亚瑟影院

The thick hazy smoke that surrounded the area vanished along with the mysterious beast tamer. Everyone stared at the portal, wide-eyed, as the portal that the beast tamer effortlessly manifested closed up in an instant. Satoshi was the first one to let out a gasp before he heaved a sigh of relief. His bluff worked, and as he expected, the representative which was allied with the beast tamer was more careful than he initially assumed.

Emma\'s reaction was the polar opposite of Satoshi though. She was surprised that a beast tamer could actually use her superpowers and he had delicate control at that. Her gaze then shifted towards Satoshi and he wondered if Satoshi was as strong as the beast master they\'d met. In terms of experience, she could tell that the beast tamer was better than Satoshi, but Satoshi holds an even greater potential since he upgrades every beast he tames.

"How about my son?!" Their thoughts were then interrupted by the screaming Jean Grey as he lost his composure. He was expecting the beast tamer to return his son but as it turned out, he didn\'t do anything about it. In fact, he concluded that the beast tamer actually forgot that he kidnapped his son, and he left without addressing it. Just like that, in a snap of a finger, he disappeared from view and there were no signs of Ash Grey at all.

Ring. Ring.

Riiiiiing~!

"I think you should take that, Jean." Jack Michael (aka the Star-Spangled, number one superhero in America) called out as they heard Jean\'s cellphone ring from his pockets. Jean was so shocked about the recent turn of events that he didn\'t even notice his phone ringing had it not been for Jack calling it out.

"Ah, right," Jean muttered, answering the call before even looking at the name of the caller.

"Hello, dear?" Turns out, it was Dahlia Grey who was calling on the other end of the line. "Ash just got home, apparently he stopped by somewhere after he went to the research center."

"Is that so?" Jean heaved a sigh of relief as he jumped in place. He couldn\'t contain the relief that overcame him. "I guess I was worried for nothing. I\'ll be heading home soon, would it be all right if I brought company? Jack and his friends are with me right now." Jean said to himself, smiling.

"Sure, do you want me to cook dinner, or are we ordering takeout?" Dahlia calmly responded. She was used to her husband bringing Jack along so she didn\'t worry about him bringing more friends.

"We can just order, but it would be nice if they could all taste your cooking. Just cook what you can and then we\'ll order on the way over there."

"Oh, okay, see you soon. Love you," Dahlia continued.

"Yup, love you," With a click, Jean hang up on the phone. His gaze then moved towards the group who were invited to breakfast out of nowhere. "And there you have it, apparently, we\'re going to have breakfast at our place."

.....

The man wearing the black cape and the hood sauntered towards a building without speaking a word. His face wore the most serious of his expressions as a black mist appeared beside him. Once he got in front of the building, his aura suddenly changed. His cape and hood shifted into a pristine white color. Even the smoke that rose beside him turned a nice shade of white. A split second later, a huge white wolf appeared from the smoke, letting out a howl as it announced its presence.

"It\'s the hero White Mist!"

"White Mist! Please look here!"

"I\'m here right now, live! And White Mist just showed up!"

"It\'s White Mist in the flesh! What is he doing here?"

White Mist\'s aura lightened as he raised his hands to wave at the people who flocked him in an instant. He pulled out a pen from his pockets and started giving out autographs as if that was a normal thing to do. A few moments ago, he was right by the Beast Dimension, trying to kill someone while arranging a false kidnapping. And right now, here he was, in the real world, in front of the Empire State Building.

"Here you go. And here you go. And here you go." He repeated, calmly signing all the autographs. He was used to the attention so it didn\'t really overwhelm him. After all, he\'s one of the most powerful superheroes in America, his home country. He\'s one of the Ten Men, a group of male superheroes that make up the top ten in America. In America, the rankings are separate for men and women so it\'s easier to distinguish the ranks of each superhero easily. There were various complaints from some people saying that the ranking system didn\'t really work that well in favor of the female superheroes, and so the government then decided to separate the rankings altogether.

This was what the masses wanted, and now that they have it, they couldn\'t really complain about it. Of course, it separated the rankings and made the gap between the male and female superheroes even further, but then again, there was nothing the majority could do since they asked for it.

"Sir White Mist, the President is waiting for you."

Unlike Japan, America is more streamlined when it comes to dealing with superheroes. They weren\'t under any associations, nothing of the sort. Instead, they\'re directly under the American Government. This way, there won\'t be opposing decisions when it comes to superheroes and in turn, the government is responsible for everything related to superheroes. While it has its pros and cons, it worked better than what the American Government expected so they stuck to the system.

Still wearing the fake smile, a facade he always wore in front of the people, White Mist waved his hand to the people for a second time before turning around to go inside the Empire State Building. The President went out of his way to go here for a meeting, and as it turned out it was White Mist who\'ll be meeting up with him.

At first, the guards stepped forward to stop White Mist\'s Wolf, but when the man who was ahead of White Wolf told them not to bother, they stepped aside and silently apologized. "The president had been waiting for you for at least half an hour now. Was there a miscalculation? Did something happen? I\'m pretty sure that task is simple for you, were you able to accomplish it?"

White Mist\'s face contorted into a disgusted frown as he looked down on the man. "Are you seriously asking me that right now? Of course, something happened! Why else would be in a foul mood for?"

"So you weren\'t able to kill the threat? I thought you said you\'ll be able to kill him easily. Perhaps you overestimated yourself a little bit too much?" The man continued asking.

"I did not, in any way, overestimated myself. And I don\'t need to tell you anything about the mission, thank you." White Mist angrily grunted as the man continued to lead him all the way to the huge elevator in the middle of the building.

Before he got in, he gestured that White Mist should go inside the elevator first. White mist obliged at the offer. Without saying anything, White Mist walked ahead of the guy and got into the elevator, with his tamed beast wolf walking right behind him. They felt an incredible tug as the White Wolf got in but the elevator was able to endure the weight of the large wolf.

"The president is waiting for you by the conference room. His meeting already finished half an hour ago so you can just go in without announcing your arrival." The man continued, writing something in his notebook as he conversed.

White Mist nodded.

Pretty soon, the elevator let out a loud ding as they reached their designated floor. White Mist, along with his wolf, walked out of the elevator and headed out before the man could even take the lead outside. Together, the two of them walked toward the room where the president was supposedly staying.

Creak.

"Who is it?" The president asked as White Mist used the tip of his shoe to push the door that led into the  conference room. Seeing him enter with a sour mood, the president didn\'t fail to greet him. "Ah, if it isn\'t White Mist. How did your mission go?"

"Mission? You\'re calling that a mission? I almost got killed out there! I thought we were going to get rid of the threat along with Star Spangled?"

"That\'s right... ? You just repeated the information regarding the mission, yes." The president confirmed, confused as to why the White Mist was angry.

"Then why on Earth is the number one superhero of Japan with them? I thought they were the only ones who knew each other?" White Mist pointed out, much to the president\'s surprise.
