The Magician of Sound

"Miss, mind giving my wallet back?" No one would notice this and thought they somehow bumped onto them. However, it was different in Kai's eyes and ears.

"What do you mean, Mister? I don't know what you are talking about." The golden-haired girl made a weird expression. "How do I give your wallet back when I don't possess it?"

Kai stared at her and looked at her butt, albeit what he truly looked at was her jeans' black pocket where she put his wallet.

"Mister. Why are you staring at my butt? I am going to scream since you are harassing me!" She glared at him.

"You can do it, but we will see who will have the last laugh," Kai smirked evilly, threatening the girl.

The brown-haired girl tugged her shoulder. "It's really a bad idea. I have told you not to do it."

Kai glanced at her before narrowing his eyes. "So? A thief?"

Michelle and the others were surprised that they actually didn't sense it at all.

"I don't know anything, Mister." The golden-haired girl smiled weirdly.

"Just give me back my wallet, I don't want to deal with this any longer." Kai sighed.

"I am sorry, but that is not possible." She shook her head furiously before she started crying. "My grandmother needs money for her treatment, so I really need this money. This is the only thing I can do other than selling my body."

Kai furrowed his eyebrows and pulled the girl to the point their face and lips were almost touched. However, there was nothing but terror in this situation as he released his aura. "You want to lie in front of me? Try again in a hundred years."

The girl's body was shaking before she slowly grabbed Kai's wallet and handed it to him. She then grabbed her friend and ran away.

Kai looked at their backs and tried to focus his hearing on these two. Little did he know that these two already knew about him, so he couldn't get anything from them.

The brown-haired girl typed something and gave it to the golden-haired girl. 'I have said it's a bad idea to try tricking him with this kind of trick.'

She replied, 'I only want to test his hearing. I have been training my zodiac's power and learning how to do all stealthy things, but he could hear it just like that. Now that I have understood his hearing, I can see which plan I can use next.'

'This is really a bad idea. What if he learns about our real identities? Won't this idea become useless?'

'Nope. I just need to play the card right to make him play the rescue of a damsel in distress.' She smirked.

'If you meet him like that, then it is going to be troublesome.'

'Don't worry. I won't use this face anymore. I can mask my presence completely as long as I become someone else, including mimicking their voice.'

'Are you sure?'

'Of course. Besides, we are going to stay in this place for at least a month. I can just say I am curious about their school, so attend it for a few weeks. I can play my card there, I guess.' She shrugged.

'Uh… I probably can't help you at that time because I will…'

'You should fight your battle. Only you can help yourself in that battle, so Good Luck. I will be waiting for you.'

'Yes.'

'Then we will go to the beach again tomorrow.'

'Understood.'

After conversing with texts, they nodded and walked back to their hotel.

…

Meanwhile, Kai and the others had changed their clothes and enjoyed their dinner in the private garden.

"Still… To think there was a thief that dared to steal from you, she had picked the wrong opponent." Michelle laughed.

Kai looked at her and nodded. He didn't utter a single word as if he had something in his mind.

"That's right. Luckily, she is not going to jail because we are on vacation. Though I can understand why there is a thief around this area. After all, this place is filled with rich people." Isabelle nodded.

"True enough. If I am a thief with high skill, I will surely go around this area." Evan nodded in agreement.

Tasha, who usually commented, stayed quiet and observed how the situation unfolded.

Kai paused for a moment and sighed. "Don't you think that she was too high-skilled? I mean, she managed to steal my wallet without anyone noticing and you guys are proud of yourselves as being powerful students in the academy? If she stole something important from you guys, what would you do?"

They were stunned and wanted to be angry. However, what Kai said was true. Even Michelle and Isabelle looked down. Tasha finally broke her silence and asked. "Your words… Don't seem to be light. Why do you think about her skill?"

"I have nothing other than a bad feeling about our trip here. I feel like there is something going on, but I have no proof." Kai sighed. "There was this hotel staff while this girl suddenly appeared in this place. Although I could see she could steal in this rich area, I can't just see the reason for such a high-skilled person to choose us.

"It is harder to steal from many people, or you can say the risk is not worth the effort, especially if she only wants a single person's wallet. It's better to steal one from a single person or two. And can't you see how big the road was and how she purposely came to our way? Everything looked staged but not for stealing." Kai's expression turned grim.

Michelle and the others became serious as they recalled everything from the beginning.

"Anyway, this is a vacation. Our priority is to enjoy ourselves. As long as we keep vigilant, the other parties wouldn't try anything funny against the ten of us, unless they have an army." Kai clapped his hand, trying to soothe the situation again.

"That's right. Because you all are busy with a talk like this that you forget we are grilling the meats. Anyway, I have put them on the plates there, so have a good meal." Michelle nodded and pointed her finger toward the plates on the table before she continued cooking the meats and vegetables.

Kai took one of the plates and started eating, so the others could start as well.

The others started eating, and the situation finally became cheerful again. Kai was feeding Michelle, who was busy cooking, while Tasha said she would do it. Michelle then flaunted on how she had been trained by a famous chef, and Tasha could do nothing because it was indeed far more delicious than her.

Ayaka was giggling on the sideline as she watched how these three acted. The twins were feeding each other while Tommy and Nicholas had a drink a bit farther from them.

Meanwhile, Isabelle was stealing Evan's meat the whole time, leaving the person with nothing but vegetables.

It was an enjoyable feast, and the group finally decided to go back to their rooms after having some fun.

…

When they arrived at their rooms, Kai was taking a bath while Ayaka was buying a drink. Meanwhile, Michelle walked to the balcony outside their room. She found Tasha, who was looking at her communication device intensely. "Tasha, what are you doing?"

Tasha turned around and smiled. "Nothing. I am just taking a breather from earlier."

"True enough. Although we don't know if it's only Kai's feelings or it's actually real, we should stay sharp." Michelle sighed and reflected her action. "I just want a normal vacation where I don't need to think about this complicated thing, but it seems I have made trouble for Kai."

"Haha. It's fine to relax like that. I also want it!" Tasha chuckled. "Still, I feel like this trip is going to be horrendous."

"True enough. The only thing I want to know is… Who is their target?"

"The first name that came to our mind would obviously be Kai. You must know it, right?"

"Yeah. But we shouldn't focus on only him and see the bigger picture. There is also a chance of Evan being the target too. Remember when we were searching for the terrorist back then?"

"Of course." Tasha nodded. "Anyway, we shall enjoy ourselves while still sharp to our surroundings. We don't want them to take advantage of our situation after all. You hear me too, right, Kai? We are here to enjoy ourselves, so think about it as a secondary. Don't forget four of us will have a date starting from tomorrow."

Michelle smiled and closed her eyes as she took a seat and relaxed. At the same time, Kai also smiled while showering.

…

Inside a small house in Philadelphia,

A man wearing a white laboratory coat laughed. "Haha… This week is going to be a happy one. I have made the necessary preparation to finally surpass her."

"Don't be happy too early. You still have many jobs to do. And don't you dare to underestimate them." A person behind him said. This person could appear like anything but human. He had a weird body built while holding his golden trident.

"If I manage to kill Kai Carter, I can get a bottle of your blood, right? Or if I can kill his friends or girls, I can get another bottle, right?" This green-haired guy looked back and smiled evilly.

"We never break our promise. As long as you can do it, the blood is yours."

"Great. Great!" He hugged himself as if he was horny before he looked at the ceiling like he was in ecstasy. "If I have that much blood, my research will surpass her. Haha! Just you wait! In five years, all of my achievements will replace yours, Ria Ross!"
