Chapter 903 - Troublemaker

*Hiss!* Kain and Emma gulped down. Cold sweat covered their backs as they couldn't believe what they saw.

"Is that.." Emma narrowed her eyes, wondering if that was a real soul.

"Is this the reason why Sir Hendry brought him here?" Kain looked down, falling into deep thought.

"Soul. That is one powerful ability. If he can actually fight and capture someone's soul, he's bound to be powerful in the future." Emma muttered in a low voice, never thinking she would see something like this in a battle between the Supreme Rank Experts. "Should we stop him now? It's getting dangerous."

While Kain and Emma wondered what they should do, Theo kept looking down on Mark and said coldly, "Is that not enough? Then, let's go with your other hand."

He waved his sword again, and the Death Avatar followed his movement, cutting Mark's left hand.

In that instant, the pain spread again. Mark couldn't endure the pain as he screamed, "Aaaaahhhhh!"

While raising his left hand, Theo asked, "Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be burned by a flame from hell?"

A purple flame suddenly appeared on the Death Avatar's hand and gradually approached Mark.

"D-don't.." Mark widened his eyes and wanted to stop him. The right side of his body gradually felt warm, meaning Theo indeed wanted to burn him.

As if feeling it had become more dangerous, Emma and Kain finally landed on the ground and said, "I think that's the end, young man. This is just a spar."

Theo turned his head around and shook his head. "For you, it's just a spar. For me, it's a battle that I can't afford to lose."

"You have won already. Why are you like this?" Emma made a wry smile, not understanding Theo's brain.

"We bet before the fight." Theo shrugged. "He's a level 600 expert, and I'm almost 100 levels lower than him. He's bullying me."

'Fuck bullying. You're the one bullying him.' Emma's eyebrows twitched, wanting to snarl.

Kain, on the other hand, kept his calm and said, "We both are from the Star Group. Don't you think it's best to keep everything civil?"

"You think?" Theo released his killing intent while stating, "I just joined two days ago, and he already came to challenge me. With such a thing going on, do you think I will have a good life here? He was asking for trouble, so I only did everything necessary."

Emma and Kain fell silent and looked at Mark, who was still crawling on the ground, unaware that everything was just a mere illusion.

"This.." Emma scratched the back of his head and said, "We can forcefully stop you though."

"Then, do you want to do it? Let's see who is faster?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"Boy. Don't be that hard-headed. You don't want to challenge a Mythical Rank Expert, you know." Emma sighed.

"Mythical Rank Experts who want my life already reach two digits. One more is not a problem for me," said Theo with confidence.

Even Emma was bewildered as Theo's words didn't feel like he was joking.

"What do you want then?" Kain asked with a serious expression.

"I have three conditions. First, he needs to fulfill his bet without using any tricks whatsoever. Second, he can't plot against me. Third, I'll keep that thing." Theo pointed at the soul above him.

The third condition was frowned upon. Even the two Mythical Rank Experts didn't know how to deal with this situation.

Kain suddenly dispelled the barrier and checked on Mark first while Emma called someone. "I should give this matter to someone more important, I guess."

"Hello? For you to call me this late, is there something wrong?"

"Yeah. There is a small conflict in the Star Battlefield, and I think you might want to deal with this, Sir Bernard."

"A small conflict? Who fought who?"

"From what I know, Mark challenged Joker. And now, his soul was confiscated by Joker."

"WHAT?!" Bernard was shocked and said, "Put me in the video. Let me see what's going on there!"

Emma immediately pointed her Skylink to Theo and Mark, showing the result of their battle.

Because Emma mentioned 'soul,' Bernard's eyes were locked to Theo's Death Avatar that held a translucent body.

He facepalmed and asked, "What the heck is going on?"

Theo pointed at Mark and said nonchalantly. "He challenged me and agreed to bet. If I let him go, wouldn't my life be in danger? What if he plotted against me in the future?"

Bernard's face became distorted as he wanted to smack Theo's head as hard as possible. He never thought Theo would create this chaos not long after he was admitted.

Inside, he was screaming, 'Fuck plotted. Fuck challenged you! What kind of bullsh*t was that?! You must be the one plotting against him! With a brain like yours, do you think I will believe you?'

However, he couldn't say any of that. No one knew Theo's capability. In others' perspectives, Theo was supposed to be bullied. If he didn't have this ability, he would be the one beaten like that.

Bernard suddenly felt a headache and started regretting his decision. After hiding his real identity, he never thought Theo would act like this and realized Theo appeared like a good boy because that was his public image. Now that he didn't need to care about his public image, he could become a bastard.

"What do you want?" Bernard gritted his teeth.

historical

Theo stated his terms, and as expected, Bernard frowned when he heard the third term.

"Can you change the third one?"

"It's for safety measures."

"Can't you do it for me?" Bernard asked again.

"As I told you, he could plot against me after this duel." Theo pointed at Mark. "I couldn't hold back because he almost defeated me, so this is the result. Not my fault. Come on. If I was the one in his position, I would lose a few billion."

Bernard pinched the bridge of his nose and asked, "Please. It's me who is asking you. If he truly plots against you, I will deal with it personally."

"You can also betray me together with him." Theo shrugged.

Bernard's patience started running out. "That's enough. Remember, this is not your turf anymore."

"So, you're threatening me now?"

"Just treat it as me owing you a favor, okay?" Bernard clenched his fists, remembering how Hendry warned him that Theo couldn't die in this place or their Star Group would be destroyed. "I don't want to have any conflict with you.. Don't make it hard for me."

"Fine, fine. As long as you can promise me he won't do something like this anymore and plot against me, I can agree with you." Theo shrugged.

"Okay. Thanks." Bernard let out a long sigh, feeling frustrated.. Little did he know, Theo acted like that for another reason.
