Chapter 1116 Threat

Chapter 1116 Threat

*Fwoosh!*

The energy rushed out of the door and struck them.

Felix immediately stepped forward, trying to protect Theo.

"I'm tired and don't want to deal with this. Since the owner doesn't welcome us, let's go back." Theo narrowed his eyes and turned around as if he didn't care about it anymore.

"Huh?" Isaac widened his eyes, not understanding why Theo actually wanted to return now. Theo had gone all the way here, so it would be a waste not to talk with this person. "Joker…"

Theo, of course, had no intention to leave empty-handed. After turning around, he took out the brown envelope from Jeff and opened it himself instead of showing this to Christopher.

"Jeff told me to give this to you, but since the negotiation has failed before it even starts… It means I don't need Jeff's permission to open it. You two are the witness that I have tried my best to deliver the message." Theo didn't hesitate to rip apart the envelope, taking out the paper that could smoothen their talks.

Curious, Isaac also took a peek at the content before rubbing his eyes many times and falling to the ground. "Nooo!! My eyes need bleach!"

The content was obvious. It was a naked middle-aged man in the middle of changing. No wonder Jeff could collaborate with this guy; he basically threatened him.

Suddenly, a blond man came out of the house. It was clear that he was shaken from the picture as if he could hear Theo's words this whole time.

"Y-young man. How about staying for a while? If I somehow offended you, I'd like to apologize." The middle-aged man stuttered, trying to bring Theo back.

He didn't know how Theo could get that since Jeff was the only person who had it due to him accidentally finding his past. Jeff had promised not to give this to anyone after their collaboration, and he did fulfill the promise for more than ten years.

Yet, Jeff actually handed this picture to this young man. It was clear that their relationship was unusual.

"There is nothing to talk about. You used all that energy to push us away, and now you want us to come in? Don't be ridiculous. Since you've turned us away, there's no need to talk anymore." Theo clicked his tongue and said, "Felix. Grab my bracelet and your weapon. We'll go back."

"W-wait! Let's talk about this. There is a misunderstanding. I was practicing earlier. As you can see, I'm an Enchanter. My main ability is support, so I lack attacking ability. I'm just practicing so that no one can harm me even if I have no protector." The middle-aged man scratched the back of his head, trying hard to persuade Theo to stay.

'Jeff… No, Jerk! You bastard. Why are you screwing me over? You've promised me to keep it a secret after you extorted me in the past with it… I know that you're not going to erase it, but to think you would go all the way to hand it to someone else.'

While he was cursing Jeff, the middle-aged man also realized that Jeff was trying to fulfill his part of the agreement.

Jeff didn't show it to anyone. He told Theo to show this to Jeff so that the talk could proceed easily. If he didn't use that technique earlier, Theo wouldn't be pissed and have seen this.

As long as Christopher received and saw this threat from Jeff alone, no one would know the content of the envelope. Everyone could simply think it was a letter of introduction.

'Fuck. I'm screwed.' It was at this moment that he knew he fucked up, and what made it worse was the fact that everything was his fault.

If this picture reached the Skynet, he would lose his job as a pianist because no one would bother to watch him anymore. The most he could do was to find some money by killing the monsters. And only desperate parties would want him.

Due to the number of Mythical Rank Experts, it was rare to find a group consisting of Mythical Rank Experts. That was why his career would be over if this photo spread.

And Jeff might even take advantage of this situation to make it worse.

While Christopher lamented his fate, Theo noticed Loki's power. It seemed Loki indeed manipulated the possibilities she saw.

'Illusion, huh… It seems that Loki can affect not only one's mind but one's power. Even the future possibilities can be faked by his Illusion Authority. This is his way of fighting against someone who sees the future… He's faking the future itself. I see…

'What if he fights against the Time God? Will he fake the time? Or will he fake himself being affected by time? There is so much more to learn from illusion alone. I'm still at the start of this path, and this time, I'm going to learn it by myself.'

Theo could finally see that Order was more omnipotent than he thought. Just like the Frost Saint using his Frost Authority to freeze basically everything. He's planning to learn more about his Reality Order.

After finishing his thought, Theo continued to walk to the gate as if rejecting Christopher's offer.

"W-wait! Let's talk about this." Christopher gritted his teeth while glaring at Felix. If not for Felix, he would have strangled Theo to death since he was only a Supreme Rank Expert.

However, Felix had stationed himself between them so that no one could harm Theo and Isaac.

Hence, the only way to solve this situation was to talk it out with Theo, albeit the latter didn't seem to have the intention to negotiate.

In the end, Christopher lowered his head and shouted. "I was wrong. How about we talk inside? I'll owe you a favor if you can forgive me and solve this situation together."

The favor from a Mythical Rank Expert was huge. Even if they couldn't recruit Christopher, having this favor alone was a good achievement.

Little did everyone know, this 'favor' was actually the same as Christopher signing his own death certificate.

The corner of Theo's lips curved as he turned around as if nothing had happened. He even had a cheerful tone when saying, "Let's talk then. I have thought about the favor."

'Ah…' Christopher dropped his jaw as his face became pale. 'Did I just fuck myself up even more?'
