Chapter 835 - Contemplation
"The time will be in three months. I know that you are going to leave this place after that, so… spend your time wisely and prepare to move." Leonardo rose from his seat and stared at the blue sky. "For now, there\'s no need to fear you being spied on. I\'ll take care of it."
"Don\'t worry. I know what to do." Theo nodded with a serious expression.
"Alright. See you later." Leonardo waved his hand and disappeared, returning to the headquarters.
Without Leonardo, the garden became tranquil and felt empty. Usually, Leonardo would be here doing everything he liked, from drinking tea to playing chess by himself.
Theo closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
He sat there and looked at the sky, remembering what he said earlier.
\'Sir Leonardo will take care of the Griffith Family and the Barbe Group. However, only the pope will protect me from the church\'s side. As long as the Griffith Family or the Barbe Group doesn\'t heavily injure or kill the pope, the Vatican City won\'t pursue it.
\'Assuming that the Barbe Group brings every single Mythical Rank Expert along with a few hundred Supreme Rank Experts… The Military will surely move to prevent at least the Supreme Rank Experts. After all, they shouldn\'t be trampled down when there is an invasion.
\'Even so, the Barbe Group and the War God Family should have the same amount of Mythical Rank Experts. If they\'re stopping each other… The Griffith Family will have enough people to get me.
\'And it seems that most of their forces are stopped in their own headquarters, so only five to ten Mythical Rank Experts should be coming to Italy.
\'According to Sir Leonardo, the Pope wouldn\'t have the problem in handling four of them if it\'s only a defensive battle. In other words, I need to make sure the rest won\'t help.
\'Sir Leonardo had made several plans to slow them down, but I need to add something to completely stop them.
\'At the same time, the War God Family will be in chaos… There might be a chance that they\'re targeting the War God Family instead of me. So, the fighters won\'t hesitate to protect the family instead of me.
\'In that case, how to stop them…\' Theo fell silent for a moment and continued, \'Well, I can send my reinforcement, but I don\'t think I can leave this mansion for the next three months, or the bait will fail.\'
Theo fell silent for a moment and thought for a moment. \'If it\'s a Supreme Rank Expert, I have some confidence in dealing with them. But we\'re talking about Mythical Rank Experts here… They\'re far stronger than me. Even with Agata and Ava, it\'s impossible to handle them.
\'Should I adjust my plan a bit?\' Theo thought for a moment before smiling. \'Ah, I can do it that way. Sir Leonardo\'s plan is already completed, but as expected… The variable is too big. At the very least, this plan has stopped the Griffith Family\'s vassals from participating, which is already good.
\'Was this my parents\' thoughts when they abandoned me? They shouldn\'t be as powerful as they are now… But it should be fine if they actually used the War God Family and maybe… tied a knot with marriage. This should be a solution. Or was this not enough?\'
Theo clutched his head while gritting his teeth. In the end, he shook his head, letting his anger go. \'I need to focus on the current problem first. It\'s how to deal with the Griffith Family. I don\'t like the idea of them using me for revenge, but the Griffith Family indeed wants to kill me…
\'What if I tweak Sir Leonardo\'s plan a little bit?\' Theo decided to spend the rest of the day pondering over the plan.
When he returned to the mansion at night, Agata had been waiting for him right behind the door.
Theo tilted his head in confusion. "What are you doing here?"
"I have something to tell you."
Seeing Agata\'s serious expression, Theo furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"
"Maya had asked me to come with you."
"And your reply?"
"I haven\'t given it yet." Agata shook her head. "Actually, I want to put it in the part of the contract as well… If I can use this contract to help you, I don\'t really mind."
Theo\'s expression became grim as he walked to her front, only a few inches away from her. "There is something I\'d like to ask. Lately, I\'ve come to notice that you\'ve been doing everything for me. Even sacrificing your future… Is it worth it? Why would you sacrifice for someone that might never repay your feelings?"
Agata put on a gentle smile. "That\'s not it."
"Then can you explain it to me?"
"I\'m just afraid that I\'ll soon become useless to you… Your talent is too strong for me to keep up. No matter what you say, I know that I won\'t be able to be as strong as you… In fact, I might become your burden sooner or later.
"That\'s why I want to do everything I can when I\'m still capable of helping… Because I know you\'ll do everything for me in the future." Agata stared at his eyes. "I\'ll try my best to be someone that you can rely on, but the probability is too low, so this is the only thing I can do."
"Is it worth sacrificing your future for someone who hasn\'t dedicated his life for you?"
Agata fell silent, refusing to answer this question.
Looking at her face, Theo let out a long sigh. "I won\'t let you do such a thing. In any case, I\'ll come up with a solution sooner or later. Trust me."
Agata bit her lips. "Then, there is still my family. We all owe you, so it\'s time to use it."
"I appreciate it, but I\'m afraid the Griffith Family will shift their anger to your family. And I\'m still not strong enough to handle it."
"I\'m prepared for it. I\'m sure they know about this too."
"I will do my best to take care of it so that your family doesn\'t need to get involved in this colossal fight…" Theo shook his head and walked back to his room. But before he left, he added, "You have no control of me, I have no control of you. I\'m free to do anything I want… You\'re the same."
Agata turned around when she heard those words. Theo implied that he had no right to stop her… But as she had been taught this whole time, she needed to be careful before making a decision.
