Chapter 360 Come In Peace!
"Speaking of the devil, he's finally here," John said as Damien stepped out of a spatial rift, followed by the captain of the Spartan Legion Unit. The captain greeted John and Nicole with an official salute, knelt before Damien, and said, "Welcome home, Young Master."
Bull and Kyle, who were already present, repeated the captain's words and didn't give a single bow to John and Nicole, unlike before ?Damien.
"Ignore my ignorance, but who are you, people?" Damien asked, looking around. Nicole hugged him tightly and introduced everyone in the room. She told him that the old man was his grandfather, John, and that the bandage man was the captain of the Spartan Legion Unit. She also introduced Kyne and Bull to him as the old comrades of his father.
Damien discussed Kimura Onsen's whereabouts with the three elite members of the Spartan Legion Unit. After learning she was being held captive in the Third District's prison, the three excused themselves and jumped into the spatial rift, which then disappeared. Damien was left alone with John and Nicole.
"Don't be shy, dear. Make yourself at home," Nicole said with a warm smile.
"Thanks," Damien replied, feeling awkward as he was not prepared for this situation of meeting his close family members for the first time. However, Nicole's friendly demeanor made him feel at ease as she offered him a cup of tea.
As they chatted, Damien experienced a sense of nostalgia, finding the warmth of their conversation too nice.
"So, tell me about your childhood," Nicole said, trying to break down the wall between them. "How did you grow up?" 𝚋ｅｄｎ𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃｏ𝚖
They talked about Damien's childhood and how he grew up, with Nicole trying to break down the barrier between them. Although Damien was wary about sharing too much information about himself, John kept a proud smile on his face as he observed Damien, only asking questions about his uncle Jeremy, Miabella, and their twin sons.
After an hour, John and Nicole left, and Damien found peace in the night's tranquility. He marveled at the advanced city as he viewed the nightscape through the glass wall. After meditating and practicing his Lightning Canon Technique, the night passed quickly.
The next morning, after a hearty breakfast, Damien stepped out of the building and was met with the sound of advanced aircraft. A green flying automobile came to his beck and call, and the driver welcomed him.
"Good day, sir. Where to?" the Driver greeted warmly.
"Third Xander Gon's Office," Damien replied as he took his seat in the back.
"That, um, that, sorry I can't bring you there if you don't receive a prior invite." the Driver hesitated.
"I just came out of that building," Damien further added, pointing at the nearby Bradford Palace Tower. "Just go. And if they blocked our path, then flash them my picture."
The confidence in his commanding tone convinced the Driver. So he heated the engine as the sleek, flying vessel took airborne. "As you wish," he said.
During the journey, witnessing the city's intensely dense air traffic, 'First, I'll bring the City people under my band. And then, perhaps, I'll present my latest Air Traffic Software design as a sign of my goodwill.' he thought.
Five minutes later, they entered District No. 3's airspace and a red-flagged tag, noticing to return.
"They are warning us to return, sir." asked the Driver for his opinion.
"Just show them my picture and they will let us in," responded Damien lazily. "And also send an encrypted message about me coming to give Third Xander Gon a visit."
Clicking on the virtual set of buttons in front of him, a beam of light flashed out, showing Damien's 3d image in the air.
About twenty-something AI-pods whizzed toward the flight, stopping in the air and then they copied the gigantic image in the air.
After a few seconds, in a female mechanical voice, the AI pods tuned: "Access granted!"
Feeling amazed, the Driver reset its course to Third Xander Gon's office and continued their journey.
Six minutes later, a fleet of warships came from all directions and continued following it from a certain distance.
The Driver was well-aware of them. However, he approached it positively thinking his passenger was so important that a fleet of military-grade warships was here to escort him. If he knew about their clear intention, he would have lost consciousness because of the threat he had put himself into. Unknowingly, they finally reached their destination. There was a large flag with a drawing of a set of roses on top of a Red Shinigami Mask of the Munchi clan. And there was also No.3 written in Roman numerals; meaning District No.3.
Disembarking from the aircraft, Damien looked around as several troops wearing red shinigami masks approached him in three lines. "Oh, I have become this famous already," he whispered.
"Sure thing." Cynthia's melodious voice chimed in his head. "After that stunning entry, who won't know of our famous Lord Damien."
"Fair enough!" Damien uttered. Then he walked toward the entrance of the main building.
As his arrival had been announced prior, none of the guards blocked his path.
Lucrécia Munchi, the Third Xander Gon was already there. With her hand gesture, everyone briskly disappeared from the scene. "Are you here to willingly receive your punishment?" she asked.
"Nah, I've two reasons for coming here." Damien continued. "First, to get Miss Kimura Onsen out of the cell. And second, to meet you." Then he gave a jovial smile.
"Preposterous!" Screaming, Lucrécia dashed toward him. However, before she even had the chance to retaliate, Damien activated his lightning steps. He reappeared with the shinigami mask in his hand. "Why did you keep such a lovely face behind this ugly mask? Alright, do me a favor."
"Y-you have a lot of gall to put it like that." Lucrécia was overwhelmed by his boldness. She punched without holding anything back. "Die, you shameless pig!"
However, Damien was way stronger than her as she was currently at around energy level 357. So he easily caught her fist quite quickly. Lucrécia responded with another punch which Damien caught with his other hand. "Just calm down. I came here in peace," he said in his gentlest tone…
(Please, stay tuned!)
