Chapter 1414 Griffith Family
The Griffith Family.
After returning back to their main base, Mason Griffith finally had the chance to talk to the Original Theo. Although he had the power to threaten the Original Theo, it was clear that he would lose his assets if he killed him right now.
Theo had killed Airvans and Eric, so without the Original Theo and the Poison King, he would be in huge trouble.
The Original Theo and Mason were sitting in front of each other. They were staring into each other's eyes as though they were examining the other party's ability.
Eventually, Mason opened his mouth. "Who are you?"
"I am Theodore Griffith. The Original Theodore Griffith."
"Bullshit. I have seen him personally. Do you think I'm going to believe you?"
"That's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. The one who has been roaming around the world is none other than my clone created by a skill. Even I don't know the information about that skill, but I'm assuming it's the Clone Skill. Perhaps, S Rank Skill."
"…" Mason fell silent. At first, he wanted to rebuke his claim, but he couldn't due to the fact that Theo's clone could actually wield the sa power as the original. Unless it was an S Rank Skill, he wouldn't believe it.
"And why do you say you've co back from death?"
"It is as it is. I've truly died and that clone is summoned right before I die as a new life. After the Death Reaper died, she sacrificed her soul in order to revive . That was where I got the second chance, and I'd promised her that I'd kill my clone.
"I'll devour everything… his identity, his won, his strength, and his status! I'll take everything that's supposed to be mine."
"…" Mason fell silent. It looked like a whole big lie, but Theo's expression this ti was like soone who had experienced a true death once. It was clear that surviving in the underworld wasn't easy.
"I have answered a few of your questions. It's ti for to ask my questions!" Theo stopped Mason before he gave another question.
As soone at the top, Mason furrowed his eyebrows and even released his killing intent, not liking Theo's attitude.
However, he simply said, "If you want to kill , then try it. The mont you kill , you won't be able to do anything against your enemies. The only reason why the Eilric Family and the Orel Group haven't betrayed you is simply because I'm here. If you kill , the Griffith Family will be destroyed."
Mason beca even more suspicious after this. Although the Theo that everyone knew was a clone, it was clear that it had the mory of the original. In other words, it suffered the sa past and hated the Griffith Family.
It was weird to see the original Theo actually join the Griffith Family.
"I don't understand. You should be the one hating this family." Mason narrowed his eyes, examining Theo's reaction.
"So what? I hate this family to the bone, but it doesn't change the fact that I need this family to get what I want. And if I keep this hatred… What? Am I going to take revenge on my parents against this family? Blood thicker than water? And I shall be the successor of this family?
"I don't have those plans. All I want is to utilize this family's power. You need and I need you. You want my power and status to preserve the Griffith Family and I want your power to take back what was supposed to be mine. That's all."
Mason felt that this Theo was far different from the one he had seen so far. There was a huge hatred buried in his heart, but the desire to take back everything he had was far stronger than the hatred to the point he didn't mind working together with what he hated.
"So, you want to use my power to devour your clone and get everything from him? And in exchange, I can use you to regain control over the Griffith Family." Mason narrowed his eyes.
"That's basically the deal. You use and I use you."
"There is no reason for to accept. I want to control everything with the Griffith Family, but there's one big problem… It's my age. I'm already this old and even if I can gain back the control of the Griffith Family, there won't be any successor. In the end, the Griffith Family will fall because of the lack of successors."
The Original Theo furrowed his eyebrows, realizing how sly Mason Griffith was. It was clear that Mason was trying to push him to the position. If he wanted to get his support, he should beco the successor of the Griffith Family. This was his ssage.
If Mason continued like this, the Griffith Family would decline, but he could also drag the original Theo down. In other words, the only path for him was to accept this proposal.
"If you beco my successor, I will help you get everything. Your reputation, all the won you want, the money, and strength!" Mason smirked. "No matter how much you hate this Griffith Family, you are bound to be the leader of this family. Instead of creating a group from the start, why don't you use the Griffith Family as the foundation?"
"…" The Original Theo gritted his teeth. On the one hand, Mason's words were a hard cold fact. Building up another group like Theo was impossible because everyone had been watching him. And Theo wouldn't allow him to do sothing like that.
Unlike Theo, who mastered the illusion, his power was Devouring, so he couldn't truly escape the eyes of the countries.
On the other hand, if he ended up taking this offer. He had to lead the family he hated so much. He wanted to destroy this family but had no choice other than to rely on it.
The Original Theo closed his eyes, contemplating. "Alright. I'll accept the position."
