Chapter 160 Chapter 160- Operation: Behemoth (Part 1)

A few days pa.s.sed in complete silence from both the Guild and Kai. After the training ended, he returned back to his old life as if nothing happened.

Granted, the school was confused about his disappearance for a whole month and some days. But, it wasn't a problem that mind control couldn't fix. All he had to do was make the teachers think that he was there the whole time.

It was easy enough to do for the teachers but he also had to do it for the students. The reason for that was Eva's insane popularity among them. She was basically a magnet of attention without trying to be one.

In the end, for better or worse, the situation was diffused quickly and the days pa.s.sed as if nothing happened. Kaya and Eva had to still stay in his house because of their situation. As for Miyu, well, she was a whole different kind of trouble.

He couldn't simply hide her in his house since she's too big of a cat to do that. He also couldn't build her a house just like he did back in the forest. At first glance, it seemed that keeping her with them in a city would be impossible. But, the one who found a solution was Eva.

"We can stay at the house I bought in this city." She said. "I have too much s.p.a.ce there anyway."

That villa had a bigger s.p.a.ce for Miyu to move so it shouldn't be a problem for her size. So, after much contemplation, the group decided to move there. Living there, Kaya and Eva appeared to be normal and Kai a.s.sumed they were at first.

But, subtle changes made him scratch that idea. He had noticed many things about the two. For example, whenever he wakes up in the middle of the night to drink some water, he notices that the two girls are awake.

Not only that, but he also noticed that they didn't eat as much as they usually do even when it was his cooking. They also seemed to be more clingy than usual and not in a teasing way either. It was as if they were scared of losing him at any moment.

Kai tried to ignore it at first as he knew such mental battles weren't something that he could really fix. But, when he noticed that their lives were deteriorating because of stress, he knew he couldn't just sit and watch.

That's why, on the day before the operation, Kai sat the two girls down. They were confused at first since it was unusual for Kai to initiate a conversation in this manner.

Eyeing the two of them silently, Kai finally exhaled a long breath and spoke. "Why are you stressing out?"

"Huh?" The two looked at him confusedly.

"Don't try to hide it. I already noticed it. You two aren't sleeping or eating. You spend your whole day either daydreaming or hugging me. That isn't normal." He explained with a stern tone.

Hearing that, Eva and Kaya seemed to realize what was wrong as they looked away with a complicated expression.

"Why are you scared?" He asked again, pus.h.i.+ng them to answer.

"It's not fear I'm just worried." Eva replied quietly.

"Me too"

"Then, why are you worrying?"

"..." (x2)

"Since neither of you will answer. I will be frank. I don't need your help or anyone's help to destroy the Guild. My powers are more than enough. I can do it myself. The only reason I included others, including you two, is because I know that you both want to help."

"Of course, Kai! We're just" Kaya tried to speak but Kai signaled for her to allow him to continue.

"If it was for this plan alone, I could understand the worry. It's risky. But, it's not about the plan, it's who's going to execute it that matters. As long as I'm there You two won't need to worry." Kai added in a tone full of confidence.

Such words were indeed arrogant at first look. But, the two girls only saw a man stating facts. If there was one person who was allowed to spout those words without sounding arrogant or foolish, it was Kai. His power spoke louder than any arrogant words he would utter.

"So, don't stress out and follow the plan. As long as you do, you will be fine."

The two girls looked at him with a myriad of emotions. His words did indeed make them realize that they were overthinking. They had the strongest in their lines, why should they worry?

"Understood?" Kai asked.

Finally, the two girls nodded their heads.

"Good. Tomorrow night, we will finish all of this."

***

Hours pa.s.sed quietly before finally, the moment they were waiting for arrived. Kai, Eva, Kaya, and even Miyu took the private jet to Evernight City a day prior.

They then rented a small house slightly close to the HQ. It was rather risky to be this close to that place. But, as they said 'To hide a tree, you must put it in a forest.'

If the Guild had a suspicion that Kai might attack them, they would never think he would stay this close to them.

*Ten hours before Operation Behemoth starts.*

Eva picked up the phone and dialed a certain number that she had memorized. Under Kai and Kaya's gazes, she put the phone near her ear. Then, she coughed a few times before the line picked up.

"h.e.l.lo, who is this?"

"Is this Mr. Evans? This is the Evernight General Hospital. We've received a patient who seems to be your spouse, Miss Lucia Evans, am I correct?"

"Y-Yes! That's my wife! Is she OK?! What happened?!" A distressed man replied.

"Well, some bystanders noticed her walking across the street before suddenly collapsing and losing consciousness. She's now in the ER. We need your presence here as soon as possible."

"Y-Yes! I'm coming!"

Eva nodded her head at Kai when the call ended.

Kai changed his appearance and left the apartement, making sure to warn Kaya and Eva who kept an eye out for any suspicious movements.

Then, with casual attire and even more casual expression, he strode right toward the HQ's main entrance as if nothing happened.

Since the main entrance led immediately to the construction section of the HQ, Kai didn't find any problem entering inside.

The interior looked like a typical, cozy reception area. It had some people waiting inside and a rather pleasant-looking receptionist.

"Welcome to Behemoth Construction Company. How may I help you?" She asked.

Kai's -changed face- suddenly changed from calm to a gentle, fake smile.

"I would like to meet one of your Project Managers. I want to build a house for me and my wife." He said.

"Oh, of course. Please wait a moment. Congratulations on your marriage by the way, sir."

"Thank you. Me and my wife are really excited to finally build our dream home. I really can't wait." He replied with a happy smile.

"Thank you for choosing our company to start your project. I a.s.sure you that you've chosen the best place for the fastest and the most efficient way to build your dream house."

"Oh, I'm so sure of that."

The receptionist nodded her head before she made a call and talked to someone. Meanwhile, Kai simply looked around, scanning the area in great detail. Not much has changed in this place during the 5 years he was out.

However, he still captured every detail of the place. Every decoration, electric wire, dust, anything he can see.

"Oh, that's troublesome. I'm sorry, sir. I need to leave for a moment." She said with a small frown before she left her desk.

Kai nodded his head as he pulled out a small, unknown object and planted it secretly behind the reception desk's monitor.
