While many were talking about Theo’s next move to Russia, Agata finally had the courage to confront him about this international mission.
“Hmm?” Theo frowned and looked at her serious face. “Is there something wrong?”
“Actually, I have been thinking for a while about the next international mission.” Agata raised three fingers. “First of all, if I go with you, I will probably spend around two to three months outside.
“This means we have reached the time limit of Sir Leonardo’s teaching, which should end on 1st January.”
“So, you want to focus on training here?” Theo put on a gentle smile. After all, he didn’t blame her or force her to go with him on this international mission.
However, Agata shook her head and said, “On the contrary, I think this is the best opportunity I have.”
“Ho?” Theo paused for a moment. “Why do you think so?”
“First of all, Sir Leonardo can be called for consultation during this period. This will grant us a safe cushion to fall. Second, there are huge opportunities for me if I join this international mission. So, there’s no reason for me not to join.”
“Is that so?”
Agata nodded and continued, “And this is the second thing I would like to say. From the looks of it, you have two options in your choice right now. The first will be America. There, we will be granted a safe haven, and Maya will probably be the only one accompanying us.
“Well, that’s according to the contract you have given me, so yeah, America will be the stable option with great opportunity. But if we’re talking about reward, the Wind Emperor seems to be more attractive to you because of your Telekinesis.
“However, this is a risky move because many are targeting you there. Hence, the former will give you a safe passage with good opportunities, while the latter is a bumpy road with tremendous rewards.
“I am not aware of what you’re planning, but I have decided to follow you wherever you want to go.” Agata smiled.
“There must be a reason, right?” Theo asked with a calm voice.
“This is just my personal feeling. If you go to Russia, there’s an opportunity to meet Alea. Although, I don’t like to prevent you from meeting anyone you want. I still feel a bit jealous, so I just want to be there for you.
“On the contrary, I don’t really trust the Star Group. With how they’re forcing Maya to do all this, they might be plotting something. So, I will be there to make sure nothing happens.” She looked at Theo with a serious face, expressing her feelings.
She didn’t want to be left behind, but at the same time, she didn’t want to be too clingy, so she tried to consult him first.
Theo never forbade her from doing anything she wanted except for the rule they had agreed upon, so she also wanted to respect his choice.
Theo smiled and nodded. “I can understand that.”
“Then, my last point is…” Agata paused for a moment. “I actually think the US is a better option. For now, we don’t have much information regarding the information of your enemies.
“If they send Mythical Rank Experts to kill you, I am afraid it’s impossible to escape.” She was worried that the enemies came without caring about their plan. Dealing with this type of enemy was the hardest because they only thought about their objective, not their lives.
“Well, you could actually do something different like going to another country that they least expected or negotiate with the War God Family to cancel the international mission for you.
“But I don’t think this is what you will do, considering your past actions. So, yeah, you will still go to another country, but I don’t know if it’s the US or Russia.” Agata raised her doubt.
“I give you a B for this I guess.” Theo smiled. “Interesting point of view and analysis. What you said is correct and your concern should be addressed well. And you have taken my past actions into account before making your decision.
“Also, thank you for being honest with me. Unfortunately, I can’t reply to your feelings yet. Even so, if you wish for it, I will surely bring you anywhere with me… as my assistant.”
Agata smiled and remained silent, listening to what he wanted to say.
“Still, there is one thing you miss from here.” Theo raised his finger. “And that is… something you have seen.”
“Something I have seen?” Agata looked down and recalled what had happened in the past few months. However, the most noticeable thing involving the grand plan was none other than the words he whispered to the Wind Emperor.
However, no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn’t predict the content. She wondered what kind of words Theo said to completely turn the friction between them into a good bond.
“I still don’t know what kind of words you said to the Wind Emperor.” Agata shook her head. “This is the only missing piece I know.”
“Yep. That’s the thing.” Theo smiled. “That’s why I gave you a B for your analysis. I know that you already knew about the missing piece but couldn’t decipher it yet.”
“Yeah. I asked Sir Leonardo about it, but he told me he has no idea as well.” She let out a long sigh, disappointed by her inability to think about it.
“I will give you a clue. Since there is one more month before the scheduled international mission, I will give you time to think about my move.” Theo smirked.
“What’s the clue?” Agata furrowed her eyebrows, feeling curious.
“The clue is… What was the last thing the Wind Emperor said?” He smiled.
“The last thing he said?” She looked down and recalled her memory. “Something like he wishes you’re still alive for at least another decade because he doesn’t want you to break your promise?”
“Yep. That’s the clue.” Theo smiled. “You will need to understand those words.”
“I understand. I will try to think about this.”
