The Magician of Sound

Luckily, the following month passed without any accident. After finishing a mission to kill a pack of magical beasts, the group was finally freed from their duty.

Kai slowly opened his eyes as he sat comfortably in a passenger seat to Miami. He glanced to his left and found Michelle sitting next to him, looking at the window. Tasha and Ayaka were sitting in front of him while reading some fashion magazines. Meanwhile, Evan and Isabelle were sitting behind him and looked very annoyed as they looked away from each other. All of this was arranged by a few people.

He closed his eyes and recalled the scene from two days earlier.

…

It was a peaceful day before Nathan suddenly stormed inside their room. He was quite hyped for this as he shouted happily as soon as he entered.

"Yo, you little brats!" Nathan laughed before taking out five documents to them. "All of these are the documents for your one-week trip to Miami. You can do anything you want there since you are going without a guide."

Kai glanced at the documents and nodded before focusing back on his research. Meanwhile, Michelle was the one handling all of this and said. "Grandfather, what are you going to do after this? You are not planning to stalk us in Miami, right?"

"Of course not! I'm not going anywhere." He shrugged.

"May I know the reason why everything seems to have been arranged?" Evan picked up a document and read it. "First of all, sitting positions."

"That's not my work. It's your father and her father. Anyway, I only arranged for the holiday. If you have some objections, you can go to your father. Most of your arrangements came from him," said Nathan nonchalantly.

Evan twitched his eyebrows while clenching his hands.

"I approve of their actions. I will also do the same to my granddaughter if she doesn't get along with my grandson-in-law. Haha…"

"This is why I hate you, Grandfather!" Michelle snorted and looked away.

"Oi! You can't hate me because of this. Do you know that I had once locked your Father and Mother in a single room for a month? I forbade them from using magic and other things other than the tools in the room. If they didn't want to get together after that, I would certainly let them choose their way.

"However, do you know what the result was?" Nathan smirked slyly. "They moved in harmony, and the result was satisfying… And not long after that, they married and had you. Hmph, you should praise this grandfather! Well, I used a trick in that room, though. By giving them furniture for a single person, they needed to share all of them together, from bed, spoon, plates, everything! I wanted to do it for both of you, but I didn't because you two were already together back then. Hahaha."

Hearing his laughter made Michelle more annoyed as she glared at this shameless old man. "I will accept all the documents for now, so Grandfather should go back."

"Fine." Nathan agreed as he had completed his objective. Before leaving, he looked at Kai with a serious expression. "Truthfully, I just want you to enjoy a nice vacation because I have been pushing you to the limit recently. Rest well in Miami and come back. I choose this date because I want you to take a breather before dealing with that little Gemini from EU Base."

Kai looked at Nathan in astonishment before smiling. "Thank you for your concern, Sir Nathan."

"Haha… This old man is very considerate, right? How about giving me a souvenir later? I want a baby as a souvenir."

"I need to refuse." Kai twitched his eyebrows as he took back all of his feelings from earlier. "We need to take into account that we are still in High School. I know that many High Schoolers have kids already as they take a break when they are pregnant. However, I need the medicine and an observer to make sure that the animal gene doesn't get activated in those nine months. And don't treat your great-grandchild as an item."

"You are too responsible. I was clearly joking just now, so you didn't need to take it seriously." Nathan shrugged before noticing Evan's expression turned grim.

"Anyway, I have been telling you over and over again, so I am starting to get bored with talking about my plan. Please don't ask again." Kai sighed as he remembered that he had told about this a few times already.

"Fine." Nathan sighed, turned around, and started walking. "Anyway, I will leave first."

Kai looked at Nathan's back for a moment as if he was pondering something.

…

Back to the present, Kai couldn't help but worry about his next job. Although he had some countermeasures ready, he still needed to watch out for this Sofia.

Having nothing to do, he decided to close his eyes and sleep while waiting for the plane to arrive. After another half an hour, he went out of the plane and headed to the airport gate before finding a butler standing in front of the gate. He looked like a normal hotel staff with his uniform.

