Chapter 706 - Boris And Theo Part 2

"I know that this is not enough to repay you for what you have done, but I truly have no way to repay you anymore." He sighed. "Even if I want to say that you don't need to pay my daughter anything for becoming your assistant, it's not like this is enough to repay you.

"Also, I think you don't like me proposing that idea, so it's a no." Boris scratched the back of his head. "So, how should I repay this debt?"

Theo smiled and said, "Then, I have one request."

"Oh? Please say it. If it's something that I can do, I will do my best to complete it." Boris nodded in agreement. "Of course, I will give you my blessing if you want to marry my daughter. Well, it's just me supporting my daughter's feelings, so yeah."

"Let's drop the second half of your statement."

"Does that make you uncomfortable?" Boris raised his eyebrows.

"Yes. It's true that I will do my best to resolve it, but I don't like to have someone pushing it forcefully." Theo shook his head.

"Okay. I apologize if that made you uncomfortable. I'm sorry."

"Nah, it's fine." Theo sighed. "Anyway, my request is simple. I want you to make sure that the employees are not becoming jobless. As much as I love to see how these big influences are in disarray, I don't want to involve innocent people. You can use my money for this."

"That's an easy task. You don't need to spend your own money on this. I will handle it."

"I want to do it not only for the Pata Corporation's employees but also the Safulli Group," Theo added with a serious expression.

Even Boris was slightly surprised by his request. At the same time, he felt gratified that Theo wasn't some sort of sociopath.

"As you know, for innocent employees like them, there will be some sort of bias if they search for another job just because the Safulli Group did something like this. I mean, some companies won't care about this, but some will surely dislike them for no reason."

"Don't worry." Boris couldn't help but make a big smile. "I promise you that I will take care of them. I just feel glad that you're actually thinking about them. What was it again? I feel like you're a human too."

"So, you think I wasn't."

"To be honest, yes. I even thought you were a monster in human clothing. After all, your achievements were beyond my imagination.

"Of course, if we're talking about history here, there were many people of the same caliber as you, who climbed the ladder of the society and became a great person. But they were rare to come by. And there are not many of them in the present."

"Hoh? It seems you know some of them." Theo squinted his eyes.

"I think you have seen a few of them. First of all, it's that Maya Hamilton. She has become one of the youngest billionaires without the help of her grandfather. If you challenge her in business, I don't know what will happen. And she did it while having enough time to pursue her strength, surpassing what her father and grandfather could do.

"There are a few more, and they excel in many types. There is a man who masters politics and secretly controls a country in the shadows. There is a woman who can wield Time Element and become the first expert in her generation.

"And if we're thinking of how many of them are concealing themselves, I can't imagine their number." Boris shrugged. "Just like you who excel in this type of thing, they're the same."

"That's interesting. I want to learn from them." Theo smirked.

"Hahaha. Actually, I think you can learn from Maya Hamilton, right? I mean about business…"

"Fair enough, but I feel like I will be entangled by something annoying. Just take a look at her arrogance…" Theo sighed.

"But doesn't that make you feel safe? At least, she's not the type who will plot behind your back that easily." Boris chuckled.

Theo shrugged. "Anyway, that's all I want to say. I'm sure that you will get busy starting tomorrow."

"Indeed. I don't think I will have too much time to spend with my family for the next few months to take care of all this." Boris sighed and continued, "Well, I'm sorry for all your effort, but I am not planning to expand my business to the very limit.

"I just want something big enough to shelter my family. I think Agata has told you about this too, right?" Boris smiled. "For me, business is a good thing as long as I have enough time for my family."

"I can respect that." Theo nodded in agreement. "Alright. I think it's time for me to leave."

Before he could rise from his seat, Boris asked, "Actually, this is quite a sensitive topic, but I want to ask, what do you think of my daughter?"

Theo fell silent for a while before saying, "Someone who is understandable and never gives up on improving herself, and… someone who I can trust."

After saying those words, Theo used his Blink to leave the company.

On the other hand, Boris also closed his eyes. Those last few words made him happy as a big smile appeared on his face.

"Someone who you can trust your back huh…" Boris muttered and looked at the ceiling. "That's something easy to say for other people. But it's not that easy for someone who experiences that kind of past like you…"

He walked to the empty seat and sat on it, remembering the scene when Carmelo invaded this office.

"As much as I hate to say it, that old man is right. I was not as sharp as my old man, but it's fine… My daughter has far surpassed my old man and me." Boris smiled. "She doesn't need anything right now…

"So, what I need to do is to make sure I don't face another problem that will just burden her." Boris imagined his daughter's face and said, "Go forth and do whatever you want.. I won't chain you down here, my princess."
