1187 Getting Help

While Maya faced her problem, Theo continued his training, focusing on his Technique.

"I feel like you're still lacking when summoning it. The time to change the form is a tad too slow. If my brother was a bit faster, he would have got you." Rea assessed Theo's performance when he was showing this newfound technique.

Despite her assessment, Theo didn't utter a single word as he became completely entranced in manipulating his Original Technique.

"So, the name is Irregular Guardian. Simply because this Original Technique can change its form according to their own purpose, from a shield to a sword. I see." Isaac nodded in understanding while noting it down. He was simply doing his job.

Theo kept practicing for a few hours before Felix returned with a person.

It was none other than Ergene.

Theo immediately stopped his training and saw Ergene in amusement. "So fast? I thought you needed a few weeks to finish all the paperwork."

"Sir Okho helped me with the process to thank us for solving the problem," Ergene explained.

"I see. That's good then." Theo nodded and pointed at the mansion. "Welcome then. You can take any room there. Felix will guide you to your room."

"I understand." Before she left, she glanced at Theo's spear and asked, "It appears you're training…"

"Yeah. The mansion is crowded now, so it's hard to find a place to train alone." Theo shrugged before glancing at Isaac. "Well, I guess it's fine to have a punching bag."

"Oi. Did he glance at me when saying those words?" Isaac's eyebrows twitched.

Rea chuckled because she realized Theo had some sense of humor instead of that serious and scheming guy.

"I see." Ergene nodded and turned around. "In that case, I shall go to my room first."

"Yep."

"Wait. What did you understand earlier?" Isaac tried to stop her, but Ergene ignored him.

On the other hand, Felix stopped and asked, "By the way, we have several months to prepare. When are you planning to go to the other side?"

"Hmm?" Ergene stopped and looked at Theo. "You're planning to go to the other side?"

"Isn't it a bit too dangerous in the current situation? One Mythical Rank Expert and ten Supreme Rank Experts died not long ago, you know." Isaac frowned.

Ignoring their reactions, Theo answered Felix's question. "After our last member arrives."

"Him? But the problem is the fact that they're monitoring you." Felix became worried again.

"Don't worry. I have a plan to hide my presence. Though, I'll need the cooperation of all of you." Theo shrugged.

"We understand. Please leave it to us." Both Felix and Ergene answered at the same time.

"Felix. Do you remember what I told you about formation?"

"Formation!!!" Felix gasped and finally understood who Theo planned to blackmail to help him.

"I see. I shall prepare."

"Huh? What's about this formation?" As someone who was blessed by Khutulun, Ergene became interested in this topic.

After getting a nod from Theo, Felix said, "He's planning to blackm… I mean, cooperate with an organization to hide his information."

"With an organization? Which organization?" Ergene asked.

"Did you just want to say blackmail?" Isaac's eyebrows twitched. It seemed that Felix had been influenced by Theo.

"The organization that had the biggest control over the local information network," Felix answered with a cold tone. "The beggars."

"The beggars? Is there an organization like that?" Ergene furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yeah. I have heard it from rumors, though. According to them, there are two types of beggars. Those who are in the association and those who aren't. The latter is for those who really beg for money, while the former works for the association, controlling the underworld. It's said that if the beggars want to find you, you can't escape. And the one who controls the association is the Beggar Master…" Isaac explained and made it mysterious, only to end it with, "I don't know his name though."

*Cough!* Rea coughed a few times as she almost choked herself. Isaac had been building up tension with his explanation, but he ended it with disappointment. She didn't know why she wanted to hit him so much.

"I see. So, the beggars… Well, I don't know what you're planning, but I'm going to learn from it." Ergene nodded to Theo as she finally went to the mansion to settle down her luggage.

Felix led her to an empty room while Theo continued with his training.

Time flew by in a blink of an eye.

Two weeks had passed.

Maya somehow stabilized the situation like Theo expected. Felix was dumbfounded to find this talent from Maya. Even her father ended up being the assistant instead of the head this time, allowing Maya to do everything.

It turned out this hurdle made Maya's talent completely bloom as she gradually controlled both the Star Group and the Starry Group.

Maya's talent in business completely kept her enemies in the business world in check. Hence, she had some spare attention to deal with the reputation attack from the Death reaper and Fist Saint.

At the same time, the president also stepped in, giving them another boost in strength. After two long weeks, they were finally ahead for the first time.

There were only three months and two weeks before Theo's plan came to a completion.

Finally, in the third week, the man he had been waiting for had arrived.

Ryoichi came to Theo's mansion to greet him.

"I have come to work for you, Joker." Ryoichi smiled.

"Yes. Although I want to let you rest for a bit, I need you to follow me to do some small tasks. Mr. Uozomi" Theo nodded.

"Sure. A Mythical Rank Expert won't get tired easily. Also, you just need to call me Ryo to simplify my name."

"Okay. Thanks, Ryo." Theo nodded and glanced at Felix. "Call Chris and Jeff here. We're going to do a small exercise. Let's mess around with the beggars a bit, shall we?"
