Chapter 1542 Something Bad

Chapter 1542 Something Bad

Two months later.

Theo came outside again like he always did every month. As usual, Rea had been waiting for him right at the bottom, so he leaped down and landed next to her with his Telekinesis.

"Rea. Sorry for making you wait again."

"Haha, it's fine. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. I believe I can finish everything faster than I first calculated. Just wait another two months and I should finish my matter."

"Really? That's good news." Rea's face brightened, filled with hope. It had been too long for them to wait.

"Anyway, is there any movement around us?"

"Nothing. They're fighting as usual and we're lucky to have this place since we aren't disturbed this whole time. I'm just worried about what's happening in those giant bases."

Theo nodded. "Yeah. It's been nine months, so I'm sure that they're progressing rapidly."

"For now, this is the report." Rea handed him a document before telling him a few things. "First of all, we won't have any problems with food. It's been three months since we started the cooperation with the monsters and crossing the knowledge between humans and monsters. It seems that Jeff, Coline, Aisha, and Isaac were planning something big."

"Hoh?" Theo was amused by this combination. "I can understand if it's Isaac and Aisha, but Jeff and Coline?"

"It seems that they are planning to make food that can strengthen our bodies. I mean, monsters can get stronger by eating plants or other monsters, right? After learning a few tricks from the monsters, they want to see whether they can do the same for humans."

"That's interesting. Just do whatever you want, and it seems that you've gotten used to leading the group." Theo smiled.

Rea scratched the back of her head, feeling embarrassed. "Is that so? It's rare to receive a compliment from you, so I can't help but smile…"

"I have always wanted to give this opportunity to you. I have passed on all kinds of knowledge I have to you as my assistant, but you never have the opportunity to lead the group, so you lack experience. At first, you can't make a big decision without me, but look at you now, you're completely comfortable making a decision without me."

"Is that so? Maybe I should ask you again since it's your group, not mine."

Theo waved his hand. "Trust yourself a bit more. You're the person I choose."

"Thank you."

Theo nodded before glancing to the side, finding a girl with a ponytail. She wore a hat, a thin shirt and shorts as if making comfortable for herself. The energetic gaze from her eyes was completely different from the one from two months ago.

But that energy suddenly disappeared when she came to Theo. She politely bowed her head and said, "Sir."

"Eleanor, huh. It seems that you have changed after two months."

"I can't thank Sir enough for giving me the opportunity. I will do everything for everyone's sake, including me."

"Is that so?" Theo smiled. "It seems that we've finally got a new member, who is Akbar's disciple."

"Ah!" Eleanor's body trembled for a moment. She was startled and excited at the same time.

"Congratulations, Ele. You got it." Rea cheered for her because she had worked together with Eleanor for a while.

"It's thanks to Sir."

"Sir, huh. There's no need to be that polite. Just call me Theo."

"No can do. Even if you're going to kill me, I'm not going to disrespect Sir!"

"Well, whatever." Theo didn't bother with it anymore since she would soon change sooner or later like Walker, who once called him Master and now called him Theo. "Anyway, ask Coline to prepare a feast to celebrate our new member."

"Understood." Rea nodded while Eleanor was overwhelmed by Theo's favor.

"How are you doing? Do you like your job or do you want me to assign you another job?"

"No, I believe that I have gotten the perfect job that matches me perfectly. This is what I should be doing." Eleanor shook her head.

"Is that so? That's good then." Theo nodded. "Then, I'm going to tell you two things. First, respect is earned. If you hate me, then hate me."

"There's no way I can hate you, Sir. You have brought me back from that emptiness."

"Then, the second thing is… I'll be responsible for your life as well. Your enemy is the group's enemy as well as my nemesis. Understood?"

Eleanor was shocked by the second statement. It meant that if she declared war with the world, Theo would be fighting against the whole world. She had heard it many times from her teacher, but Theo was truly one of a kind leader. He truly made one want to follow him.

"My life is for this group's glory. As long as the group is fine, I'll still be able to smile." Eleanor made the brightest smile she could, showing that her words weren't a lie.

Theo was satisfied with Eleanor. But when he was about to return to the matter at hand, he felt a presence coming. When he glanced to the side, he found Hel, who rarely showed herself.

"Mhm? What's wrong? Do you have something you need from me?"

"Well, I have been focusing on my recovery this whole time, but as expected, it's not enough. Also, I'm not planning to show myself to the world for the time being since it'll cause a bit of a problem. I simply want to wait for that father of mine."

"Yes, I can understand that. But it's not like you to talk about this. Do you see something?"

Hel nodded with a grim expression. "This one is kinda bad."

Theo's face became serious as he asked, "What's wrong? Do you mind telling me?"

Hel hesitated for a moment before saying, "I sensed death… Numerous deaths. At least a few hundred million. It's different from the deaths that constantly happen all around the world… it's that one influx…"

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in shock, couldn't believe this information. "You mean…"

"Yeah." Hel nodded, confirming it. "I'm afraid that you have to go now, Theo."
