Chapter 979 Blessed
After that fight, the situation became extremely chaotic. They had so many things about Theo to report.
His rise was too quick, and his power remained unknown despite being recorded. After all, no one could figure out his abilities.
"We have witnessed an exciting fight today. With such power, the list is going to be changed soon. Joker will, without a doubt, replace Winston as the number one expert. Myan-Myan needs to find him to interview him." Myra An said in front of her camera, preparing to chase after Theo.
Unfortunately for her and all the people that wanted to meet Theo, the latter had disappeared without a trace.
Despite knowing Theo was hiding in his room, no one dared to open his door forcefully as it could be considered an act of aggression.
However, the great change didn't happen only to him and Winston. Like all the previous events, many people took someone's rank to prove they were worthy of that new rank.
And the second biggest leap was none other than Mark. After getting some clues about Paula's weaknesses, Mark managed to defeat her, resulting in him taking her position.
This way, the event ended with the Star Group and the Starry Group taking the 1st, 4th, and 5th spots simultaneously.
Seeing this rank alone already showed the pride and power of the two companies. If they knew Mark's success came from Theo, the latter wouldn't have a peaceful time for the next few months.
So, Theo just let Mark get all the credits for this.
For the first time in his life, he was grateful for challenging Theo and falling to his billion Zils scams. He finally got something to be proud of. Now that he also didn't have the annoying woman that would constantly bother him anymore, it was the time for him to practice even harder.
After the fighting event, they held another banquet that night for the celebration of their new ranks. However, some people were missing.
Theo, Winston, Lexie, and Paula didn't attend the banquet for their own purposes. As for Maya, she was in the limelight because many people wanted to know about Theo.
While they were having their fun, Theo got a call from Agata.
Since the line was secured, he accepted the call as Agata soon appeared on his screen.
Agata waved her hands with a smile on her face. "Congratulations."
"You know about it?" Theo widened his eyes in surprise.
"No. You never pick a fight you can't win, so I know that you'll win even before the battle." Agata made a cheeky grin, showing her confidence in Theo.
"Really?" Theo shook his head helplessly.
"Yep." Agata nodded with a smug smile. "Anyway, how's the event? I don't think it's going to be that boring."
"Well, it's not like I'm going to talk with them…" Theo sighed.
"Fair enough. Though, I'm sure you're going to be famous soon. I have checked the video, and it's going to be popular as soon as the local news features it."
"Whatever. My intention remains the same."
"I know. But making an influence is harder than you think, especially since I know you only want a small number of elites. If it's just like a company, I can help you with that…"
"Don't worry. I already have my first target."
"Really? Who is he?"
"Isaac Walton."
"I see." Agata thought for a moment and asked, "Can he actually follow you easily? I mean your strength improves so quickly that if you take on someone weaker, they won't be able to work for you in the future. You know what I mean?"
Agata reminded him about his progress. After all, she was one of the people that couldn't catch up to him.
"Isaac's abilities are unique, so he belongs to another case. But, yeah. I'm going to find some Mythical Rank Experts, but most of them have joined an organization."
"How about searching for one overseas?"
"That's what I'm planning to do in my upcoming International Mission." Theo nodded. He felt like Agata managed to come up with solutions even quicker than when she was with him.
"By the way, I heard the Starry Group has gotten new deals with a company in Australia. What is their name again…" She tried to recall the name but to no avail. "Anyway, you might want to go to Australia."
"Hoh?" Theo was amused. He hadn't even planned for his next trip, but Agata seemed to have chosen something interesting. "Australia. It's a great country with a vast amount of uncharted areas."
"Yeah. There are many hidden experts there. From what I know, that company planned to develop the area around their gate and some other deals…" Agata opened her Skylink and searched for the map. "Aulara Gate, in the northern territory. There's someone living in a place not far away from that teleportation gate… I will send the information later, but he's known as an eccentric assassin.
"According to my information, his only daughter is inflicted by a curse, and he can't move from that town to take care of her. If you can help his daughter, maybe you can get him. I can assure you that this man is a special assassin."
"For real? Where do you even get this kind of information?" Theo facepalmed, feeling defeated. He never thought Agata would be able to gain all this information.
"Hehe. Now that I've been managing the company, I understand how to gather information and connections. In your case, I simply search for either the Star Group or the Starry Group. Everything is then connected." Agata smirked. "I already told you that I'll be able to help you even if I'm weaker than you. How's that? You must fall head over heels for me again."
"Yeah, yeah. You're great."
"Hehe. I'll send you the rest of the information. I believe your Death Avatar can dispel the curse, so I'll be waiting for your success."
"Yep. I'll do my best." Theo nodded. "Thank you."
"You're very welcome. Anyway, I think it's time for me to hang up. I need to handle some stuff right now."
"Okay. Love you, take care of yourself, will you?" Theo smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry. Bye. Love you." Agata waved her hands before hanging up.
Theo could only sit down while shaking his head helplessly, feeling blessed.
