"According to our information, it took five S Rank Magicians to take this creature down. And all of them are heavily injured and have been admitted into intensive care in the hospital. They may require at least a few months to recover to full health in the hospital."

The reporter's voice echoed in Marsha's ears as she pinched the bridge of her nose. She sat in a hospital room with a troubled expression.

​​

"So, care to explain to me what's happening right now?" Marsha asked with a frown. She was too tired to even maintain her polite facade in front of Kai.

Next to her, Kai was lying on the bed with a smile on his face. Despite having wounds all over his body, he seemed to be pretty satisfied with her work.

After a while, Kai decided to open his mouth. "I can't say much."

"Then, please tell me what you can tell me. I am too tired to even work on my words with you. Don't you know how hard it's to control the entire population of the EU Base while influencing those in other bases?"

"I know, I know." Kai chuckled. "To put it simply, they want to annihilate us."

"To what degree?"

"Complete annihilation."

"Do you trust this information?"

"Ninety percent and it's also historically correct."

"Historically correct?" She frowned. If what he said was true, then the humans had been living side by side with these creatures this whole time. In that case, the scale of this problem turned out to be far bigger than she imagined.

"Yes. I can't tell you the exact myth, but I can guarantee its authenticity."

Marsha thought for a moment and asked, "So, you want to unite the three bases together?"

"My original plan is only the US Base. After knowing the true scale of this problem, I'm going to involve the EU Base. That's why I agreed to cross the ocean."

"How about United Asia?"

"You should know my conflict with them, right?"

"Yes."

"I have told my side to focus the news on Evan coming here a few days from now. However, the truth is he and my team will arrive here at night."

"What are you planning to do?"

"Of course, I am going to have Evan heal me."

"I am asking for your real plan." Marsha raised her voice.

"Those few days will be enough for me to eliminate the Katsuragi Family. With the conflict between me and the Katsuragi Family, in the worst case, they will be swayed by the enemy. I'm sure you can understand the impact on the coalition, no?"

"Yes. I can see the chaotic situation ahead. So, you want me to hide the fact that you have recovered…"

"Yep." Kai nodded with a smile.

"That's easy. I can do that immediately. In fact, I can prepare the plane for you."

"That will be good, but it's better to send me to Korea instead. I will use Teleportation Magic to get there so as to not alert the enemy."

"Sure. In that case, we need to send you a bit farther to avoid anyone from spotting us. And you may need to jump off the plane."

"That's okay. As long as we can get a ride to conserve our stamina. Three days will be enough to resolve this conflict."

"I understand." She thought for a moment and asked, "What will you do after destroying the Katsuragi Family?"

"It's your job, you know."

"I feel like my days are going to be ruined if I know you sooner…" Marsha scratched the back of her head. "There will only be work and work because of you."

"Ahaha." Kai chuckled, not denying it.

"I wonder what the payment for working like this is…" Marsha let out a long sigh. "How about you take me as your wife too? That way you can get someone in the EU Base who has control over the union and a sexy wife at night."

"I will be too tired to do it. Although I don't mean to be rude to you or the other girls, you're too much for me to handle. I feel like you're going to take advantage of me on every occasion. To not disturb the harmony, I am afraid I can't even consider that proposal."

"My question still stands, what's the payment for these extra works?"

Kai gently stroked his cheek and said with an unsure tone. "I will tell you every secret regarding my identity together with the enemy after everything is over. How about that?"

"That's interesting." Marsha nodded. "Though, I may need to ask for a bonus later."

"I will think about it." Kai laughed and said, "Anyway, I am going to tell you my next plan to fight them."

"Sure. Tell me everything…" Marsha nodded.

…

Three hours later.

Marsha's butler, the acting Prime Minister of Sweden, stood in front of everyone and the media to announce a few things.

Next to him was a large screen where he would post every picture related to what he wanted to say.

There were many reporters that prepared to ask him many questions.

So, when he arrived in front of the podium, he hurriedly opened his mouth. "I am happy to be here to clarify all the things happening recently. As you may be aware, yesterday, we got the news about Kai Carter and four other S Rank Magicians joining hands to defeat a single creature.

"First of all, I am going to explain to you this creature first. They are another intelligent creature that seems to have inhabited the Earth since a long time ago, alongside the human. However, due to them living under the ocean, we have no knowledge about them.

"We don't have much knowledge about them except we have been fighting them since two years ago on our border. Because of the importance of their intelligence, we need to conceal the truth about it to prevent anyone from joining their side for one reason.

"Their one and only ambition is to annihilate humanity and bring us to extinction. I am sure all of you know about it. If someone wants to create chaos, they will come to them. That's why we need to make sure no information can be found. For that, I hope all of you can understand. I will answer three questions regarding them."

All people quickly raised their hands. He chose one of them.

"For what reason do they want to annihilate us?"

"That's something we can't verify yet. Due to them living under the ocean, we can't get any information since every expedition will result in failure. I believe all of us already know of the threat of the magical beasts inside the ocean."

"I believe your reasoning can't justify the reason for keeping it a secret. The citizens need to be aware of this!" Another reporter raised her voice in the name of "justice".

"It's enough to justify our action. First, we don't want our citizens to be sleeping on their beds with a constant fear of the unknown. They may come to our base and destroy us immediately. Only after we get more information can we tell you about them and this is the perfect occasion." He took a deep breath and smiled. "As I said earlier, it will be troublesome to have humanity join them in a time like this. Can you say the same words after seeing French's Former Prime Minister Oliver?"

The reporter was tongue-tied and looked down. Then another one got chosen and uttered his question. "May we know what happened to Former Prime Minister Oliver?"

"I will answer it together with the next topic. Okay, moving on."
