Chapter 80: Force of Change 5
Chapter 80: Force of Change 5
Princess has something to tell us, the reason why 5 of you are here is because I trust you guys will not tell anyone about what Princess said to us in this room. If there is anyone who found it hard to keep your mouth shut, you are allowed to leave this place.
After Naomi sat on her chair, Chi stood up and shouted while holding her holo phone in her left hand. She scanned the room and saw that no one raised their voice and she consider them agreeing to keep quiet about anything that was said in this room. But, to make sure about it, Chi added a threat.
If by chance someone beside us knew the content of this meeting, I will personally deal with you, understood? Chi scanned the room once again and saw everyone who was attending the meeting nodded their head, understood what Chi had said. Satisfied with their answer, Chi nodded her head and sat back on her chair.
Everyone in the room means everyone besides Naomi. Wait, Chi. What are you talking about? Dont dispose of our members that easily!! thought Naomi.
Naomi turned her head to look at Chi and saw her looking at her and said.
Princess, you can begin. Everyone in this room is trustworthy.
Naomi nodded without saying anything and scanned the room to look at the members present in the meeting room.
She recognize 2 men in the room, she had a clear memory of the blond-haired man because he introduced himself in a drastic way in the flying base. For the other man, she recognized him as the man who dared to fight Mischa on the bridge. Not really fighting but he has the guts to try to fight Mischa, she thought that she will have a good relationship with the man.
For the girl wearing black sunglasses, Naomi recognized her as a woman who was on the roof of the building when she flew above the bridge. There is a long suitcase where she put her rifle leaned against the table on her right. When Naomi looked at her, she smiled and nodded her head in understanding.
For a pair of boy and girl on the other side of the table, Naomi didnt recognize them. But if Chi allowed them to attend this meeting, they must be managed to gain her trust to some degree. Not only that, they mustve had the skill to back that trust.
Naomi looked at her left and saw Hyun-Woo who had a stupid smile plastered on his face. For some reason, looking at Hyun-Woo's stupid smile put Naomi in ease.
I dont have to be afraid to fail at my speech. After all, I will let Hyun-Woo take all the blame. Hes a perfect scapegoat. Thought Naomi.
Naomi looked to the front and cleared her throat. First of all, good job on the previous mission. Especially, Stephen, I saw you confroting Mischa Belyaeva on the bridge. Confroting her in one on one is truly a feat to be complimented.
Naomi started her speech with a compliment. She learned how to talk in front of people from the best of the best, her own mother. She had learned that complimenting her subordinates at the start of the meeting is important to boost her subordinate morale. And, that was proven to be effective as Stephen laughed hard and boasted his achievement to the other.
Hahahahaha, that was nothing. Its such a shame that there was someone that interrupted our fight. I loved fighting with a strong opponent, and on the last mission, I was disappointed that I failed to get the fight that I wanted! Princess, I hope you will give me a chance to fight a strong opponent next time!
Stephen!! The blond-haired man beside him, Doni, interjected Stephen with his hand from getting any further.
Its okay, I know your feeling. If you wanted to fight strong opponents, or any opponents at all, then the content of this meeting will satisfy you.
Hahahahaha, I cant wait for that. Stephen had a toothy grin after he said that. He thought that if Princess said that he will get a strong opponent, then that must be true. After all, his Princess is strong, to the point he wont be able to lift his finger if he fought her.
Now to the main topic, the reason why I asked Chi to meet me today is related to the last mission. If you dont mind, Chi. Could you explain the information that we got from interrogating the men that Stephen brought back to the base? Naomi left the explanation to Chi. She left it to her because Naomi was afraid to lost control if shes the one who explain it.
Naomi is not a hypocrite, she killed lots of people in the span of 2 years after all. But, she condemns a practice that forces people to obey the other person's will. Even when the one that was forced didnt want to do what the other person commanded.
Chi who heard Hanzs report about Naomis reaction when he relayed the information understood why Naomi left the explanation to her. She nodded as she stood up and operated her holo phone to show the information to the big screen behind them.
Certainly. Well then, I will explain about the information that we got from interrogating 2 men that Stephen brought back from the last mission.
The members in the room put on a serious look as they looked at the big screen behind Naomi. The screen changed into the picture of 2 men that tried to hit on Naomi in the hotel 2 days ago.
Those two men have been identified as Daiki and Lou. 2 days ago, those men hired a group of thugs to attack a girl named Akasa Naomi. This time Naomis face was shown on the screen.
Naomi heard a small chuckle from her left and saw Hyun-Woo covered her mouth and trying to hold his laughter. Irked by him, she used her telekinesis to shut Hyun-Woos mouth without anyone noticing it.
After shutting Hyun-Woos mouth, Naomi whispered a word that could only be heard by Hyun-Woo. Shut up, if you cant do that then I guess you wanted a free skydive again?
When he heard that, he straightened his sitting position and shakes his hand under the table to avoid the other members to saw it.
Well, even if Hyun-Woo didnt try to hide it, the members in the room didnt even look at Hyun-Woo as they focused on Chis explanation.
This girl, Akasa Naomi is our target of protection. Even if she doesnt know it, she provided us a weapon as I described in the briefing before the mission. All members nodded their heads and Chi continued her explanation.
It turns out, those 2 men targeted Akasa Naomi for a different reason from what we thought previously. Previously, we guessed that those men targeted Akasa Naomi because of her position in Akasa Inc. but our guess was wrong. They targeted her because they intended to kidnap her and sold her as a slave to the Esper Associations higher up.
Wait, Chi! You left a tiny detail!! Only one or two higher-ups!! Not all of them had bought the slaves! Naomi looked at Chi, trying to add the detail that she guessed to keep herself composed. But Naomi was too late.
In an instant, the atmosphere inside the room tensed. Naomi saw Doni grit his teeth while clenching his hands. Selena clicked her tongue and had an expression of disgust on her face. Ao's siblings looked at each other for a brief while and frown formed on their faces. Amongst the member, Stephen has the most intense reaction.
Bam!
Stephen slammed his right hand on the table as his face formed a deep frown, expressing his anger towards the men and the Esper Associations higher up. Those scum!!!
The table trembled because of that, and Naomi thought to herself.
Ah, Chi had done it
