The Magician Of Sound

In the middle of the afternoon, Michelle was heading back to her mansion that didn't lose to Ayaka's. She had been on a mission for more than two months. Luckily, the plan had gone smoothly, so she finished the mission faster.

She had been dying to tell Kai she had finished her mission, but upon reaching her room, she saw that the communication device that she left in the house was filled with Kai's messages.

She wanted to feel joy as Kai took the initiative to contact her, but she knew he wasn't someone like that. Tension filled the air as she read the messages.

It turned out she was right. Her answer came in the form of multiple SOS messages. Kai had messaged her for money a few days ago, hoping someone would find this. Unfortunately, no one dared to come to her room, especially her servants.

A day later, he was practically asking her to send help to South Korea. The messages continued to North Korea and finally until it arrived in Alaska.

Kai told her he was at his wits' end and needed her help. He didn't care whatever happened to him after that as long as she sent help for his parents.

Sadly, because of the mission this time as they were fighting a special magical beast, she wasn't allowed to bring her communication device. And Kai was in danger because of this.

She immediately called him with her hands shaking.

"Kai, what happened?! Where are you? Are you okay?" She was screaming as soon as he picked up the call.

"Hello? Is this Michelle?"

Her body shook when she heard the woman's voice, and she recognized this voice. "Auntie? Where is Kai? Where are you? What happened to all of you? I… am sorry."

"Kai and I are near Uelen, Russia. The whole family is here together with one other family." She said. "Kai is recovering his magic at the moment as he needs it to teleport us."

"What happened to all of you?"

"The situation is too complicated to explain at the moment. If I need to describe it in one sentence, a huge storm is brewing in United Asia, and our family is the center of that storm."

"You then escaped from that situation but are stranded in Russia?"

"Yes. That's basically it. We're in a shelter but are surrounded by magical beasts. We don't know how long we can hold out in this situation. If only I could fight," she said, biting her lips.

"Auntie, everything's going to be fine. I'll immediately send our people to pick you up. Just activate your tracker, and we'll go get you before you know it."

It was then that she heard, "Our situation is not good, we're going to move right now. Wait! You've woken up?"

This voice wasn't familiar to her ears, but she heard Kai say, "All right, we're going to teleport there now."

Kai then took his communication device from his mother.

"We're going to buy time in Uelen. A few hours at best, but anything past that, we can only head to Alaska. Even so, we might be surrounded by magical beasts when we get there. If I need… No, I just want to say, I miss you," Kai said as he hung up the call. He activated the tracker.

"Hello? Kai? Kai?" She shouted continuously to the call that had been hung up. When she heard him say "I miss you," she didn't feel a trace of happiness. In fact, she was devastated. Kai had given up on his situation and was completely relying on luck. She bit her lips as she almost crushed her communication device to pieces.

She immediately came out of the room and ran toward her father's room while carrying the device. This might be the biggest trouble that her family had. Although she had yet to get past the childhood friend step, both of their families already considered them a thing.

The entire Graham family already recognized Kai, and no one could shake that position.

They had no problem with him except for his background, but the Graham family didn't need any background whatsoever. As for his power, his magic power alone already surpassed S-rank magicians', let alone his unorthodox sound magic and extraordinary hearing. There was another consideration upon his ability, but all in all, Kai was already considered as the son-in-law of this family.

Bang!

A middle-aged guy was dealing with paperwork. He had blonde hair and blue crystal eyes like Michelle. His heart skipped a bit when Michelle slammed the door and rushed in.

"Michelle? You've finished your mission?" His shock turned into joy.

Sadly, it changed again into confusion as he heard Michelle say, "If you want your son-in-law alive, then we need to gather all our forces and go to Russia right now!"

"What son-in-law? Have you found another love besides Kai? But your dad is satisfied with Kai, you know…" The middle-aged guy was Michelle's father, Michael Graham.

"And do you think your daughter can fall in love with another person beside him?!" She gritted her teeth. "If you're not going to order our forces right now, he's going to die!"

"Wha-! He's going to die? Are you joking, my daughter? I can't take this joke."

"He is in Russia near Uelen and is currently besieged by magical beasts from all directions. There are a ton of reasons that could be explained later, but if you don't want him to die, then hurry up and order our people!" she shouted in distress. "Tasha has already unsealed his power and planted her space magic in his body. Do you understand now, Father?"

"!!!"

Michael was taken aback. If this weren't a prank, then it would be bad. He hadn't heard anything about United Asia advancing their skirmish to Russia and neither did their US Base, so Kai must be coming or fleeing to that place with a small group.

He sweatdropped as he immediately took out his communication device. "Immediately send words to all our people in Canada. They shall immediately head to Russia and save the Carter family. Make them go first, and I'll give you the coordinates later."

He ordered his most trusted aide as he looked at Michelle. "I need your communication device for his position. He activated the tracker, right?"

Michelle nodded and threw her device to her father.

He checked the coordinates first before nodding his head. He then looked at Michelle. "Tell your mother to replace me in today's meeting. After that, meet me in our tower as we'll fly there now."

Michelle nodded and left. She had yet to understand Kai's whole situation, but she knew he was in danger, and it was enough for her.

Because his father even made this order as an emergency that would shake the entire family, the preparations were completed in just an hour.

Their family was far bigger than Ayaka's family, and they even had two private fighting jets. The bullet and missiles were already reinforced by magic, so they should be enough to kill magical beasts. It was just that they weren't very cost-effective. If not, they would have already overturned the magical beasts.

Michael and Michelle arrived at the military base and immediately went to the commander of the army.

"Michael, you can't do this to me. Why have all of your people started making all of these preparations?" the commander shouted, leaving his assistant trembling on the side. The commander was a middle-aged man that seemed to have a certain relationship with Michael as even though he was shouting to him, there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. Meanwhile, his assistant was a woman, and she seemed a bit new here as her eyes were still a bit innocent.

"My son-in-law is in a perilous situation. I just want to tell you, if he died out there, I would have all my people leave this operation."

"Michael, are you planning to challenge the army?"

"Nope. If you're going to leave someone with a bigger potential than my daughter dying out there, then screw the army. I'm coming here just to inform you, although I'm not planning to challenge the army, I don't mind. Even my father will surely go all-out with the entire government about this." He snorted.

"What? Your rumored son-in-law is just a D-rank sound magician." The commander shouted.

"If you think about him as a mere D-rank magician, then I only have one word for you. Since you're already a commander as well as my war buddy before, I shall teach you one thing. Here, you might not know about the name of Kai Carter, but I'm sure you've heard the name of Leo," Michael said.

"!!!" The commander's body shook when he heard such an unbelievable thing. He stood up and slammed the table, "Michael-!"

Michael simply waved his hands as he walked out of the room. "That's all to it, and I'm sure you already know the importance of this. Well then, excuse me, I need to rescue my son-in-law."

Several helicopters then started flying, confusing many other people. They wanted to move a few tanks, but it needed to cross the sea, and it was practically impossible to move them in a few hours.

The commander's assistant couldn't help but ask, "Commander, who is this Leo?"

"Forget about it. That is an order," the commander said with a cold tone as he fell to his seat. "Have the soldiers fortify our current defense. We're not going to continue our invasion for two days."

"Yes!" The assistant immediately left the office.

"Sigh… Luckily, we've been progressing smoothly. The higher-ups shouldn't push this matter to us."
