Chapter 896 - Reactions
Obviously, his existence had struck deep in many people's hearts, especially those who worked in the dark.
…
Japan.
Laust was called by Shibuya Mami, who once led the Japanese team in the Grand Gaia Competition.
"What do you think about this news?" Mami asked.
"I don't know." Laust shook his head. "Either way, my plan hasn't changed. I'm going back to Thersland to settle everything with my father sooner or later."
"I just want your thoughts about this news. Do you believe he's dead?"
"On the one hand, we're talking about the Dark Poison Swamp. No one has ever challenged that place and co back. On the other hand, he is Theo." Laust sighed.
"So, 50-50?" Mami frowned. "Still, his blessing is rumored to be related to Death. Is he going to resurrect himself sooner or later?"
"I don't know. When I was his teammate, I obeyed his commands because that was the right thing to do. Now that I'm not in his control, I can't believe in him anymore."
"So, you're saying he's dead?"
"No. I don't believe everything about him. His death might be a fake… and the rumor of his blessing might not be the truth either."
"!!!" When Mami heard it, she widened her eyes before her face soon turned grim. "So, you're saying there's a possibility of him having another blessing…"
"Who knows." Laust shook his head and gradually walked away. Before leaving the room, he said one last piece. "All I know is that he only shows you whatever he wants you to believe. It might not necessarily be the truth."
*Kacha!*
Laust closed the door, leaving Mami alone to think. In the end, she called soone with a serious expression. "Hello…"
…
The United Kingdom.
"What? He's dead?"
"Prince. What should we do? We have poured so much money in searching for soone who can rank up a skill. And he's dead now…"
"That's right. We've wasted too many resources for a dead man. How can we accept this?"
"Just be grateful that we didn't spend much more… After all, there would be more resources wasted if we invited him."
"Anyway, the brat died. We need soone to take the bla for this and start changing our focus."
"Still, such a waste."
"That's right. We can nurture so many people with this amount of money."
"Theodore Griffith. Even if he's dead, he's still causing a headache."
…
China.
"Haha. He's dead. And we haven't even made our move. As expected of the Griffith Family, if they want soone to die, they certainly won't live."
All of them were staring at the man who always opposed their plan in eliminating Theo, Cheng Zhao, the forr captain of the national team Cheng Sui's father.
He contemplated for a mont before saying, "Why do I feel like he's not dead?"
"It's obvious he's forced to go inside the Dark Poison Swamp. With this, he won't survive."
"That's right."
Cheng Zhao shook his head and said, "There is a big difference in him jumping into the Dark Poison Swamp and being forced to enter that damned swamp."
"It's impossible. Even the pope admitted he couldn't protect him."
"He didn't say he failed. He only said he could only watch everything happening."
"That's basically the sa. You don't need to play with words, Cheng Zhao. Since you have opposed us this whole ti, you should give us so explanations!"
Cheng Zhao glared at them and pinched the bridge of his nose before shaking his head helplessly.
…
Mota Family.
After attending the funeral, Boris and his wife returned to their mansion with tired faces.
They were greeted by the heavy atmosphere as the other three Mythical Rank Experts approached them.
"Agata still locks herself inside her room. Theo… Is he really dead?" Agata's uncle asked with a worried expression.
Boris let out a long sigh and said, "You already heard it from her… To think Theo would knock our daughter out to save her and choose to sacrifice his own life… To think he would use his illusion to protect our daughter… If I could do more for him, I would have done it."
No one could reply to him. The blow Theo left in their heart was too heavy.
"Even though I didn't like that brat's disposition, I never wanted him to die…" Agata's aunt sighed and walked away.
Seeing her actions made them more depressed. Boris even said, "Anyway, all of you can return for the ti being. I'll try to talk with Agata."
As soon as they left, Boris walked to Agata's room and knocked on the door a few tis. "Agata. This is Dad. Can you open the door?"
There was no response from Agata, making him worried. He reached the doorknob and knocked a few more tis but to no avail.
His hand was a bit itchy and he ended up pushing the doorknob. To his surprise, the door opened.
"Eh?! It's not locked." Boris widened his eyes in surprise.
Although hesitant, Boris still entered the room, finding a tidy but dark room. It was as if no one was living here.
However, he soon found his daughter sitting on top of her bed, ditating.
"Close the door, Dad. Let's talk." Agata's voice was serene and calm.
Boris shivered when he heard her voice, thinking Agata had beco in denial because of Theo's death.
But the mont he closed the door, Agata said, "I'm fine and can't be any better. I'd be lying if I say I'm not sad, but I choose to believe him.
"I hope you can support with everything in the next three years… I want to learn how to manage a business from you."
"Agata?" Boris was shaken by her words. "I know you're still sad. Well, I'm happy that you want to learn the family business, but how about taking a few days to calm down first before making your decision?"
"What are you talking about?" Agata gradually opened her eyes, staring into his eyes.
"Eh?" Boris was bewildered by her reaction and felt sothing was wrong.
"My boyfriend is trying to build up his own influence over there. In the next three years, I want to learn everything, especially how to manage an influence. This is my resolve."
"Boyfriend? Is?" Boris dropped his jaw.
"Don't tell anyone about this as it'll defeat the purpose. I'm just a girl with a broken heart who tries to do everything to forget this sadness."
Boris didn't listen to what she said as there was one word that stuck deep in his mind. "What did you say again? Boyfriend? You…"
A smile appeared on Agata's face. "Can you help , Dad?"
