Chapter 885 – Agreement
"See you in a few years," said Ava while looking at Theo. She had told him everything during their trip, so there wasn't anything that needed to be said.
Theo smiled and gently patted her head while placing his Friend Seal on her. "I'm looking forward to our next meeting."
"Mhm. I'll be stronger than you at that time."
"Haha, we don't know that." Theo chuckled and finally turned around, leaping from the dragon's back. "See you in a few years, Ava."
Ava waved her hand and watched him float to the old couple.
On the other hand, Theo didn't forget to hide his Dark Blue Magic Power with the normal Magic Power so that no one knew he had an Order.
"Since everything is settled, it's time for me to return." The dragon smiled and turned around, flying back.
Kurgarm also had the same idea and walked away without saying anything, leaving Theo with the old couple alone.
Since Hendry and his wife didn't come immediately, they were not aware of Theo's King Identity. They simply treated him as someone who had a relationship with World Class Monsters and a very intelligent rabbit.
Theo looked at the old couple and nodded his head to greet them. "Hello, my name is Theodore Griffith."
"I'm Hendry, and this is my wife, Vanessa. Don't worry. We won't say a single thing about what happened today, even if Bernard or Maya ask about it. The destruction caused by a World Class Monster isn't something that we want to see anyway." Hendry explained.
"Thank you."
"So, what are you planning to do right now? No one told us anything about your arrival."
"My original plan was to sneak in and call Sir Bernard or Maya to deal with the rest."
"I see. In that case, I can help you with that." Hendry pointed at his wife. "She'll inform Bernard and Maya about your arrival, and I'll bring you inside. How's that?"
"Actually, now that I have met both of you, I have come up with another plan."
"Ho?" Hendry narrowed his eyes, curious about Theo's ability. "What is it?"
historical
"I want to ask you to come up with a backstory for me."
"That's an easy task. We will also register you in another Temple."
"There's no need for that." Theo shook his head and handed him his ID Card.
Name: Joker
Level: 521
Attributes: Strength A, Endurance B, Agility B, Vitality B, Magic Power A
Health Problem: -
Privilege: Silver
Kill: 79,430 (+)
Zils: 0
Contribution Points: 446,300 (446,300)
"I made this card in Thersland, so the record should be good enough."
"I see. In that case, we can inform others that you are the person we found while we're retired on the other side. And we bring you to the Star Group because of your talent. You're alone anyway, so you agree with us. This should be the simple version, and it's quite believable since people know we're truly retired on this side."
"That's good." Theo nodded in agreement.
"What else do you need?"
"If possible, don't tell Sir Bernard and Maya about this. And I'd like to join the Star Group."
"So, you want to rise from the bottom?" Hendry furrowed his eyebrows before realizing Theo's other intention. "Ah, hiding in the bottom while receiving abundant resources."
"Yes. I'm not planning to use this face since people believe I'm dead." Theo confirmed his guess.
"No wonder. We can arrange that, but it's impossible not to tell Bernard about this. After all, it's a big matter for the Star Group. He, the CEO, should know something."
"Well, if it's only him.."
"Anyway, Bernard will also play an act for this. We'll just have him tell others that you're someone we find, not him. It should be enough to dispel others' doubts."
"Yeah. That's fine."
"Do you need anything else? I believe it's better to change your fighting style since millions of people have watched your video."
"Don't worry." Theo turned his ring into a blade instead of a spear.
"You're prepared, aren't you?" Hendry chuckled.
"If possible, I want to act alone without being chained by a group," Theo added another condition.
"Act alone? That's quite hard since most of our people are in a group. At the very least, they're in pairs."
Theo thought for a moment and summoned his clone before changing his appearance. He turned into a red-haired guy. "This should be enough, right?"
"I see. With your real appearance getting hidden underneath your mask, your clone becomes a red-haired guy.. That should be enough. We can cover that up. Do you want that guy to be in the Star Group or not?"
"Can I choose the latter?"
"Yeah. Just outside help. It's an easy thing to cover."
"That one please."
"Sure. Anything else?"
"My last request is to lower the amount of time I need to serve the Star Group."
Hendry's expression turned serious as their ten years Mythical Rank agreement was a must. He scratched the back of his head and said, "It's the hardest thing to do because no one has been given such an exemption before.
"But since you saved us earlier, we could make the contract a secret and lower it to.. probably five years. That's the limit I can do."
"That should be fine." Theo agreed with him. Five years of service after becoming a Mythical Rank Expert was something he could endure.
"Good." Hendry sighed. "Still, because of the scenario you choose, I need you to follow me to the Star Group to undergo the normal test. This is to record your performance and show the reason why I give you an exemption. If possible, I want you to release all your power during the test.
"The bigger the impression, the better. Even though I know you want to hide your strength, this is something I can't give up.
"The Star Group has several spies mixed in, so if they find you during the inspection or audit, they might signal their own influences about your existence. At that time, we don't even know when they start moving.
"So, we want them to notice you from the beginning. Because of this, they will only watch over you instead of doing something in the darkness."
"That should be fine."
"Is your Joker identity well known in Thersland?"
"Not really. I think only my teammates as well as the Temple Staff know this identity."
"Okay. That's enough. We can discuss the rest after settling your matter.. Let's go to the city."
