Chapter 1076: The President's Daughter (2)
Erik and the Chimaeric Demon in charge of the operation left the building. A cool-looking flying car hovered nearby, waiting to pick Erik and the Chimaeric Demon. The others were already there.
An operation like this required lots of time and preparation, and since there were guards, workers, and people with Veritas Lenses, they needed to take care of that first.
Besides, they had to get a hold over the control tower because it was there that news about arriving planes got first.
If there was a change of schedule, a change of plans on the enemy side, it would get there first.
"Your transport is ready, Master," the Chimaeric Demon said, gesturing towards the flying car.
Erik nodded. A door slid open, revealing a luxurious interior. How the Chimaeric Demons got the car was a mystery. It was probably stolen, but at this point Erik didn't care. He climbed in, settling into the plush seat as the Chimaeric Demon took the pilot's position.
"Set course for the airport."
The flying car started up with a soft hum. Its special engines lifted it into the air. As they flew higher, the buildings below looked smaller and smaller.
Erik often wondered if he was going too far. After all, going to the extreme of replacing governments' leaders was not something anyone could or would do. It was morally bad, and for years, Erik only had his morality.
There was one thing he knew, though. That after defeating the blackguards, Becker might see him as dangerous and want to get rid of him. The trust they had built would fall apart.
Erik's plans to take control of governments were making things worse. He thought these actions were necessary to fight the blackguards, but others might see them as Erik abusing his power.
He worried that the people who once supported him might become his enemies in the future. At that point, what would Amber and Emily do? Stand with their parents, or join him, turning their backs on humanity?
Erik had no intention of abusing power once he gained control. He just wanted to eradicate the blackguards and their influence, then step back, retreat into some hidden part of the world, make a farm, and live a simple life, hopefully with the three women with him. Having kids, bringing them to school, the usual.
Erik worried that his plan for a peaceful life after defeating the blackguards might not be possible.
He realized that his current actions and growing power could make it hard for him to just disappear and live a normal life later.
He thought the world might not let him go easily once they knew what he could do and what he did to achieve the peace, he would gift everyone. This made Erik feel even more troubled about his situation.
Erik tried to calm his racing thoughts and focus on the task ahead. He knew he couldn't let his doubts and worries distract him now.
The current mission was too important since a lot depended on it. He took a deep breath and pushed his mixed feelings aside.
He couldn't let his personal struggles get in the way of their plan. There was too much at stake to lose focus now.
