Chapter 470 - Maya Hamilton

Sarah, his assistant from the Fighter Temple, notified him when she received the mission from Maya.

Theo obviously spared no time to meet her because he wanted to deal with her as soon as possible, so he could use his time to level up.

Still, Theo ended up in front of a sixty-story building. The building was wide, making it more majestic.

'She is one of the richest women in the world, I guess she will definitely stay inside the finest hotel in Thersland. Well, I think I know what kind of person I will be dealing with..' Theo scratched the back of his head. He recalled Maya's message.

"The top floor.. The presidential suite.. Seriously." Theo shook his head helplessly. And as expected, the security was no joke. He needed to have a few checks before he could enter the hotel..

To his surprise, a middle-aged woman approached him as if she knew who he was despite his mask and hat. He couldn't use Metamorphosis or his Joker identity in this hotel after all.

The middle-aged woman stopped before him and politely bowed her head with her hand on her chest. "She has been waiting for you, Mr. Griffith."

".." Theo fell silent and stared at this woman. She had long black hair gracefully tied on the back of her neck. She wore a light blue shirt and white pants.

"Apologies. I am Nikita, Miss Maya's head assistant." She introduced herself and continued, "I would like to lead you to the top floor to meet her."

Theo knew she was the real deal, so he nodded, "Okay. Please lead the way."

"Certainly." She nodded and extended her hand, asking Theo to follow her.

Theo took off his mask and hat while entering the elevator before reaching the top floor.

"There are only two rooms on this floor and miss is in the right room." She came out first, explained, and pointed at the right corridor.

The corridor alone was glamorous, but Theo felt nothing of all this and simply followed Maya's assistant.

Knock.

"Miss, I have brought him."

"Bring him in, Niki." Maya's voice echoed from behind the door.

Nikita reached the handle and opened it to Theo before adding, "It's Nikita."

".." Theo scratched the back of his head while making a weird expression. When he entered the room, he was greeted by a large living room.

The other end was a large glass stretching from one corner to another. In the middle of the room were several couches that could be used to enjoy the big television in front of them. On the right side, Theo found the kitchen, while the other side had another corridor that seemed to lead to another place.

Maya was sitting on the couch while raising her feet on top of it, enjoying it like she was in her home even though Theo had visited her.

"Come in, come in." Maya waved her hand while straightening her pose but still crossing her legs on the couch. She wore a plain light-blue t-shirt and short pants to make it feel like home.

"Well, we are not discussing business here, so I hope you don't mind if I am this casual." Maya pointed at the couch. "Just sit wherever you want."

"I am sorry, Mr. Griffith. Young Miss has the tendency of being wild. Even her friends or teammates can't handle her.." Nikita apologized and said, "Though, I hope you don't lower your guard too much."

"Oi, Niki. Why did you tell him?" Maya complained and sighed. However, she still continued wiping a long rifle on her embrace, taking care of it.

"Is this how you do business?" Theo asked with a poker face and sat down on a single-person couch.

"As I said, this is not a business." Maya shook her head. "There won't be a negotiation or whatsoever. It's just a discussion between friends."

"Whose friend?" Theo turned to Nikita as if asking her about Maya's statement.

".." Maya only stared at him with blank eyes. "Uah, this guy is indeed one of a kind. I still remember when he didn't act nicely toward Agata. Normally, I would have people saying nice things to me."

"Let me see.. They're people who are sucking up to you, your admirers, or your subordinates." Theo shrugged.

"Haha, I like you already." Maya laughed as if she was amused.

"And I don't like you already." Theo smiled. "When will you stop looking down on me?"

"Until our status is equal," Maya answered without hesitation as if she didn't doubt her view. "Still, you seem to have some experience in dealing with someone like me."

"Yeah. You are similar to the person I know."

"Alea Eilric?" Maya smirked.

Theo didn't answer her, but Maya still continued, "Though, I am richer, more arrogant, and more uncontrollable than her."

"You take pride in it?" Theo's eyebrows twitched.

"Of course." Maya nodded. "What? I built my own business empire from scratch without the help of my parents. This empire allows me to be arrogant. And no one can control me because I achieve all this without any help. I don't give a damn if people don't like my attitude, but this is me, man."

Theo smiled and said, "You said you will stop looking down on me when our status is equal, right?"

"Of course. First of all, due to the contract, you can't use your status from the Griffith Family." She shrugged. "Tell me, why should I stop looking down on you? If you don't like me, it's simple. Prove it to me that you're higher than me. Either you kill me, destroy my business, or push me down. I am simply a rude and arrogant crazy rich girl. What do you want to do about it?"

"Okay." Theo nodded and snapped his finger.

Nikita's body shook as she wanted to make a move as soon as Theo used her power. However, Maya stopped her with a wave of her hand while watching what Theo wanted to do.

Suddenly, the sink in the kitchen started running and Theo gathered the water, forming a snake on top of his head. It was far more detailed than his eel, even though the size was smaller. But this was enough for Maya to recognize Theo what he wanted to show.

"Materialization.."

Theo waved his hand and splashed the water snake to make Maya wet.

Maya raised her left and formed a metal shield, blocking all the water and dropping to the carpet. She laughed while retracting her shield, saying, "Attacking someone you just met, you're rude, aren't you? Hahaha, I like it."

"Not as rude as you."
