Chapter 381 - Bye

After meeting Agata, Theo went to another place to meet another representative. He had been doing it for three hours and had visited a total of seven influences, but the one that made him go through so many thoughts was Agata.

First of all, she was lucky to request a personal meeting when Theo was about to visit them to get their money. If not, she would have spent a considerable amount of money to search for his whereabouts just to meet him.

Though Theo might meet her if Enrica or Ignazio told him that Agata just entered Thersland to discuss the matter of cooperation.

Either way, Theo continued the meeting for another few hours to get all the money just by doing a visit to their company. Considering they had realized there were many groups that wanted him as well, they didn't offer so much money and tried to entice Theo with only their contract.

And since Theo just went back to consider it, they couldn't do much.

However, everything changed when Theo reached the last place that gave him the highest amount of money. There was even a huge leap between the second and this Faerie Group.

He sat on a two-foot-wide red couch, facing a famous middle-aged man. Yes, the middle-aged man was none other than the Faerie Group's leader, Rolf Steen.

Everything started peacefully like formally greeting him and such, but when Theo thought the conversation was over, Rolf applied some pressure on Theo as the ground beneath him began to crack.

"What are you planning to do?" Theo's tone was extremely cold, releasing his killing intent.

"You can't go." Rolf snorted and took out a contract. "You can only go after signing this contract."

Theo just took a glance at the contract and found two points that disgusted him. Basically, the contract wanted him to be their slave even if he went to another influence in the future.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Theo shook his head helplessly.

"I can assure you that you can't leave this place without signing this contract." Rolf glared back, confronting him head-on.

"Don't you think it's too much to bully a junior like me?"

"It's your fault for standing out too much." He snorted.

"You can come up with better lines if you want to coerce me to sign this slave contract."

The atmosphere of the room became even colder as the cold wind started blowing in the room. Ice started to spread from Rolf's hands and feet.

Theo's expression remained calm as if he had predicted this. He even clapped his hands and said, "Congratulations. You are the first one to coerce me."

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Theo suddenly fell silent while saying, "Anyway, before you do anything, it's better to mark the mission as complete first."

"Do you think you are in a position to demand something from me?"

"So, you don't want to talk about the contract?" Theo asked.

"Wha—" Rolf dropped his jaw and looked at him in shock. "What did you say?"

"Listen here. Since I don't have an escape route here, shouldn't I fight for a better contract?" Theo shrugged. "That's why I'm asking you to mark my mission as complete first to show your sincerity. After that, we can go through the contract together."

Rolf raised his eyebrows, never expecting Theo to suddenly change his mind, especially after he appeared so adamant earlier. "You.. You want to sign the contract?"

"Isn't that what you want? It's not like I'm planning to die here. Let's just consider this place as my bad luck." Theo shrugged with a calm expression. "Stop wasting time."

historical

"You.." Rolf narrowed his eyes. Obviously, it would be good for him if Theo signed the contract willingly.

However, Theo kept looking down on him and ignored his reaction. "Faerie Group Master, can't you see that I'm in a hurry right now?"

"You dare to talk like that to me?" The veins on his forehead bulged as he never thought a mere brat dared to look down on him.

Albeit, Theo simply stated with a cold tone. "Should we fight it out then? If you have watched my performance in the Grand Gaia, you should know that I am still capable of killing myself while creating a small disturbance in this area, making everyone know that you're the one who kills me."

"You ca—" Rolf was about to show his power, but his body shook as he quickly said, "Wait. I understand.."

He opened his Skylink and marked the mission as complete while maintaining eye contact with Theo to ensure he didn't do anything foolish. After all, it was better to solve it peacefully.

"I have been learning so much, including strategy, baiting, trickery. You can't even use honey traps to bring me down." Theo sighed while taking the contract and opening it as if he wanted to read the whole contract. "To think my greed would lead me to my own doom."

"It's just you who thinks that way. You are just a mere brat with a little bit of confidence under your belt." Rolf sneered.

Theo's expression turned extremely cold as he rose from the seat, releasing his Magic Power. "Do you want me to rip this contract and fight it out?"

Rolf gritted his teeth and knew Theo was unpredictable in battle, so he swallowed his pride. "Sorry, continue."

"Your brain is not even as good as the people I fought in the tournament.. Haiz, it seems I have been too full of myself." Theo sighed. "I am so embarrassed."

"You are—"

Before Rolf continued, Theo stopped him and said with a strict tone. "Shut up. Do you want me to sign the contract or not?!"

Rolf's body shook, but before he reacted, Theo gave another surprise.

"Do you have a pen?" Theo extended his hand.

Rolf's anger subsided again as he instinctively grabbed the pen from his pocket and threw it to Theo.

Theo caught it and opened the contract. To Rolf's surprise, he signed the contract, closed it and handed the contract to him.

"Hmph. You are at least smarter than your foolish talk." Rolf sneered and opened the contract to check his signature, only to find two words instead of a sign.

F*ck you.

In that instant, Rolf's anger took over as he raised his vision, seeing Theo pointing both his middle fingers as his figure disappeared, showing he was only a clone.

"Bye, you old sh*t!"

Rolf instinctively crushed the contract.. He was fuming in anger as he couldn't help but shout. "You motherf—"
