Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 544: The Alpha Squad

The president gave Henry a nod, and Henry nodded back before the president made an announcement.

"From this day onwards, this team will be part of a new government unit tasked with ensuring a disaster like this never occurs again. They shall oversee and regulate the activities of government agencies and guilds in the country and ensure the safety of the people. Alec Ben shall be the head, and Henry Ford shall be the liaison of the new ALPHA SQUAD!"

Cheers rang out from the people as they all clapped once more!

Right now, the president was expertly feeding off the survivalist mentality of the American people. Those who survived the rampage and the ensuing damage done by the anima felt so grateful to be alive that they were clinging to any form of hope and protection they could take.

They didn’t even bother feeling skeptical about the Alpha Squad or what this would mean for them, and those who did feel skeptical were swept up in the jubilations of the others and decided it wasn’t something worth bothering about. They should just be happy to be alive and that they were going to be safe for now.

Luna scowled as she turned off the television and threw the remote away. Luna didn’t know much about Henry, but she didn’t remember ever seeing him on the battlefield when they were all fighting for their lives. The mere fact that the president was trying to paint him as the real hero, along with his ALPHA squad, left a bad taste in her mouth. But Luna didn’t care enough to do anything about it.@@@@

Luna knew almost better than anyone else just what sort of person Henry was, and she could already guess that Henry put all of this in motion himself so that he could gain more power in the country through the chaos. Henry had never kept it hidden from the SOVEREIGNS that he didn’t fully trust them.

There was always this wall between the SOVEREIGNS and the rest of the government because of how difficult it was for the government to control them.

Mark handed Fiona’s corpse to Tylor and told him to prepare a burial in secret.

"I’ll come pay my respects once it’s ready. Just make sure it’s nothing big, close friends and family only. She wanted that much."

That was what Mark said to Tylor before leaving the building with Arit, Luna, and Talia. Jeanne went off to find Pat and make sure that he was okay while Mark and the rest of them made their way to Luna’s mansion in the helicopter that arrived.

That had been earlier in the evening, and now they were all in Luna’s place. Talia had gone to bed earlier since she was tired from everything that happened, and Luna had no idea where Arit or Mark were. Luna also went to get some sleep once they arrived since she was completely drained from all the fighting, and when she woke up, she couldn’t find Arit or Mark anywhere.

The mansion was so large that she knew she might not be able to find them even if she walked through all the rooms for an hour. Luna could just use her senses to locate them, but she was currently too tired to try that, and besides, Luna knew that it might be an invasion of their privacy.

’They’re probably together.’

Luna drew her legs up to the couch and put her chin on her knees as she sighed tiredly. Luna knew that a lot had happened in the time since she spoke to Arit about her offer, but a small part of Luna couldn’t help but wonder what Arit thought about it. Arit never gave her an answer before Sasha attacked them, so it was still up in the air.

’Is she okay with it? Or maybe she changed her mind after Mark came back. I want to ask her, but I don’t want to hear what she’ll say in case I don’t like it. I might not be able to bear it if she says no.’

Luna was desperate for a sign from Arit, but she hadn’t had any time to talk to Arit since the fighting ended. Luna sighed again and started to change the channels on the television to try and find a cartoon or anime to watch, but a voice from behind her made her pause.

"Luna."
