Chapter 603 - Assistant?
An hour later.
Theo, Ava, and Leonardo were standing inside the facility.
It was so dark that they couldn't see anything.
However, Leonardo simply raised his right hand as a golden light shone on top of his palm. He gently raised it until the light floated near the ceiling, instantly brightening the entire facility.
"Now, it's good." Leonardo smiled as he looked at the tubes, corpses, body parts, tables, and other stuff scattered around the area. "Well, I kind of understand the problem now…"
"I have gathered my stuff on the other side of the facility." Theo pointed forward.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to steal it." Leonardo smiled and said, "You're reminding over and over again… Are you feeling sour because you just got rejected?"
Theo glanced at him and shook his head with a calm expression. "Not at all."
An hour ago.
"Do you happen to be interested in becoming my assistant?"
That question shocked Agata because Theo just offered what was supposed to be the best way to get closer to him.
At the sa ti, Agata needed to consider the pros and cons.
She figured out sothing and asked, "I think there are many rules, right?"
Theo nodded without hesitation. "Yes. I will give you the rules later. Don't worry. This will be an equivalent exchange. I don't want to take advantage of your feelings just for my convenience."
"Before that… Can you answer this one question?"
"Sure."
"Why ? I have heard so rumors about assistants, but I still can't see you having one. After all, you look like soone who can't trust other people easily."
Theo raised three fingers. "The first reason is your family resources. At the very least, with your family background, I don't need to handle every single problem, making my ti easier.
"Second, you were the only one who trusted during the whole mission. I am not saying that you need to follow all my orders because it ans you will be like a robot… I just want soone that can trust with so explanations. Looking at your progress, I believe you have beco better at analyzing things, so I think I can work together with you."
When she heard the second reason, she couldn't help but interject. "I couldn't do anything though… Believing and doing it are two different things."
Theo smiled. "Then… Isn't it the sa if you're doing it forcefully even though you don't believe ? It still ans you're a robot or sothing. What I want is an assistant… Soone that I can trust and work with, not a robot."
A smile appeared on her face as she looked down. "Sorry. What about the third one?"
"To be honest, you're the closest person to in Italy. Well, in terms of relationship, I can say that Sir Leonardo and Lorenzo are closer, but unlike them, you're soone I can cooperate with instead of a friend that is trying to take advantage of or sothing similar." Theo sighed.
She contemplated for a mont and said, "Well, I appreciate the invitation. Unfortunately, I can't give you the answer right now… I need ti to think about it."
"Okay. I can understand that. Besides, you need to know the rules first to avoid getting scamd by ." Theo shrugged.
"I appreciate the thought."
"As much as I want to go back together, I don't think it's possible for ." Theo glanced at his grandfather.
"Don't worry about . We should be able to return just fine. You should handle your problem first since it doesn't look like a small problem."
"Ahaha. Okay, that's it. I will contact you later." Theo nodded and left.
…
Recalling that scene, Theo said, "Not at all. It's not a rejection."
Leonardo rolled his eyes and said half-heartedly. "Yeah, yeah. It's not."
They kept walking inside the facility while investigating everything they could find.
As expected, Theo had taken all the papers and devices with him.
It took them fifteen minutes to reach the other side, where Leonardo found a stack of papers and a few devices.
"Haha, you're truly not leaving anything behind." Leonardo chuckled.
"Although I have heard it earlier, I want to ask it again… Are you sure you're not confiscating this?" Theo asked politely. "I an, the World Class Monster warned you to—"
Before Theo finished, Leonardo stopped him with a wave of his left hand. "Don't say sothing like that. To be honest, if you didn't tell anything about this, I wouldn't have found this place.
"I already got so information about this facility, but none could lead to this place. Just solving this problem and taking over this place are already a huge contribution.
"Then, we're talking about the additional information from the research papers and devices. It's not fair to confiscate everything from you.
"The most important weapon you need to have is information. That's why I don't confiscate them. Instead, I will give you a solution.
"When you have a problem that you want or the War God Family to solve, you can co to Marzio or . We will exchange our help with that information."
Theo fell silent, realizing why there weren't many conflicts inside the family. However, he also caught sothing interesting from his words. "Didn't you say a year…"
"Oh boy… Do you want to make a bet? I bet that you're going to use all that information for sothing within a year." Leonardo smirked.
"Are you planning—" Theo took a step back as if he was afraid of Leonardo.
"Cut the act. I know you don't fear ." Leonardo rolled his eyes. "All I want to say is, even without doing anything, I bet you're going to use all the information within a year. If I lose, I will give you one wish. If I win, you're going to call grandpa for the rest of your life. How about it?"
"…" Theo's eyebrows twitched. "This sounds too good for ."
"That's because I know I will win." Leonardo made a smug smile.
"No sabotage?"
"Nope. I will even stop Marzio if he wants to grasp it forcefully."
Theo thought for a mont and nodded. "Deal."
"Great!" Leonardo chuckled. "The bet is set. No taking back."
"Yes."
Suddenly, Leonardo's happy expression turned serious as he said, "Now… Let's talk about order a little bit, shall we?"
