The Magician of Sound - Chapter 544

With that order, the entire forces retreated to Chile Military Base.

Because of the report, even the president needed to join the meeting by making a video call.

As expected, Kai needed to give more explanation to the president and other generals who participated in the previous battle.

Luckily, Kai could maintain his innocence by pressing the point he had stated.

After a long discussion with the others, he finally had the time to rest, knowing they couldn’t press Kai too much or they might lose him for good.

The first one that would take advantage of the situation would be Marsha. As soon as she invited him to the EU Base, the US Base would become the second United Asia, becoming another foolish base that abandoned the “hero”.

It would become even worse if the citizens believed what Kai said since it would mean Kai’s status became even higher.

After dismissing all the Generals from the meeting room, Kai retired to his room while furrowing his eyebrows.

Michelle, Ayaka, Tasha, Sofia and even Ria Ross visited him due to the importance of the matter.

Sofia couldn’t help but say, “Yo, this lowly one greets Saint Kai Carter.”

“Pfft.” Michelle and Tasha burst out laughing. There was a big difference between a Saint and a Protector after all.

Hearing their laughter, Kai only rolled his eyes and looked away.

“You three should stop.” Ayaka let out a long sigh, knowing that Kai only had that option to hide his identity.

“Still, since the enemy has known your identity, is there a reason for you to hide the fact that you are also a protector?” Ria asked with a serious expression.

“Unfortunately, yes.” Kai nodded, confirming her question. “First of all, it will affect our morale, considering the terminology used by them and the real one is the same. They will think I’m one of them, lowering the trust between us.

“I won’t be able to utilize or raise their morale on the battlefield, which is quite a hassle. On the other hand, if this matter is revealed on the battlefield, they will realize I’m truly a Human Race Protector. No other conspiracy theories will come out during that battle, knowing that the battle would become the one that decides the entire humanity’s fate.

“Of course, I can simply ignore them, considering the power of the Protector is like that of a God. They are so strong that it’s hard for them to recognize Protectors as normal beings.

“After that, although I am aware of the fact that I’m a Protector from their point of view, they have yet to understand the graveness of this matter. This will at least provide me with some sort of protection in terms of information and safety.

“In other words, I can move freely around to prepare for the big war. There are various things I want to prepare for the war after all…” Kai looked down, falling into deep thought.

“Do you need anything from us? We can do a few things to help you,” asked Ria, thinking about the burden he needed to carry.

“It’s fine.” Kai shook his head with a smile. “All I want is for all of you to keep training to fight their strongest fighters. If it’s not due to his warning, I may get assassinated before the war even starts… Not from them but others that may try to help them.”

“I understand. I should keep practicing to make sure I can cut down the shark by myself. I wonder if that shark fin is good for health, considering he has evolved.” Ria looked up, seriously thinking about it.

Kai chuckled and looked at the girls. “I wish you could do it too. Also, tell Felice we have another matter and I need to delay her training. She probably needs to wait a bit longer.”

“I will tell Felice about it.” Tasha nodded.

“Then I will take care of your parents.” Michelle raised her hand. “That means I am going to stay in the house for most of the time. Leah will probably be with me, so yeah?”

“In that case, I want Ayaka to do something for me.” Kai smiled. “You are going to visit United Asia since you are familiar with it. I will list everything you need to do there.”

“I understand.” She nodded. “I will do my best to fulfill all those missions.”

“Thanks. As for Sofia, I also need you to go back to the EU Base. I know that this is a big request, but—” Before he finished, Sofia already put her finger on his mouth, stopping him from talking.

“No need to say anything. I know my role here. Let me share your burden too.” She smiled. “Besides, my grandfather may visit the US base sooner or later, considering he may have a good relationship with Ayaka and Michelle’s grandfathers. I feel like they will understand each other.”

“Haha. Let them do what they want to do.” Kai chuckled and turned to Ria. “I will ask Teacher to deal with all my school problems.”

“I will just make that bastard Brent deal with this.” She snorted.

If they were ordinary citizens, they would have dropped their jaws after hearing Ria Ross wanted their president to deal with school problems personally.

Kai laughed.

“Though, I’m still wondering why you choose this way? I mean, your power will become so great that we can’t do anything if you want to annihilate us in the future. This also means the two Protectors can just deal with the problem, right?”

Kai nodded. “Yes. If two protectors fight, the winner can annihilate the rest of the enemy alone.”

“Then…” Ria frowned.

“It’s restricted by the Ancient Pact. Unless the protector is offended by the opposite party who is not a protector, they can’t retaliate. It’s like letting the mortals resolve the conflict against other mortals. I can’t do anything to them unless they directly insult me or something.

“If I don’t obey this Ancient Pact, I will be besieged by multiple Protectors, bringing another catastrophe to humanity. I don’t mean to say that this Ancient Pact is bad… After all, without the Ancient Pact, the Protectors have no rule to restrict their movements, making the world chaotic.

“Imagine if there were multiple apocalypses throughout history… And a continent can become a ruin in an instant because of two protectors… This is why the Protectors are restricted. Their power is too great and no one can defeat them, so they make a rule among themselves to ensure the stability of Earth.

“In other words, it’s not our original mission to let the planet run its course. It’s us who wants it that way to prevent us from destroying our own home.” He smiled. “Unfortunately, I can’t say much regarding this matter because of the nondisclosure agreement in the Ancient Pact, but yeah, you get my point.”

“I see. Too strong is also bad, huh.” Ria chuckled. “Anyway, even if you are crippled, I will take care of you.”

“Thank you, Teacher. But please don’t hope for something bad.” Kai shook his head helplessly with a smile on his face.

“Anyway, I think you have made your point. All we need to do is to return to the US Base.” Ria stretched her body while yawning. “I’m going to rest since I have depleted my Magic Power.”

“Yes. Please take care of your health, Teacher.” Kai nodded with a serious expression.
