Chapter 1663 Message
"Aaaaahhh!" The starfish was hurt for the first time. He realized that Rea was able to twist the Magic Power like water, causing this pain.
He wanted to stand up to handle her, but Theo landed right on his face, stomping him down while using his Order to cut his limbs and make it a reality. The starfish might be able to resist him, but his condition had deteriorated significantly and his energy was low, so Theo overwhelmed him with his extraordinary strength and killed him.
"Good job." Theo nodded and gave a thumbs up.
"Teacher!" Rea hurriedly sheathed her sword to greet him. "Congratulations for killing your first World Class Monster!"
"That's not the first. That's the second." Theo shrugged.
"Second… what?" Rea was confused, but he remembered the power that strengthened them earlier. "Wait, that power…"
"The power of the number one Enchanter in the world."
"The Mafia Queen!" Rea gasped, realizing the World Class Monster in Mexico was probably the first kill.
"Well, I'll tell you what happened after we clear up the battlefield." Theo waved his hand and said, "What's your condition?"
"I'm pretty exhausted, but I should be fine handling some monsters."
Theo glanced at Ruth and Felix.
"My injuries are shallow and I still have some energy left." Felix nodded. He almost forgot Theo didn't have the communication Skylink that connected them, so he added, "Ruth is in the same condition."
"Got it. You and Ruth are to follow me and eliminate as many monsters as possible. Rea will stay here to handle the aftermath and also give the message to Agata to handle the rest."
"Understood."
They agreed without hesitation.
Before leaving, Theo glanced to the side, looking at his father and mother standing in the distance, afraid to approach him.
Theo didn't go to them, but he still used his illusion to tell them something.
"You are not expecting me to forgive you after making me experience that dark decade, right?"
Their bodies shook, understanding perfectly what he meant. They didn't say anything since it would simply make it worse.
Theo continued, "I'm not against you two trying to live near me. I can check your condition and vice versa. However, I do hope that we aren't related anymore."
Theo still couldn't bring himself to forgive them. With his current strength, he knew precisely why they were so hopeless in the past. At the same time, they shouldn't have another son if they couldn't even protect him. He couldn't choose who his parents were, but they could decide whether to have a son or not.
That was why the most he could give them was a space near him. It wouldn't be in his group, but with their strength, it wouldn't be that hard for them to check on him without meeting him directly. As long as they didn't enter his life, he wouldn't bother to push them away.
He added, "Instead of focusing on me, I think you've hurt one more person… Even now, I don't know if he's alive or not. Instead of mending our relationship, you two should focus on making it up to him. After all, everything he had done in the past was caused by your decision."
There was no need for Theo to specify that person. There was only one person they would still consider a family. He was Theo's adopted brother.
They knew Edward had suffered as well after doing all their dirty work. That was why Ray said, "You don't have to worry about him. We've located him and there doesn't seem to be any problem in the place he lives. He's also far away from the sea.
"As soon as we can go to another continent, we'll go straight to his place and bring him back."
Theo closed his eyes for a moment and said, "You should be able to do that in a year. Though, you still have to pay. That's all I can say."
Ray nodded with a calm expression.
"Also, you don't have to care about Nella anymore. She is probably the only person I can consider a family from the Griffith Family."
"Yes, we understand." Ray paused for a moment before saying, "I know that you won't accept this, but I still have to say this to you. I'm sorry for everything. My words won't be able to change the past, so I'll be using the rest of my life to bear this sin.
"That's why you don't have to think about us anymore. As long as you're alright, we'll be watching after you. If you need our help, just contact us through Nella and we'll go straight to you.
"I regret my actions in the past. We were drunk in happiness when we had you. We should have gone to prepare everything before getting another child. That's probably the greatest regret in my life.
"Even so, you still grow up into a fine person. There is no word to describe how happy and proud I am.
"From now on, I promise you that we won't enter your life anymore. I hope that you can lead a happy life with Agata and never do something like what we've done before.
"We'll keep watching over you from the sideline, hoping for the best for you." Ray closed his eyes.
Theo remained silent for a while, listening to those words seriously. After contemplating for a while, Theo gave his last message before leaving to chase the monsters.
"I met Owen in hell. He had the Time Element and showed me everything that had happened in the past. Even with that, I still can't bring myself to forgive you. However, I can tell you this one thing.
"Owen was supporting both of you to the point he endured the gruesome freezing temperature for 31 years just to share his memory about what happened that night.
"It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not."
After saying everything he wanted to say, Theo disappeared, leading his people to chase after monsters.
Meanwhile, Ray and Valerie were frozen in disbelief.
