Chapter 529: Arm and Ear

Her heart started to pound... but not for a pleasant reason. The sect's matriarch looked at Theo in awe. Unexpectedly, Kauana was telling the truth: she actually knew it and even managed to get Theo to appear.

Impossible!

She wanted to deny that. However, when she felt Theo's aura touch her, the Matriarch shivered with fear and wanted to kneel down and ask for forgiveness automatically.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" The pair of golden wings on Theo's back in full splendor opened up, and he glided in the direction of the Matriarch. Theo's sharp, cold gaze was capable of piercing the bones and freezing the blood.

Coming out of the rubble of the house the whole structure crashed and broke. The Matriarch looked in the direction of Theo, who was gliding with an amazingly terrifying speed. Her heart was stuck in her throat and she felt anguished as if she were about to cry. Everything was unreal and incomprehensible.

How did a useless person like Kauana manage to get the almighty Theo to come and help her?

No! Something was certainly wrong here! She couldn't believe it; she didn't want to believe it was happening.

"No idea? Oh, it's really funny that you think that way." Theo laughed coldly as if he were reading her mind, bringing panic and even more fear, "Weren't you acting all-powerful just now while hitting my friend?"

That question caused the place to freeze. It was difficult even to breathe. Theo disdained them all from beginning to end, sparing none of the sect who harmed his friends. In fact, in front of him, they all felt small and insignificant. The gratification and prestige that Theo brought to Planet Spirit was immeasurable.

Shaking, she asked, "An arm?"

A good connoisseur would understand. She meant that if she took out an arm it would be enough to purge her sin.

"..."

Biting her bottom lips, looking at Theo in awe, she asked in a shaky voice, "An arm and an ear?"

"Okay." That simple confirmation. It was both a relief to hear, but also a nightmare.

The Matriarch bit her lip hard, and with determination she cut off her ear and left arm.

Then, she looked into Theo's bright, agonized demonic eyes.

That face that he could cause a nation to collapse had exposed a cold, smiling expression that seems to ridicule her cowardice and incompetence.

Theo did not speak to them anymore. Approaching Kauana, he healed her with his Mana. He couldn't expose his [Healing] ability, at least not in front of so many people. Besides, only his Mana was enough for now. He also approached Naiane and healed her with his Mana as well.

Without warning, he made the two girls float with his mental power. Then he turned and said solemnly to the Matriarch, "I'm taking them with me, and it's better for you to forget about wanting to see them again... If that happens, well, let's say you won't get out of this just by losing an arm and an ear."

With that said, Theo disappeared from in front of their eyes.

Theo teleported with Kauana and Naiane in tow to Volts City, using [Healing] on them, and the two girls woke up.

Waking up in a daze, Kauana rubbed her eyes and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. "Theo?"

"Yeah?" He smiled at her.

"Oh..."

Looking around her, Kauana realized that she was in a different location and also noticed that Naiane was close to her and had also just woke up. With her emotions in a whirlwind, she cried when she saw that Naiane was fine and hugged her tightly. "Glad you are fine, *sob, sob*..."

Naiane did not know what was happening, but soon the memories of what had transpired came to mind, and she also started to cry, oozing snot and mucus.

Both looked pitiful. This went on for at least a few minutes until they started to sob trying to stop crying. And for a few moments, they completely forgot about Theo and started kissing in front of him.

"*Cough, cough*..." As interesting as it is to see two girls kissing, Theo pretended to cough, getting their attention.

Kauana parted Naiane's lips that hid her face in her chest, and she smiled awkwardly at Theo, "Sorry to show you something so unpleasant."

"It wasn't unpleasant, but I was worried that you two would get too excited~" Theo joked.

"..." Kauana's face turned into red pepper. Taking a deep breath, she said while still hugging Naiane, "You saved us, yes? Thanks!"

"Thank you, Theo." Despite being very shy, Naiane knew that he was their savior.

"Mm, don't worry about it." Theo smiled and then said, "We are now in my city. If you want to live here, you can be at ease. Being here, you will be under my protection."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Kauana was concerned about bringing him even more problems.

"No way," Theo said, "You can live here and settle down. When you decide what you two intend to do in the future, there are many new things here in the city that you can explore like being a teacher, or opening a store, even a sect."

"Sect... Mm, I don't think I want to get involved with sects again," Naiane said. She was kind of traumatized because of what had happened.

"I don't know for sure, but I think I would like to work in a weapons store since it's my forte," said Kauana.

"Well, you can take their time to think about it," Theo said, "Anyway, there is a hotel nearby. While you haven't settled yet, you can stay there. I am the owner, so for now, you can stay there, on the house." 

"Theo, thank you very much. I will endeavor to pay for what you have done for both of us," Kauana bowed towards him and said sincerely.

Naiane also bowed towards Theo. She was deeply grateful.

After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a 20-story hotel. When they passed through the luxury glass door, the receptionist was someone from the Orphanage and recognized Theo and said with a smile, "Theo, you're here. Welcome back!"

"Mm, I'm here to find a room for these two. They are my friends,); treat them well," Theo said with a smile.

"Oh, if so, they are most welcome." Smiling, the receptionist took the key to a suite and passed it to Kauana, who stepped forward: "It's on the 19th floor, and one of the best suites. You can feel free and take the elevator on the left. You just need to press the button there. If you don't know how to use an elevator, don't worry, Tamara will help you both to reach the nineteenth floor."

"Thanks." Naiane and Kauana bowed towards her.

"I'm leaving now. If you need anything, you can call my number..." Theo seemed to remember something and took out a cell phone from his storage ring. "I assume you have no cell phone so you can use these."

Seeing that Kauana and Naiane did not pick it up, he added, "Don't worry, this is not expensive. If you want, you can pay me for these cell phones later."

"Mm, thank you. I will pay you as soon as I can make money," Said Kauana. She lost everything she had before, as her and Naiane's storage rings had been stolen.
