Chapter 904 - Shifting The Bla
"Okay, thanks." After dealing with Theo, Bernard continued to the other party. "Take to Mark."
Emma followed his instruction and walked toward Mark. Theo moved toward Mark.
As the Death Avatar waved its hand, the soul gradually returned to Mark's head, removing all pain as though it wasn't real to begin with.
Little did he know, Theo simply stopped using his Illusion Manipulation, resulting in the pain disappearing.
However, what Mark knew was that his soul had returned.
Since the soul had co back to his body, Theo expected Mark to get angry, but surprisingly, Mark didn't say a single thing. He only looked at him for a mont before turning to Bernard.
"Mark. Why did you challenge him? You should know your action almost killed you. But before you tell anything, I need to remind you again.
"Because of what you did earlier, I need to put you under surveillance. If you have any thought about getting revenge, it will be who will face you."
Mark closed his eyes, accepted his punishnt, and nodded his head. "I understand, Sir Bernard."
"Also, you have bet sothing, no? Give it to him."
"That's a bit inconvenient." Mark scratched the back of his head.
"Are you treating my words as a joke now?"
"No, no. What I bet is a piece of information. If I tell him right now, everyone can hear it." Mark glanced at Theo and continued, "I believe he can agree with this."
Bernard fell silent for a mont before adding a condition. "Okay, but if you try anything funny, there won't be a second chance. It also ans I can't really trust you."
Mark nodded a few tis. If he tricked Theo this ti, it also ant Mark wasn't soone that could be trusted. There was no way the company wanted soone like that.
"I promise that I will compile and send the information an hour after I return."
"Fine." Bernard checked Theo's expression first and ultimately agreed with his plan. "Is there anything you like to add?"
Mark shook his head with a long face.
"You're not supposed to be soone like this. Who on earth forced you to challenge him? If it were the normal you, you would just stay silent and continue working hard." Bernard narrowed his eyes.
Mark looked down, reluctant to disclose it.
"Mark!" Bernard raised his voice, realizing soone was behind it.
Mark sighed and said, "It's Arianna."
"Arianna?" Bernard recalled that na a bit and asked for confirmation. "Anderson's daughter? If I'm not wrong, she's pretty close to you. This is why I have been telling you to stop caring about won for the ti being and practice. In the future, you can get whoever you desire."
"I know, but it's not that I want to get close to her." Mark shook his head with a sad expression.
"What do you an? Bernard narrowed his eyes with a slightly annoyed face.
"The truth is Arianna has been trying to control . If I didn't follow her words, I would be suppressed by her father."
"You've been evaluated as an S Rank Talent. You can just report it to the company."
"I tried." Mark gritted his teeth. "But the mont I tried, her father received that complaint, and everything turned south after that. There was another instance where I tried to et you in person but got intercepted again. Then, I wanted to get help from soone from here, but it turned out he was soone close to them."
Bernard frowned and muttered, "Anderson is a board director and his little brother controls the Skylink Network in the company… I see."
Bernard's eyes beca cold. Emma and Kain could also see the anger on his face.
"To think that a re board director dares to control my company," Bernard said with a cold tone. "Because of him, I almost lost two extrely talented Supre Rank Experts."
He suddenly realized why Theo acted like a bastard earlier.
It turned out Theo had noticed all this. From the way Mark talked and chatted with him, it was pretty clear that Mark was a calm and collected person.
Yet, such a person actually recklessly challenged him and fulfilled all his demands, which only ant one thing. Mark was forced by soone else.
Although Theo admitted he did it to garner so reputation, he also didn't want to create too much chaos in this company since he would be under their care for the next few years.
He was unaware of Mark's plan, but he also wanted to make this duel to punish the force behind Mark that turned out to be Mark's enemy.
By creating this kind of conflict, he could force Bernard to act and get a favor at the sa ti. The artifact information was indeed helpful, but his true aim was Bernard's favor.
That was also why Bernard beca frustrated when talking to him. Soone with that level of authority couldn't owe soone easily lest they would be taken advantage of later.
This made Bernard angry.
"Go back to your ho. You're not allowed to co out of your mansion for the next three months." Bernard gave him the punishnt.
"Yes." Mark nodded with a serious expression.
"Emma and Kain will go to the company tomorrow."
"Understood, Sir." Both of them nodded in unison, knowing Bernard planned to use them to testify for him.
"As for you…" Bernard looked at Theo for a mont. He didn't know why he wanted to smack this guy's head. There was one thought coming into his mind. 'Now I know why people don't like to be his enemies. If he's not soone from my company, I would have killed him before he could grow, no matter the consequences.
'Unfortunately, there's no record about today's battle because of the rule. And as for his true intention in accepting this duel…' As soon as Bernard got the answer, his expression beca grim, and he said, "This battle is enough. Don't make any more ss. I don't have ti to clean up the ss every ti."
"I know, I know." Theo shrugged.
"For injuring your own comrade, you're to complete a local or international mission. You can choose the mission in your Skylink."
"Fine." Theo smirked behind his mask. The reason why Bernard gave him this punishnt was to show he was impartial as well as keep Theo away from what was about to co. The mont he made a move against Anderson, Theo would beco the main target as he was the reason why Bernard aid at him.
Sending him away on a mission would save his life while giving him the opportunity to get stronger… That was the only thing he could do as the CEO of the Star Group.
