Chapter 1259 Nella's Warning

"I am Lily from Harky Group."

"I am Agata from Pata Corporation."

Everyone was in disbelief when they saw these two women coming with a small bag for a gift. Still, the one that shocked them the most was Agata. She was the most beautiful woman in the world, so there was no way they could calm themselves when she was there.

Rea and Ergene narrowed their eyes as they didn't know whether these two people were a threat or not.

On the other hand, Theo shook his head helplessly. This was certainly something that he didn't expect. There was no way Theo would think these two would come here, considering the danger that might come.

Because they were their neighbors now, Rea rose from her seat to greet them.

However, to everyone's surprise, Theo was the first one to make his move. When everyone thought Theo was about to greet them, he placed his hand on Lily's head.

"What are you doing here?" Theo's eyebrows twitched.

"Do you know her?" Rea tilted her head in confusion.

"I'm honored to be recognized by Joker." Lily smiled before she felt him tightening the grip. "Wait, wait, wait. Let's talk about this."

"Do you know her?" The same question was uttered, but this time by Agata. She even narrowed her eyes, examining this girl.

"I am Joker's girlfriend." Lily playfully smiled.

"Eh, what?!" Rea and Ergene widened their eyes. They never expected Theo to have a girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Agata's smile remained on her face as if she could see through her. "Okay, that's a lie. I know it. So, who are you?"

"Eh? I'm Joker's girlfriend. I'm not lying! We've vowed to get mar—Aaaahhhh!" Lily felt Theo's grip start crushing her head. "I'm joking, I'm joking!"

"What are you doing here…" Theo glared at her while summoning the Death Avatar, surrounding this place with the Death Mist. The mist functioned as a barrier to prevent anyone from prying with their Awareness. After that, he revealed her identity. "…Nella?"

"!!!" This time, all the women in the tent widened their eyes.

"Nella? Which Nella? Nella Griffith?" Ergene and Rea had the same conclusion because Nella was a figure to remember if they were talking about Theo.

"Hehe, it seems that I've been caught." Lily smiled while scratching the back of her head. Although she didn't know why Theo used the Death Avatar, it was clear that she could reveal the truth inside this mist.

"So, you're still trying to marry him?" Agata pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Yes, we're already seven generations apart, so it's safe… is what I wanted to say, but It seems that I stand no chance." Nella smirked. "I'll settle with the younger sister status. Anyway, congratulations."

"You know about it?" Agata narrowed her eyes before glancing at Ergene and Rea.

"Just looking at their conversation, it's clear that these two have known him as well." Nella shrugged and took out her Skylink, showing the chat in Myan-Myan's stream. She pointed at one nickname and said, "To think that you didn't bother to hide it and even flaunted your status. Well, no one was gonna believe it, so it's fine, I guess."

"…" Agata let out a long sigh.

"Eh?" Rea and Ergene dropped their jaws to the ground. This was the first time they heard about it. When they saw the chat, it was clear that Agata was claiming that Joker was her.

And Agata should know about Joker's real identity. In other words, she was really Theo's girlfriend.

"This is…" Rea sucked a cold breath.

"Don't change the topic. What are you doing here?" Theo continued glaring at Nella as he hadn't received the answer to his question.

"Ah…" Nella scratched the back of her head and said, "Can't I just visit you because I want to?"

"I'm a bit tired of this bullshit."

"Tsk." Nella clicked her tongue and said, "Regarding the news a few months ago. You should know that your fath… I mean, Uncle Ray has defeated someone from the top 100 experts, right?

"I am here to tell you that his original target was actually the Mind Elder. However, the Griffith Family had closed their gates right now due to his rise. It's just… When that old man starts moving, I'm afraid that the situation will become a bit too much to handle.

"You might be able to hide your identity using the Death Reaper, but it's impossible for you to continue that way due to your rising strength. You're simply getting stronger too fast. It'll be easy to deduce that you have the talent for learning.

"When that happens, your identity will be blown away, and even more people will come after your life. So, I think it's better to hold your progress for a bit or just hide from the spotlight for a while. This way, the suspicion will disappear." Nella's face became solemn when she explained the current situation.

Even Agata lowered her head, understanding the impact it would bring. It was true that Theo had been working hard for the promise, but she now felt bad that Theo continued pushing himself just to fulfill this promise. She felt like she was a selfish woman.

However, Theo shook his head. "So, what?"

"Eh?" Agata and Nella were dumbfounded.

"Let them suspect me. I don't really care. By the time they confirm my identity, it'll be too late. Even if I can't defeat him, running away is possible. As for the Mind Elder, if he comes, I'm going to kill him personally." Theo's eyes were emanating killing intent.

"Well, I know that you have defeated the 3rd strongest person in the world, the Death Reaper, but I don't think you can do it again, right?"

"No."

"That's why…"

"But I have another plan." Theo snorted. "If you can't find a plan to solve a problem, then you haven't thought hard enough. I have all the cards to play, so I don't mind fighting against the Griffith Family."

"In that case, do you want to collab? With the help of the new faction, it'll be easier to deliver a huge blow from the inside."

"No." Theo rejected without hesitation.

"Well, I anticipated this. In that case, I want to give you a warning." She pointed her finger at Agata. "It seems that they have started getting some clues about your relationship with her. And that clue might go all the way to her fake identity as your assistant.

"When that happens, it'll be easy for them to realize you're still alive. Hence, they're going to make a move, not at you, but her. The Griffith Family had three vassals: the Orel Group, the Eilric Family, and the Skyward Mercenary.

"The Orel Group has separated themselves from the Griffith Family, and the Eilric Family remains neutral. So, the Skyward Mercenary is going to make their move. I just want to warn you that the Skyward Mercenary has a man called Airvans Lockens, the 88th strongest man in the world."
