After hearing Randall's words, the other end of the line went silent for a long time.
It took more than ten seconds before he heard a sharp intake of breath.
"Kid, what did you say? Say that again?"
"I said Charlotte Linlin is dead. I killed her.
"Man, it wasn't until I got here that I realized the person who hired the assassin wasn't Charlotte Linlin, but her dear son.
"So I originally only wanted to kill the person responsible, but Charlotte Linlin wouldn't let me.
"I had no choice but to kill her."
Randall sounded helpless.
"Kid, you... you're fucking incredible!"
After struggling for a long time, that was all Zephyr managed to spit out.
Just listen to that tone. You're practically begging for a beating. You killed one of the Three Emperors, and somehow you sound annoyed about it?
Damn it! Do you have any idea what this means?
Randall chuckled sheepishly.
"Where are you now, kid?"
After a long silence, Zephyr asked.
"Still in Totto Land Waters, heading toward the G-1 branch."
"Then stay where you are for now and maintain order in Totto Land.
"No, you're not cut out for that. Never mind, just come back to Headquarters first."
Zephyr spoke wearily.
Hearing that immediately stirred Randall's rebellious streak.
Who says I can't do it?
But on second thought, he realized Zephyr was right.
He was very good at tearing Totto Land apart, but maintaining order? Better forget it.
"Okay!"
Randall hung up, changed direction, and flew toward Headquarters.
After hanging up, Zephyr stood dazed for a while, then threw back his head and laughed.
At last, he walked out of the courtyard, feeling refreshed from head to toe.
Before long, Sengoku's startled shriek rang out from the Fleet Admiral's Office.
"WHAT?!" His voice cracked.
Sengoku
