Vroom.
Yusei started the car and aggressively stepped on the accelerator. Once they started moving, Seyoung said, “Please report this situation to your higher ups. It doesn’t look like your government plotted this.”
“… Alright.”
The fact that Seyoung knew the Japanese government didn’t plot this situation but was just inept in allowing such a situation to arise, Yusei felt embarrassed for a moment, but instead of making excuses, Yusei picked up his cell phone and contacted his superiors. Indeed, his superiors were also taken aback and replied that they would take immediate action.
‘Who is it? If it is not Japan, is it some other country?’
There were countless countries that wanted the Heaven above the Heavens. Many countries, including Russia, Japan, China, and those in Europe, as well as the United States, were sending love calls to the Heaven above the Heavens members without hesitation or consideration of saving ‘face’.
Alien attacks were relentless and ferocious, so the assistance of a Heaven above the Heavens member for the sake of one’s own national safety was desperately sought out. The truth was, Arthur alone was better than pouring hundreds of billions or hundreds of trillions of dollars into one’s national defense.
“… Hmm, something definitely seems off. Just in case, I will contact my friends.”
“Friends?”
Seeing Yusei express his doubts, Sanae laughed.
“Fellow Masters. I wouldn’t dare compare them to the Heaven above the Heavens, but they will definitely be of help to some extent. They are socially powerful friends.”
Yusei was at the wheel, Seyoung was in the passenger seat, and Sanae was in the back seat. Yusei wondered if Sanae would make a fuss, but she kept quiet while she busily contacted her Master friends.
‘She’s more considerate than she looks.’
Thinking so, Yusei twisted the steering wheel and pulled into a four-way intersection. However, unexpectedly, the road was blocked. About a hundred people were occupying the road and protesting.
“Oh man, the timing…”
“Oh, it seems because of the festival and military training overlapping, the protestors are aiming to get ahold of the gathered international reporters’ attention. But the Japanese don’t usually do public demonstrations, so I don’t understand why…”
Sanae, who was talking quietly from the backseat and looking around, froze when she saw a large banner hanging on one side of the building. There was a large picture of Arthur and Merlin hanging there.
“I see a lot of Korean bastards’ faces here! Aren’t you all offended?”
“Get all the cockroaches and Arthur out of Japan!”
“Japan has the power to defend itself! Why are you inviting those filthy Korean bastards!”
“Politicians bought by the Korean government… wake up!”
“It is a fabrication that two of the three Heaven above the Heavens are in Korea! Even among the Japanese, who have received more Nobel Prizes, there is no one who has reached Level 15! It’s all fake news!”
“The Korean government is selling humanity and plotting with the aliens!”
The protestors were waving Japanese and Rising Sun flags while shouting loudly. The noise and commotion caused many of the people walking down the street to stop and watch what was going on, and reporters from various countries who had stopped by Japan to film the festival and military training exercise were starting to focus their cameras on the protestors.

“Ugh! Damn it. Those right-wing nationalist idiots…”
Sanae, who noticed the identity of the protesters, glanced over at Seyoung. Unfortunately, he too had seen them.
“Of course, I knew there was an anti-group, but… Why are they protesting? I came at the request of the Japanese government.”
Surprised by Seyoung’s quiet tone of voice, Sanae vigorously shook her hand.
“Please don’t think that all Japanese are like that. Those guys are far-right nationalists who got sick of arguing with each other. Their numbers are very small… Ugh, a lot of foreign reporters are here as well… those idiots sure know how to disgrace their country properly. Everyone in Japan knows that there’s no easy way to deal with these right-wing idiots.”
Sanae seemed worried that Seyoung would come to hate Japan.
“It’s fine. They’re no harm to me anyway. The more important thing right now is to meet my mother.”
As Seyoung mumbled his reply, he recalled what his mother, Hye-ran, had said to him.
“Well, I’m not sure either. I’m passing the three-way intersection. I see a sushi restaurant, a supermarket, a bakery, and another restaurant…”
Seyoung recalled the satellite map of Tokyo that he had seen before. He began to match the order of the buildings that his mother had mentioned with the satellite map.
‘She probably listed off the buildings she saw through the window. And she said that she was on a three-way street. Luckily, over the receiver, I heard someone hawking a local store’s discount event.’
As Seyoung drew a three-dimensional model of the whole of Tokyo in his head, he quickly located a place that met all the conditions he had overheard from his conversation with his mother. In addition, he remembered the sound he heard over the receiver and roughly estimated the direction and speed of the car his mother was traveling in.
“Take a left here.”
“Hmm? But if we go this way, we’ll enter the suburbs.”
“Right. Go in that direction and then… shoot.”
Seeing a black sedan following behind them, Seyoung’s expression coolly sharpened. Though he had expected a tail to be on them, it seemed ridiculous to Seyoung that the perpetrators, whoever they were, were moving so openly in public.
Screech.
