Chapter 331 - Home

The military decided to drop them off at the school since they didn't know whether they could disturb their family or not. It also came from the consensus of the entire group.

When they came out, Ellen quickly waved her hand and walked away. "Alright. Goodbye, everyone. I need to go home as soon as possible. Also, Theo, thank you for everything. See you later!"

She disappeared in an instant with a happy face, so there shouldn't be a need to worry about her.

Since her best friend had gone, she decided to return too. "Alright. It's time for me to go back."

After Alea, Sihan and Laust took off without saying anything, leaving only Theo and Phyrill again.

"This is like last time, eh? There are only you and me."

"How is your body condition?"

"It's surprisingly comfortable enough. Maybe my body has gotten accustomed to Lycanthrope Transformation? I am not sure. Though, I do still feel uncomfortable from time to time."

"Hmm?" Theo narrowed his eyes and nodded, "At least you are alright. You secretly snuck to the hospital a few times during the night after all…"

"Ahaha, you noticed it?" Phyrill chuckled. "I am embarrassed."

"It's nothing. Since you are fine, I'm going back first." Theo shrugged.

"Yeah. Goodbye Theo. Thank you for this opportunity. I'm glad that I met you… Joker. I'm afraid Alea has suspected your identity too, considering she hasn't met the real joker, only you."

"Who knows? And it's not like I am afraid if my identity is discovered." Theo started walking away.

Phyrill smiled and saw him off until he couldn't see his back anymore. After Theo disappeared, he walked to the bench on the side of the road and sat on it with a tired face. Sweats covered his forehead as his face turned pale.

"Well, how long will I be hospitalized after this?"

…

Meanwhile, when Alea reached her home, her father and grandfather quickly leaped to her. "Uoh! My (grand)daughter!"

However, a woman in her late thirties appeared behind them and smacked their heads, knocking them to the ground. "Don't bother her. She is tired, so let her rest first. Also, I have prepared your favorite food, dear…"

"Mom." Alea smiled and hugged her. "I'm back."

"Yes. Welcome home. Let's come in." She patted her head while saying, "And congratulations for the third place."

"Ehehe, I couldn't do anything without Theo's help."

"Mom is interested in him now. I have watched his performance too." She chuckled. "When will you introduce him to mom?"

"Don't tease me." Alea pouted and looked away.

"Haha. Let's enter first."

"Yes."

…

Lange Family Mansion.

Upon his return, he was greeted by his butler, not even his brother or father.

Laust hated them, but his anger was very calming as if they were ready to swallow them instead of openly confronting them.

His butler was happy for him after knowing that Laust planned to go to Japan to pursue more strength with that bronze medal. However, another shock came from Laust as he dropped another bomb.

"Young Master… What did you say?" His butler asked with mouth wide open.

"I am telling you. I still have fifteen million Zils in my account, right? I want you to send it to Theo…dore… right away."

"But that's your life-saving!" The butler protested, not understanding how his brain worked.

"It's fine. He created this opportunity for me. Without him, I would have suffered many things, including the brutal treatment other bullies received after what they had done to Theo…" Laust shook his head. "Besides, I'm going to Japan after dropping out of my current school and they have agreed to provide everything. Hence, I don't need anything other than my body and skill.

"After what I have done to him, this is the least I can do for him. After all, if I received such treatment, I would have committed suicide. Life-saving is nothing compared to my life." Laust smiled and gently asked his butler. "Also, I can make more money when I'm there, so it's not a big deal."

The butler was surprised by Laust's change. He couldn't help but feel happy for this change because Laust seemed to have matured.

"I understand. I shall do as you say." The butler nodded and turned around.

When he was about to leave, Laust added, "That's right. I made too many mistakes this whole time. And one of them is standing before me. Butler… No, uncle. You have been working and taking care of me for 17 years. I would like to thank you for everything. I know that I can't give you anything right now other than this thanks."

"Your words and thoughts are enough, Young Master." The butler smiled. "Also, this is my job. As long as Young Master grows up just fine, I can face my lady in the afterlife. Anyway, I will continue my job right now."

The butler hurriedly left the room and closed the door. However, he stood still for a minute while looking upward as if staring at someone in Heaven.

He muttered inwardly, 'Milady, Young Master Laust is growing up just fine. You don't need to worry about him anymore. He has taken his path… My only wish is his safety and well-being. May fortune bless him with its presence.'

…

As the others had their moment with their families, Theo returned to his empty home, knowing no one would be there. The sky had started turning dark, so he quickly entered to put down everything.

He dropped his luggage and spears in the living room while making his way to the kitchen to drink some water.

However, before he could even relax, he sensed someone's presence in his house as he instinctively turned around, jumped at that presence and punched it as no one should be in this house right now.

Because the light had yet to be turned on, he couldn't see the shadow's appearance.

He only saw how the shadow caught his fist easily despite his Magic Power and Telekinesis. No, the shadow even neutralized his power.

"Who are you?!"

"It's only been four months and you have forgotten about me?" A familiar female's voice echoed in his ears as she snapped her fingers, controlling the Magic Power to turn on the light switch.

With the light illuminated the room, Theo finally saw her appearance. It was none other than his…

"Master?!"
