*Yawn*

Kai gradually opened his eyes when the airplane was about to land. He had enough fun on the island before he needed to fight that spider. The group seemed to have their own thought about the incoming raid mission and seemed to be pretty eager to experience it because they knew what they needed to improve before going.

When they returned to their house, they seemed to busy themselves with all the things they needed to improve.

Just like before, Michelle asked Kai to accompany her in practice. Ayaka began her research about the perfect control after submitting her request for her equipment. Tasha began her training with Rapakha. She even updated her progress every day to Kai, and he didn't find it annoying because he knew that Tasha was alright.

Evan seemed to be pondering the meaning behind Rapakha's advice to the point he came to Isabelle to ask her opinion. He didn't dare to disclose the matter to his family for the time being, lest they got caught into something big.

As for Sofia, she only sent an apology to him without any apparent reason.

And finally, a few weeks later, Kai was reading a research paper in their room before someone knocked on the door.

"Is that Tasha?" Kai furrowed his eyebrows. Tasha was supposed to return today after finishing her training, but when he listened to the footsteps, it sounded pretty heavy. That kind of sound shouldn't come from Tasha. In other words, there was someone behind that door. "Come in."

"You thought I was Tasha… But it's me, your beloved grandfather-in-law!" Nathan entered the room righteously while pumping his fist as if he just won. His smile was irritating everyone. Even Sanae started getting bored with his acting.

Michelle suddenly appeared behind him and launched a sneak attack.

Nathan already sensed her. She seemed to want to grab his collar and throw him out. But Nathan made a complete turn around by grabbing her hand and threw her at Kai. Of course, he threw her so her head would dive first, and his target was none other than Kai's lips.

And just like that, the two kissed. Nathan laughed again. "Haha… Sneak attack is fine but looks at this granddaughter. Not only have I forgiven you, but I also give you the chance to kiss your husband."

"Why do I need a chance to kiss him?" Michelle immediately snarled after regaining her composure.

Kai also twitched his eyebrows. Even though he didn't mind being kissed by Michelle, Nathan wasn't someone that generous. In fact, he seemed to be using that to make Sofia angry. What a petty but thoughtful guy.

"Anyway, why do you come here, Sir Nathan?" Kai sighed and asked.

"Ah. I am goin—" Before he finished his words, a magic circle appeared out of nowhere, stopping him from opening his mouth.

"Teleportation." The magic circle waited for no one. As soon as it was completed, it teleported Nathan somewhere as a familiar figure appeared.

"Ya! It seems everyone is disturbed, so I think I should send him off first." Tasha grinned. She even changed to a school uniform, telling that she had returned home to change before going to school.

"You should tell me if you have arrived. I would come to grab you." Kai was surprised a bit to see his sister.

"Haha… It's fine. I was using my Teleportation Magic anyway, so it didn't take too long." Tasha smiled.

"By the way, where did you teleport him?" Michelle asked and continued with an expectant look. "Tell me you sent him to the afterlife."

"Oi oi… Don't kill your grandfather just like that…" Nathan appeared again while scratching his head. "She teleported me to the rooftop. Still, to think she could even do this to me now, you must have improved your ability that much from your training. It makes me curious as to what training you have undergone."

"That is a secret that Elder Rapakha told me not to tell anyone." Tasha smiled. "Well, I also can't really use much because I haven't mastered it yet. It will take a while to practice it as well."

"Anyway, that was good magic and timing earlier." Nathan nodded.

"Thank you."

"By the way, I need to talk with you. How dare you to teleport your grandfather-in-law to the roof?!" Nathan put an angry face.

Tasha only smiled and asked him. "Or do you want me to send you to the girl's changing room?"

"Eh?!" Nathan's body shook as he instinctively said. "No."

"Hahahaha! Do it next time! No, you must do it right now!" Michelle laughed out loud. "I want to see how the powerful but humorous general becomes known as a perverted general."

"My dear granddaughter, your reputation will also be hit if I have such a title, you know. And I will claim that your husband is with me."

