Chapter 34 Sudden escalation!
It can only mean collusion with the calamity class monsters.
At that moment, the other captain's holograms disappeared then reappeared a few minutes later.
The look in their eyes was no longer casual, but was now filled with determination, the determination to bring this family in no matter what.
The moment the other captains holograms dispersed, Emma replied to the ridiculous clam the X captain just made.
''Collusion, just what nonsense are you talking about captain?''
The captain however was having none of it, sometimes a nice and patient person when their button has been touched will become the direct opposite.
With a snort the captain said.
''The time the ground rumbled, a calamity class beast attacked country X, decimating it's capital, leading millions to die, the source of the shockwave was your house!'' The more the captain spoke, the angrier and angrier he became, until his voice became hoarse.
Clearly, the captain's mental state was deteriorating.
Any well known person good at leader ship, would know straight away that such a person isn't fit for such a position of power, no matter what, a leader should always be calm and collected.
But such a thing is not what the leader of the X country wanted, he specifically chose people that have lost everything, but are still good at what they do, and then he made them dependent on the country to continue existing, unfortunately with such a path, although loyalty is guaranteed, fanaticism is built up, leading to times like these when they inevitably breaking orders.
Emma was shocked at the captain's words, her pupils trembled, then she remembered the words of Eleonor.
'Energy entering the world is good for it but bad for the ones living on it.'
As the thought crossed her mind, she couldn't help but glance backwards towards Eleonor.
The captain saw this and grew angrier, he wanted to pin the blame on someone, he wanted to blame the people in front of him whole heartedly, however, in the deep recesses of his heart, he still wished for this family to be safe, so with that in mind he decided to direct most of his anger towards this unknown person.
A person that entered the Nuit family house, despite all the surveillance around it, something that should be impossible granting the advanced technology they possess.
''You dare to deny the source of rumbling didn't emanate from here?'' The captain said, as he looked at Eleonor this time.
Kaile spotting this became more restless, bright red flames spewed out of his nostrils as he stepped forwards putting his arms outwards in a protective posture, trying to block the line of sight between the captain and his family.
At that moment, a series of things happened at once.
Salia activated the little military shuttle and it began to take off.
The captains reappeared after been given information by their superiors about the happening in country X.
And finally the captain, seeing the bright red tendrils coming out of Kaile's nostrils, had a flash back to the images his leader showed him, how the fire burned the bodies of his beloved citizens, and that's all it took.
Like a person suffering from PTSD, he made a snap order, as he raised his right hand into the air.
''Ready the anti person laser battery.''
Sounds of confirmation could be heard, typically no sound from the crew members on board a ship would be heard when the captain is projecting himself outwards, but in this situation, he wants the Nuit family to understand his seriousness, he wants them to understand his determination, as well as the other captains that just rematerialised and naturally heard his voice.
They also got reports from their officers, that the X countries carrier energy signature has spiked drastically, signally weapons have been activated, and ready to be fired at any time.
''Stand down captain, we are to bring them in, not kill them.'' one captain spoke out calmly, followed by the other captain as they tried to calm him down.
The butlers on board the respective ships, reported the happenings back to their respective masters.
When the leader of the X country heard the news, he became flustered.
All the other world leaders just looked at him, their looks of mockery and superiority were evident at a glance.
Only the dune family, and the Daralis family from Tenryn country remained neutral, not showing much expression.
The Dune family masters thoughts at the moment were a bit complicated, naturally he knows the consequence lest something happens to Kaile and his family, however, the thought of such a concept as his daughter leaving the nest enrages him.
As a dad-con, how could he allow others to put their grubby hands on his daughter? Nobody in the world, even him, is worthy of such a thing.
In his mind, his daughter is and will only be heading towards perfection, anything else will just taint her magnificence, so with that thought in mind his eyes that wavered before became determined.
He remained silent.
Little does he know, not talking now, would result in an action he regrets in the future, especially since a rift will be created.
As the Neural county leader, if anyone has the ability to make the captain stand down it would be him, with just a few clever words here and there, he could make it so that everyone points their weapons on the X countries carrier, therefore de-escalating the situation.
As for the Daralis matriarch, she simply doesn't care, in fact she even ordered her butler to tell the captain aboard to stand down completely and just watch the show.
Even though she doesn't care about the situation, her country is in a delicate balance currently. If she pushes too hard, her Tenryn country might just become the next Tang, something she can't afford at the moment.
It's better to gain a deeper understanding of this Genis energy then to play world leader and be left behind.
These are her current thoughts.
A small red light shone underneath the X carrier, this made Kaile become scared, the terror he's feeling at this moment can only be felt by him, even as he fell off the roof top that day, it couldn't compare to what he is feeling right now.
