Chapter 529 - Meeting

"First of all, I would like to thank you for coming to this small place," said Theo politely as the two seemed.

"No problem. I can finally see my grandson with my own eyes, so I already win no matter the result." Leonardo laughed nonchalantly while resting his hand on Bernard's shoulder, looking at him with a smug smile.

Bernard looked away while hitting Leonardo's hand, pushing it away. He then turned to Theo with a serious expression. "Anyway, I have presented you with my offers. I believe this is a suitable offer for you, so yeah, choose wisely."

"I will. Let me think about it first before choosing it." Theo smiled.

"Of course."

"By the way, I have a question." Theo asked, "What is your country's take in having a monster as a pet?"

"A monster as a pet?" Bernard widened his eyes and thought for a moment. Theo seemed to be planning an even more ridiculous idea than he originally thought. "You mean something like a Monster Trainer?"

Leonardo pointed at Bernard as if he agreed with him. "Every job from the temple is just a way to simplify things. For example, a magician, there are different types of magicians from their Control, Affinity, and so on, resulting in so many branches from this. I mean, there are some who are mixing monsters' blood. We call them alchemists.

"Similar to them, Summoner also has branches. From a normal summoner to a monster specialist, who improves the monster's rank or power to the one you mentioned earlier, a monster trainer. They train monsters personally like that of a pet. I'm sure you know that monsters also have intelligence, right?"

Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"So, it's normal to have a monster by your side. Of course, you need to register them and everything they do that will endanger other people's lives, you will be charged with the crime. It includes destroying public stuff. That's why unless you're confident with your monster, you can't bring your monster outside." He explained.

"I see." Theo nodded and looked down. "Is that applied globally?"

"I think both of our countries have similar regulations about this one, so yeah." Bernard acknowledged it.

"Okay. Thank you so much for the explanation."

"No problem. If you have nothing to say, I would like to take my leave. Just contact me if you agree to my condition, and I will draft the contract for you immediately." Bernard rose from his seat and extended his hand.

"I understand." Theo shook his hand with a smile.

After that, Bernard and Maya left the house.

Seeing them leaving, Leonardo decided to do the same because he had another thing to do after this.

…

As soon as he came out, he looked at the sky while muttering, "I wonder where I should go this time…"

"Hmm?" Leonardo furrowed his eyebrows and looked to the east. "I see…"

He turned around and looked at Agata, "Go back first. I need to settle a few things."

"I understand." Agata agreed and saw him disappear.

A few minutes later.

Leonardo was standing in the middle of nowhere. He was on the other side after getting baited to this place by a certain couple.

"Well, well… Since you have invited me to this place, why don't you come out?" Leonardo looked forward while saying nonchalantly.

Suddenly, Ray and Valerie appeared before him.

"So, does anyone want to explain to me how on earth the situation has gone to this state?" Leonardo squinted his eyes. Even though he wanted to be carefree like how he approached Theo, he needed to maintain his dignity in this conversation.

"I really want to know why you chose this plan? I'm sure that you two could see what kind of suffering he needs to endure before even making this plan, right?" Leonardo glanced at the woman. "Valerie! Answer me."

Unfortunately, Valerie only looked down, not saying anything.

"You could even make a plan that will result in Theo living happily. Also, you could come to me… I can help you create a plan. Ray, talk to me, will you?" Leonardo glared at him.

He met another period of silence.

"No one wants to say anything?" Leonardo let out a long sigh. He suddenly realized another thing. "Hey, I think you're prioritizing the wrong thing. I can understand that you want to end that curse, so Theo's descendants won't need to suffer the same thing.

"Unfortunately, you can't do a thing if Theo doesn't even want to have a family because of his sufferings. I have seen him face to face, and all I can say is, he has trust issues, especially ones related to the family.

"Despite seeing his current state, none of you want to explain to me the situation?" Leonardo kept telling them off while asking the same question.

"I am sorry, Father. We can't say it, even if it's you." Valerie shook her head, finally opening her mouth.

"You can't?" Leonardo squinted his eyes before scratching the back of his head. "Anyway, I won't be explaining how to teach your kid because it's your way of parenting. All I can do is to act as Theo's grandfather and won't interfere with whatever you two or Theo will do to each other."

He paused for a moment before a sword appeared on his hand. He stabbed the ground and placed both hands on the handle. "Still, I also have my own way of parenting. Right here, right now, I am going to teach both of you a life lesson."

Suddenly, the Magic Power fluctuated in the area as a humanoid figure appeared behind Leonardo.

It had a muscular body that was covered with golden armor. He wore a helmet that hid his face. However, the most noticeable thing was none other than the massive sword on his hands.

Leonardo tapped the ground twice as a series of blue lines came out of the sword and spread in the entire area, creating 64 squares like that of a chessboard.

In that instant, more and more humanoid figures emerged from the square.

Ray and Valerie were trembling as this was the famous War Saint's Grand Chest. He wasn't known as the strongest man in Italy for nothing.

"Now… It's time I teach both of you a little bit," said Leonardo as he widened his eyes, releasing an invisible pressure from his gaze.
