Chapter 430 - Five Years Went By?
"W-Where did you get that?" She asked with her eyes wide open.
"Well...uh, it's mine?" Aiden replied, unsure what he was supposed to say.
Still, the car girl had a much stronger reaction than he had originally thought. She was completely mindblown.
"Then...are you saying that you're one of the higher-ups of the organization?"
Aiden continued what he was doing and replied with a nod. "Yes, I am."
After all, the organization was created because of him. He was already a higher-up, even if he hadn't joined it completely. Still, he had talked enough with this cat woman, and he needed to get a move on.
"Now that you know who I am. Would it be possible to contact Emma? She should be another higher-up within the organization."
The cat girl stayed silent for a few seconds. Aiden was simply too weird for her to deal with.

"Why aren't you using code names?"
"Well, I just returned after a very long mission, and I need to see Emma. Before I left, there weren't any name codes."
"Hm...I see. Then, I can get you in contact with her. However, there's a good chance she won't pick up. She's busy nowadays."
Aiden scoffed at her answer. He knew very well that Emma would pick up right away when she heard that he was back. She would also understand that it would be time to put an end to this war once and for all.
"It's no problem. Just tell her that Aiden is calling. She'll pick up."

Five minutes later, the girl was tapping on a phone and had to talk to a lot of people before finally reaching someone competent, who seemed to be asking for a lot of information from Darius.
Like his name, age, where he was, how strong Aiden is, and questions of that sort. It took a bit of time, but it seemed the person on the other side of the phone had finally managed to get in contact with Emma.
Aiden had done it. He would finally be able to talk to her after this long, long year where all he did was train. He couldn't wait to kick the ass of all those people who had looked down on them.
"I am. I'm here until we take over this fucking world."
Emma notices the anger in Aiden's voice, and she thinks that Aiden might not be the same as the one she knew before he left. A lot of time had passed, and there was a good chance that his training had been extremely rough for him.
Still, she smiled, hearing the sound of his voice. She hadn't heard it in a very long time, and hearing it for the very first time was extremely nice.
"W-Where are you now?"
"I read the note you left back in that cave. I'm in the Emberbane Territory. I thought I'd find you, but it seems like I was wrong."
"Right...that note. It's been so long. I don't even remember when I left it."
Aiden frowned. She seemed to think that many years had gone by for some reason when it had only been one year.
"How long has it been since I've gone to another world? One year, right?"
This time, Emma was the one who frowned.
"One year? I haven't heard the sound of your voice for at least five years."
Aiden blinked a few times, but he didn't move a single muscle. He must have misheard that. He just had to, right?
"R-Repeat what you just said."
"I haven't heard the sound of your voice for the past five years."
"That's impossible. I was only gone for one year. What are you even talking about?"
Aiden's voice rose up. He was angry with himself. He must have made a mistake. There was no way that he would be gone for so long, and he had no idea about it.
He had made sure to take only one single year. Did something happen?
He tried to think about his time in the dimension, but nothing came up. He had done everything correctly. He was sure of himself. Somebody must have played with him.
Aiden's guess was one of the five Gods...but he couldn't be sure. The Lumithars were a bunch of sneaky bastards.
"Whatever. Where are you? We need to end this war as soon as possible."
