Chapter 1121 Theo's Reason
"You serious?" Christopher narrowed his eyes before looking down, falling into deep thought. 'Should I accept this? With how he acted, becoming his subordinate is impossible. I don't want to work for this brat.
'However, it's true that his words are not an empty threat. If he wants it, he can suppress in all aspects. And that weird power… I've never heard anything about that. I have watched that phenonal video where he defeated Winston since it blew up the Skynet… No, it must be the power that he used to fight against Winston's Space Barrier.
'He can even affect Space Elent, so he should be able to do the sa to . In other words, if I reject this guy, my entire life is over.
'But if I accept this agreent, I can still show that I'm still a trustworthy person. I'm 85 years old right now. 88 years old shouldn't be too old for to enjoy my life.
'In the anti, I can still find so plans to counter his plan. He's promised not to send to my death, so I can refuse his order. Although it ans I need so excuses, I can still get away from it as long as I deem it dangerous.
'Besides, he's still a rising star in this country. His progress is so fast that no one can believe it. That's why it's worth seeing what he will beco in three years. If he can't beco soone exceptional, then I can simply leave him.
'Three years aren't that long. This is the ti limit he sets himself… In that case…' Christopher squinted his eyes, judging Theo's ability.
Little did he know, Theo had calculated everything. He knew that Christopher wouldn't be able to wait for too long to see his growth. Hence, three years were the limit of what Christopher could accept.
Within these three years, Theo only needed to show him his strength so that Christopher submitted to him personally.
"Fine, I agree to work for you. However, it's only for three years, and you need to fulfill your side of the agreent as well. I don't want any more tricks." Christopher finally accepted the deal.
If Theo chose a decade as the ti limit, Christopher would truly find himself too old to do sothing like this. After all, he would be 95 years old at that ti.
Little did he know, Theo was planning to beco a Mythical Rank Expert within two years. So, he didn't need to worry about it.
"Okay. Since you've accepted the agreent, you're now working for ." Theo nodded with a calm expression before extending his hand. "I'm Joker. You can call Joker or Boss. I don't care."
"I will call you Brat, then." Christopher snorted before half-heartedly shaking Theo's hands.
Felix clicked his tongue and wanted to cut this guy right now if not for Theo's hand stopping him.
After shaking his hand, Theo asked. "Give your number."
Christopher thought it was natural since Theo was his employer right now. He gave his private number, albeit reluctantly.
As soon as he got what he wanted, Theo rose from his seat and left the room. "In that case, I'm looking forward to working with you."
Without waiting for a reply, Theo left the mansion. Even Felix had been frowning this whole ti, not liking how Christopher acted.
Theo had defeated him while following the rule. He even took a step back and changed it to a three-year agreent instead of a lifelong commitnt. Yet, Christopher didn't appreciate Theo's thoughtfulness and even scorned him.
They soon regrouped with Isaac, who was waiting outside the mansion, and returned to Theo's own mansion.
On the way, Felix couldn't help but say, "I don't understand. Why are you tolerating this guy? I personally don't like him. He can betray you at any mont… What if another strong person cos to entice him? He won't hesitate to join as long as he could pay you back for that humiliation."
Felix was saying all this out of concern. He didn't want Theo to end up like him. The curse that hard Millie had plagued his heart this whole ti, so he wanted to kill Christopher to ensure that sothing like this would never happen.
However, Theo shook his head and replied, "That's not it, Felix. As soon as the Magic Power pushed us away earlier, I knew he wasn't planning to work for soone.
"The three year agreent has only one purpose. It's to let him observe . I know that a stubborn guy like him will only whole-heartedly agree after seeing my strength. And he's impatient enough that he will reject anything more than three years.
"Every ti we work together, he will observe and make that judgnt himself. As you know, an enemy often knows you better than your family.
"Because of this, he will observe my actions better. After three years, I win if I can lt his stubbornness. If I lose, well, who cares? Three years have passed anyway, and I'm planning to reach the Mythical Rank within two years…
"By the ti the agreent is over, I have beco strong enough and should have a replacent ready. Trust . I won't do sothing without thinking carefully." Theo explained his reason to Felix.
Even though his reasoning was enough to soothe Felix's heart, his concern still remained. "Still, what will you do if he sells your information to other people? It will be extrely dangerous."
"Don't worry about it. I'm planning to have Jeff watch over him. If he has any weird movents, I'm going to eliminate him." Theo's tone beca cold.
It would be a matter of ti before Christopher figured out his real identity. Theo only showed one illusion for him. It was an illusion that had no aning other than a preparation for the challenge.
Unlike the combat illusion that he used during his fight against the assassin, this illusion could be interpreted as a skill that Theo picked up recently just to recruit him. However, this thought wouldn't last long.
That was why Jeff would help Theo to watch Christopher. At the very least, Theo had three Mythical Rank Experts that could help him if needed for the ti being. This should be enough to prepare for what would co.
