Chapter 965 Arrival
A few days later.
*Huft!* Theo let out a deep breath after meditating for two hours. He had refreshed his mind and understood a bit about his Order. "I guess it's usable in a fight. After learning more about it inside Niflheim, I have thought about using it this way. Although my control over my Order is pretty weak right now, I should be able to influence a part of Magic Power."
The power in Theo's mouth was the stage after his realization. Now that he had officially walked on the path of a King, he wanted to use his Order on every occasion to help him improve it. Of course, he would need to be aware of his surroundings, lest people found out about his Order.
"Anyway, I will just make sure there's no Order holder in the event. According to the Lightning Authority, humans don't have anyone to teach them Orders, so their knowledge is kinda limited. In that case, I should be able to see through them pretty easily.
"Either way, the level limit is 800. There shouldn't be any top 100 experts among them, so this one should be pretty safe." Theo muttered, confirming his decision again.
Now that he had settled his heart, Theo took a shower before going to the Star Group, where he would meet Mark and the others.
Emily was a female Assassin. She had a sharp gaze and collected expression as if she was always aware of her surroundings. She carried two daggers in a bag and seemed to be able to take them out in an instant.
On the other hand, Tasha was an Enchanter. She had a nonchalant attitude to the point approaching Theo and Mark like nobody business. Still, the moment she received their reactions, Tasha changed her attitude fast, matching both of them and making her look good in their eyes.
After a simple introduction, they went to Idaho, where the event took place. And according to them, this place was similar to that of a giant hotel.
People thought getting invited to this event was an honor because there could only be a hundred people attending it every year. Though, Theo couldn't care less about it as his main priority was making money.
After reaching the airport, they immediately went to the event's place by car.
As one would expect from a huge establishment, the hotel was visible from far away. It had more than a hundred floors.
Still, Theo's attention focused on the massive dome standing tall on the side of the hotel.
Maya saw Theo staring into the distance and took this chance to explain the place for him. "The hotel is pretty good. They block all reservations other than from the top 100 during this period, so there won't be so many people here. Around three hundred people, I guess? Including the hotel staff.
"As for the dome next to it… It's a special arena that we use to fight against each other. The place is spacious, so we can go wild."
Theo nodded a few times while refusing to say anything. He didn't know why but Maya's mother, Stella, had been staring at him since they were at the airport.
When they arrived, Stella was the first to come out, meeting the staff that organized this event. She smiled and said, "3rd, 6th, 7th, 37th, and 75th."
"Certainly." The staff nodded and confirmed their number. After double-checking their faces, the staff member extended his hand. "Please."
"Thank you." Stella then led the group inside before saying, "Anyway, I'm going to get the keys first. You guys can look around."
"Understood." Tasha was the most energetic one among them, so she immediately took off somewhere as if she already had something in her mind.
On the other hand, Mark walked to Patrick since he didn't really have any friends.
Maya came to Theo and asked, "Now that I think about it, you haven't gone to this place, right? Do you want me to show you around?"
Theo hesitated for a moment, but he soon realized there were five pairs of eyes staring at him. They all came from different directions, so Theo confirmed them one by one, realizing all of them were just Supreme Rank Experts. In other words, they should be the people from the list.
"You should look around. I mean, you look so unfriendly… It's like you are isolating yourself. It's better to wear a smile and make some connections here and there." Maya persuaded Theo to take a look at the people on the Asda List.
However, before he could answer her, he heard someone's voice.
"Oh! Joker. I have been waiting for you!"
"…" Maya's eyebrows twitched as she recognized this voice. She turned around and looked at the man wearing glasses. "What are you doing, Isaac?"
That was right. He was Isaac Walton, Theo's business partner.
"He was the one telling me his ETA." Isaac shrugged and pointed at Theo. "So, how should we sell what we have?"
"Heh?" Maya chuckled, interested in this business.
"Got forty billion from the Star and Starry Groups," Theo replied with a proud tone. "Anyway, just bring the artifacts later."
"Okay. By the way, have you checked the pool on the rooftop? It uses warm water, you know. I was about to go there if not because of your message." Isaac made a cheeky smile and asked, "Do you want to go there?"
Theo thought for a moment and glanced at Maya. "She was about to show me around."
For unknown reasons, Maya had a smug smile as if she had won against Isaac.
"But you should be able to see the environment from the rooftop. You should check there first and find a place you want to go next."
"Pretty reasonable." Theo nodded in agreement and looked at Maya as if asking to accompany him to the rooftop.
Maya's expression looked so annoyed, but she ended up agreeing to the request. "Yeah, sure. Let's go to the rooftop. I can show you some spots you want to check later."
It was Isaac's turn to make a victory smile. However, his smile was suspicious as though there was a hidden intention of him going to the pool.
