Chapter 955 Giving Up
”We’re done here,” said Theo with a serious expression. Before him was Emma and Kain as they were the ones who approached him as soon as Theo brought Isaac to where the Mythical Rank Experts stayed.”We?” Emma tilted her head, looking at Isaac’s face as if he was a suspicious person. Although he knew Isaac because he was on Asda’s List, she didn’t know why Isaac came here with Theo.
”Why do you come back here one day earlier? And is there any reason for you to bring this little friend?” Kain asked with a serious expression.
Theo smiled and glanced at Isaac. “Show them.”
Isaac nodded and opened his huge bag, showing all the items they’d got.
”!!!” Even as a Mythical Rank Expert, Emma and Kain couldn’t contain their surprise when they saw all these items.
”So many?!”
”How many are there?”
A smirk appeared behind his mask. Theo took advantage of their shock to convince them. “There was a cooperation between Isaac and me for these artifacts… I think we’ve got some clues about this special region.”
”Really? Is this the reason why you can bring so many artifacts?” Kain widened his eyes before thinking, ‘Normally, the people will bring one or two items from this place. They can gather one or two billion from this special region alone.
’That’s why the Star Group sent two hundred people. Even if all of them couldn’t return, these people could still bring at least two hundred billion worth of items in total.
’If Joker could find all these items with Isaac, they might truly know some secrets about this special region. In fact, they should have already absorbed some items. That’s why their loot should be worth more than thirty billion.
’This is great news for the company. If we can learn more about the special region, the company might be able to make twice this year’s number easily.’
Kain believed this was the case because they returned one day earlier. If they returned together with the others, they would believe Theo and Isaac were desperately looking for those items.
Knowing Theo was a special talent, Kain thought this might be worth the shot. He asked, “What do you want?”
Theo smirked and said, “I want you to hide these items for the time being. We will just take half of them back to show others…”
”So, you want to conceal the truth?”
”I’m going to negotiate with Sir Bernard personally.”
”Fair enough. If the company can learn a bit more, we can triple our profits easily.” He nodded in understanding. “What do you want me to do?”
”Nothing. I just want us to return as soon as possible while we brag about our findings over there.”
”Seriously? Aren’t you going to prioritize the company? If you’re going to advertise yourself over there, won’t the company lose so much with this…” Kain raised his eyebrows.
”I don’t have a contract stating I need to hand everything over to the company.” Theo shook his head calmly.
”How about this? Why don’t you hide everything, and the company will help you with the advertisement?”
”So, the company wants to take all of our achievements?” Theo narrowed his eyes.
”…” Kain scratched the back of his head, trying to explain. “No, no. Listen to me first.”
”I’m just following the contract. I might not be able to leave the Star Group, but the company can’t restrict my action.” Theo turned around and handed half of the artifacts. “Anyway, we have recorded everything. Unless you kill us, the company will know about you stealing our property.”
”There’s no way I will do something like that!” Kain sighed, feeling frustrated. Although this was his second time negotiating with Theo, he still couldn’t contain himself.
Theo was simply too much. Even Bernard had a hard time talking with Theo.
’Whatever. I’ll just let the CEO deal with him.’ He waved his hand and raised his voice with an annoyed face. “Go, go! I don’t care about it anymore!”
’He gave up…’ Emma thought while observing their conversation. Compared to her, Kain was better at negotiating, so he was supposed to be able to handle someone from the company. However, with this action alone, it was clear Kain had given up negotiating with Theo and pushed all the future negotiations to Bernard.
At the same time, Theo didn’t care about the negotiation anymore. He started dragging Isaac away from this place and returned to the entrance of the special region, waiting for the others to come out.
…
The following day, experts from various influences started to leave the special region. The people from the Star Group also began to emerge from the mist, finding Theo and Isaac sitting next to each other while enjoying their time.
”To think you need to wait for all of them… It’s not easy to be in a company, eh?” Isaac teased. “This is why I prefer to be alone.”
”It’s just a matter of time. One day is not a big deal.” Theo shook his head calmly, claiming he didn’t mind waiting for his group.
Still, they managed to see Theo’s loot together with Isaac. Seeing those items alone was enough to make them drool. However, they couldn’t show such an expression because Theo might make trouble for them.
Little did they know, Theo’s target wasn’t them. Instead, it was the people who took this chance to use the Star Group’s exit to monitor their loot. These people would deliberately come out of this exit so that they could gather more information about how other groups were doing.
The Starry Group and the Star Group did the same. Even Maya personally came to check Theo’s loot.
’Impossible. I saw him leaving a few days ago… And he and Isaac still found items worth more than ten billion? No. Theo won’t brag something this low unless he has something to hide… Don’t tell me… He knows the secret of the special region and earns more than this?’
This thought shocked Maya as everything turned out to be more extraordinary. She was unaware that Theo already knew Maya would come here to check on him.
It was the biggest opportunity for him to catch Maya and increase the price of his information.
And because of his mask, no one saw the sly smile he had.
