Chapter 1005 Their Arrival

"Hello? Sir Joker, I have received two guests claiming to be your acquaintance."

"A middle-aged man and a young lady?"

"Yes."

"They are my guests. Can I trouble you to escort them here?"

"Understood. I will escort them to your mansion right now."

"Thank you." Theo hung up the call from the security at the gate of their housing complex.

He had been anticipating their arrival, so he was quite curious about what kind of transformation the two had.

Meanwhile, Felix and Millie were escorted by security in a car.

"Woah, there are so many huge houses. Each of them has a vast garden too.." Millie looked through the windows, admiring the houses in this area.

"You will be able to get a mansion like this if you keep getting stronger." Felix smiled and patted her head. As a Mythical Rank Expert, it was normal for him to live in this kind of house.

However, he was just a simple man. Even when he lived with his wife, he didn't squander their money with this kind of house so that they could enjoy their lives later.

So, he had expected Millie's reaction and was cool with it.

They reached Theo's mansion not long after with Theo standing in the garden as he had been practicing, ignoring the snow that covered his garden.

"This is.." Millie looked at the gate in awe.

As if feeling their presence, Theo used his Telekinesis to open the gate as he stopped his practice and went to meet them.

"You've come." Theo nodded, greeting them.

"I apologize for making you wait for too long." Felix apologized before stating, "But yes, I have come with Millie. Thank you for receiving us."

"I apologize for not greeting you back then," Millie spoke politely, trying to do all the things she couldn't do previously. "My name is Millie Holt. I'd like to thank you for treating my curse. I won't ever forget your kindness."

Theo smiled and nodded. "It's been three months, and you seem to have grown healthier."

"Of course. I ate as much as possible to gain all the weight I had lost. My father also helped me with the nutrition and exercise." Millie nodded with a smile before pumping her fists as if she was even ready for a fight.

"Millie. Don't be rude." Felix reprimanded her since Theo was still her savior.

"Hahaha!" Theo chuckled. "I don't mind. Talking politely is tiring, so just be at ease when you're with me."

Felix scratched the back of his head while Millie continued smiling, realizing Theo was truly not like how the rumor described him.

"Come in. Let's talk inside." Theo waved his hand and invited them in before closing the gate with his Telekinesis.

When she saw the empty mansion, she asked with an innocent face. "Is there no one else in this place?"

"Millie.." Felix narrowed his eyes.

"No. Because of personal reasons, I don't like to have people around in my house. Though, I do let the staff come in to clean the house once a week." Theo answered her with a calm expression.

"I see. I can do some cleaning and other household chores. Becoming a freeloader in this house doesn't sit right for me." Millie offered her own service since Theo originally wanted only her father, not her.

Theo waved his hand, rejecting the idea. "It's fine. Let the staff do their jobs. As for you, take your time to get stronger as soon as possible. That way, you can make your father feel relieved. That's the most useful job for you right now."

"I see." Millie looked down, contemplating her choices.

Meanwhile, Felix asked, "Do you have any job for me?"

"Not at the moment. In fact, you can just focus on training her while adapting to the new environment. I'm going to ask for your help in the near future, but you can just enjoy your life and take care of your daughter for now."

"I understand." Felix nodded with a serious expression.

"Though, I might require your assistance in teaching me many things about Australia, especially any unique fighting style from there."

"That is fine with me, but are you alright with only that?"

"Yeah. You have been taking care of your daughter for years, so it's best for you to get back in shape for now. When I do need your assistance, I will ask you."

Felix agreed without hesitation. There was no problem with Theo's request. However, he also needed to state a few things. "In the past, I always chose my targets.. I wouldn't target any innocent people even though I got many requests like eliminating an elderly to get their inheritance, killing a talented rising star to avoid future problems, or crippling people.

"I have sworn my loyalty to you, so you can order me anything." Felix lowered his head. Although he was a bit uncomfortable about that request, he wanted to fulfill his promise.

"I know you only killed people that deserved to die. I'd investigated you after all. Yet, despite knowing that fact, I still came to you." Theo glanced at him. "I prepared for that stuff a long time ago, Felix. So, you don't need to mind. I don't do this type of thing easily."

"I see." Felix smiled, feeling relieved.

"Now that I think about it, I haven't asked about your level yet. I also don't know what to expect from your power."

"Ah, that.." Felix paused for a moment. "My level is 815. I've mastered Awareness and Breathing. With my light affinity, I can distort a bit of light to hinder my opponent's vision. I can also increase my speed under the sunlight. That's why I don't do my job during the night that often."

"Are you okay with your father doing this kind of job?" Theo then turned to Millie.

"Yes. My father has a clear line, so I can't really say anything. This is the same situation as a mother selling her body to get money for her kid.. There's no way I can hate my father. Of course, if my father killed innocent people like elders or kids, even I don't know what to say."

"I see. How about you tell me your power and level too?" Theo asked.

"My level is 30 since I haven't done anything in the past two years, where it's usually the start of leveling up. I haven't learned anything about my Five Aspects, but I do have something that might be useful for you."

"Hoh? What's that?"

"I have a blessing from a man called Albert Gonzalez. He was known as a notorious hacker. I have been working with this kind of stuff since I was 7, so yeah.." Millie gently rubbed her cheek, feeling embarrassed. "I can do some stuff to get some information."