"I have been waiting for you, Sir Kai Carter and friends. I am honored to serve the young hero of the US Base. I am Marcus, and I will be responsible for bringing you to the hotel." He bowed politely.

Kai nodded with a smile. "We will be counting on you."

"With pleasure." Marcus nodded before looking at their luggage. He quickly opened the car trunk along with the door for them. "Please come in first, I shall put your luggage in the car."

Kai glanced at Michelle and nodded. All of them went inside the limousine and relaxed for a bit.

"By the way, who is going to pair up with who for the rooms? As expected, it's going to be by gender, huh…" Isabelle asked Kai, who seemed to know everything.

Kai shook his head, took out a paper from his pocket, and gave it to Isabelle. On the other hand, Isabelle opened the paper before her confusion turned into rage. She destroyed the paper and gritted her teeth. "Those two old foxes!"

Kai chuckled as he remembered that there was a last message telling if she didn't comply, they would make them live together after this.

Suddenly, he felt something wrong as he furrowed his eyebrows without anyone noticing.

In the front seat, the driver or the hotel staff was driving like normal. There was nothing extraordinary about his appearance, but he suddenly smiled evilly even though he couldn't hear nor see what Kai and the others were doing.

When they arrived, Kai came out of the car last before staring at the staff.

"Please come in." He put the luggage in the golden trolley and said to Kai. "I will guide you to the receptionists, and they will take over."

Kai nodded as he kept staring at the hotel staff.

After finishing the process, they were guided according to their room, and Kai got a four-person room, sharing it with Michelle, Ayaka, and Tasha. This was a usual VVIP family suite on the top floor, so it looked very comfortable. Outside the window was a nice view of the entire hotel and sea. Meanwhile, Evan and Isabelle also slept together while the other four were separated into two rooms by gender.

Suddenly, Kai instructed them. "Can you check your luggage first and tell me if there is something wrong?"

"What do you mean?" Michelle furrowed her eyebrows.

"Just check them first." Kai refused to say the reason and immediately checked his luggage carefully.

Seeing him doing it, they started checking their luggage but didn't find anything.

Kai looked at them shaking their heads and let out a sigh. "Maybe I'm a little paranoid about this."

"What do you mean?"

"I just heard that the hotel staff that drove us earlier had his heart skip a beat as if he was excited over something. From the first time we met, his heart was so calm like he wasn't surprised meeting me, and that sudden skip made me alarmed. It's fine if it's only my feeling."

Michelle stared at his expression for a while before saying, "Alright then. Maybe you are tired, so let's use this chance to reset your tired mind."

"That's right. We can enjoy ourselves for a week. Sadly, it's soon night, so we can only enjoy the sea tomorrow." Ayaka added. Meanwhile, Tasha didn't say anything and simply narrowed her eyes, unlike her usual personality.

…

At the same time, in EU Base, specifically in Vienna Airport, where Campbell was situated. A beautiful young lady wearing sunglasses was carrying her luggage as she waited for the plane. She didn't come alone. There was another lady following her around.

"Are you sure this is alright, milady?" She asked while letting out a big sigh as she fixed her long brown hair.

"It's fine! There is nothing wrong with this and just relax."

"Still, if the family knows about this, you… No, I will get into trouble." She shook her head furiously.

"It's fine. I have left a message at home, so you don't need to worry about it. Besides, the real representative dealing with the negotiation itself will only come a few days later. We can simply regroup with him."

"Is that so? I will trust the young lady then." She sighed.

"Sure. I just got the information that this person is going toward Miami, so why don't we have a nice stay first before dealing with that stiff negotiation? Besides, you are going to be the next Zodiac, so you should be prepared."

"There are still a few others. Due to the danger level of this, potentially there is only one of us that will stay alive and become a Zodiac."

"Then, I choose you! You have been with me for many years, so of course, you need to succeed! I have even told you all my experiences, so you can prepare yourself." She shrugged.

"I know!"

"Then, let's go. We can board now!"
