Chapter 1982 Heroes Gather (1)

A few minutes ago.

After hearing the report, the people immediately assembled in the office building.

The first one to arrive was none other than the grandfather, who was overly proud of his grandson's achievement.

"Hmm?" The War Saint, Leonardo, took a peek inside, finding no one. "It seems that we're the first one."

Yes, the War Saint didn't come alone.

"That's because you urged me to use my teleportation to reach this place." The young man shook his head helplessly.

There was only one young man who had a Space Element that would accompany Leonardo. He was none other than Theo's brother, Lorenzo.

"Hahahaha!" The War Saint laughed out loud. "It can't be helped. I just want to finish this matter as quickly as possible."

"You shouldn't lie, Leo. Don't add more sin to your life." Another voice echoed in the hall, heading directly to the entrance of the meeting room, which happened to be blocked by Leonardo.

As expected of one of the strongest Awareness users in the entire world, the pope, he managed to locate Leonardo easily. In fact, the reason why he could reach this place not long after Leonardo was because his Awareness picked up the teleportation that Lorenzo used earlier.

Without even getting the report from the Griffith Family, he already knew what was going to happen. So, he didn't hesitate to go to this building to wait.

"Hoho, this old friend of mine." Leonardo smirked, glancing back. "It seems that you are also eager to discuss this matter."

"This battle is about the human race's survival. Obviously, I should be at the very front, fighting for humanity." The pope smiled. "Though, I have never thought that we would be fighting together again."

"That's true. When was the last time we fought together?"

"If you're talking about cooperation, then it was when your grandson made some mess in Italy. But if you're talking about the battlefield, then it was one month before my coronation as the pope and you succeeded your household."

"I see. Sixty years ago, huh. It's been a long time, but I guess this is it." Leonardo smiled while extending his hand. "Let's end this with a blast, shall we? And we'll have the greatest retirement ever."

"I can't help but agree with that." The pope smiled, shaking Leonardo's hand.

After a simple exchange, the two ended up walking inside. Lorenzo was speechless while staring at the person who accompanied the pope. She was Erica, the pope's disciple.

"You are here too?" Lorenzo asked.

"Yes. This is the battle that I can't pass on." Erica nodded as these two walked next to each other, following the two old men. But before they were about to close the door, the pope said, "There is no need to close the door, since a little darling is about to enter."ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Hmm?" Lorenzo and Erica were confused, but they soon heard a feminine voice coming from the hallway.

"I guess I can't fool the pope."

A couple entered the room. The female had long brown hair tied neatly on her back, while the male had the same blue hair as Theo.

The moment they entered, the atmosphere inside the room changed. The female glanced at the pope first before nodding her head as a greeting before turning to Leonardo. The guy lowered his head and called him, "Father."

Leonardo looked at them for a while without letting out any sound. But after a while, Leonardo smiled gently at them, saying, "It seems that your complexion has gotten better. There are a lot of things that even time can't heal. But it seems that your problem isn't one of them."

The couple, who had just entered, was none other than Theo's parents, Valerie and Ray.

Ray looked at Leonardo with an awkward smile, saying, "I don't know how it turns this way, but I'm eternally grateful for whatever it is that changes things like this. And this time, I'm going to apologize to you, Father. It's due to my weakness that my family has become like this, and let my son… your grandson suffered."

"That apology shouldn't be directed at me. Someone deserves it more."

"I know. I won't stop apologizing for my weakness. Unlike me, who were powerless against the Griffith Family in the past, Theo has passed any obstacles in his way." Ray knew that if he was Theo, he wouldn't let his son suffer. That was why he only blamed himself for being weak, not the situation around him, not his wife, and not the Griffith Family.

"I guess I don't have to say anything more than this." Leonardo nodded before pointing at the seat next to him. "Come and sit down."

"Yes." Ray nodded.

It seemed that they were not the only ones that came from the union. There were two more Transcendent Level Experts.

The first one was an old woman who Theo helped after the apocalypse. She was the Empress. She wanted to repay Theo back for everything he had done for her people. She was accompanied by two people, her disciple, Alea, and her daughter, Ana.

Alea caught the eye of Leonardo and Theo's parents since she was close to Theo in the past. People even thought they would be together if Agata wasn't there.

But everything had stopped. Alea might look awkward, but there was a warrior aura emitting from her eyes as if she had cut down her emotion in order to gain strength. It seemed she had decided to pursue strength instead of love after the heartbreak.

The other Transcendent Level Expert that came with her was the Guardian. After considering the lineup they had, it would be better to have someone that could act as a wall to protect the people. So, the Guardian was asked to come with them.

All these people had disguised themselves and sneaked into the country with the help of the airplane that Maya had given to the bank previously.

Although they couldn't bring a lot of people, the people that managed to sneak into this base were elites among elites. And they finally gathered in one room.
