"Hahaha, this is interesting. I guess everyone has some interest in him." Laughter erupted as all of them turned around, finding a blonde woman having a smug smile on her face.
"It's weird if you don't put some importance on him." Cheng Sui shook his head helplessly.
"Indeed. Hahahaha!" She chuckled and opened her mouth. Even though her words looked arrogant, her tone wasn't. "Theodore Griffith. Be mine! I will give you all skills, money, women, and whatever you want! I will also bring you whatever teacher you want. Skilled Teacher, Lewd Teacher, or even No Teacher.
"There is only one thing I want from you. You need to go on an expedition once every three months. Other than that, you are free! I am not someone who will play words with you since I am talking to you, not from my usual business self or anything. Hahahaha!" Maya laughed out loud.
What she said held some truth because Maya had many companies under her, giving her huge revenue every year. And people like her usually hired powerful people to protect their company and their lives to avoid getting assassinated by their competitors. They were also good at covering that kind of incident up since they had money to spare.
However, Maya also added, "As for my country, they are the same. It's just you need to come to their military school as they will also prepare a green card for you. That's all."
"…" Theo's eyebrows twitched, wondering if she truly negotiated with him this way. But thanks to her, he could understand the proposal easily without worrying about any tricks or whatsoever.
Cheng Sui sighed and shook his head helplessly. "Her proposal aside, you alone are worth two people, so I believe we can do it in a better way. We will train you to be a peerless expert so no one can bully you anymore. We will prepare the contract if you wish for it."
"You will probably add many clauses to trap him in your country, right?" Maya made a smug smile.
"I advise you not to talk about countries in front of me unless you are planning to create an unnecessary fuss between the two countries." Cheng Sui squinted his eyes.
"This is why we will never get along." She sneered.
"Alright, alright. Please make this conversation civil." Enrica shook her head, trying to stop them.
"Why are you acting like a saint? Are you a saintess?" Maya glared at Enrica.
"That's what people call me." Enrica smiled, indirectly answering her question. "If you come to Italy, we can promise you to train your Awareness to the best of our ability. And since your Control is also extraordinary, we can work together with it. With the two combinations, you will understand that real power doesn't come from mere skills but from the way we use those skills.
"Besides, you can take Agata as your wife, you know. She seems to be interested in you too." Enrica chuckled while looking away.
"Oi! You are cheating!" Cheng Sui gritted his teeth. "You can have his body, but you can't have his heart!"
"No, no. You can have his heart, but not his body. They are literally trying to seduce his heart to stay." Maya shook her head. "This is why you shouldn't bring a muscle brain here."
"What did you say?" Cheng Sui glared at her as they had another staring contest.
"Shoo, shoo. It's cheating. I don't approve of this relationship." Nella pouted behind Theo and tried to push them away.
"I am sorry, but what I need is his consent, not yours." Enrica rebuked her with a small smile.
"…" Nella glared at her.
"Just ignore them." Clark came while shaking his head. Zara was supposed to be handling this, but because of Theo's action back in the hospital, she didn't know whether the conversation could go smoothly. Hence, she asked Clark to handle Theo.
"How is your condition?"
"I can do some basic activities, but nothing past that." Clark shrugged. "Anyway, if you go to the UK, you can meet Nella every now and then since you will be close to her. Also, we are more of an all-rounder, so we can fulfill everything you want to a very high level."
"Heh, jack of all trades? You still can't beat someone who masters one thing." Maya shook her head in disappointment.
"It's better than having no option. You say you can hire many teachers, but I wonder if those teachers are more qualified than the teachers we can prepare…" Clark stuck his tongue out.
"Ho?!" Maya's expression turned serious.
Meanwhile, Alea could only watch Theo from afar with a worried expression. Theo certainly deserved such attention from all those people, but she couldn't put a smile on her face with the thought of Theo leaving the country.
Despite being her junior, Theo had been teaching her many things and brought the team to this glory. She wanted him to stay for a bit longer in Thersland so she could repay him, albeit her words only meant for a chain to bind him. It wasn't something that would be appreciated by other countries.
Alea could only shake her head helplessly and turn around, watching him from afar as she returned to Ellen and the others.
"Wait a minute. I think you forgot about us." Mami suddenly smirked as she looked at Theo. "I am impressed by your ability, but I know that your strength is in that brain of yours. I am more interested in that because I know that you can rise even higher than your current self.
"Also, have you ever thought about getting an Original Technique? This is the best offer we can give you. Wait, no, with your Control, I believe you can reach the Divine Technique level. This power doesn't require any skill slot because it completely depends on your Magic Power and Control.
"This way, you can wield more than ten "skills" and allocate other skills to something that suits your current self. Hence, I believe Japan is the best country to nurture you."
"Don't trust someone who just lost to you. I'm sure they still carry some grudges against you." Cheng Sui shook his head while looking at Mami and Enrica.
It seemed their argument would still continue.
