Chapter 1001 Information Broker?
Chapter 1001 Information Broker?
”We’re done here,” Brad stated with a serious expression while checking his surroundings before giving the result to Theo. “We have killed all the terrorists except for two Mythical Rank Experts known as Ground Snake and Reaper Snake.”However, we have injured them enough so that they can’t even fight against us anymore. As for our casualties, four Supreme Rank Experts die, and two need to retire from their careers. Graham’s healing skills can handle the rest.
”Is there anything you want me to do?” Brad asked.
”Keep controlling the mass and don’t mention anything about me. There are a few people who know that I’m the one in charge here, but it’s better not to spread it to the entire group soon.”
”Why? You’re not going to take the credit for this one?”
”There are only three people who need to know about this. Sir Bernard, Maya, and me. The rest are irrelevant.” Theo shrugged. “Anyway, you should do your job instead of talking to me. And without you doing anything, Maya will surely get everything under control since it’s easy to blackmail them.”
”Regarding the miss…” Brad scratched the back of his head while looking at Theo with a wry smile.
He still remembered how he kneeled to Theo. It was embarrassing, but everything was worth it if he didn’t lose his career over this. There was also the fact that Theo allowed him to take control of the situation, increasing his credit.
If Theo forgot about all this matter, he swore he wouldn’t go against Theo anymore. After all, even the cunning Ama had fallen in his hand. There was no way a guy like him could withstand Theo’s wrath, especially with how close he was with Bernard and Maya.
Brad then nodded to him before going to the rest of the group, talking to each individual because many things happened during this mission.
On the contrary, Theo let out a long sigh while thinking, ‘I guess he hasn’t figured out my identity. To be honest, if there are many people who know about this and the rumor starts to spread, I’m going to be in trouble.
’There are many people who will suspect me alive. I can use my current clone to do this, but it’s better not to use my trump card so soon.’ Theo shook his head helplessly, knowing his mistake.
He was so excited fighting against another trickster that he didn’t hold back at all. At the same time, they would have more casualties if he held back, so Theo thought he was lucky in this mission.
’I should have been more careful… There are still more than two years before I can go back to Italy.’ Theo sighed while thinking, ‘I wonder what kind of mission I will have next year? I don’t think I’m going to participate in the banquet anymore, so I will have time to raise my level and practice.
’Also, Felix will come next year. I don’t have any job for him right now, but I guess I can have him train his daughter for the time being while giving me some techniques as an assassin.’
Theo started pondering his next move after he returned to the US.
While thinking, the rest packed up their belongings and equipment. And as promised, they didn’t touch a single monster.
The General Class Falcon also forbade anyone from attacking the three organizations, allowing them to leave this place easily.
The falcon even thanked them because he managed to escape from Ama’s control.
After clearing up the area, they finally made their way back to the other side.
Obviously, Brad sent a report to Maya about the sudden attack and Theo’s involvement. Theo already stated he didn’t mind if Maya knew about his achievement, so Brad didn’t hold back in the report.
He told everything from the very start. There was an opportunity for him to take credit, but if Theo actually reported his behavior to Bernard, the matter would become more complicated.
As one would expect from Maya, she took the opportunity without hesitation after reading the report.
Maya promised to talk to him about this matter when he returned to America, so Theo didn’t bother her anymore.
Surprisingly, instead of Maya, there was someone that messaged him. It was from an unknown number, but when he took a look at the message, he understood who he was.
’Master. I want to inform you that my daughter has a sign of improvement, so your treatment was truly successful. As you said, I’m going to prepare to move to your mansion as soon as I have handled the situation here.’
’And I would like to apologize for investigating your background… From that, I have grasped a bit of your plan.
’From what I have found so far, including what you said to me, I believe you want a trusted subordinate who hasn’t joined any organizations yet. Their background must be clean, and they will need to offer their full loyalty to you.
’If that’s the case, I have a person in mind. I worked with him a few times, and in my opinion, he’s a unique person.
’He’s an information broker that has been running his business for a while. However, he never asked for money. Every time I went to him, he always asked me to show my strength as if he was obsessed with it.
’I am not very sure myself, but I believe he has something he wants… I plan to visit him before going to you because I think I can convince him with Master’s unique ability. What do you think, Master?’
Theo furrowed his eyebrows when he saw this message. Although he understood Felix’s personality, he still couldn’t completely believe him for a matter like this yet.
’Well, this is useful information, but I don’t know about this guy yet. Maybe I should ask him about this guy’s full information and ask Agata to investigate him. If it matches, maybe I should go to this guy myself…’ Theo thought before replying to his message. ‘Information broker, eh…’
”You don’t need to. When the time is right, I will visit him personally. For now, you can go straight to my place, and we can talk about this matter face to face after you’ve arrived.
”And even though I’m your boss, you don’t need to call me ‘Master,’ just ‘Joker.’ I will also call you Felix to make it easier for us to communicate.’ Theo muttered while typing the same words that he spoke. “Send.”
