Chapter 466 - Phone Call
In Thersland's Airata International Airport, a middle-aged man with a white shirt and leather pants was walking through a corridor, planning to go ho.
After investigating the country enough, he had made sure nothing would go wrong even if he flew back.
It was a quiet and refreshing morning. He was supposed to go ho but decided to stop when he felt soone's power.
As soone who worked in espionage, it was a basic requirent to gauge one's strength in just a glance.
Hence, he was alard the mont he felt this extraordinary pressure from a bald old man. The old man was barely five feet tall and had so flowery shirt as if he was on vacation. No one seed to notice his power. However, the middle-aged man saw different things with his eyes.
In his eyes, the old man had a strong muscular body that couldn't be hidden by the formal white and black suit he wore…
Seeing his spiky red hair, he instinctively took a step back before fleeing the scene.
He decided to turn around and left the airport while taking out his Skylink, calling soone.
An energetic but aged voice resounded on the phone, asking, "Wassup?"
"Old man, things are getting serious here." The middle-aged man took a deep breath and continued, "I see the Red Lion."
"Red Lion?" The voice sounded surprised. "You an that Red Lion?"
"Yeah. I don't understand what's going on, but there is only one reason to co to this country, right?"
"He is not a part of eight countries. Hell, he is a part of a cri syndicate."
"Yeah. I want to ask for reinforcent." He thought for a mont before understanding the real plan. "I assu he wants to wait for another two months while searching this country to see if Theo has protection or not.
"After the family eting, I am afraid he will kidnap him. This is just my speculation, but I think this is how it will be… Unless he's planning to kidnap him before the eting… Maybe for ransom or revenge."
"That sounds bad." The aged voice contained a trace of killing intent and continued, "I will send the reinforcent. Nah, I'm going there by myself. Dare to touch my grandson, I shall hack you into pieces."
"You are going to co here yourself?" The middle-aged man widened his eyes. However, his call had ended, frustrating him even more.
anwhile, behind the call was a man with white hair. Despite his aged face and the rod that supported his body, his eyes were still sharp and his body was still in shape.
He was sitting next to a pond, giving so food to the fish.
However, after this call, he let off his killing intent, alarming a few people in the area.
All of them quickly ca to his courtyard while panicking.
"Father. Is there soone offending you?"
The old man didn't turn back for a while before he got another call. His Skylink showed a na that he never expected to call at this point.
Beloved Valerie.
As soon as he saw her na, he picked up and said, "So, you have ti to call your dad now?"
"I'm sorry, Dad. We have gotten information about the Red Lion. I believe you haven't called little Davi back, right?" The woman replied with a calm tone.
"He has an extended vacation there. Hmph."
"I know. I am calling you to warn you a little bit."
"Warning? You little brat. You dare to warn your father? Don't make go rampage on your Griffith Family just to spank you. I am not going to give up on my grandson. If you dare to hinder , I'm going to beat you first to save my grandson."
"No, no. I just want to say my husband will make a move himself. According to our information, so of the countries are planning for assassinations because they can't afford Theo to grow. Hence, my husband wants to warn those countries that he will be protecting him until he visits the country of his choice."
"…" The old man stopped for a mont. If he protected Theo right now, this would indeed cause another uproar to other countries because he kind of stated that Theo had chosen their country even though he hadn't.
It would give Theo so implications as well. At the sa ti, they would be able to trace back their relationship with Theo, complicating the situation even further.
On the other hand, if the Griffith Family protected Theo, it was normal because Theo was theirs before he turned 18 years old. Hence, Theo wouldn't have any implication in his choice.
He wanted to reject this offer and went by himself, but Theo's future might also get affected at this point.
After considering a few things, he replied, "One scratch on him, you will see how I visit your Griffith Family."
"I know."
"How are the elders there?"
"We've suppressed them for the ti being, else we won't dare to co to Thersland. We have several plans already, so Theo's life won't be in danger."
"I hope you're true to your words."
"The danger he has right now is not where he dies, it's where he will get tortured or controled for the rest of his life. Even after forcing ourselves to get this position, it still didn't guarantee his life and future… And sadly, the threat doesn't co only from the outside but also the inside."
"You should have sent him to , I can protect him better than you."
"Tell the elders of this family to let go of a boy who can master all five Aspects simultaneously in the future. Tell them not to get involved in his life and make an exception. If you can do that, we will talk. Do you think we want to get this position?"
"Hmph. I just want to tell you one thing." The old man sighed. "The one who hurts the most is not you or your husband. It's him."
The old man felt frustrated and hung up before calling Davi, the Shadow Dog, back.
"Yeah?"
"Watch the Red Lion movent and inform that demon girl that his parents will make a move."
"… You serious?"
"Yep."
"Damn. Okay."
