Chapter 1244 Arrival
Chapter 1244 Arrival
“Have we brought everything?” Theo asked.
“Yes. All the items have been packed, and they’ll be sent over in a few waves.” Rea nodded while checking her Skylink.
“It seems that we’re going to work together. Nice to meet you.” Stella smiled, walking toward Theo. Despite the situation, only Maya, Bernard, Hendry, and his wife knew Joker’s real identity. Stella was the only one unaware of Theo’s real identity.
It looked unfair, but Bernard believed this was the best option right now. Of course, Stella also had her own suspicions.
Theo nodded and shook her hand. “Thank you for coming here, Madam.”
“I know my reputation will be useful on this trip. I’ve heard that you’re the one helping Maya in suppressing the enemies. So, just do what you believe is right.”
“Yes.” Theo acknowledged it as they looked at the airplane. Since they were carrying weapons and other supplies like food and water, they needed a special plane.
This plane was the Star Group’s private plane which was used as a Cargo Plane.
After having the last check-up, Theo then entered the airplane while talking to Aisha. “Sorry, but do you think you can avoid regenerating people’s limbs?”
Aisha tilted her head in confusion. If someone was in trouble, she wanted to help them. However, Theo wouldn’t say such a thing without any prior thoughts, so she said, “I can. But I need to know why.”
“I simply don’t have enough power to protect you right now. You should have known your own worth, right?”
Aisha nodded with a serious expression. In the previous organization, she had been brainwashed that healers like her were useless. But after coming here, she had learned that everything was wrong.
Her talent was rare even among the healers and, in fact, the most sought after. Only a few healers could be compared to her unique talent.
That was why Theo wanted to promise her such a salary in the first place.
“I understand. I’ll try to avoid healing people to that extent.” Aisha nodded with a serious expression.
“Seriously, sorry. It won’t be too long for you to be able to do anything.”
“En.” Aisha nodded with a smile, knowing that Theo had been thinking about this.
“Excuse me. Do you have a sec?” Rea came over, interrupting their talk.
“What’s up?” Theo asked while Aisha quietly moved away.
“Numerous companies and countries are helping them. So, this is going to be quite dangerous. People who are after you might use this chance to attack you, so I’m wondering why you don’t bring Felix, who is supposed to be your strongest fighter?”
“It’s fine.” Theo shook his head. “I have my own arrangement.”
“Care to tell me?”
“You can see it later.” Theo shrugged.
“Well, okay.” Rea still doubted him because she couldn’t find any way Theo could take advantage of his own weakness to deal with his security. However, Theo had been showing so many miracles to turn around the situation, so she decided to wait.
“It’ll be a while before we arrive there, so I’m going to have some sleep first.”
“Yep.” Rea nodded as she handled the rest of the process.
Not long after, the airplane took off. The journey itself went smoothly because no one even bothered to aim at Theo. It was clear that Joker had enough strength to protect himself from the explosion, and there was an indication that Theo could fly, so even if they exploded the airplane, Theo would survive.
Of course, Ergene and Ryo kept the surveillance tight, showing no opening that could be used. Meanwhile, Ergene had been in the small kitchen in the front cabin so that they could get a good meal.
The journey took six hours, so it was quite a tiring journey.
To their surprise, the moment they landed, they saw a middle-aged man with three silver stars on his shoulders. It seemed he had been waiting for them.
As expected, Stella was the first to come out since she was the highest representative of the company.
“Hello, thank you for coming all the way here. I’m Reinhardt, the one in charge of the refugees.”
“Hello, Mr. Reinhard. I’m the representative from the Star Group, Stella Hamilton. I know this is a hard time for your country, but if you’re planning to fight back or protect the civilians, I hope my gifts are useful for you.”
“Certainly. The Star Group’s equipment is the best in the world. How can I even reject it? I’d like to thank you on behalf of the country.”
Stella smiled and nodded. “Still, I need to let you know that I might be the representative of the company, but the leader of this operation is someone else. Let me introduce you to…” She glanced at Joker. “Joker.”
“This is the name I often hear recently.” Reinhardt nodded, acknowledging Joker’s presence and even extending his hand. “Hello, Joker. Thank you for the help.”
“It’s my pleasure. Well, I’m sorry if I’m being rude right now, but I’d like to cut to the chase.”
“Of course. The citizens are our priorities right now. I’ve prepared an arrangement for your group.”
“That’s great. Also, have you investigated the entire accident?”
“We’re not very sure either. We’ve been taking information from the civilians, but we can’t really make any conclusion to explain this phenomenon.”
“How about the investigation team?”
“They’ve gone there, but they haven’t come back. We’re a small country with only four Mythical Rank Experts. Two of them are assumed to have died. I and one other person are currently holding the fort. There are also various Mythical Rank Experts from other influences.”
“I see.” Theo paused for a moment. “Well, I’ve brought with me the scientist that helped a breakthrough of the research about a Special Region back in the US, so I’d like to have your cooperation with the research if possible.”
“To be honest, we can’t do much right now. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but we don’t have enough manpower right now. The best we can do is to send you civilians. You might be able to talk to them while handing some supplies.”
“That’s a good idea. We’ll take it then.”
“Great. Although I want to show you around, I need to handle other matters. So, I’ll let my direct subordinate show you the area where you can build a small tent for your operation.”
“Okay, thanks.”
