Chapter 268 268:Federation Assembly
Beads of sweat ticked from his forehead as he saw the intense gaze locking onto him.
"Did I make a mistake?"Sike smiled bitterly
"Why did you say that?"
"Huh! Isn't that who you are?"Sike put on a frowning face.
"Is that how you reached this position..By kissing asses?"
"Ahem!"Sike coughed at the direct assault.
Instead of returning to Woods Mansion, Leon's first destination was to the Federation Office.
Yeah, the meeting was going to be held today.
They should have arrived at midnight yesterday but due to the attack, they needed to drop in between and check for any damage and other security tasks.
As for the fighter jet pilots, all of them were killed brutally. Sophia didn't even leave their ashes behind.
Now they were guarded by a huge rally of cops and the car where their family sat was driven by Sike.
Looking at the cop car surrounding them all along the journey, Leon asked, "What is going on here?"
"They are here to guard you."
The moment the guard said this, everyone's expression suffered.
"Guard....Who?"Gwen muttered in disbelief.
"AHEM!"Sike coughed loudly.
"Guard the other against us," Arthur spoke blankly then commanded.
"Hey, you can drop us in the Metropolis, we have people to take care of. Just accompany Leon to Council Hall."
"What? Are you not going?"Irina asked in bewilderment. Only the Martial Emperor can enter there and today there was going to be an important discussion.
And she knew that things might not end well for her son.
Arthur stared at Irina for a moment and smiled.
"It has been too rough for me and I have been tired. I need to rest for a bit. As for your boy, it would be good if he spared a few instead of massacring everyone."
"Hiccup!"
Sike and one who drove the van coughed after hearing this and swallowed his saliva.
At that moment, he saw Arthur placing his hand up above in the empty air as if placing it on someone's shoulder giving a creepy smile.
"Huh...Sir, what are you doing?"
"Can't you see he just placed it on her?"Sophia asked with a frown.
"What do you mean by her? Isn't that sit empty?"
SWISH!
A deep silence prevailed and everyone turned towards Lia with a haunting gaze who answered with a soft smile.
"Except you, others can't see me."
Leon's lips twitched.
Now he realized why reporters were flocking at them while ignoring his grandpa and grandmother as if they were non-existent.
"That old man is just remembering his wife. Just neglect that guy's creepy tendencies."
Leon smiled gently but it looked evil making Sike swallow his saliva again.
'Damn! There is no one sane in this family.'
He had received an order to escort the Woods family and when he asked his superior about the reason.
He said one thing.
[I hope people won't disappear.]
'Ha!I want to go home.'
...........
The council hall buzzed with anticipation as members of the Federation buffed in, each taking their designated seats.
The atmosphere crackled with energy as Martial Emperors from different regions and backgrounds exchanged nods and greetings,
The hall itself exuded grandeur, with high ceilings adorned with intricate chandeliers casting a warm glow over the assembled delegates. The walls were lined with portraits of past presidents and esteemed figures in the federation's history, serving as a reminder of the organization's rich legacy.
At the center of it all, the President of the Federation stood tall behind the podium, commanding attention with their presence.
Distinguished individuals of the highest rank stood behind the president, their expressions were serious yet resolute as they prepared for the momentous announcement about to unfold.
Amidst the clamor, people glance at one another exchanging their thoughts.
Was the Federation about to address the events of the previous incident or is there something new?
Though most Assemblies often take place the President rarely enters but when he does, he drops a bomb.
Moreover, during urgent times everyone had to attend, and those who were out in the zone used video calls to attend but only one-third were present with no one from Elysium so why was the President appearing today?
This piqued their curiosity.
As the Martial Emperor's warriors showered him with curious, interested looks, Aaron Walton politely urged for silence before continuing.
"I have something important to share with all of you," he declared.
Each warrior gathered here was among the best of the best in their respective lands. The citizens recognized them instantly by name alone.
They were not unruly youths or ragtag soldiers; they were the epitome of elite warriors so all of them shut up on his call.
"Everyone must be curious about Crimson Day when that man descended like God wreaking havoc."
"We have kept neutral due to circumstances. Everyone might have already seen evidence of horror broadcasted to the whole world." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Also, we don't have any evidence of the death of Federation Members in that place since there has been nobody recovered so to satisfy your curiosity we have called upon the newly crowned Martial Emperor who is responsible for prime incidents."
Aaron paused with a smile noticing everyone's stiff expression.
'I am sure these bastards are going to play hard.'
'Well, whatever...It's their fault, not mine.'
Shrugging his shoulder, he pointed at a huge metallic door that started to side.
"Welcome Leon Woods, who will be joining us from today."
The moment the door slid open, every Martial Emperor clenched their fist and released their aura.
They had been pissed off recently by this incident as the total annihilation had been getting on their nerves.
So, they decided to strike from the start.
And with that, their combined power assaulted Leon.
They expected him to crawl and frighten or just stand frozen but contrary to their expectations...
A brazen gleeful mocking voice echoed.
"Kekeke!"
"It seems all of you are forgetting who I am and what I did a few weeks ago."
"So tell me..."
"Do you want me to personally show you the experience of hell?"
