The atmosphere turned chilly as they appeared in the middle of nowhere. All directions were covered with plain white snow that seemed to have never been contaminated by any human activities.

"It's becoming chilly right now." Michelle sighed. "Luckily, we have prepared for it by wearing these warm clothes."

"Anyway, it's not like we are here to sightsee." Kai shrugged and closed his eyes, listening to his surroundings.

He quickly teleported them to another place and did it several times because he couldn't really do a direct one without enough information. The defense of this place would be far higher than the Ikeda Family after all.

The group got closer and closer before entering the city. This was the main city in Hokkaido, Sapporo, so he needed to be extra careful to differentiate which ones were his enemies and which were not.

Kai ended up teleporting them above a quite tall building where they could move around without anyone looking at them. After all, there was supposed to be no one on the roof at this point other than for surveillance purposes.

"Big Brother, is there a reason why we don't take the highest building here?" Felice asked with an innocent face, not understanding why Kai chose a four stories building even though there were a few taller buildings a bit farther from them.

"Two reasons." Kai raised two fingers. "First, the tallest building may not be a good place to scout your enemy because it has a unique point of view, making your enemy aware of your position right away. For example, if you are a sniper and you attack someone from the tallest building, what will your enemy do?"

"The elevation will be too high, so it's easy to pinpoint the direction of the bullet, making my position known within seconds. Ah, I see. So, even though the tallest building gives us advantages, sometimes, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

"Correct."

"But you have your Teleportation Magic."

"It's as simple as covering your tracks, not letting your enemy get any information about you. The enemy has Space Jamming Equipment, so we may destroy it first before we can escape. Also, if the enemy knows you have a Space Magician in your rank, they will tighten their security to the utmost limit, making the situation even more unpredictable."

Felice nodded with a serious expression, understanding Kai's explanation. "How about the second reason?"

"The second reason is to camouflage this position." He then pointed in two directions, their front and back at the same time.

"Take a look at our position."

Felice turned to the left and saw a smaller building before her. After that, she took another look at the opposite directions, finding two taller buildings in succession. And one of them was also under construction.

"I feel like I understand what Big Brother wants, but I can't explain what it is."

"With one smaller building in front of us, it will be the start of their searching area. With this kind of trajectory, they need to suspect this building along with the other two behind us.

"Because of the ridiculously tall building, they will think we are inside. This will surely make them think twice whether we were inside or not. And there was also a construction site, so it easily became a doubt in their hearts. No one supervises this building after all." Kai smiled and explained carefully.

Felice kept absorbing the knowledge. She seemed to have learned a lot, even though it was just one question.

"Alright. I have checked our surroundings. First, our target is three kilometers in our northeast, so we will infiltrate their mansion within a few minutes. Second, I want all of you to stay here while maintaining surveillance. I need to help the Ikeda Family first."

"We understand." Michelle nodded and pointed at Felice. "We will try to answer all her questions too."

"Alright. Thanks." Kai nodded with a smile as he checked his clock once again.

9:58 PM.

It was one more minute from the promised time, so he quickly used his Teleportation Magic to send him to another place according to Kenzo's instruction.

He had promised to teleport all the Ikeda Family members in this territory after all.

As soon as he arrived in a field filled with snow, Kai quickly checked his surroundings while looking at the screen, finding he was supposed to be in the right place.

It took him a second before finding those people that seemed to be stationed fifty meters away from him. He quickly used his Sound Blast to them and found a total of fifteen people.

"Who—" When one of them was about to alarm the others, she recognized Kai's face and stopped. "Kai Carter."

"I am here to teleport you away." Kai nodded with a serious expression and asked, "Is this all?"

"Yes. This is all of us in this area," she answered hurriedly.

"That's good." Kai then used his Teleportation Magic to send them back to Ikeda Family's mansion while checking Kudo Tarou's condition, making sure Kenzo didn't betray him.

After confirming his situation, Kai teleported again, heading to multiple places to meet them and taking them back to the Ikeda Family's mansion.

It took him ten minutes to transport all of them, but before he returned to his team to raid the Katsuragi Family's mansion, he chose to visit Kudo Tarou.

Noticing his presence, Tarou raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked with a smile. "Do you need anything from me?"

Kai took a deep breath and asked with a serious expression. "I would like to bring you away from this place."

"Ho?"

"Although I can see why there is no need to bring you out of this place, I can't trust my enemy even if he has switched sides. Leaving you earlier is a part of my plan because I want all of them to think you are here."

"With this plan, I will be safe from the danger." He smiled.

"Yes. I apologize for not consulting you first and talk to the others."

"To fool your enemy, you need to fool your ally. I can understand what you did there." Tarou thought for a moment and nodded. "I understand. Since this is a request from my grandson-in-law, I will leave this place."

"That's good. I will send you to a hotel in Osaka, the place that has yet to become a battlefield. I will bring you back in two days."

"Sure. I can stay quiet during those two days."

"Thank you." Kai smiled.

"Before that, I want to ask you something. How far are you planning to go this time?"

"It won't be too big. I will stop after the Katsuragi Family is weak enough to decline. However, I shall not harm innocent people to the best of my ability."

"Hearing it makes me feel relieved. I am happy that you are avenging me and your fate back then, but I don't wish to see a mass murderer before me."

"Don't worry. I may have claimed many people's lives with these hands, but everything is my form of retaliation. If they don't come for me, I won't come for them."

Tarou nodded. "I understand. Let's go then. I'm sure you don't want to leave for too long to make those girls worry, right?"

"Yes." Kai snapped his fingers as he summoned the Teleportation Magic Circle.
