Atsuo leaned back in his chair as Carter and the Invokers arrived in his bunker.
"We finally meet, Zeneros Blackburn." Atsuo said.
"Hello, President Nakamura." Carter nodded.
"I saw what you did out there. You cleaned an entire army of Terrors by yourself. How unsettling..." Atsuo said.
The white swordsman raised an eyebrow. The tension between the leader of an entire continent and the strongest man in this world grew.
Piper let out a dry laugh and tried to dissolve the situation.
"The more powerful he is, the better for us. Right?" Piper said.
"Indeed." Atsuo nodded. "May I ask. What took you so long?"
"There are other forces out there. Forces that endanger this world. I was busy dealing with them."
"I thought you were investigating the Gold Stream?" Atsuo tried to poke holes in Carter's lies.
"I did. But it seems like you are having a problem with me, President Nakamura. Why?"