Michelle's body shook as she tried to search for another way to corner him. "No. If it's him, the girls will instead flock to him. Wouldn't that be even more detrimental for you?"

"Now you say it, it's certainly true. Anyway, if you still dare to do it, I will arrange another marriage that he can't escape. Hehe… I have many connections you see." Nathan grinned as he confronted his own granddaughter.

*Cough!* Kai decided to stop these two immature acts and asked. "What are you doing here, Sir Nathan? If it's about the island, I have submitted the report myself."

"No. It's not for that. I am going to discuss the matter of our Raid Mission." Nathan shook his head.

Kai's expression turned serious when he heard that before asking Tasha. "Can you close the door?"

Tasha nodded and closed the door before Kai offered Nathan to sit.

"What is this about? Do we have any problems in the deployment?"

"There is no problem as of now. Since 'they' are not hiding their movement, we can expect them to appear on the battlefield. The problem is their number. We don't have enough power to determine how many magical beasts they bring."

"I think it won't be that much. Even if they can use the river to come to us, bringing too much will also be a problem." Kai shook his head.

"I think the same, but there is that mad scientist. Although I can see how serious you are going against those Protectors, you are lacking in the matter of this scientist."

"Hmm… Now that I think about it, it's indeed as you say. Our current situation is too focused on the Protectors. Even though I should know that we shouldn't be too fixated on them because it will be hard to kill them…" Kai clicked his tongue, realizing the flaw in his plan.

"Don't beat yourself hard. We didn't realize it too earlier, so we are also part of the fault here." Nathan smiled. "Since this plan is yours, I am thinking, what do you want to do with him?"

Kai thought for a moment. "Nevertheless, rather than fixating over enemies that are hard to kill, we should focus on our force to kill this scientist first."

"Are you going to use your trump card on him instead of the protectors?"

"No. It will be hard to do that. I want to make a special detachment force with an army of two thousand fighters from either General Ethan or General Jose."

"If that is the case, you can ask Jose for it." Nathan nodded.

"Alright." Kai nodded. "Besides, my goal is not only the scientist but also the protectors. Anyway, my teacher is going to be a part of our original plan, but I am going to lead this new special force."

Nathan looked down and played with his chin. After a long five minutes, he finally understood Kai's plan. "I see. That's what you are aiming for."

"In that case, you might want the best of the best from his army to ensure its success." Nathan nodded. "I will request it to him myself."

"Thank you very much." Kai paused for a moment. "I have another request in that case."

"What is it?"

"I want my group to accompany me, including Sofia."

"!!!" Sofia widened her eyes. She bet Kai didn't want to take her, so she didn't achieve anything in this base. Yet, he seemed to have another plan. Whether it was a good or bad plan, it was good enough for her as long as she was included.

"I can understand that. In that case, I will have Isabelle's group to standby too."

"No. Isabelle is fine, but I don't think I need her group here. Besides, you should know that we fought against Rapakha together with only Isabelle. Although I can't say the details, I only want you to know that I need her." Kai shook his head calmly.

"I see. Alright. I will have her group to protect her. Unfortunately, that Tommy seems to be occupied with that matter."

"It's fine."

"No, no. Do you know who his fiancee is?"

"It's the current Student Council President, right?"

"Then do you know about her other identity?"

Kai tilted his head along with the others before Evan mentioned it. "General Sanders's daughter."

"What?!" Kai and the others shouted out loud while blinking their eyes.

"You are right. She is that man's daughter and a prodigy in a defensive war. It's said that her talent is even better than Ethan himself. That's why she has this kind of pride in her heart."

"Now I see why Tommy said she is dangerous." Kai nodded in understanding. "In any case, it won't affect our plan. I will do everything possible to eliminate the immediate threat and weaken our enemies as a whole."

"Since you have decided, I will then leave." Nathan nodded. "There are three more days before we march to the battlefield and launch the operation the next day, so get plenty of rest and come with your best condition."

Kai saluted. "Yes."
