Chapter 1102 Situation
After a few hours, the ground started trembling as they heard a loud 'boom' from the island. According to the information, there was another hidden monster that caused the island to sink.
And the effect was tremendous. After that loud explosion, the crack soon reached the shore as if they were going to fall.
Theo and the others immediately headed to the boat because the seawater began seeping, flooding the land.
Since the return trip was also dangerous, not many dared to stay on the island any longer. And even those who dared preferred to return together to conserve their strength.
After all, they had tried to find any clues about the island for a few decades and still found nothing. So, most of them had given up.
Only Theo's group could actually know the secret about this island. However, none of them was planning to say anything about this information.
While watching the island sinking, the boats gradually returned toward the land. The return trip might have no Mythical Rank Expert that planned to kill them, but more monsters seemed to be coming to the island, creating numerous obstacles for them.
Theo thought this phenomenon was related to the blood the island gathered for the Queen of Destiny. However, he didn't want to pry any further since this island was far different from Helheim.
In the end, they reached the island on the other side safely. Although their loot wasn't as much as Winston's party, it was still above average.
Surprisingly, Patrick, one of the S Rank Talent from the Star Group, stood there as if he had been waiting for them.
When he saw their boat, Patrick immediately approached them with a smile since he knew Theo's contribution to the previous mission.
He came to this place without hesitation when Bernard asked him to pick them up.
"Hello, hello!" Patrick waved his hand with a smile.
"Patrick? What are you doing here?" Maya was confused by Patrick's appearance since they could easily come back with the others from the Star Group and Starry Group.
However, Patrick's answer blew their mind, making them realize the situation had become unpredictable.
"There's a huge movement from the Fist Saint. I'll tell you about the situation on the way, but I want to let you know Sir Bernard asked me to escort four of you back. Also, he wants to talk to Joker after this." Patrick answered while showing a video of Bernard.
"Maya.. You know what, your mother's food was freaking disgusting. Anyway, I have sent you Patrick. I want you to follow him because my hands are tied. I'll explain the situation later, so all of you are to go back to your own house for a while. I'll call you to the company in a day or two."
The moment she heard the first sentence, she knew it was her father. After all, they had always set up a code for secret talk, fully knowing there was a chance that the other could use editing software or voice changer to imitate them. And that sentence was the code.
"Okay. Let's go back." Maya convinced Theo and the others with a single nod, telling them that it was her father.
"Good." Patrick nodded and immediately turned around, leading them back without waiting for the others.
Maya and Mark gave a signal to the one taking care of the Star and Starry Groups to let them know they were leaving.
After that, they picked up their pace and followed Patrick.
They ran for a few minutes without a single word. After assuming no one was following them, Patrick opened his mouth.
"The Fist Saint has returned to Egypt and seems to be hiding there. According to the information, he has sent two powerful Mythical Rank Experts to the US. The first one is his first disciple, ranked 91th in the world, Hatem Rahal, along with his assistant, Mohab.
"It seems he has caught wind about the president and the Star Group's involvement. So, he's trying to find their connection to confirm it. As soon as he proves it, I'm afraid both of them are going to make their move.
"However, that's not important right now. The president is currently confronting many people. It turns out the entire situation is worse than he thought. Even the Time God has started moving.
"Hence, he wants all of you to remain in your home if you don't need to do anything big. If you want to go out, you should bring a Mythical Rank Expert to accompany you.

"You should know a movement from a single top ten expert alone can cause a huge reaction. And right now, there are three of them going around because of this problem.
"Due to the Fist Saint, the situation becomes even more complicated. We're trying to find his goal for now.." Patrick explained the situation before looking at Mark. "You should stay in your mansion for the time being. I don't think there are many who wants to follow you out."
"I know. Sir Bernard has hinted to me a few times in the past three weeks." Mark nodded.
"And since Joker is responsible for this little guy, I assume you're not going anywhere after this, right?" Patrick asked. Theo had just finished a long mission, so he was supposed to have some rest first.
However, Theo shook his head and remembered what the Queen of Destiny said.
"No. I'm planning to head elsewhere not long after I return. Only after that will I stay for one or two months in my mansion."
"What?!" Patrick was bewildered by Theo's choice.
However, the others knew this was what the Queen of Destiny was talking about, so none of them said anything.
"Anyway, you don't need to care about me. I will have a Mythical Rank Expert to protect me on the way." Theo waved his hand nonchalantly. Since he had Felix, a Mythical Rank Assassin, he should be quite safe. However, he remembered he needed to bring Isaac with him.
So, he needed to confirm the other party's information first before going there.
"Well, whatever. I've reminded you, so I'm not going to be responsible for your choice." Patrick sighed and gave up on convincing Theo.
Theo nodded, wondering what kind of person he could get this time.
