Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
144 Chapter 143

When Makoto heard that, he lost his temper and punched the earth box. Since he was strong, he ended up cracking the box. That being said, since Leon made it sturdier to carry two full-grown men, Makoto ended up injuring his hand.

"Sorry…" Makoto sighed to calm down.

In the end, Leon could only shrug. If he were in Makoto's position, he wouldn't be able to think straight; he would cause a massacre. However, Makoto was older, and he was wise enough to understand that acting purely based on his emotions would only lead to more problems.

"Really, I can't wait to see him." Yuki laughed. "He trained you the same way? Because I can see that you are his dog."

"… Princess, you already twenty." Seiji sighed. "You can't keep speaking like a teenager. Don't be mistaken, I'm working for them, for the sake of Japan."

"I knew that you are all muscles and no-brain," Yuki frowned. "But to think that you were stupid to this extent… I'm impressed."

"It doesn't surprise me that you can't understand what I'm doing," Seiji said. "You are one of the lots that blindly believes in Makoto, after all. People like you don't say a word even when he is clearly destroying our prideful country."

"You also have a bad memory…" Yuki said. "Did you already forget that my father and my brother were the ones who lead the people of the country four years ago? Thanks to them, hundreds of thousands survived. Thanks to them, we rebuilt several cities… where in the hell you can see him destroying anything?"

"Everything started after the death of your brother…" Seiji glared at Yuki. "Foreigner dogs killed him, and what did your father do? Nothing, he did absolutely nothing! He did nothing when we lost the future of our country!"

"… Father wanted to do something. He wanted to have his revenge," Yuki said. "But he chose to prioritize our country. How many people would die if war was waged against the Allied Forces of North-America? They have more survivors and soldiers; they even have the technology to build choppers that can become invisible. Only someone stupid would start a war."

"Only a coward wouldn't avenge his son's death," Seiji said. "Your mother died four years ago, and Makoto doesn't intend to marry again. So, you are the only one left. Please don't take offense in my words, but you will never be able to lead our country. Only someone who fights in the front-lines like your father can inspire the people. Makoto can do that, but he won't live forever…"

It looks like Seiji was thinking about the future of Japan in his own stupid way. Since he couldn't see the future of his country, he decided to destroy the stability that they currently have… it was foolish.

"Again and again, your father refused my plans to retaliate for the death of his son…" Seiji sighed. "Still, I obeyed him, and I still could imagine a good future for our country. However, I lost all hope when Makoto decided to let that kid do whatever he wants. First, he cleared the dungeons, and after that, he was entrusted with the task to bring those who caused the prince's death. That wasn't a job for an American! It wasn't something a Japanese soldier should have done!"

"You are so noisy…" Yuki looked away. "Can't you use your head for a change? If my father had a soldier that could have done that, he would have sent such a soldier, but he didn't have. You and your lackeys couldn't even clear all the dungeons of our country, and you still think that you could have done what he did? I don't like that guy either, but I must respect his power. Besides, he isn't greedy for recognition and stupid like you, so I can see why father trusted him the task for bring those who killed my brother."

"He did bring all the criminals, but not all were punished," Seiji said. "He even had the nerve to ask Makoto to forgive the leader of the team who stole our resources, and Makoto readily said yes. He has no right to be the emperor of our country…"

"You are so stupid that you make me feel embarrassed…" Yuki sighed. "You were my father's right-hand man, do you know why he became the most influential person in our country? It wasn't because of his title; it was because he saved lives, and he didn't prioritize honor or his image above all else. Since you can't see far ahead like my father, you didn't become the new leader. That is so true that you probably don't even know what to do after this."

"You couldn't be more wrong…" Seiji said. "It's true, I will work for the Russians, but in exchange for that, I will become the new emperor of Japan and lead our country to a new age of prosperity!"

p "Yeah, yeah… I'm sure you will." Yuki looked away. "I bet you already have dozen of ideas of how to do that."

Putting Yuki's sarcastic remarks aside, Leon confirmed his suspicions. In the end, Seiji wanted to become Japan's new leader. That being said, he wondered how just Yuki would be enough for Seiji to buy the Russians backing. He would have a better chance of obtaining that by offering Makoto's head. Since Makoto himself never imagined that Seiji would someday betray him, they probably had a lot of chances of killing him.

"I wonder why you kept such idiot as your advisor for so long…" Leon said.

"… I' never seen this side of him." Makoto sighed. "Although I can see now that he is a fool, his troops are one of the best that my country has, and he also has a lot of combat knowledge be against monsters of against humans."

"I can't imagine that." Leon frowned.
