Chapter 1297 Phantom Archer
"Yes. Then, we'll go separate ways from here." Felix nodded with a serious expression. "But are you sure you're alright with this?"
"Don't worry. Even if I can't fight against the monsters, I have the ability to escape." Theo patted Felix's shoulder while assuring him to not worry about him too much. Felix always worried too much after all.
"I understand." Felix was a bit reluctant but still trusted Theo.
"042, you can go back with them." Theo pointed at Felix and Ryo. "They can testify for you."
"Thank you." 042 thanked Theo politely since this meant she would be able to work with Maya directly. She had achieved her objective.
Suddenly, Felix and Theo raised their hands, looking at the rooftop of the building next to them.
"That's.." Theo glanced at Felix, who confirmed his suspicion. "Your friend."
"Yeah."
After arriving at the building rooftop, it seemed she was going down properly.historical
In the meantime, Theo turned to Rea. "You're going with me to the other side. I'll train you personally there; you can't complain about my conditions."
"I understand." Rea agreed since she had prepared for this training. In fact, she was looking forward to what kind of training Theo would give. Agata had glorified it, so it made her a bit excited.
Before long, a woman suddenly walked toward them. She had long black hair and a poker face. Even though she was an archer that could snipe someone from far away, there was no trace of a bracelet, ring, or even a real item as her weapons. It seemed that she truly came to this place bringing only her body.
"Hello." The woman nodded to them.
"Hello, thank you for the help." Theo smiled.
"I was just repaying the favor." The woman glanced at Felix. "I have repaid the favor of saving my life, S Rank Assassin, the White Death, Felix Holt."
"White Death?" Theo tilted his head in confusion while Rea gasped.
After searching for the people who put a bounty on Theo's head, Rea found the name of the White Death. She immediately gasped and looked at Felix. "You are the White Death?"
042 also dropped her jaw, recognizing this title. There was a trace of fear when she looked at Felix.
"So, you're famous, Felix?" Theo looked at him with a poker face.
"Famous? Don't use simple terms like that one. He's more than famous." Rea sucked a cold breath. "Rank 6th registered assassin in the world. If it's in the world ranking, his rank should be around 400-500. But he is an assassin, even if the enemy is a rank 300-400 person, he would be able to kill them." Rea explained. Of course, she dared to reveal all that information because they were standing in a slightly remote area where not many people passed by.
"Oh?" Theo nodded. He had expected something like this, considering Felix's strength was extraordinary. He figured out that Felix would be able to match Walker despite the latter using his unbreakable chain.
"I have stopped working as an assassin." Felix shook his head calmly. "So, please don't call me with my title."
Felix wasn't worried about Theo knowing his identity. In fact, he thought Theo was already aware of it before recruiting him.
It turned out that Theo was unaware of his identity. It meant Theo valued him as Felix Holt, not the master assassin. It meant a lot to him since it showed Theo's sincerity.
"Still, why did you just know about it?" Theo asked Rea.
"In that list, everyone has their own codename. There's no real name, so I never expect that he is the White Death." Rea shook her head helplessly.
"Well, in terms of assassination, I guess you're already above me." Felix looked at the woman. "Right? Phantom Archer?"
"Phantom Archer?" Rea dropped her jaw again. "Rank 7th in the list, Phantom Archer. It's said that both Phantom Archer and White Death were rivals."
"I never surpassed his rank despite him being too focused on his family. Tsk." The woman clicked her tongue, annoyed.
"Ah, sorry." Rea calmed down and apologized since it was rude to compare them even though she was shocked.
"No problem. Anyway, I helped you just to repay him. So, you don't need to think much about it. Now that I've finished my job, it's time for me to leave." The woman nodded her head.
"Wait a minute." Theo opened his mouth, stopping her.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Do you have any thoughts about joining my group? I mean, working under someone?"
"I'm sorry.." The woman bowed her head as the answer.
"I see.." Theo had expected this after Felix's reminder.
"I've told you. So—" Felix wanted to remind Theo again, but as if the woman had a grudge against him, she suddenly added, "Though, if you can fulfill what I want, I don't mind working for you for a period of time."
"What?" Felix was dumbfounded as this was the first time the Phantom Archer took the initiative.
"A condition?"
"Yes. Well, I don't have much knowledge about this, but after seeing your power, I know one thing. You have the ability to fulfill what I want.. In exchange for the information, I don't mind working for you for ten years, considering the importance of that knowledge."
"Hmm.." Theo contemplated for a moment before asking, "Sure. It doesn't hurt to listen to the condition first."
"Alright." The woman took a deep breath before stating, "I want to be a 'Queen.' Please fulfill that."
"A Queen?" The request was truly unexpected, making them think that the Phantom Archer was a nobility from some countries. However, Theo was the first one to realize her true intention.
He looked at the woman dumbfoundedly, asking, "What you mean by 'Queen' is that kind of queen, right?"
The woman nodded with a poker face. "Yes. I want to be that kind of Queen. I will work for you for ten years. In exchange, please teach me about Order."
