Chapter 1107 Jeffrey

After getting their information, Theo finally came out of his bedroom, finding Isaac and Felix waiting for him in the garden.

Agata didn't know that there were other criteria that helped Theo choose his candidate. That was the clue that the Queen of Destiny told him.

According to her, Isaac would play a huge role in this recruitment. So, Theo would wait for Isaac's reaction and role before recruiting them.

"So, have you found our target?" Isaac asked with an excited smile, wondering who would be the next person.

"Yeah. We've two targets. They're in two different states, so I think we should rely on our feet to reach them to get there faster and safer."

"Who are they?"

"Christopher Grant, a Pianist, and Jeffrey Watkins, a Painter. Jeffrey is in Arkansas, so we will go there first."

"Okay." Felix was the one who answered him since he had finally known their targets.

"A painter and a pianist… The choices are so unique." Isaac was puzzled before realizing Theo's intention. "Wait a minute. Sir Felix is an assassin that usually takes his target in broad daylight because of his ability. Millie is a hacker. I am a scientist… Are you going to get all the unique people to our team?"

"That's my plan," Theo admitted without hesitation. "There is a reason for that… With people this unique, you all will have different tempers, abilities, and skills. It allows me to learn from all of you. Of course, you need to be strong."

"I see. Interesting." Isaac nodded in understanding.

"Okay. Let's go, shall we?"

"Wait a minute." Felix raised his hand, stopping Theo before pointing his finger at his back.

"What's wrong? Oh, Millie." Theo found Millie coming out with a small bag.

"It's not much, but I've prepared your lunch and dinner since you're going to get back late today. The lunch jar has good insulation, so the food should still be warm when you eat it. Not sure about the dinner though. At least, it's better than searching for something to eat since Brother told me that the situation is not that peaceful right now." Millie smiled while glancing at Theo.

Felix grabbed the bag and patted Millie's head. "We're going."

"Yes. Please be careful." Millie politely bowed, seeing them off.

After that, all of them disappeared from the mansion as they used their fastest speed to Arkansas. Of course, this kind of speed wasn't allowed in the city, so Theo immediately led them to a road where it wasn't crowded with people because it wouldn't bother them.

The first target was the painter. Theo personally didn't know what to think about this painter. Unlike the pianist, Theo knew what he should do when trying to recruit him. But this painter was an enigma.

He accepted the meeting with the recruiter, but he never accepted their offer. That was why he didn't have high hopes for him.

On the way, he called the number that people usually used to recruit him, of course, provided by Agata.

If they drove with the current technology, it would only take around three hours to reach the painter. However, the car was a bit inflexible and could be tracked, considering it would be the Star Group's property, whose current standing was shaken.

That was why he chose a safer option even though the time would be longer.

In the end, they ate their lunch first before arriving in front of the painter's house.

Even though it was considered the painter's house, it was more like his gallery. The house wasn't a mansion or a normal house, but a giant hall that contained all his artworks.

When they arrived, Isaac widened his eyes and said, "Joker. Can you see it? The building is…"

"I can't see it, but I can feel it." Theo narrowed his eyes. "The building is enveloped by Magic Power. Has he painted the entire building?"

"Most likely. Or covering the building with his artworks instead of an art gallery…" Isaac nodded.

Felix was holding his sword because he felt a threat from the building. Although his senses weren't as good as Isaac or Theo's, his instinct told him that this building was strange.

As if knowing their arrival, a woman, who looked like she was in her thirties, came out to the gate and politely greeted them.

"Welcome to Jeff's Galery. Are you going to visit the gallery or Mr. Jeff?"

"I have made an appointment earlier," Theo stated.

"May I know your name?"

"The appointment is under Joker's name."

The woman checked her Skylink and nodded her head. "Certainly. I've confirmed your identity. Three people under Joker's name. Please follow me."

She politely pointed her hand at the building, guiding them inside.

As soon as they entered the building, Isaac was stunned by the sight of a painting that covered the entire building.

"This is… How can someone paint something this big?" Isaac was shivering because he could feel the Magic Power contained in the paint. There were several drawings on the wall, from plants to landscapes. If it was used properly, this drawing could trap them inside an illusion.

Even Felix became more careful, protecting Theo and Isaac.

The woman noticed Felix's hand grabbing the sword but ignored it, considering those who met Jeff always did the same thing. In fact, those who could sense the painting were extraordinary people that Jeff personally wanted to meet.

However, Jeff himself was a powerful painter. Unless they brought multiple Mythical Rank Experts, no one should be able to kill Jeff. That was why the woman didn't bother to confiscate their weapons.

The woman brought them to a room on the second floor. According to her, this room was Jeff's personal workshop.

"Mr. Jeff. I've brought your guests."

"The door is open." A man's voice echoed from the inside, allowing them to enter.

When the woman opened the door, there was a man whose eyes were glued to a canvas. His hand was skillfully giving every stroke to the art.

On the other side of the room was a huge glass used to brighten the room as the primary light source, making the scene even more majestic.

The man's voice broke this tranquil atmosphere as he took a peek at his guests.

"Oh, my. Ain'tcha Joker?"

Theo could see the man's appearance clearly. He looked like a different person from the photo he had.

The man had brown skin, but the light blue shirt and white paint gave a different charm to his appearance. He looked neat and respectful, but his casual tone made him look easy to talk to.

"Come in, come in! It's truly a surprise to see the strongest man in the Asda List, you know."

'Ehm. Cold and aloof?' Theo thought with a wry smile.
