Chapter 489: Heading to the Shore (1/2)
After settling the plan with Arnaud, Kai finally returned to the school without visiting the hospital. Inside his room, Sofia came to him with a serious expression, asking, ”Are you sure you're going to continue with this crazy plan?”
Kai smiled and nodded. ”Yes.”
There was no doubt in his eyes that he could succeed, making even Sofia ponder the true probability of him reaching Sweden within three days with that insane plan.
”Are you worried?”
”Of course. What is that stupid question…” She shook her head helplessly and placed her hand on his cheek. ”It's going to be dangerous, you know.”
”It's fine. It's not like I'm planning to defeat a protector inside the sea.” Kai shrugged, knowing that the protector wouldn't even think about this plan as he had already known the way to reach Sweden in three days.
”It seems there is no way for me to follow you… Maybe I can freeze a portion of the sea as we continue our way…”
”That's going to be suspicious for the others. Instead, you and Roselyn are to remain here or go for another mission.” Kai thought for a moment and continued, ”And with Felice's condition, I feel like it's right for Roselyn to visit her.”
”So, you want me to watch her from time to time?”
”Yes. Is that too much to ask?”
”Not at all. Although I can't go with you, solving your worries is something I can do.”
”Thanks.” Kai nodded with a serious expression and looked at her. ”There is something I want to tell you.”
”What is it? Do you want me to do something?”
”Yes. Can you ask for any information about this Prime Minister? I'm afraid there is someone standing behind him that protects him all the time. That's why I believe it's not the time to make a reckless move by killing him. And if the Prime Minister indeed comes for us, eliminate whoever's behind him. Of course, ask Roselyn for help.”
Sofia pondered and nodded not long after. ”I understand. I will work together with Arnaud. Besides, grandfather is pressuring the organization that attacks us to prevent any more attacks. It's also a good choice for us to remain here.”
”Yes. I will be leaving everything to you.”
”Sure.”
The next day.
Kai woke up and gave a peck on Sofia's forehead before heading out with minimum equipment.
He gently knocked on Roselyn's door.
When Roselyn opened the door with her sleepy eyes, she lightly rubbed her eyes before finding Kai standing before her.
She looked down and realized she was in her pajamas. She quickly fixed her clothes and asked in a panic. ”Wha—What do you want? I mean, do you need anything from me?”
”Yeah. You should have received the mission from Sir Arnaud, right? I want to start the mission right now.”
”This early?” Roselyn tilted her head in confusion.
”Yes. Since we don't have much time left, I better go right now.” Kai nodded with a serious expression.
