Chapter 522 - War Saint
"Dad, I would like you to go to Thersland personally."
Maya arrived in front of her father, slamming his work table with a serious expression.
The middle-aged man before her had short blond hair and deep blue eyes. He wore glasses, a white shirt, and gray suits.
Putting down his work, he raised his head and looked his daughter in the eyes. "Hmm? Sorry… I just closed it. Can you repeat it?"
"I would like you to go to Thersland personally."
"Thersland?" The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and remembered the matter. "Ah, are you talking about Theodore Griffith?"
"Yes." Maya nodded without hesitation. "I have personally witnessed his strength, and I believe he\'s a good investment."
"Well…" The middle-aged man scratched the back of his head as if he disagreed with her. "I don\'t know about his loyalty. If he goes somewhere, I am afraid I will lose a few billion."
"I know you\'re going to say that." Maya harrumphed and touched her Skylink before a letter popped out on the screen.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes and said with a calm tone. "You have gone to your grandpa, eh?"
"Hmph. I know you won\'t help me unless I do this." Maya looked away while pouting.
"Who said that? I am always supportive of whatever you\'re doing." The middle-aged furrowed his eyebrows. "Look, I\'ve stopped working since you want to talk to me."
"Hmph. You always said something like this without even mentioning how much we have spent time together."
"24/7?"
"I would be overjoyed if you could spend an hour with me every day… But that\'s not important." Maya kept pouting while demanding, "I still want you to go there. Can\'t you go there personally? I believe in this investment."
"You seem to have a strong opinion toward him. Have you fallen in love or something? If you say yes, I will go there immediately. I can\'t afford to have my daughter without a man or go sideways. I need a grandchild, daughter…" The middle-aged man shook his head.
Maya\'s eyebrows twitched as she slammed the table in anger. "I might have lost against him, but he is merely an investment for me. There\'s nothing else. If you don\'t want to go, fine, I will go by myself."
When Maya was about to turn around, the middle-aged man chuckled.
She stopped when she heard that chuckle, finding her father\'s cold face melted.
"Sorry, sorry. I just couldn\'t help but tease you while finding out how much you want him…" The middle-aged man covered his mouth and kept laughing for a while.
"Dad?!" Maya furrowed her eyebrows.
"Nikita has sent me the report about him. He\'s indeed a very talented individual… No, I can say he\'s a monster. Whatever the scenario I played, he made me scared. And, he\'s scarier than you think…" The middle-aged man paused for a moment, raising Maya\'s curiosity.
"What do you mean?" Maya furrowed her eyebrows.
"This is why I am still your dad. You need to learn more about business… What is the strongest weapon we have?"
"Money," said Maya with conviction. "We can\'t do a sh*t without money."
"…" Her father stared at her dumbfoundedly for a few seconds before nonchalantly saying, "Fine, fine. Let\'s say you\'re right. What\'s the first thing you should do after having the money?"
"What do you mean by those words? I was right!"
"Nah, dear." The middle-aged man shook his head. "What you need to do is investigate. You can\'t have money or your strongest weapon without knowing all sorts of information."
"You just don\'t want to admit I\'m right, aren\'t you?"
"You are my daughter," The middle-aged man stated with a straight face. He just jokingly reminded her that father and daughter weren\'t that different. Both of them were stubborn.
"Hmph! Just say the information!" Maya glared at him.
"Fine, fine. Thanks to my \'friend,\' I have noticed a movement. Out of seven countries, Italy is the only one approaching Theo. Why?"
"Why?" Maya furrowed her eyebrows, curious.
"It\'s simple. He is someone from the War God Family. After all, he\'s the only one who can force that Old Marshal to move."
"Old Marshal." Maya sucked a cold breath. "War Saint… Leonardo Guerrero."
"Yep. He\'s coming to Thersland."
"But why do you say he\'s from the War God Family? Isn\'t he from the Griffith Family?" Maya thought for a moment.
"It\'s because you didn\'t experience it back then that your knowledge is too shallow. Back then, the War God Family almost went to war against the Griffith Family because of a certain elopement involving the current Magic Saint and Valkyrie."
"Magic Saint, Ray Griffith… And Valkyrie, Valerie Guerrero. The reason the War Saint coming over is…" Maya took a step back, realizing the importance of the matter.
"I guess you have realized it." The man smiled and shook his head in defeat. "We have been defeated by him this time… No, not only us but also other countries."
Maya looked down, contemplating her father\'s words. "Don\'t tell me. The reason you and grandpa were wasting my time with all those matchmakings…"
"Yeah. We\'re just following the rule set by that man." The man nodded. "He\'s not called the War Saint for nothing. The War God Family sent Agata Mota because she\'s interested in him. However, that was just a cover for their true intention.
"They know if the War God Family moved personally, the other countries would start to get suspicious. I don\'t know what it is, but the Pope\'s involvement must be that old fox\'s plan. He was trying to make the pope the focus while giving Agata the information about the War God Family.
"After that, China oppressed all those countries. They believed Theodore Griffith\'s character and the Pope\'s teaching couldn\'t get along while you were simply too arrogant for Theodore Griffith. Anyway, both combinations were not possible.
"Now that everyone has backed down, the old man personally makes his move, ensuring Theo\'s safety and everything else from all those countries. With this kind of timing, the other countries won\'t have enough time to react.
"In other words, they can\'t offer Theo anything because Theo surely won\'t trust them. This way, there is only us for the competition. Even if he doesn\'t get Theo, we still need to raise the offer above his War God Family… Or you can say a bigger blank check. Even if the other countries try to participate at this time, they will need to offer a much bigger blank check than us.
"Either way, his grandson won\'t suffer from any choice he makes." The man let out a long sigh. "That damned sly old fox. He\'s using my own economic warfare to his advantage."
Maya\'s body was shaken as she realized everyone was just dancing on his palm. "So, this is the War Saint…"
"So, Daughter…" He smiled. "How about getting a husband right now?"
"Go make another daughter and get her a husband!"
