Chapter 1006 Double-Edged Sword
"A hacker?" Theo widened his eyes as this one job piqued his interest.
"Yes." Millie nodded her head, showing him that she wouldn't freeload in this house.
"She learned it from my wife." Felix finally opened his mouth while sighing.
"Now that I think about it…" Theo looked down, falling into deep thought. Felix was an assassin. Marrying soone in his line of work was quite normal, so he shouldn't be surprised if Felix married a fellow assassin, an information broker, or even a hacker.
And it seed Millie had been taught by his wife and had so talents in it. He took out his Skylink and found the na of Albert Gonzalez. He was truly a notorious hacker, and his position was among the top.
Theo thought for a mont and said, "I see. That's kinda intriguing."
"Yes. I believe I can help you with so information gathering and other stuff." Millie nodded. "I'm not as good as an information broker, but I can hack so low-security websites to gain so information. Also, my skill is not there yet, but I can make a secure connection so that you can call anyone for a long ti without getting tapped."
"I see. A good potential indeed." Theo nodded with a serious expression.
"But my father was against it this whole ti because it's very dangerous. If I actually continued my career, I should be able to know the curse is coming…" She sighed.
"This is dangerous. Do you know that it's easy for you to get tracked and attacked by them? I have been working in this field for a long ti, so I know how bad it can be." Felix scratched the back of his head, reprimanding her.
Theo understood his worry, so he said, "Anyway, whatever job you want, I won't really restrict you. But you should know this one… Without power, you're nothing."
Millie fell silent and looked down with a sad expression.
Theo smiled and patted her shoulder, continuing, "That's why for now, you should get stronger first to the point your father doesn't need to worry about you anymore. At that ti, no one can stop you from doing anything you want."
Theo didn't stop her from having that kind of job. However, he also needed to take care of her like his father's wish.
Hence, he delayed that process for a bit while adding the security for herself. This should be enough for her father's approval.
"Mhm." Millie timidly nodded her head. She realized she hadn't thought that far and imdiately looked at her father. "Sorry, Father. Please teach how to beco stronger."
When he saw her acting like this, he couldn't help but nod his head. "I understand."
Theo smiled and waved his hand. "Your room is on the next floor. I have prepared two rooms next to each other."
"Thank you." Felix smiled. Once again, he felt grateful for Theo's kindness. It seed he didn't follow the wrong man.
Theo led them to their own room and left them alone.
Now that he had gained his first comrade, he planned to move to the next one.
As expected from a person who dealt with information, it was hard to find information about him. Even Agata only sent him a few pieces of information, confirming what Felix ntioned to him.
anwhile, Bernard sent more complete information, revealing when he started to change. It was said the information broker changed the mont he t the top expert in Australia.
That man ranked among the top 100 experts in the world, called Thomas Thompson. He was a powerful man with a fire affinity. It was said that his fla could burn everything.
With that just one case, Theo imdiately understood what that man sought from Thomas.
"Order…The power that's beyond everyone's imagination." Theo narrowed his eyes while scratching the back of his head. "Still, is it fine for to disclose that kind of information? I have promised to stay quiet about the Orders because it's a huge secret.
"Even the report stated he was disappointed because Thomas kept rejecting their eting afterward. Thomas seed to have kept the secret by maintaining the distance between them.
"The only reason he asked people to show their power was the different colors of Magic Power. My Magic Power has a golden color… But I have learned a technique to hide it.
"Unless I'm intentionally revealing it, no one will realize this color…" Theo narrowed his eyes. "But the fact he kept asking others to show their powers is bothering . There are two possible reasons.
"First, Thomas has weak control over the technique to hide his power, resulting in him finding the true color of the Magic Power. However, there is also a possibility of him having no technique to hide it.
"As for the second reason… He might purposely leak it while releasing his power, leading to the obsession. Either way, this is a double-edged sword for . Although it's true that I want soone loyal to , if they're going to put in danger, I need to carefully consider it.
"After all, one wrong move might lead the King Class Monsters as well as World Class Monsters hunting down." Theo sighed and looked at the symbols on his hands. "These symbols won't be enough to protect ."
Theo was wondering what he should choose. In the end, he believed it was not easy for him to uncover the Order, so he decided to wait for the ti being.
It was rare for soone to have an Order in this world, so there was a low chance for those people to co to the guy just to show their Order.
"Yeah. I shouldn't act recklessly even though I'm desperate to have more people." Theo scratched the back of his head. "I should focus on getting Isaac first. He should be in trouble right now because of the information… As for his breaking point, it should be on the trip to Atlantis… I'm looking forward to it."
