The Magician of Sound

Kai was already aware that there were many parties that came to Miami at this particular time, but he didn't want the girls to be disappointed and returned without having fun. Hence, he asked Michelle and the others to choose the places they wanted to visit and followed the schedule. He simply wanted to trap the other parties to make a move first and destroy them.

The next day, they went inside the car with another hotel staff that was supposed to be their driver for today. Kai was curious about where the previous hotel staff was. After all, he was very suspicious, at least, for Kai.

Kai let out a sigh of relief when he realized there was nothing wrong with the new staff this time, so he kept his calm and played with the others.

The chattering filled the car for an hour before they arrived at their first destination. Like how students would behave, they were enjoying everything and walked around the street while admiring the different types of beauty from their homes.

Picture after picture was taken, and it was a great time for them. They went from one place to another place and took some pictures and enjoyed the food. The Eagle Group also had fun on this trip, which was excellent, and somehow Evan was closer to the Eagle Group on this whole trip… Not that he cared though. After all, his hand was full of the girls, while Young Family and Fisher Family wanted them to become a couple.

Kai ignored them and enjoyed his date with the girls.

Little did they know that there were two people who got frustrated after miscalculating their plan.

"Kh! To think he changed his plan as soon as he met us." Sofia had undone her mimicking ability and let loose her white hair while slamming the table.

"I don't think they are changing their plan. I mean, this city is highly known because of their beach, but playing on the beach for days will make them bored. That's why they might want to see around the area first before coming back to the beach."

Sofia pouted.

"Although Young Lady has learned about mimicking ability and has a high skill on espionage, reconnaissance is still your weakness. That's why I will try to search for him after this and speculate their next course. Of course, I will be careful not to have him spot me… I might probably only use the cameras around the city."

"That's good. As expected of my Julia." Sofia nodded with a smile.

"Haha… By the way, he must be suspicious of your identity, Young Lady." Julia said as she worried about her.

"Don't worry. I purposely did that because I wanted him to notice me. You could say that I intentionally throw the bait while risking my fishing rod to get dragged into the sea by the big fish." She smirked.

"Since you have calculated and thought about your action, then I will stop worrying about it." Julia sighed.

Sofia gave a thumb up. "Anyway, your Father is the representative this time, so do you want to meet him later? I think he will reach this base in four days, right?"

"Yeah… But I don't plan to meet him." Julia shook her head. "Unlike Young Lady, my family doesn't need me, and I had been living a miserable life before Young Lady asked me to be your attendant. That's why if I can really become a Zodiac, I will still be a part of the Campbell Family, not Pearson Family."

Julia recalled where her family abandoned her and sighed.

Sofia scratched her head, thinking she just asked an unnecessary question. "I am glad to have you as my attendant, and I really mean it. You might not have a powerful strength right now, but that's why we are going for the Zodiac. If I am not wrong, the blood is coming from a scorpion and the ability you will get most likely to be a Sand Manipulation.

"I hope you can level up your Earth Element Magic and increase your Magic Power. At the very least, you should reach B rank or A rank."

Julia smiled genuinely in front of Sofia. After her mother died, her father looked as if he hated her. It was simply because she reminded him of her mother that he loved so much. Her death was very painful to him to the point he wanted to forget her. That was why she never met her father after that and ran away from home. Along with her measly E rank, no one cared about her as all her brothers and sisters were C rank magician at the lowest.

And only after becoming Sofia's attendant that she finally restored her life. Julia felt she could endure everything, including all the pains of training and the pain she would feel later for Sofia. Sofia herself didn't really have an attack power other than her magic or using her Exoskeleton, that was why she became her role model. She wanted to be like Sofia and assisted her whenever she needed her.

"Yes. I will do my best, Young Lady." Julia smiled.

"Come on, I told you to call me Sofia in this base to make sure no one suspicious of our identities." Sofia crossed her arms.

"Sorry, Sofia." Julia smiled before looking at her screen. "I will start searching for them by hacking the city defense."

"Sure." Sophia nodded with a big smile.

If only Evan knew about this, he might be able to repel her or track her down. Unfortunately, there was no big expert like him in this city as most of them were working under the Central Government.

That was why Julia could get free rein in this place.

…

Two days later, they finally had finished their tour around the city and decided to go to one of the famous markets. They found this place yesterday and decided to buy their souvenirs here.

Kai was smiling all the time while shopping around the marketplace. Of course, the money came from their own pocket. With so many big missions they completed, they had no money problem right now.

Suddenly, Kai met a girl in front of the street, staring at him mysteriously. He didn't chase her away and ignored her, but the moment he learned her heartbeat and other things, he realized that the girl had the same sound as the thief he met in front of the hotel.

Unlike the previous golden-haired girl, the girl had long blue hair running through her back. Kai only took a few seconds to realize and quickly tracked her down with his ears.

"Sorry girls, I need to go to the toilet for a bit." Kai waved his hand and disappeared.

The girls couldn't react at all before they looked at each other and decided to continue shopping since Kai would call them if he needed help.

Meanwhile, Kai was following the blue-haired girl until she invited him into a dark alley.

He walked slowly toward her as his footsteps echoed inside this narrow alley. "So, what is the purpose of you following me?"

"What are you talking about?" The girl turned around and smiled innocently. "You are the one following me. Are you planning to rape me in this dark alley?"

Kai looked at her eyes for a few seconds and let out a long sigh. "Put down your pretense. I know that you are the same person as the golden-haired thief that I met a few days ago. Do you think I won't notice? No, I should say you shouldn't underestimate me."

The girl sweatdropped as she finally realized how terrifying Kai's hearing was.

Hearing her heart skipped a beat, Kai continued, "Still, the ability to mimic someone's face… That is really convenient, even more so when your voice is also changed. Unfortunately, I can still find some similarities with your voice a few days ago. So, just drop your pretense, Sofia Campbell, no, Gemini."

She smiled and clapped her hands. "Truly remarkable, Kai Carter. To think that you are still beyond the report that I read, really impressive."

She wanted to play innocent for a while, but she realized it would just make him mad because there was no point. She decided to reveal her identity and undid her ability.

Her hair turned to white as her silver eyes looked at Kai intensely. Coupled with her fresh short-sleeved white shirt and black mini skirt, she looked as pretty as Michelle and the others.

"Nice to meet you, the first-ever Zodiac, Leo, Kai Carter." She bowed her head and lifted her skirt a little bit as a noble courtesy.

"I believe the schedule is asking you to come in two days from now?" Kai squinted his eyes.

"There is nothing wrong with me coming here ahead of schedule, right? The money also came from my own pocket." Sofia smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"So, you wasted that much money to stalk me? Your life is indeed a luxury."

"Hoho… I won't take it that way, but it's certainly a luxury. You can enjoy this type of luxury too, you know." Sofia indirectly admitted her intention by not answering his question.

"I don't need that kind of luxury." Kai shook his head. He didn't reject the luxury, but the restrictions of that luxury. He didn't want to trade his freedom with that, especially if he needed to leave Michelle and the others behind.

"It seems Mr. Kai Carter has a problem with this?"

"That is not something I should share with an outsider." Kai waved his hand calmly.

"Indeed. I am only an outsider right now. But…" She suddenly appeared right in front of Kai and threw her fist right on his abdomen.

Kai looked at her coldly and…

*Bam!*
