102 Chapter-101 The Nuclear Codes pt-2
(A/N:-In the upcoming chapter, you will see the absolute manipulation and plotting done by those at the very top!)
***
(At the hospital)
"Can I see him?"
Kyouko stood before the two [Chiba Clan Elders] who were guarding the door to Toshikazu's room.
These old monsters who rarely took action were now standing guard outside the room of their future patriarch.
This just goes to show, how important Toshikazu is for his clan!
The two old monsters observed Kyouko with a plain face before grunting in allowance.
They moved aside to allow her to enter the room; where laid her beloved boyfriend.
For someone who didn't know about the incident.
His first thought would probably be...
This handsome youth was "sleeping" peacefully on the bed and from the rosy glow on his face...
...it was certain that he was peaceful.
Unfortunately, no matter how peaceful he looked, it didn't change the fact that he had been stabbed in the back by a dead person!
And was currently in a coma!
"Toshikazu..."
With a pained expression and teary eyes, Kyouko moved towards her unconscious boyfriend and gently sat near him; on her knees.
She looked at him with an expression that conveyed a mixture of love and remorse!
"Because of me, today you are in this condition..."
"...but don't worry! I have asked a friend to help us out and restore you to full health."
"You will wake up very soon!"
"I promise you that much!"
Kyouko lovingly caressed Toshikazu's face with her hand while enjoying her time with her boyfriend.
Knock!
A knock on the door dispersed the atmosphere within the room!
Shutter!
One of the two old monsters opened the door slightly and spoke in a low yet audible tone.
"It's time for the doctor to check-up."
Behind the old man, stood the doctor; wearing a white coat while holding a pen and pad within his hands.
Kyouko turned to look towards the doctor before she slowly nodded; agreeing to leave the room so that the doctor could do his job.
She turned to look at Toshikazu and leaned forward to plant a kiss on his forehead before leaving the room.

(At 101-battalion command center)
"Have we been able to track down [The Puppet Master] yet?"
Major Kazama was not in a good mood!
Firstly, his 3rd in-command was on a "vacation"; as per the orders from the higher-ups.
Now they were having trouble pinpointing the exact location of the X-rank criminal who obvious was a master at covering his tracks!
No CCTV face recognition!
No bills or payments were done under any suspicious names!
No public reports concerning strange individuals!
No nothing!
Not even a trace of [The Puppet Master] could be found!
One of the members of the battalion turned his face away from the monitor and looked towards Major Kazama.
"Sir! I don't think we would be able to track him down like this!"
"We have been monitoring all private means of transport yet not a single clue about [The Puppet Master]!"
"As if he had never existed!"
Ohh!
The frustration could be felt oozing out of the man's voice!
"Even if at least some people would have submitted any complaints, that could have maybe given us some clue!"
"Unfortunately, we have nothing!"
"And the weird thing is that it is too quiet in the city today as if something's about to happen."
Call it a gut feeling, but the member was quite trusting to his instincts!
'Hm...he will absolutely try to escape from the city today, at least that's what we were able to gather from our previous source of information.'
'Looking at the situation, it's really hard to predict what moves will the enemy make.'
Major Kazama was once again checking the report on [The Puppet Master] and his patterns to understand move on how the latter would react or what decisions would he make?
Ring!
He was broken out of his thoughts by a phone call.
Usually, it is forbidden to use normal communication devices while working on a mission to avoid data leaks but...
...Major Kazama also understood that this was an opportunity in case someone found any information on the matter.
After all, if the target leaves the country then it wouldn't make any sense to try and keep this information under wraps since the enemy surely wouldn't allow that!
So, he picked up his phone and accepted the call.
"Greetings, Major Kazama."
Hearing the voice, Major Kazama was pleasantly surprised but soon he recovered from the initial shock and adopted a serious expression.
"Elder Kudou?"
Yes, you guessed it right!
It was Elder Retsu on the other side, communicating with the Major and commander of 101-Battalion.
"I know you are busy but..."
"...We have a few important information to discuss, Major Kazama."

(At Chiba Main Family)
"Are you sure, Erika?"
Naotsugu questioned his younger sibling if she was sure about doing what was bound to happen.
"Yes, Nao-Nii..."
Pure determination and killing intent radiated from the red-head as she remembered the face of her unconscious brother.
"...I am sure about doing this!"
Hearing his sister's declaration, a worried expression surfaced on Naotsugu's face.
Now don't get him wrong, he was equally bloodthirsty for getting vengeance but he knew that he couldn't lose rationality and act on emotions.
Especially when their enemy is an X-rank criminal with unknown abilities and powers.
Not to mention he seemed to be quite smart too!
"How did you even managed to track him down?"
Naotsugu questioned his younger sister about the source of her information, after all, she had claimed that she knew the location of [The Puppet Master].
"An unknown friend helped me..."
Erika didn't look at her brother but rather looked down at the message she had received yesterday; from an unknown number.
***
(Message)
If you want to find what you seek?
If you want to seek vengeance?
If you want to avenge your brother?
Come to [Maddison Park], tomorrow night at 12:30 a.m.
You will find what you seek.

(At airport)
"Sir! The overseas flights have been delayed to midnight whereas the other flights have already taken off!"
"But a lot of people have been complaining about these last-minute changes."
"If this goes on then we will suffer heavy losses!"
One of the stats guys immediately pinpoints the main problem due to the strange events that were happening right now.
The Tokyo Flight department had received a call from Elder Kudou, asking to delay certain types of flight and advance the others.
The old patriarch had promised the government that he would pay for all the problems that would occur due to this sudden change.
"Hm....shift all these people to the [Saltzman Airlines]."
"Tell them, due to unseen circumstances; their registration is being handled by other airlines for the time being."
"And don't forget to mention that for the inconvenience, their registration has been changed to first-class!"
The Tokyo airport was in a dilemma when they received a call from private airlines.
Erik Saltzman appeared as their saving grace!
Saltzman Airlines were willing to provide help to the government by transporting these people using their own resources!
To protect the image and prestige of the government-regulated airlines...
...Erik Saltzman even generously upgraded everyone's pre-registered seats to first-class!
Can you believe this man!
Absolute madman!
Well, not really since the one thing he doesn't lack is money.
The sudden announcement from the Saltzman Emperor shocked many people but at the same time, it made the general public happy!
The Twììter and Fàçèbøøk were strongly active!
Complimenting Erik's generosity and supporting his actions whereas the Japanese populace was as showing their gratitude to the young master of the Saltzman Family.
People were suggesting that because Elder Kudou was a major part of the [Dream Technology Cooperation]...
...Erik decided to support his "own" by doing this, to cover-up for the inconvenience.
What a master move!

(At construction site)
"Sir! The cranes are blocking the three routes!"
One of the workers immediately informed his senior about the cranes that had been positioned on the roadways.
"Hm? Alright! Now diverge the traffic flow towards the [Maddison Park] and [Central Road]."
Even though the cranes indeed had blocked the roads, the government has already created divergence to regulate the traffic so there was nothing to worry about.
"But sir wouldn't that make it impossible to reach the airport without going through [Maddison Park]?"
"Indeed, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do..."
"We have to finish the construction as soon as possible!"
"Now get back to work!"
"Yes sir!"
Just in case if you were wondering what was being constructed...
...it was a resort!
The Saltzman Paradise Resort!
