Chapter 247: It’s Huge
Even though the SMD and the guilds weren’t able to produce a sufficient number of powerful superhumans to handle the Gate, they still had the Enforcers!
Liam spoke up quickly.
"I don’t think we should invite outsiders into our problems just yet. For now, let’s try and handle it on our own. Can you contact the Enforcers and ask them to send some S Rank commanders? If things get out of control, then it might be beneficial to have someone like Agiel or Luthor at hand."
Liam had been looking away from Florence while saying all this, so he didn’t see the way Florence began blushing as she stared at his handsome face absentmindedly! It wasn’t until she heard the last part of his sentence that she came back to reality, and she frowned at the fact that Liam was ordering her about! But she could see the sense in what he was saying, and she simply nodded and told him that she would reach out to them. The Director of the New York branch finally got off his call, and Liam turned to him and asked if there was really a Gate appearing. The Director spoke up gravely.
"The agents on the ground are predicting that it might be the largest Gate we’ve ever experienced in the past ten years. The magical reading is higher than anything they’ve ever recorded before. You have to get there as soon as possible."
The Director began to head out of the room, and both Liam and Florence followed after him. The SMD building was in a state of constant motion as the agents moved from one place to another. Many of them had terrified looks on their faces since they knew that this situation could end up eradicating their entire country if they didn’t handle it properly, but they were still trying their best to make sure all the documents and information were sorted as quickly as possible.
"Sir, over here."
An agent called on the three executives, and they turned to see a man and woman standing together. The man was the same SMD agent who had come to alert them about the appearance of the Gate, but the woman was a superhuman who worked with a guild. She was holding a staff with a gem on the tip that amplified her magic, and she had a serious look on her face as she nodded to Liam and the others. Liam asked the man what was going on and the man gestured to the woman whilst talking.
"I asked for Madam Gwen’s help with transportation. Her Gift allows her to transport people over long distances, so she can get you to the Gate location quickly."
Liam turned to Madam Gwen in surprise and the woman nodded to them respectfully before speaking up.
"My Gift only allows me to transport people to places that I’ve marked out before. Luckily, I already marked this building before I went to the Gate location, so I can move between both places as long as I have the mana to fuel the travel. You might feel a little disoriented for a few seconds after the transport, but you don’t need to worry. It’s perfectly safe and you’ll go back to normal after you calm down."
