Chapter 599 - Post War
Four months later.
In South Carolina, near Rapa Nui Hill, stood tall a colossal building. There was a sign on top of it, saying, "Great War Museum."
A middle-aged man was walking inside the museum with a seven years old boy who was looking around with great curiosity.
Suddenly, they stopped upon a picture.
It was a picture of Argentina\'s newest lake. The lake had a size of one thousand square kilometers.
"Father… Why is there a lake here? I don\'t think it\'s irrelevant…" The boy furrowed his eyebrows, staring at his father.
"Haha, you\'re wrong. This is called Katune Lake. Its name derived from the fight between Kai Carter and Neptune. According to the story, Kai Carter was the one who created that lake."
"What? A lake this big? Can someone do that?" The boy opened his mouth in surprise.
"Hoho, of course. Kai Carter is the strongest person in the world. Back then, he fought humanity\'s greatest enemy, Neptune. I participated in that fight from the very start. I saw how Neptune called forth a tsunami and flooded the entire South Carolina.
"He could even massacre humanity at an unprecedented level with just a wave of his staff. Even so, everything changed when Kai Carter arrived. He repelled the rain and dispersed the cloud by using single magic. After that, he carried Neptune to Argentina, so he didn\'t injure any other people.
"In that battle, Kai Carter could create a flatland in a one-mile radius with a swing of his sword. And to kill Neptune, he created a punch that could be categorized as one of the worst natural disasters. That punch was at the scale of a Supervolcano eruption.
"The sound traveled thousands of miles away and created a crater this big which later turned into a lake."
"The sound!" The kid gasped and said, "Was the sound…"
"Yeah. It was the sound you heard back then. The sound even traveled across the sea and reached United Asia and EU Base a few hours later.
"Back then, I was too shocked because before the sound reached the battlefield, Kai had returned triumph. However, he also suffered a heavy injury at that time." He pointed at Kai\'s statue next to them. "Look at his foot and left arm. That only reflects a small portion of his injury."
"Father. He is so cool!" The boy\'s eyes brightened.
"Of course. He is not called the hero for nothing. The battle\'s recordings are for everyone to see. The girls have become the role models for many people who wish to get stronger in the academy or military." He smiled.
"I also want to be like them."
"Haha." The father patted his son\'s head with a gentle smile. "Work hard. I believe you can do it."
"Yes." He nodded furiously before a certain question appeared in his mind. "That\'s right. Where is he?"
"Hmmm…" The father contemplated while looking at the ceiling. "He is rumored to get married right now. But no one knew about its details. From the rumors, Kai Carter doesn\'t like to get his private life invaded, so not many people can attend it.
"Though I believe generals, his close friends and family are there. This is why I bring you here to learn all this. I would like to pay respect for the sacrifice he has made to repel the enemies along with all other fallen soldiers." He smiled.
…
As he said, Kai was holding his marriage this time. After a long period of recovery, Kai was finally ready to marry his girls.
Michelle became the clingiest one that stuck to him most of the time after seeing his injuries. She took care of him, making sure he could recover despite having no right foot and left arm.
To fix his body, Ria and Felice collaborated with each other, trying to make prosthetic limbs that could feel like the real hand and could function the same like his right hand.
On the other hand, Ayaka and Haruko worked together in planning everything about their marriages. They made sure everything went smoothly, from the party to the dress.
Surprisingly, Kai also accepted Leah as his wife. She had been part of the family since a year ago and became busy taking care of her parents and settled all sorts of business they had.
Sofia handled all sorts of interviews about Kai\'s condition and his life. In other words, she was Carter Family\'s spokesperson.
Meanwhile, Tasha continued being with their parents because they broke apart when they saw Kai\'s injuries on the battlefield. They always blamed themselves even though the condition wasn\'t related to them. She was there until everything returned to normal.
Finally, after a long recovery process and preparation, Kai held their marriage.
From the US Base, they sent President Brent and a few generals that Kai had seen like Ethan, Jose, and Paolo.
From the EU Base, Marsha and Roselyn came and congratulated him for his marriage.
United Asia also sent their Prime Minister and the South Family\'s representative to congratulate him.
Of course, the Yajima Family and the Campbell family also visited the US Base. They finally met with the rest of the families, such as the Graham Family, the Kudo Family, and Arba, who became Leah\'s guardian.
Surprisingly, there was a certain table that gave off a weird feeling. That table had Ayaka\'s grandfather, Sofia\'s grandfather, Michele\'s grandfather, and Kai\'s father. They talked like they had been friends for more than ten years.
Still, compared to Kai\'s status as a hero, there were only a total of a hundred people attending this marriage. It might be small, but it was certainly the most important marriage in the world.
After that marriage, Kai and his family mysteriously disappeared from the world\'s eyes, not wanting to get their private life invaded. And none of the world leaders mentioned anything about Kai\'s whereabouts.
Kai\'s name then resounded across the world for a long time. His mysterious disappearance elevated his status even further as he became a global role model.
All three bases only said, "When the world needs a hero, he will appear."
