Chapter 1822 A Deal?

Theo and Lyrventh seemed to have reached an agreement.

Theo didn't want to waste too much time here, so he suggested they should leave as soon as possible.

The siblings seemed to be constantly on the run, so they didn't have a lot of items with them. This way, it didn't take too long for them to pack up.

Lyrventh aside, Lydia didn't seem to be afraid either. She had constantly been running into danger, so she managed to keep calm even in front of monsters.

"It seems both of you are ready." Theo looked at the two kids. Because he had taken them in, he'd got a pair of clothes that suited their stature.

Though, Lyrventh refused to use anything to cover his eyes as if he wanted everyone to see his weakness.

"Yes." Lydia nodded with a serious expression. She held Lyrventh's hand to guide him.

Right before they left, Lyrventh suddenly pointed at the street on their right. "Two blocks away. There is a monster roaming in the str—It's coming. We have to hide!"

Lyrventh tried to warn him, but he soon panicked and grabbed his sister to go back inside.

However, Theo used his Telekinesis to lift them up so that they didn't run away.

"What are you doing?!" Lyrventh knew they were floating, but because he couldn't see, he didn't know what was going on.

Theo glanced at him and Lydia with a smile. "There's no need to worry. A monster like this is not capable of hurting me."

Lydia didn't know what Theo was talking about. She was more worried about Lyrventh's warning instead of Theo's confidence, considering she had never seen Theo fight.

Soon, a roar echoed in the area. There was a monster that looked like a lion but three times in size. The tip of its tail was blazing.

'Since they're kids, it's better not to make it too brutal, I guess.' Theo thought while looking at the incoming lion.

The lion ran as quickly as possible, ready to pounce on its prey.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent was Theo.

With a single wave of his hand, the air suddenly cracked.

'Huh?' The air is cracked?' Lydia was stunned as she couldn't believe what she had witnessed. The crack actually hit the lion, causing the lion to follow the crack like that of a mirror.

Theo manipulated the illusion and caused the lion's head to crack in reality.

The result wasn't that visible. Other than a few lines on its head, the lion didn't seem to have any injuries. However, the lion soon stopped and started spitting blood before it fell down lifelessly.

"Huh?" Lyrventh widened his eyes in shock because he couldn't hear the lion's heart anymore. "It's dead?"

Lydia gasped because Theo could defeat a terrifying lion with just a single wave of his hand. He didn't even touch him or use any fancy ability. He just cracked the air.

"How did you do it?" Lydia's eyes flashed, looking at Theo with admiration. Theo was her idol in the past, but because he forcefully took them away, he lost some respect in her heart. But with that agreement and how Theo defeated the enemy effortlessly, the fire in her heart was ignited.

Theo chuckled and said playfully, "It's a secret."

"Uuh…" Lydia looked down, pouting.

"I hear the sound, but it's weird… It feels like it's not real!" Lyrventh, on the other hand, frowned.

Theo might have recreated the sound to human standards, but Lyrventh's enhanced hearing was on another level.

He had been listening to many things and grown accustomed to his enhanced hearing to the point he could separate a raindrop one hundred feet away.

"…" Theo looked at him with a serious expression. He might have underestimated Lyrventh this whole time. "Interesting."

Theo put them down gently and said, "Follow me. We're going around this place to find something."

"It sounds like you don't know where you have to go…" Lyrventh harrumphed.

"Lyrventh, you shouldn't say it like that. We're already a burden to him, so we shouldn't cause more trouble!" Lydia looked at Lyrventh, concerned. She wasn't angry because she knew Lyrventh just didn't like Theo for forcing them through this. At the same time, it was true that Theo was currently trying to save them.

Lyrventh looked a bit adamant, but after listening to her voice, he looked down, defeated. He ended up apologizing to Theo.

Theo only smiled. He couldn't help but admit he saw himself in Lyrventh. Unlike the past him, who couldn't say whatever he wanted, Lyrventh was bolder. Either way, they would end up dead sooner or later, so getting killed by Theo wasn't too much of a concern.

It could also test Theo's real character.

Unfortunately, Theo didn't give him what he wanted. He just chuckled and handed it calmly.

"Yeah. I still don't know the exact location, but something I'm searching for is in this city. I just have to roam around to find anything. Though, it might make the search faster if you help me." Theo smiled.

"We'll help!" Lydia hurriedly answered, so Lyrventh didn't make any more rude remarks.

However, Theo added, "Of course, I'm going to give you something if you help me."

"A gift?" Lyrventh was confused. He didn't know what kind of gift Theo thought would fit him.

"Yeah. I'm going to show you the little gift tonight. I'm sure you're going to love it."

"What if I don't like it?"

"I'll grant you a wish." Theo smiled.

"…" Lyrventh looked down and nodded. "Fine. I'll cooperate with you."

"Good." Theo chuckled.

Lydia was surprised. It seemed Theo knew how to handle Lyrventh. In the past, people would just get angry because of Lyrventh's behavior and rude remarks. But Theo didn't seem to think much about it.

But both Lyrventh and Theo knew that their words didn't contain a single shred of lies. That was why they both could understand each other. Even Lyrventh became less wary since Theo wouldn't take back his words later.

And thus, the start of their cooperation.