Both the front and rear of Yusei’s car was surrounded by black sedans and forced to stop, but no one panicked or seemed afraid. All three in Yusei’s car were Masters, and in the case of Seyoung and Yusei, they had enough gem points from the recent mission they completed a few days ago, in which they fought against a mighty enemy called the Emperor of Martial Arts, to manifest. Seyoung or Yusei were powerful enough to annihilate an entire army in the time it took to utter a single word.
“Get out of the car, Korean bastard. You all…”
“Hey! Ugh… you fools! Please… please don’t do anything that’ll embarrass Japan. Because of guys like you, the decent Japanese people will be cursed as backwards people!”
Sanae made a pitiful expression as she glared at the man through her window. Naturally, her door was locked, and she had no intention of lowering the window. An entire army could be destroyed in the time it took to utter a single word, but on the other hand, if one died without even getting the chance to utter a single word, even a Master would helplessly die. To not get sniped by a sniper’s bullet, the three Masters shouldn’t get out from the safety of the car’s bulletproof frame, which the Japanese government provided for Seyoung.
“Shut up, traitor. You’ve been blinded by money, and you’re clinging to a Korean bastard like a slutty prostitute. It’s not a day or two that girls like you, who don’t appreciate the country that raised them, do such disgusting things, but this is really too much.”
“What?”
Sanae was taken aback by the outrageous language the man was spewing. What was this idiot saying? Did he truly believe in what he was saying? Sanae stared back at the man wondering if he was really being sincere, but of course, the man was dead serious.
“The only person we want to negotiate with is Arthur, so shut up. You, Arthur, raise your hands and get out of the car. Of course, as soon as we sniff any sign of you manifesting, the woman dies.”
“You want me to come out unprotected?”
Seyoung’s eyes flashed with cool anger. He was furious. To him, Hye-ran, his mother, was more precious than his own life, so he had to absolutely protect her under any circumstance. He had left her at home in Korea, so if anything were to happen to her, he’d go crazy from remorse.
“Don’t worry, I won’t lay a finger on her as long as you don’t do any nonsense. We Japanese do not lie.”
“… I’m embarrassed to call you a fellow Japanese. Don’t you have any sense of pride? You’re threatening to kidnap and kill someone else’s mother?” Yusei commented.
“Shut up. The ends justify the means.”
“Aha, that’s a concept I despise the most.”
Yusei growled. He admired Arthur as a Master and was amazed by his abilities. Because of this, Yusei had hoped that Arthur would have good feelings for Japan after this visit, but everything seemed to have gone awry.
‘Should I manifest right now?’
At that moment, Seyoung fell into thought. Seeing as they hurriedly intercepted him while the three were pursuing his mother’s whereabouts, it seemed that Hye-ran was likely not too far away.
And once manifested, Arthur could sense all beings within a several kilometer radius and could fly to a close destination faster than the speed of sound. If he suddenly manifested, he could subdue and take out the others before they could do anything to his mother.
‘… No. It’s too dangerous.’
The chance of success was high. If he had to quantify it, Arthur would probably give himself a 99% chance of success. But how could he gamble with his mother’s life on the line, especially if there was a 1% chance of failure?
In the end, Seyoung decided to figure out what they wanted instead of overpowering them. If their main objective was to kill him, they wouldn’t be acting this way.
“I’m coming out.”
“No. They are unreliable garbage; don’t trust what they’re saying. If you wait a bit…”
“Yusei, do you really think your superiors have no idea?”
Seyoung gave a cold smile. He was a prominent state guest in Japan. He was an important person who necessitated a 24-hour security detail. However, Arthur left the government’s party of his own accord without any push back, and the fact that the reaction from above was so slow meant that something was wrong.
“Ah, but if that’s the case…”
“Don’t worry. I’m stronger than they think.”
Seyoung opened the door, got out, and got into the other’s car. In the other’s car, two well-built men were already within the car, and they made way so that Seyoung could sit in the middle of the backseat. Seyoung did not hesitate, and the Japanese man in the front passenger seat whistled in sarcastic admiration.
“You’re such a proud person. Aren’t you afraid?”
“Where’s my mother?”
“I understand it doesn’t matter how many times you die in DIO, but do you think that’s the case in real life? I’m sick of seeing people like you, who take real life so lightly.”
“Why did you kidnap my mother?”
“How does it feel to be praised as a great person from everyone around you? Does it make you feel like an ideal human being?”
“What is your purpose? No matter how stupid you are, you wouldn’t try to negotiate with me by twisting things to this extent.”
“Man, you sure know how to run your mouth, you Korean bastard! Why aren’t you listening to what my brother is saying…”
Bam!
With the sound like a leather bag being beaten, the man who yelled and glared at Seyoung from beside him, as well as the other man beside Seyoung, lost consciousness and drooped down in their seats. Even though Arthur was in reality, where he couldn’t use his internal energy, he was still a world class martial artist and possessed a physical body that surpassed that of most humans. He was not someone who could be dealt with by those who had only developed their bodies through repeated exercise.
