Chapter 499: Kerza (1/2)
Bang.
A thunderous sound echoed inside the room. Unfortunately, only two people were able to hear such a sound in this soundproof room. The one who slammed the table itself, France's Prime Minister, Oliver Jacquard, and a squid that was able to sit like a normal human.
The squid had red skin and used two of its tentacles as if they were human legs while the rest acted as his hands.
”That b*tch!” Oliver gnashed his teeth. Veins bulged on his forehead and his eyes were wide open as if they could fall any minute. His heart beat rapidly until he could listen to the beating sound in his eardrums, resonating with his organs.
His face looked like he wanted to say something, but it was so red that it made such a thing not possible.
Oliver simply fell silent with his hands on the table, clutching it as though he wanted to rip it apart.
Instead of Oliver, the squid was the one breaking the silence. ”I have told you not to underestimate Kai Carter. Do you think she is going to make any move if there's no outside force? He must be the one pulling all the strings.”
”That's impossible. He has gone to Lithuania. And his women have been stopped inside the base, there's no way to contact her and convince her to do this type of thing. There's no way that witch will play with fire for no reason!” Oliver refused to believe that Kai was involved in this.
After all, the moment his first attempt to kill Kai failed, he started making Kai busy, forcing him to take missions. He also made sure to tighten the security around to prevent Kai from going around to meet Marsha.
That was why he was confused why Marsha decided to take action. ”There must be something going on. There are three S Rank Magicians in this base. Rena Alberona has gone back to her home without getting involved in any of this matter. Jules Campbell is also occupied by the Red Ghost Organization that kidnapped their maid. Only Arnaud had been sniffing around. Even so, I know the capability of that man. He is not enough to move that witch!”
”As I said, you're underestimating Kai Carter. We have been suffering many losses every time we fought against him.”
”You're the one overestimating Kai Carter. How do you think he can even get in contact with that witch? A mere phone call is not enough for something like this.”
”What if it's enough?” He shrugged. ”I can say it again and again. Whenever something big is going on, Kai Carter is the culprit. That's the decision of the Sea Council.”
”You're overestimating him!” Oliver slammed the table again and glared at the squid. ”Do you think he is some sort of God that can do everything?”
”…” The squid fell silent, even though he was fuming in anger inside. Due to the restriction, he couldn't say anything regarding Kai's identity as Human Race Protector, so he couldn't explain to him that humanity had been underestimating Kai Carter the whole time.
After all, it was the same as underestimating their own absolute king. It was already a capital offense and they were to be executed if such a thing happened. Unfortunately, humanity was too foolish and prideful, making them unable to see the truth before their eyes. No, they might have seen the truth, but they just refused to believe it.
”That's all I want to say. Kai Carter is the culprit and my point still stands even if you don't want to believe it.”
Oliver gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, trying to find a reason to rebuke him again. However, the squid already stated, ”Human Oliver, I think you do not understand your position here. We've agreed to make you one of us and save you from humanity's doom. If I said Kai Carter is the culprit, you're going to believe it even if you hate it! Understand?”
Oliver obviously didn't like such a thing. He thought he could control humanity and made them under him. He would rule humanity under these sea people before rising through the ranks, allowing them to see that placing him on the bottom rank was wrong.
Unfortunately, the squid didn't see it that way. He had fed up with Oliver's adamant attitude and ordered him to stop.
