid future problems like this!"

No one in the room dared to speak because they knew his anger was at the peak. Only Ikeda Kenzo, who was equal to him, broke his silence. "Akagi-dono. What should we do now? Send assassins to him?"

"Do you think we can kill him now?" Akagi gritted his teeth and shouted. "Those southern barbarians still watch our movement. If we send too little, there will be no way the US base will let them live, and that brat must also have a way to kill them. If we send too many, those barbarians will attack us!"

Even Ikeda Kenzo knew this, but Kai's progress was actually beyond his imagination. He always believed that he was the abnormal one despite having an S rank magician as his sister. Yet, two emotions conflicted in his mind at this moment, preventing him from making a good question.

On one hand, he was happy that he could see a young man that could shoulder all of that. On the other hand, he didn't know whether his previous actions would lead to which future. Would it be where his family died upon Kai's revenge? Or Where Kai didn't avenge the grievances and stayed quiet on the US base?

Kenzo closed his eyes and sighed. 'If that young man rises, the moment his sword comes to our neck will be the day we perish…'

"We can only fight the Southern Family first before doing anything to Kai Carter. There is also a possibility of him sitting there quietly without a single thought of revenge." Kenzo looked at Akagi.

"I won't believe that boy can think like that! The way he acts and thinks surpasses his peers and is very different. As long as there is a chance of revenge, I will eliminate him." Akagi shook his head. "The Southern Family is slowly crumbling because of our force, and the Government has pulled away from this affair. I will finish this battle within three years and kill that brat!"

"Still, it's not over a year, but that boy has reached Second Lieutenant Rank… I believe in another year; he will be a Major. If he reaches General Rank, I'm afraid we can't kill him. At the same time, they might try to attack us and join forces with Southern Family to remove our families." Kenzo sighed. What he actually worried about wasn't the Katsuragi Family or their ambition, he just wanted to extend his lifespan even a little bit. Unfortunately, he had fallen deeper and deeper into Katsuragi Akagi's plot to the point he couldn't break free.

"It's only because of their S rank! If I can remove their S rank, I can destroy them within two years or less." Akagi released his killing intent. "Anyway… I will change our tactics to speed up the process. If we are able to destroy them before that brat takes his revenge, we can absorb those barbarians for a moment to stop that brat from revenge."

"He might bring US Base Soldiers to attack us…" Ikeda Kenzo sighed. The two continued talking about their plan to end this situation.

Meanwhile,

Under the water, a certain mermaid just got the information from her subordinate.

Her expression turned grim as she slowly took a deep breath and ordered the dolphin that accompanied her everywhere. "Kiora Tril Aogo (We will proceed with the second phase)."

The dolphin nodded and swum away.

"Still… To think the human killed him. Although it was on the land and Ra was our weakest one, his strength shouldn't be underestimated. Unfortunately, I can't watch the battle because it will raise suspicion. Besides, the original plan was to have him escape there and inform me of everything…

"I wonder if he knows why this earth is crying right now…" The mermaid closed her eyes and shook her head in disappointment. "Nonetheless, he should reach far enough. The problem is what will be his take in the future."

The mermaid closed her eyes and looked down on the seabed, stroking the ground with her hand. "I wonder if humans will understand you."

…

At the same time, this reaction also sent a shiver to the last base, EU Base.

Europe Union Base… As the name suggested, this base stood tall on previous European land. Every country joined hands and decided to make capital in Austria due to the strategic location and was far from the sea.

Their situation was very similar to US Base, where they started conquering Canada and South America or how United Asia expanded to Korea, China, and Southeast Asia.

They had taken back up to Spain and Turkey as their border while having the previous United Kingdom as their western base. They even took back Sweden and Finland on the north because they could start taking back Russia lands with two fronts, Finland and Belarus.

Inside a mansion in Austria, a certain girl smiled as she watched the news. She observed Kai Carter before putting her hand to cover her face.

A magic circle appeared, and her face turned into Kai's face. It would confuse everyone because it was very identical to the real one, of course, if her chest and clothes were changed accordingly.

Suddenly, the magic circle broke, and her face changed back.

"I see… This is interesting. I could mimic everyone's face with my ability as a Gemini, but I couldn't do it on him. This only happened when I tried mimicking another Zodiac. This guy must also be one of the Zodiacs… The question is which Zodiac… Wait! I think I know… Fufu… This is really getting interesting."

The lady grinned as she fixed her long wavy white hair. "Arfan. Are you there?"

A middle-aged man entered the room and bowed his head. "Yes, Milady."

"Do you think I can go to the US Base?"

"Milady?" The middle-aged man was confused by her question before truthfully answering her. "I am afraid you can't go under normal circumstances. The Council won't let you do such a thing."

The lady thought for a moment and said. "How about our partnership with the US Base? I am sure I can use that to go there. Just make me the representative."

"Miss… Your status is…" The middle-aged man was sweating profusely. If the lady in front of him asked for it seriously, she would get it no matter what. "You are our Zodiac miss… The only Zodiac. If you are going there…"

"Isn't it better if I go there? Our partnership is concerning Zodiac. Hence, I shall go there." She smirked cunningly. "Besides… The Council must want to know about this man to choose whether to get him or not. I am the perfect person to do this."

"But…" The middle-aged man was still unsure.

"Enough is enough. The representative should go to their base in three months, right? I will inform them to change it so they won't be shocked later. Let see… What kind of reason can I give them?" The lady fell into deep thought and said. "That's right. He is a strategist, right? We can bring him here if needed! Who knows if he will love this base and change places? Isn't it good to acquire a new hero?"

"New hero?" Not listening to the recent news, he was confused.

"Just say that I will try enticing him to come here. He has changed first from United Asia to the US base. It means there is still a chance to convert him. US Base has Zodiacs, while United Asia is governed by many families, giving birth to multiple magic practices, unique to each family… He is an unorthodox magician, right? I believe he won't think about becoming one if he was born on the US base where they used generic magic or our place. He has acquired the power from two bases, and I am sure this power can entice him. After all, we are developing something very different than them. Just say it to my father that I want to go. If he needs a reason, I will explain it to him later."

"I understand." The middle-aged man nodded and went outside.

On the other hand, the lady simply sat on her couch and looked at the screen again. "Evan Young, Isabelle Fisher, or that Louis Spencer couldn't make my blood boil… I never believed that they were the second generation of Zodiacs, but it seems I was wrong. To think the first-ever Zodiac is actually real and he had been hiding in United Asia this whole time. I need to investigate his whole information first."

Due to her mimicking ability, she could feel the other person's feelings. Yet, the only thing she could feel from Kai was pain.

Normally, if her mimicking ability were undone, it would gradually turn her face back. However, the pain that could make one go insane shattered her focus, breaking her magic circle into pieces.

"Let us see… What kind of person you actually are Kai Carter, no… I should call you, Leo?" She smirked.
