Chapter 1240 Unexpected News

Theo spared no efforts to return to his mansion after arriving at the airport. He was truly exhausted from maintaining his sanity through the side-effects.

Ergene and Rea were the ones who picked him up, considering Jeff was taking care of Coline in France while Felix handled the problem in Thersland.

"Is there anything new?" Theo asked while closing his eyes as if he wanted to go to sleep.

"No. There's nothing wrong in the last few days. However, there are indeed a few big things happening all around the world. The information has come from the Star Group."

"Must be Maya." Theo nodded in agreement.

"Yes. Great Britain has confirmed that the Death Reaper will retire from the world and focus on training the people. This is completely a lie because they can't inform the world that the Death Reaper has died in your hand.

"Still, many countries and big organizations will surely place their eyes on you. This will be dangerous for us."

Theo chuckled. "They have put a bounty on my head."

"I see." Rea thought for a moment and asked, "How about finding the person that put that bounty?"

"It's not that easy. For now, I'm going to remain in the mansion so that no one bothers to attack us."

"I understand. Our existences are not that known, so they won't realize we're protecting you. This will allow us to increase our strength for the time being."

"Yeah. At least they won't target you easily."

"In that case, I'll move on to the next news.." She nodded. "Because of the lack of response from the Death Reaper, the Sword Saint has become the new third strongest person in the world. Of course, the rest of the people have an increase in their rank.

"This means the current rank 11th in the world has now officially reached the big milestone."

"Who is this person?" Theo asked with a calm expression.

"I think I should show you the list of the top ten experts."

"Sure. That will help as well."

Rea then focused on the Skylink for a minute before showing it to him.

1. Aiden Turner (USA)

2. Feng Hao (China)

3. Nagasawa Ken (Japan)

4. Flora Wegener (Germany)

5. Chand Padhya (India)

6. Anwar Hadad (Egypt)

7. Alexandra Boric (Chile)historical

8. Haiskal Hetson (Finland)

9. Yaslev Alexandrovich Romanov (Russia)

10. Tirta Kurniawan (Indonesia)

Theo frowned when he looked at the list. They were really from all around the world. And even someone from the lower rank could possibly defeat someone from the higher rank as long as they had enough control over their Order.

In other words, although they were ranked like this, no one knew their exact rank because they didn't want to fight against each other for obvious reasons.

"I see." Theo narrowed his eyes. "It's good to know about this."

"Do you wish to become one of them?"

"I do, but that's just a plan for the future. After all, my original target was him." Theo pointed at the number eight.

"Haiskal Hetson?" Rea tilted her head in confusion.

"Yeah. His real name is Mason Griffith."

"Griffith?"

"Yeah. He is my grandfather." Theo stated. This time, Rea could feel killing intent and the coldness of his tone. It was clear that Theo hated this person. "So, the previous plan was for.."

"Yeah. I knew that the Griffith Family would be after me sooner or later. So, I wanted to use that plan to kill him as an assurance, but it seemed that not everything went according to the plan."

Rea closed her eyes. Since she was clear about Theo's real identity, that plan would truly succeed if the Death Reaper wasn't on the way.

"Wait a minute. You don't know about his real identity?" Theo raised his eyebrows, feeling weird. As the Sword Saint's daughter, she should have been aware of it.

However, Rea shook her head. "My father didn't really want us to go to this world that soon."

"I see. It's a cruel world where you need to constantly protect your life." Theo nodded.

"I promise that I'll learn more about this," Rea promised him again, afraid that she had just given a bad performance as a secretary. She had promised to work for him after all.

"Whatever. Anyway, any other update?"

"There is one more." Rea nodded and opened another page, showing him the news on the Skynet.

Robin Argaris, an unknown man from Colombia, has defeated Regure Hans, ranked 44th in the world.

"Hmm? Who is he?" Theo tilted his head in confusion.

"We don't know anything about it yet. I've asked Maya to investigate this person and also get some help from my connections back home. I believe we can get the information soon."

"I see." Theo opened the news and read it.

'Robin Agaris shocked the world with his performance. He defeated the current rank 44th in the world, Regure Hans, who was known as Tarot Seeker.

'A single punch from this unknown man shattered a mountain, forcing the Tarot Seeker to be on the defensive from the start.

'Their duel lasted for three hours and caused so much destruction around them. If it was on Earth, the damage alone might be around four billion Zils.

'After a gruesome three hours, Robin Agaris officially defeated Regure Hans and took over his rank.'

While he was reading, they received an email.

"Hmm? It seems the information has come in. Let me open it for you." Rea hurriedly opened the mail to show the result of the investigation.

However, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide and lower their jaws as they couldn't believe what they had seen.

The picture on the corner of the screen was a man with blue hair and blue eyes. And the name next to it showed his real identity.

Ray Griffith.

"This is.." Theo couldn't help but remember the talk he had with Nella when he was in Mongolia.

"Your father.. I mean, Uncle Ray is planning to do something big soon. Even I don't know what that is."

And that answer had finally arrived.
