Chapter 685 - Ambush

"We were ambushed," Lorenzo said with a low voice. "One of us is dead and the others are like what you see right now. I'm going to talk to you after Felice recovers. The situation might be more complicated than what I can see right now."

Theo furrowed his eyebrows. When Lorenzo released him, he took another look at Felice's condition and nodded. "Follow me."

"Understood. Thank you." Lorenzo nodded with a long sigh.

He followed Theo to the camp while bringing all these people with him.

"Liza," Theo called Agata before looking at the others. "Take care of Ignazio and the others. I'm going to help Felice."

"Understood." Agata, who already used her Mimicry Skill, immediately moved toward them and extended her hand, trying to redirect them somewhere.

Meanwhile, Theo brought Felice into his tent before asking whether Lorenzo wanted to follow him or not.

Considering he wanted to talk about something to Theo, Lorenzo agreed and took a sip of water to freshen his mind.

Theo took out a Material Card from inside his bag before tossing it to Lorenzo. "Use this. She should be able to recover soon."

"!!!" Lorenzo dropped his jaw while trembling, never expecting Theo to give him something like this. He raised his head with a doubtful look. "Theo… This…"

"It's fine. Just use it on her." Theo shook his head.

He hesitated and looked at the card for a few seconds.

Coal Bandage (B)

Closing external wounds within seconds. Effective until it is covered with other substances.

This was the bandage Theo got from killing a General Class Monster back in Thersland. The monster was a powerful Supreme Rank Monster, so this kind of item was so precious.

Now that Theo had learned a bit of the Order, he thought this Material Card would be related to the mummy's Order, making it even more precious.

However, Theo simply gave it to Lorenzo as if it wasn't that big of a deal.

'You really…' Lorenzo gritted his teeth and looked at his woman's condition. "Thank you!"

Lorenzo immediately used the Material Card to get the black-colored bandage before putting it on Felice's wounds. When there was a wound, the bandage started absorbing the blood and closing it, making the black color blurry. Soon, a portion of the bandage turned white and the blood started sticking on it.

Felice's wound had already closed by the time the part of the bandage turned into a normal one. This was the wonder of a B Rank Material he received from a monster that had started understanding its Order.

Lorenzo was surprised and came to a realization. Theo was indeed someone who would help the people on his side. This was even more precious because Theo didn't have many friends.

'I am going to pay you in the future, Brother.' Lorenzo swore in his heart as he continued wiping the wound with the bandage.

"You can finish this first. I'm going to check on Agata and Ignazio first." Theo waved his hand, not caring about calling Agata's false name because Lorenzo had already known her situation.

"Yes. Once again… Thank you."

"Don't mind." Theo waved his hand before leaving the tent. He saw the people were erecting another tent to take care of Ignazio.

After noticing him, Agata hurriedly put down Ignazio and walked to him. "Do you know anything about this?"

"Not sure, but don't mention anything for the time being." Theo shook his head. "Also, have Ava accompany you and try to get as much information as possible from them."

"Got it." Agata nodded and returned.

The others began to wash his wound before dressing his wounds. Theo didn't give him a portion of the Coal Bandage because their relationship wasn't as close as Lorenzo's, so he just let Ignazio be taken care of normally.

He was curious about the others as well because he never saw them.

In the end, he saw Lorenzo sticking his head out of the tent. He immediately walked toward him and entered the town. "How is she?"

Lorenzo smiled and glanced at the unconscious Felice. "She will be fine. The wounds have gone. We only need to wait until she wakes up."

Lorenzo cut the bandage where it began to change its color before handing the remaining part to Theo. "Thank you so much. I will pay this debt soon."

"It's fine. You have helped me in the past too." Theo waved his hand and stored the bandage inside his bag before checking Felice's body, making sure Lorenzo didn't hold back in healing her just because the bandage was his.

Knowing that he had indeed closed all her wounds, Theo asked, "So, do you want to tell me what happened?"

"Yeah, sure." Lorenzo nodded with a serious expression. "First of all, the other three are Sieg, Elsa, and Olivia. Olivia died when we were ambushed…

"In fact, I already have some suspicion of Olivia being a spy from another family. And when we were exhausted, a group of Supreme Rank Experts ambushed us. They all tried to kill me, so I immediately used my Teleportation skill.

"Felice and Ignazio were protecting me, so their condition was like that. I used Teleportation a few times in order to go back to Italy until we met you.

"For now, I don't think the enemies will come to us, but we still need to remain vigilant."

Theo narrowed his eyes and scratched the back of his head. "There are so many things I want to ask after listening to this nonsense, but this is the truth, right?"

"Yes. Their target seems to be me." Lorenzo admitted without hesitation.

"You? Seriously? Is there really someone who dares to eliminate you, the son of the current family head of the War God Family?"

"I think. I have some suspicions, but if I die, you will most likely be asked to remain in Italy to inherit the house. Do you know what I mean?"

"So, they want to kill you to make me the successor?"

"Exactly."

"There are still Luka and Mara. If Ignazio died, Mara would be enraged."

"I think so. That's why I don't think this is the work of an insider.. I need your expertise to figure this out… I'm gonna make those bastards pay for this with their lives."
