Chapter 8 - Departure

"I find it strange that this weapon resembles the one I used," Midas said. In his hand, Midas held a black mace that looked like the golden one he used to kill the monster. "I wonder if it's connected to my power, or if there's some other explanation," Midas thought as he stood up.

[Knock Knock]

A knock came from the hotel door. Midas asked 'Who is it?'. As the door knock stopped 'It's me, sir Joel'. Hearing it Midas said 'Come on in Door's open.'

"Sir, I have some crucial information to share regarding John Paul," Joel declared authoritatively as he strode into the room. " go ahead," Midas replied, sensing Joel's urgency. "We must take immediate action based on John Paul's warning. He has made it clear that we need to provide 10 kilograms of gold within the next six months, and has also cautioned us against entering into any deals with rival organizations," Joel stated firmly. "It is imperative that we follow through on this information to avoid any potential consequences."

Rage was seen in Midas's face 'Who the fu*k he thinks he is talking about.' Midas said angrily. 'he doesn't hold the power to go against me...so don't worry.' said Midas as he sighed and Indicated Joel to leave.

15 days later,

Joel and Midas were traveling to the airport in a black car. Joel looked at Midas and asked, "Why Japan?" Midas was gazing out the window and replied, "Yakuza... Once I can get a hold of them, we can proceed to Part 2 of my plan." Joel was intrigued and asked, "What's Part 2, Sir?" Midas turned his head towards Joel and asked their driver, Dillon, "How long until we reach the airport?" Dillon replied, "Still an hour, Sir."

'I guess I will tell you then Joel.' said Midas as he smiled.

Joel was taken aback by what he heard from Midas, which made him question everything about him. However, he wasn't confused but rather surprised at how far Midas had thought. When Midas was done sharing his plan with Joel, he started laughing. Joel couldn't help but wonder, "How can a young man in his 20s come up with something like this?" Midas then explained, "You see Joel, there are still many loopholes in this plan, but I will fill them soon."

30 minutes later, Airport

Taking his bags out of the trunk, Midas said his final goodbyes for the time being. 'Just for a few months handle till then. Said Midas as he left. Joel and Dillon nodded their heads.

Minutes later,

Inside the Plane,

As Midas sat in first class, he gazed outside the window while the plane took off. He had a lot on his mind, "I need to gain power over Japan in the next few months," he thought. Looking at his reflection, he realized that his body had grown quite a bit. "Joel thinks I'm an adult now, but I'm still just a 12-year-old," he chuckled, knowing that his growth spurt was likely related to his powers. "I shouldn't overthink it though, I need to focus on what's ahead," Midas reminded himself.

Though Neither the world nor Midas knew that the true Story hadn't even started yet.
