Chapter 454: Training Schedule (1/2)
”Still… A Protector, huh.” Sofia let out a short sigh while looking at Kai. ”I won't say that I'm not shaken with this truth, but I can honestly say I don't have any regret becoming your girlfriend. Since things have come to this point, we can talk about it tomorrow.”
”Yeah. Sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but this status weighed so much. It would've been better for me to shoulder it alone.”
Sofia touched his forehead to stop him from talking while shaking her head. ”Nah. That's not true. From my perspective, I can see that the reasons they are openly showing their information are due to them having full loyalty to this place and you.
”Hence, they have the right to retain the information. Unfortunately for me, I am still tied down with my Campbell Family. That's why I don't have that right. Of course, I'm not saying that it will be soon, but eventually, I will know about it all whether it's from you or them.
”That's why they put me at ease by telling me all that information. Still… I believe Tasha and Michelle have known about it.”
Kai nodded while closing his eyes. ”I have told Tasha and Michelle that I'm a Protector. However, they haven't known anything other than what it meant to be a Protector. Of course, I'm talking about Race Protectors, not the fake ones the US Base are handling.”
”I see.” Sofia nodded and replied, ”Well, we have three more months in this place. I have hidden many secrets from you too, so I don't have the right to be angry with you for hiding something. But this is just my selfish wish, don't disappear so suddenly without news, okay?”
Kai nodded with a smile. ”Yeah. I will do my best.”
”What is this, Jules? I feel like my heart has been rejuvenated again. Ah, I feel like I need to get another wife.” Arnaud covered his eyes, pretending to be crying as if he just watched a good drama.
”Chill dude.” Jules shook his head helplessly, knowing everything was a joke. As much as he wanted to joke around, this problem was concerning his granddaughter. He wanted to take it seriously.
Luckily, Kai and Sofia seemed to be handling the relationship maturely, not making an assumption or another and messing up the relationship. He wished the three months made the situation clear for them to continue their relationship. At the same time, he felt guilty for not being able to openly say, ”You don't need to be tied down to the family,” for various reasons.
He failed to be her grandfather.
After settling down her messy heart, she stepped back and looked at the others, wondering if they had any messages they wanted to give to Kai.
”I don't have anything to say other than please take care of my granddaughter. I can't say many things about it.” Jules let out a long sigh before lowering his head until it almost touched the floor, remembering that Kai came from United Asia.
”Please don't say it like that. Sofia is my girlfriend. It's my job to protect her.” Kai shook his head. ”I am not the best protector out there who can put their race above their family, so yeah… I wonder if it's still alright with me becoming a full-fledged one.”
Jules smiled, feeling assured. As he said earlier, Kai wouldn't be the best person out there to be a leader, but he was certainly a good head of a household.
”Since most of the information will be wiped out tomorrow, I only need to remember two things. To give full support to my son and granddaughter for whatever they want to do in the future without questioning the loss and family sustainability. Secondly, I need to tell them we have no need to worry about the Union for no reason.”
”Oi, don't say it like that, especially in front of me.” Arnaud couldn't help but cut in. ”I need to know that I should've beaten up Jules Campbell in this place…”
”Pfft.” Jules stuck his tongue out, teasing Arnaud. ”No need to say anything, you suck, Arnaud.”
”Do you want to fight against me, Jules? You're the strongest, but your age keeps growing and your ability gradually decreases because of your aging body. I feel like I have enough power to challenge you right now.”
”Hmph. You're still not enough, kiddo.” Jules shrugged.
Arnaud paused for a moment and shook his head. ”Anyway, I only know that Roselyn is the new S Rank Magician and proceed with the necessary procedure to level up her authority. This also means that she is independent enough to create a household.
”After all, no matter how bad the training in this place is, I can feel that even if there are ten of me, I can't even defeat that woman. That's why I know our Roselyn will have the same strength as an S Rank Magician and officially become my successor. What do you think?” Arnaud glanced at Roselyn with a smirk.
Roselyn was overwhelmed by everything, especially since she just tagged along. To think the mission became this important and would bring this much change to her life, she was baffled and happy at the same time.
