Chapter 689 - Plan Started

When Theo presented that question, Agata widened her eyes. It seemed she still underestimated Theo despite being with him for so long.

Normally, in a dire situation like this, they didn't have that many choices. However, the fact that Theo could still give her options to choose meant he could do whatever he wanted with the Safulli Group.

Agata scratched the back of her head and sighed. "My family doesn't aim high. As long as the family can prosper, we use the rest to make our lives better. That's why my father doesn't marry me off.

"As long as my family doesn't get bullied anymore, I am already satisfied." Agata gave him a genuine answer. She didn't desire much like her upbringing, so this was her answer.

Theo, on the other hand, took her answer too literally.

"I see. You don't want your family to get bullied anymore. Okay, it means I should eliminate them." Theo nodded. "Well, I am already involved enough, so I think this is the best option."

"In that case, I need your help." Theo glanced at Lorenzo and Felice.

"I understand. I will do everything I can to complete the task." Lorenzo answered without hesitation.

"Calm down. I just want you to delay your stay for as long as you can. Just tell the others that the situation is stabilized, but they should stay there for a bit more." Theo explained.

"I see. How long do you need?"

"Three weeks at the very least." Theo raised three fingers. "After all, it will take me five days to return to Italy."

"I understand. It should be possible. I will just trap them into believing that Felice's condition has stabilized and we need to wait for a few days until she wakes up. There's also the case for Ignazio.

"After that, I will make them suspect each other and wait for a bit more. This way, we will return in three weeks." Lorenzo explained his plan on how to get them to wait.

"Yeah, I don't have a problem with it." Theo waved his hand. After that, he turned to Agata and asked, "I have something to tell you. Let's talk outside."

He extended his hand, preparing his Blink. She hesitated a bit but still grabbed his hand.

The two then disappeared from the tent.

"To be honest, your family will suffer a little bit because of this plan." Theo sighed.

"That's… our fault. I should have told you from the beginning instead of keeping it to myself."

"Well, I will try to do my best to lessen the damage, so yeah, I need your father's confirmation about this."

"I understand. As soon as we return, I will contact him." She nodded.

"No. Just give me his number and I will call him directly."

"Is it something I shouldn't know?"

"It is something only your father should know." Theo played with his words, implying that this was a secret not only to her but to anyone except her father.

"I understand. I will inform him that you're going to contact him later then."

"Yep." Theo nodded. "Alright. Let's start my plan then."

The moment they started their plan, no one was aware of what had happened.

The next day, Theo simply vanished from the camp, leaving Lorenzo's group behind. All his luggage other than his tent disappeared overnight.

Lorenzo came out of the tent in bewilderment, realizing that Theo had disappeared.

He went to another tent to check on Ignazio while searching for the two girls. Since their target was him, Ignazio didn't have any injuries. In fact, the two girls had bandaged all his wounds and left him alone.

The two girls returned with serious expressions.

"Sir." They greeted Lorenzo while observing the camp.

"Felice is safe and thank you for taking care of Ignazio." Lorenzo smiled.

"It's our job. Of course, we will take care of him. In fact, we're the one who needs to thank Sir. If not for your Teleportation, we would have died."

Lorenzo waved his hand and asked, "Where's Theo? I haven't seen him."

"We haven't seen him either."

Lorenzo frowned and muttered, "Did he leave? Was he afraid that the assassins might find us?"

He glanced at the two women with judging eyes as if showing his doubt to his own teammate.

It was clear that Olivia was the one who brought the assassins yesterday. Aside from Ignazio, who was lying in his tent alone and Lorenzo's personal assistant, they were the most suspicious people.

They immediately denied his accusation. "How can we?"

"It must be Olivia."

Lorenzo squinted his eyes and said, "I know that Theo helped me just because we're from the same family and I can't blame him for leaving. After all, we were attacked by Supreme Rank Experts.

"I have told him that if the assassins ambushed us again, it would be between you two. I'm sure that the War God Family will take drastic action." Lorenzo's tone was harsh as he meant to pressure both of them.

"I know that Sir is suspicious, but we would never do something like that."

"We have nothing to do with the assassins."

The two pleaded while Lorenzo harrumphed.

"For now, their condition has been stabilized. I will wait for them to wake up first before returning to Italy. Luckily, we have Teleported a few times and they shouldn't know our location. Even if they search for us, they will need a long time due to the big radius of their search area." Lorenzo turned around with a grim expression. "You two shouldn't have a problem with this, right?"

"Y-yes." The two girls furiously nodded, not having any other choice.

The day continued with tension in the air. On the other hand, Theo, Agata, and Ava had made their way home.

It took them five days to reach Italy and the first thing he did when he returned home was to contact Agata's father.

He was sitting with his Skylink in front of him, waiting for the connection to go through.

The beeping sound echoed in his ears as a middle-aged man appeared on the screen.

"Good day to you, Sir."
