[color=00aeef]The City of Phnom Penh - 11/11/2022[/color]



[color=00aeef][i]The convention had barely started and already they're declaring war.[/i][/color]

Noel gave another nod of acknowledgment, before saying to Henri, "Volunteer Janssens, keep close to us and ready your Noble Arm for use at any time. An Avatar of Superbia is pure energy so your Arm can probably instantly dispel it. Now, we will wait for the Cambodian security detail to meet to coordinate with them and prevent any more [i]untoward incidents[/i] from happening."[/quote]

[color=00aeef]"Yes, Sir![/color] Henri confirmed, giving a short salute in confirmation. Kid or not, he was right. Henri needed to be, where he could maximise his shield's power.

People kept piling in, from military personnel to ambassadors and relevant assistance personnel. Henri, however, tried not to lose Noel in the crowds, while at the same time avoiding drawing attention. Henri wasn't exactly sure, how high profile he or his power was, but considering he had taken part in battles with his neutralization ability, he probably wasn't unknown by any means. 

Most of the conversations and newsfeeds flew past Henri's thoughts, but he could feel his heart stop, after hearing of Angelito Jaime's death.

They had asked him for help. Henri knew that Leonidas wouldn't have been sufficient to be of use, but he couldn't help but feel he should have done something, anything. Now a legend and a living deterrent had passed away.

[color=00aeef][i]Thirty lousy seconds[/i][/color] Henri cursed to himself the time limit of his shield. [color=00aeef][i]If only it would suffice at least against this Superbia[/i][/color] 

Not that it would be much help, now that so much mobility had been lost with Jaime.

But no point crying over spilt milk. The conference was ongoing and order to be kept. Henri continued to keep a close eye on the Lieutenant and the surroundings.
