Chapter 370: Worldwide Hot Issue
When Elysia returned to the runway terminal, many people were observing her family’s stealth aircraft.
At first glance, it looked like an oval pancake with four superjet engines as the propellers. It had no missiles, bombs, or weapons of any kind because the aircraft was purely for fast movement and scouting. However, it couldn’t be detected by any kind of device, and that caused many people to become captivated.
"Please excuse me. We need to leave for patient care. If you are interested in our technology, we can discuss it again at another opportunity." Elysia called out to everyone.
"Hey, gentleman. Do you intend to sell this technology? This aircraft is truly undetected and very useful for reconnaissance into enemy territory far to the south. We are interested in discussing business with you, sir." The nearby machinist rubbed his hands passionately.
"It’s not impossible. Maybe we need to hold a trade event in the near future. Pay attention to the latest news from the Minamoto Family." Elysia tapped her chin while asking Xentia’s opinion via Elysium Group Chat.
"I never thought you would be injured this badly, Miss Erina. You are a big lady with almost unmeasurable wealth. You need to take better care of yourself." Captain Lucas approached with pure concern.
He received news that Erina was seriously injured, but a few seconds ago, his agent informed him that Erina’s injuries were much more severe than estimated and was at risk of permanent disability, forcing her to retire early from the military.
"Thank you for your concern, Captain Lucas. If I don’t make my move, the fleet will not have enough time to retreat, and this Superclass Mothership will suffer more severe damage." Erina shook her head with a sigh. She did feel a bit reckless before, but everything unfolded just like that.
"Well, sorry if my words sounded a bit offensive. You’ve done your best. I’ll make sure those old fogies won’t make things difficult for you. We’ll visit you in a few days." Captain Lucas heaved a subtle sigh.
After receiving the tremendous blow because her grandfather died on the battlefield, she was almost always on the front line to eradicate monsters and demons. So, Heaven might want her to rest and retire today.
"America owes me a lot. Send my share to Japan. El, let’s leave." Erina looked up.
"Alright, my princess." Elysia shrugged her shoulders. She carried Erina like a princess and jumped into the stealth aircraft.
Ai immediately took control as the pilot, and Elena folded the wheelchair before getting on as the co-pilot.
The two masked ladies soon become the center of attention because of their breathtaking presence. Sadly, they immediately boarded the aircraft.
"Holy cow... there is someone there who is completely immune to Miss Erina’s golden touch. Her spring has finally arrived. Who is that person? He already has two extraordinary female companions, and is still greedy to grab Miss Erina." Korea’s elite team captain was shocked.
"The most beautiful girl finally found her prince. I don’t know what to say, but so many people will be heartbroken by this." The nearby elite couldn’t help but mutter with a sigh.
"Where is your plane? If you can’t catch up with our flight speed, we won’t slow down for you." Elysia raised her hand to Japan’s elite team.
"Young Master El, are you really going to fly straight to Japan in one flight? I suggest you transit in Los Angeles first, and we can use a direct flight using a super aircraft to cross the Pacific Ocean via aero spaceline." Instructor Yufu suggested, but she said it as if there was no other way.
"Isn’t that obvious? If you guys don’t come, then we’ll see you in Japan. The world will remain calm for a few days, so use your time well." Elysia raised her hand in farewell.
"See you again." Erina looked aside, expressing her farewell. She then leaned against Elysia and closed her eyes.
The windshield closed tightly, and the stealth aircraft moved towards the exit runway. Everyone immediately took a safe distance.
*Swoosh!*
The stealth aircraft shot out at impressive speed and accelerated its pace in the sky. It was instantly no longer visible, disappearing behind the clouds.
"Hey, did I see it correctly? Even though Miss Erina has found her prince, that cold-blooded golden dive really acts like a little girl in love." Someone rubbed his eyes as if he still couldn’t believe what he had just seen.
"It’s, Error, EX... This mysterious expert is not a random nobody. His name is El, hmm? Stop fantasizing about things outside of our business. She has found someone who can handle her at her worst, protect her, and give her warmth. I don’t know what it’s like to be an untouchable one with a potent golden touch curse, but she was so lonely until just now." Captain Lucas removed his appraisal device and slapped his subordinate’s back.
"Error, EX?" The nearby warrior gasped in surprise.
"His power cannot be measured. Japan’s elite team, can you please elaborate more about this mysterious expert?" Captain Lucas went to approach Japan’s elite team.
"We don’t know much about him. Erina-sama calls him El, Young Master El. He said that he is a Guardian of Dream’s member. Erina-sama also said that she has known him since years ago." Captain Mike replied with a little doubt because he wasn’t sure yet.
"Guardian of Dream!? Then, it makes sense. The Minamoto Family is the only one who has contact with this mysterious organization. However, they disappeared five years ago, right? Even Miss Erina personally said that she lost contact with the Guardian of Dream." Korea’s elite team captain rushed over, followed by the other warriors.
The brief conversation then broke into a heated discussion. However, Captain Lucas immediately left the location while muttering softly under his breath. "If it’s really the Guardian of Dream, then will Miss E grace her presence again? Since the Guardian of Dream reappeared, then the situation is clearly not going well. He said to use our time well, huh..."
A few moments later, several military officers from other countries came to ask Japan’s elite team about Erina and Young Master El.
The admirals immediately summoned them, and Japan’s elite team had no other choice but to answer the summons, even though they were about to leave. They had to answer several questions from higher-ups.
"Erina received major fractures and is at risk of permanent disability. Even if she receives the best treatment and recovers from her injuries, she will not be able to return as a top-tier combatant again."
"Erina will retire from the military, but she will continue to cooperate with our World Unity Force and the Esper Association. It’s not an utter loss."
"We can’t control her, but she is still one of humanity’s greatest assets. Regardless, the overall situation is still a huge loss."
"If only the super graviton cannon managed to kill that one... we could focus on dealing with the berserk one more effectively."
"It’s no use lamenting what has passed. However, a mysterious team suddenly appeared. His name is El, the one who managed to win the golden diva’s heart. He and Heracles managed to deliver the finishing blow and kill an SSS-Class great vishap, not wasting Erina’s efforts."
"Based on reports, he is accompanied by two remarkable beauties with profound abilities. They are Guardian of Dream’s members. This organization is one of the most mysterious. Do we need to do something about them and the Minamoto Family?"
"No need. The last time they appeared, all their members were godly warriors, beyond human comprehension. Don’t offend them for the time being. This El even managed to throw Heracles like a sandbag."
The higher-ups and admirals opened a high-level meeting to discuss the situation, especially regarding Erina’s retirement and the mysterious expert.
"Haha, Erina-sama finally found herself a spouse. Our efforts to find her a partner ended in vain. Those bodyguards are unreliable, huh. They must be frustrated, but so be it. After handling the situation here, I have to return to Japan and meet them." The Japanese Admiral rubbed his chin, unable to hide a broad smile on his face.
The Superclass Mothership immediately returned to the main port of New Jersey, leading the entire fleet to bring the monsters to the port, especially the dead great vishaps.
The high-level monster’s carcass could be used for many things, including forging some top-tier equipment and weapons. Thus, the port area soon became super busy dealing with those monsters’ remains, especially the two great vishaps whose massive size rivaled the Superclass Mothership.
Elysia’s current disguise as Young Master El caused the rumors about Erina to explode and became a worldwide hot issue.
She could guess the trouble she would face after picking up Erina. Regardless, the hotter the issue, the better. She could use Young Master El’s identity to her advantage as an international merchant more effectively.
