Chapter 141

Lucky 141

"What do you mean?"

Andreas raised his chin, his expression was cold as ice. 

"Mister Romoel, I know that you favor Scarlett. I bet that Calix already talked about his power and as a Lieutenant of the Army-- ah, forgive my silliness, as the newest General of our country, I know that you understand how powerful Calix's Term Attribute. It's impossible for him to have a proper life."

Kimberly hated to admit it but she was not stupid to deny the fact that Calix would meet a lot of women. But she was still eager to take the first place. Women like competition, and winning means a lot.

Andreas was quite surprised that Kimberly knew about the news that he would be appointed as a General. However, his expression didn't change much even though Kimberly spoke about Calix's Term Attribute.

"So I want to suggest this, I'll marry Calix. I can protect Calix if you give me a chance."

Kimberly said. Her voice didn't have any ounce of hesitation.

"I know about you, you're Mark Cudgel's daughter… And it seemed like you inherited some of his traits."

Andreas was not close to Mark Cudgel. Although they met a few times, because CEO Mark wanted to bribe Andreas but Andreas didn't give in. 

'But now that I'm going to become a General, it seems that Mark plans to have a connection to me and my family.'

He was wondering if Kimberly was sent to do that. However, Andreas could see that Kimberly was sincere about protecting Calix. She was in love. 

"I want this to be clear." Andreas coughed clearing his throat and Kimberly's ears were all open. 

"I'm not Calix. It depends on my son if he will listen to you. In the first place, the only reason why I prefer Scarlett is because of the fact that I know her longer than you. I know Scarlett's temperament, but you, I don't know you. We are strangers."

"That's why--"

"Let me finish my talking. You said that you want to have an equal standing against Scarlett, well I don't know about that. That's an imaginary thing to say. I know that you have the brain, money, and power to protect my son. However, it doesn't matter."

"…"

"Because we both know that Calix…"

Andreas stopped talking. He knew that he should not be the one to say it but Calix. 

'I know that our lineage has a strong tendency to seduce women, but I didn't expect that it would be a Fuel.'

If Calix's flirting life was not connected to his Term Attribute, then Andreas won't hesitate to stop him. However, it was connected. Forcing Calix to stop would give him misfortunes. 

Andreas looked at Kimberly. He admired that Kimberly was not nervous. She had the right behavior and she was indeed smart. 

He sighed. 

"I'll give you one thing. I don't support anyone, not even Scarlett."

"But I thought that…"

"No, I don't support Scarlett too. To be honest, Scarlett's circumstances are quite chaotic. Her father is a stoic brutal man while her mother was… Anyway, if you want to take Calix, go on. I don't have the last say to that. But you have to make sure that he will be happy."

"I will stake my life and promise to you that I will make him happy."

Andreas nodded.

'Why is the idea of the first wife really that important? I only have one girl in my life so I can't relate.'

Kimberly was asking for permission… She was asking for war, a romantic war. Now that she confirmed that Andreas won't interfere and block her love for Calix, she sighed in relief. 

One of the hardest parts of marriage was the parents, usually, it was the parents who disagree with the marriage because they prioritize what's better for their child. Kimberly wanted to prove that she is the better choice for Calix. It was fortunate that Andreas left everything to Calix and respect his decision. 

'Now my plan of having a vacation with Calix will not be hindered…'

Kimberly was happy. She wanted to use the vacation as a chance to increase their intimacy and completely steal his heart. Kimberly had a way to make Calix agree.

However, in the middle of their conversation, shocking news erupted and both Andreas and Kimberly became anxious. 

Apparently, a Flying Ship was hijacked and it was currently moving to the Capitolium, the terrorists' intention was unknown. Based on the Ship's speed, it would reach the Capitolium in 74 hours.

The government was trying its best to negotiate with the terrorists.

...…

...

…

Leon put the passengers into three different places so that they could be handled well. 

Leon wanted to use them as hostages. 

This whole scenario was actually a diversion. Because the real threat was not in the Flying Ship.

His lover was already in the Capitolium. 

Leon and his group would act like they were going to have a negotiation with the government to release the hostages. Now that the hijacking was announced all over the country, the government didn't have a choice but to quell the citizens. 

They have to prioritize the safety of the passengers. While the negotiation was ongoing, Leon's lover would… 

...…

...

…

Yuna learned one thing, or rather, she awakened one thing. While she was with the hostages, she started thinking about the best plan to find Calix but something acted up inside her body.

"Kuck."

People were tied and their voices were muffled. On top of that, the masked terrorists were guarding them with their energy guns. They were ready to kill the passengers if they tried to do something wrong. 

Some were holding their tears because they didn't want to die. Almost half of their numbers were eliminated because they tried to fight back. Nobody wanted to fight them again and lose their lives. 

"…Ugh."

Yuna had to find a way to escape this place, but her power only worked if she used her vision. This means that in this room where no windows around, her Term Attribute was shackled. She could never teleport outside. 

"... Guh!"

However, while in the middle of contemplating, Yuna felt like her chest was aching. A burning sensation was rising inside her. 

She started trembling. Yet she knew that once she made something wrong, the terrorists won't hesitate to kill her. 

So she lay on the floor and closed her eyes instead. 

She felt like her body was undergoing an evolution. Energy circulated inside her, destroying and fixing her body. She slightly coughed blood. 

She did her best to act normal so that she won't get shot. 

Yuna was going to break through, to reach 2nd Advanced.
