1746: Preparation

Preparation

"We have finished the tests as well as the quarantine. We're thankful to anyone who has been cooperative during the quarantine." The King of Fighters declared in front of everyone.0

There were a few leaders who were displeased because they had to be quarantined as well since they had a lot of business to finish. Unfortunately, not a single of them was spared.

Even Maya didn't raise any complaints. So, they had no choice but to follow the quarantine.

Now that everything had finished, they could finally return to their home and office.

"Haha, we're free now. My body is rather stiff after all this shit."

"That's true. They said it's the work of monsters!"

"They're just fooling around. I bet the King of Fighters did this to pay the Star Group back. The Star Group wouldn't have their leader during the last two weeks after all."

"That's true. And we ended up getting punished for this. It sucks."

"Yeah."

There were two students who were far away from all the monsters. When they took their tests, everything happened smoothly. And when the incident happened, they refused to believe that there was an assassination attempt.

And finally, because they had never seen anything and refused to listen to anyone's words, treating them as nonsense. They completely didn't believe anything that had happened during the quarantine and blamed everything on the King of Fighters and the government.

Some of the people were overjoyed because they could finally return to their safe homes. It was painful to be locked up because of the situation.

Some of them also began to work on their next project.

When they were having their moment of joy, there was a girl who left the group while opening her Skylink and sending a message.

"I've escaped."

It seemed she was passing a message to someone to let them know about her safety. However, there should be no reason for her to hide all this.

Unfortunately, no one noticed the girl as she took the liberty to send a couple of messages.

"Alright. It's done now." The girl smirked before suddenly her entire body was cut apart, revealing the inside that had no organs.

The girl couldn't think of anything before her consciousness faded away.

And this incident didn't happen only to the girl. There were two more people who died mysteriously, but their remnant only contained blood like the monsters.

So, when the authorities found them, they were shocked because they had missed a couple of monsters during the test.

As for the person who killed them, it was none other than Theo. He could easily see their status to know who he should kill.

After the quarantine, he had some spare time since he had to wait for Maya to decipher all the data.

Of course, Theo didn't forget to let Agata know about his current situation before calling Rea to talk about their next plan.

"How can I help you, Teacher?"

"I need you to do a few things for me. Since the enemies this time are going to be more troublesome than I imagine, I need you to prepare two things. First will be the weapons… I might truly need it this time since I can't summon my clone during this war. In other words, I have to somehow defeat the World Class Monster without my clone.

"As for the second thing, you're going to prepare soldiers to fight. Tell them that I will lead this war personally. And they're free to join or not.

"Considering the volcano is in the opposite direction of our territory, I bet they're going to send the reinforcement.

"After preparing for those two, I need you to prepare for an event where I upgrade the people's skills. Cooperate with Maya about it. Also, I need to finish everything before the volcano erupts, which should be happening sooner or later. The prediction said it was within one to two months, so I had to raise the people's strength as much as possible.

"I'll also send a few names for you to create a special invitation for them.

"After that, you will work on our defense on that side. Although I'm confident that they won't be attacking us from behind, it's not one hundred percent. So, I want you to work with Felix and Ruth to protect the territory while I'm away.

"As for the people who I will bring this time… they are Jeff, Eleanor, Isaac, and Ergene. Tell them to come to the Star Group's headquarters since I'll be staying there for a while.

"Last but not least, I want you to follow the instructions in the letter that I'll send you later."

After taking note of all the requests, Rea closed the notebook and said, "Alright. I have noted everything. Anything else, Teacher?"

"No at the moment."

"Alright. I'll prepare everything for you as soon as possible. It's a shame that I can't follow you when you're personally leading the plan since I can learn a lot from you. But you must have your reason for not including me, so I shall assist you from afar while trying to figure out your thoughts."

"Yes. I'll leave everything to you, Rea." Theo hung up and disappeared from the area. No one knew where he went after that.

In fact, none of them was actually aware of Theo's movement since he never showed himself. And with the monsters' appearances disturbing the entire society, all their focus was set on the Vice President.

Of course, the Vice President didn't say anything about Theo's appearance since Theo seemed to be planning to free him soon. So, until that time, he had to endure everything.

The lawyers should be able to buy enough time for that. As someone as powerful as him, it wouldn't be that hard to fool a few layers to work for him.

Everything was for cooperation.

That was why the Vice President had a confident face when he entered the court.

The trial for the Vice President officially started.
