"Hmm, what a daring boy."
Touching his long beard, Okina frowned as he observed everyone in the hall, including his granddaughter.
Who was now dancing with a very bold boy.
After all, from his perspective, he watched as the boy touched his granddaughter's body here and there.
And, of course, he didn't like that. However, he was also surprised because, no matter how handsome and elegant the young man was, if he crossed the line, Arisa would give them a lesson. This had happened before, and Okina was very satisfied with his granddaughter for it.
But now, not only did his granddaughter not pull away from the boy, but she even showed signs of blushing on her cheeks. Regardless of the liberties the boy took with her body, this made Okina raise an eyebrow and wonder what kind of ability the boy had to seduce his granddaughter. At the same time, he wondered how much courage the little brat had to seduce his granddaughter in front of him.
Despite all this, Okina didn't intervene with his granddaughter; he just watched, wondering where the boy came from and what his identity was. He didn't remember inviting someone like him.
*Click, click.
While watching all this, several of his bodyguards, however, pulled out their weapons, aiming at the intruder in front of them.
"Stop, or we'll shoot!"
Hearing this, Okina frowned and looked forward, recognizing the young man in the white tuxedo standing with a tray of wine.
"Gai Tsutsugami, I was expecting you."
Raising a hand, his bodyguards looked at him for a moment before lowering their weapons.
"I am honored, Mr. Okina."
Nodding, Gai approached fearlessly, taking a seat near Okina.
"I'm glad you came. I hope you don't mind that I didn't send you an invitation."
"Not at all, Mr. Okina. It's normal for us not to be invited. I hope you don't mind me entering your party without an invitation either."
"Hahaha, not at all. I trusted you would come anyway."
Laughing loudly, Okina looked at Gai. As Yuki had said, this party was too much of a coincidence.
Okina hadn't shown himself to the public, and now, out of nowhere, he threw a party?
This was very strange!
But it was understandable. With the threat of the Leukocyte eliminated, Okina had nothing to fear from GHQ. So, he made this party specifically to invite Undertaker, the ones responsible for destroying the Leukocyte.
Rather, he made this party hoping to meet that famous little figure.
'The Reaper.'
This was his goal, so just seeing Gai made him a bit disappointed, but nothing outside his expectations. As for why he didn't send an invitation to Undertaker, it was a small test to see if Undertaker had what it took to sneak into this party, outside the quarantine waters, with his bodyguards guarding the ship up and down.
But now, seeing Gai, he knew Undertaker had what it took.
"Well then? What brings you here?"
Although Okina knew why Gai was in this place, he still asked out of courtesy.
Gai just smiled, pulling out a small device from his pocket.
"I would like you to see this first."
"Oh?"
Of course, Okina didn't refuse; he was very curious about the content.
So, snapping his fingers, one of his bodyguards took the device and checked the content before passing it to Okina.
Okina was surprised; the content of the device contained a video about Yuki and the Voids, as well as how they destroyed the Leukocytes.
All were classified proofs and videos that only he could see. Okina was, of course, satisfied with this.
"I'm impressed... Who would have thought that these old bones would have the fortune to witness the first Superhuman like this."
Shaking his head, Okina lamented a bit. After all, if he were 10 or 20 years younger, he was sure he would be happy to fight alongside such a human marvel.
"Don't be so sad, Mr. Okina. There are many things only you can do."
"I guess you're right, hahaha."
Hearing Gai's humble response made Okina smile.
"So, is the purpose of your visit to seek sponsorship?"
"That is my goal tonight, Mr. Okina."
Not denying it, Gai sighed. He had to make sure to get the support of this old man.
"After all, we have very few supplies to continue our fight with GHQ."
"I understand. It's very challenging..."
Nodding, Okina agreed with Gai. Fighting GHQ was not easy, especially for a terrorist group like Undertaker.
"However, it's a shame that I don't have the honor of meeting His Excellency."
Sighing with disappointment, Okina glanced at Gai, hoping he understood the hint.
Gai, of course, understood. This old man wanted to meet the famous 'Reaper,' to see with his own eyes the being capable of destroying an entire battalion and even destroying the Leukocyte.
"That can be arranged, Mr. Okina. After all, the 'Reaper' is dancing with your granddaughter right now."
"Eh?"
Smiling with amusement, Gai pointed his finger at a certain couple.
Okina opened his eyes wide for this; unlike Gai, whose face was well known as the leader of Undertaker, the 'Reaper,' on the other hand, always kept his mask. The only thing they could use to recognize him was his monstrous strength, his small figure, and his special eyes.
This was the mark of the 'Reaper.'
However, now, Yuki was dancing like a normal person, with no trace of being that monster.
Seeing this, Okina made him get up from his seat; now he understood why this boy had so much courage to flirt with his granddaughter in front of him. It turns out he wasn't afraid because he was the most dangerous human on this ship.
Thinking about this, Okina sweated a bit; his granddaughter dancing with the 'Reaper' was not a good feeling. However, soon he calmed down, thinking about the 'Reaper's' abilities. If he wanted to kill everyone, it's very likely that he would have already done it.
"I see, so the rumors that he's still a child are true... How old is he?"
Returning to his seat, Okina stared fixedly at Gai.
"12 years old."
Hearing this, Okina felt his whole body tremble; the 'Reaper' was very young, just as his appearance was still childlike.
Thinking about this, Okina knew that Gai was very lucky, to have such a powerful human in his service, and still young.
Shaking his head, Okina looked at Yuki, who was dancing with his granddaughter. Yuki was very young, and therefore, also very innocent and naive. Okina didn't know what tricks Gai used to control Yuki, but seeing the couple on the dance floor, an idea flashed in his mind.
"I'll accept your terms, but with one condition."
"And what is that condition?"
Nodding, Gai expected this; with Yuki making a move with his granddaughter, everything was easier.
However, he still heard the condition.
"I want His Excellency down there to marry my granddaughter in the future."
"What?"
