Chapter 833 - Return
After Theo finished washing his body, the group finally returned to the mansion.
Theo spent the remaining 29 days focusing on his Smell and Touch with the help of the simulation room.
Still, the simulation training only lasted for five hours. Hence, Theo spent the remaining days training either his other senses or his Control.
He didn't even go out of the mansion other than to the training center.
Surprisingly, there were a bunch of visitors from other influences, but Theo chose to remain silent in the mansion because of what happened in Italy.
Although he wanted to trick the Griffith Family into thinking he brought reinforcement from the US, he would just threaten them too much. Seeing this kind of reinforcement would surely force them to retreat.
Theo believed this was the perfect time to eliminate the Mind Elder since he was extremely dangerous. At the same time, his power also influenced Nella's mind. He thought it was better to kill him by using this chance, so Nella didn't need to be tormented again.
She was the first person to show such a sincere feeling among the Griffith Family Members, so there was no reason for Theo not to help them. He also didn't like this Mind Elder since the elder might be the biggest reason why his parents abandoned him.
During his stay, he simply planned the situation carefully, making sure he didn't die due to the sneak attack.
Meanwhile, Agata also utilized the simulation room to increase her strength as much as possible. She was also seeking a way to become the number one that could allow her to stand next to Theo.
On the other hand, Maya spent most of her time dealing with her company. Due to the long absence, there were many things to be dealt with, including that one mess she created during the auction.
Hence, Theo and Agata didn't see Maya that much for the rest of their time in the country.
Unlike Maya, Stella had been the one accompanying them the entire time. She took care of them like they were her children.
At the same time, Stella also reported to Bernard about Theo, Ava, and Agata's progress every day.
They were shocked at how fast Theo improved during the past month. It was to the point they needed to keep his data a secret to only a few trusted subordinates.
Even Hel was impressed by Theo's progress, let alone them. And by using this data, they concluded that Theo had never touched anything other than a normal study before getting into the school a few years ago.
In other words, all his achievements came from the effort he started a few years ago.
Upon realizing this, Bernard and Stella couldn't contain their shock, realizing how strong Theo's talent was.
If he wasn't suppressed by his environment, he would have shone brightly. It might even be too bright and make other neutral parties involved in his assassination.
After learning this secret, they made sure no one knew about it, including Maya, unless she successfully roped Theo in.
One month had passed.
Bernard, Stella, and Maya were sending off Theo's group personally.
Theo shook Bernard's hand with a smile. "Thank you for your help in the past few months, Sir."
"No, no. I should be the one thanking you. Not only did you help my daughter, but you also provided such unique data. I won't hesitate in using it." Bernard nodded and smiled back.
"Let's meet again in the future." Maya waved her hand to Agata.
"Sure." Agata nodded with a serious expression. "I've learned a lot from you."
"Don't say that… Don't act like this guy." Maya pointed at Theo. "The moment he said that, I always saw him replicating what I did."
"Haha." Both Agata and Stella chuckled while Theo tilted his head in confusion.
"Anyway, you're free to visit us," Stella added.
"Yes, Ma'am."
"In that case, I shouldn't keep you any longer." Stella took a step back, letting them go.
"I only have one thing to add." Bernard stepped forward and looked at Theo, Ava, and Agata. "If you need anything, just call me. I'm sure you know how I play, right?"
Bernard was implying that if the situation in Italy couldn't be controlled anymore, Theo was free to call him for reinforcement. Of course, there was a price to pay for asking this type of reinforcement.
And calling him would lead to a negotiation. So, it was clear that Bernard was planning to get involved as long as Theo called him.
"Thank you, Sir." Theo smiled.
"What thank you? I was implying if you want to get another international mission from here, you only need to call me. There's nothing behind it." Bernard looked away, playing dumb.
"Ahaha." Theo chuckled and nodded. "Anyway, it's time for us to go. Once again, thank you and bye-bye."
"Bye." Maya and Stella waved their hands while Bernard crossed his arms and nodded with a gentle face.
Theo, Agata, and Ava finally went inside, preparing to board their plane.
Little did they know, there was a middle-aged man sitting on a bench not far away from them. He had short black hair and wore a plain white shirt and jeans. There was nothing wrong with his appearance, making him less suspicious.
He took out the Skylink and called Lorenzo's father, Marzio. "Sir. Theodore Griffith has returned."
"Okay. You are to return to Italy right now."
"Yes, Sir."
In Italy, Marzio was visiting Theo's mansion since Leonardo still lived there.
He looked at him with a severe expression. "Father. Theo has boarded the plane."
Sitting on the grass, Leonardo sipped his herbal tea before saying, "I guess it's time for me to make my move."
"Father. You haven't given me any instructions about your plan. What will happen if our strategies clash?"
"It won't." He shook his head. "Only I and Theo can know this plan. Besides, that lad should have made another plan too. So, I'm going to refine it a bit further."
"Understood. In that case, I shall excuse myself." Marzio nodded and turned around, planning to leave.
When he was about to take a step forward, Leonardo added one more thing he needed to remember. "Marzio… Make no mistake. I couldn't care less about the Barbe Group. I only want Eric Griffith to die."
Marzio's expression turned grim, and he replied… "Yes, Father."
