Chapter 1228 Reason
"Y-yes." Akbar nodded furiously. "Then, I'll imdiately buy a mansion in the US so that I can stay there. And I'll make sure that your fake ID Card is prepared within a day."
"No. You need to stay in this country." Theo shook his head.
"Eh? Why? All the people who follow you have co to the USA too, so… Do you reject because of my behavior earlier?"
"You're more useful in this place. Kyrgyzstan… You've truly used your strategic position wisely… It's close to Africa, Europe, and Asia. It will be easy for you to monitor the situation here. However, I'll still call you when I need you to do sothing."
Akbar's face beca pale. In his eyes, Theo was suppressing him. After all, it was clear that he wasn't soone that easily bowed down to soone. If he stayed here, he wouldn't need to et the others that much, resulting in him failing to manipulate them.
Contrary to his thought, Theo believed Akbar was worth more when he was here instead of going with him. He also knew that Akbar wouldn't be able to manipulate his group.
Of course, Theo considered Akbar's personality carefully. This action also allowed him to suppress Akbar's influence. Although he didn't want to admit it, Akbar was indeed quite dangerous even to him.
So, he wanted to beco a Mythical Rank Expert first before defeating Akbar completely.
And with Theo's current condition, it was impossible for him to think the way he used to because of the problem with his Reality Eyes. Even so, this was enough for now. One year later, he should be able to control his Reality Eyes and beco a Mythical Rank Expert.
If he didn't need Akbar at that ti, he could simply throw him away.
Theo looked at Akbar with a calm expression as if he was not trying to repulse him. Even Akbar started to think that this was just a test from Theo. Theo wanted him to show his loyalty first before allowing him to stay with him.
In the end, Akbar admitted defeat and said, "I understand. I'll follow your arrangent."
'Just a bit longer… I need to endure it a bit longer.' Akbar thought, still believing that he could turn around the situation.
Theo then passed a number to him. "I know that you want to know about my power, but I can't say anything to you. You're free to observe , but that's what you will get. You're pretty lucky because we have an excellent scientist in our group. That's his contact. So… If you get the answer, it's your effort, not my fault.
"If you have sothing to ask or If I have a task for you, I'll contact you through Felix. That's all." Theo finally walked away as if he had finished confronting Akbar.
"Please wait a minute." Akbar tried to stop him again. "There is sothing that I haven't told you."
"And that is?"
"There is a bounty on your head in the underworld. Your head is currently worth one billion Zil. Unfortunately, it's close to impossible to find the one who posts the mission, so I hope that you can be careful."
"One billion, huh… To think they think I'm worth only that much." Theo snorted. "Well, what do you think, Felix?"
"If it's just a normal assassin, fighting against three Mythical Rank Experts is an easy task. With your help, five won't be a problem." Felix answered with a calm expression.
Even Akbar thought, 'He might actually do it.'
Theo was immune to poison and curses. He could even remove them from Felix's body if the assassins attacked them this way. So, it was almost impossible to harm him under normal circumstances.
After listening to his warning, Theo then left the house.
Felix glanced at him with worry. At first, he thought inviting Akbar was a good thing. But when he realized Akbar's true personality, he might bring more harm than good to the group. At the sa ti, Theo had accepted Rea, who was obviously the spy of the Sword Saint.
He didn't know why but Theo had been making a questionable decision. Even he couldn't understand his thoughts. He was worried that Theo had lost his mind after the victory against the Death Reaper.
As if knowing Felix's worry, Theo smiled. "Don't worry, Felix. I'm still ."
'I'm still .' That was a powerful statent to Felix. It was the sa as telling him that he was fine and his decisions had been considered carefully.
'It seems I am the one who has been questioning him lately. His thoughts… I don't think anyone can decipher it. I should believe in him. There will be an opportunity in the future for his decisions to click together.'
"I understand. Sorry."
"It's fine. Let's have a rest here for now, and we'll go to Thersland two days later." Theo nodded.
"Sure."
Both of them began to travel to the hotel they'd booked earlier. Theo beca a bit passive in the next two days because he was focusing on adjusting his eyes. Although it wouldn't do much, he still needed to do it as much as possible.
"Still, do you have any attachnt lingering to your country?" Felix asked.
"I don't think I do." Theo shook his head. "Even my past comrades have spread all over the world. There is only one person that I want to et there."
"Who is it?"
"Do you know the rabbit that was always with ?"
"Ah!"
"Her mother is there. So, I want to visit her to tell her about her daughter. All my opportunity was given by her, so I want to do at least this much to repay her."
Theo didn't lie. His opportunity ca because of the Friend Seal that Avarice gave to him. So, he thought this was the only way to repay her. Avarice should be happy that her daughter beca the sole successor of the current Authority Level Figure.
As for his brother, he already knew that his brother was forced by the circumstances, but he still held his opinion about his family. He wouldn't attack them, but he had decided to cut any contact with them.
So, his only purpose in visiting Thersland was Avarice.
