Chapter 984 The Eccentric Assassin
Chapter 984 The Eccentric Assassin
”Hmm… Is this the town?” Theo muttered with a serious face while looking at the map. “He should be in this place… Yulara, a small town in the southern region of the Northern Territory.”Since he had arrived, he immediately came inside the town. As one would expect from a tourist, he was clueless about where to go.
He just asked a few random people about the address he received from Agata. However, all the people who responded to his questions gave him a weird look, even though they still answered his question.
’Weird. Is there something wrong with this assassin? Whatever. This is my clone anyway. Even if I die, he won’t be able to do anything to me.’ Theo sighed and walked according to the people’s directions, finding a small house on the opposite side of the city.
”…” Theo was taken aback when he looked at the building.
The house barely reached a thousand square feet. A size that didn’t fit a Mythical Rank Expert’s prestige and wealth. Still, the place was neat and looked new.
’Is this the wrong address?’ Theo scratched the back of his head while looking at the note Agata left behind. He confirmed the brick wall again along with the huge metal gate that prevented anyone from looking inside the mansion.
Suddenly, someone opened the gate as though they sensed him. It was already late at night, so it was quite a surprise to see someone opening the gate for him.
”Who is it?” A young man took a peek outside and found Theo standing in front of the gate.
”I came here to meet the eccentric assassin,” Theo replied with a calm expression.
”…” The young man narrowed his eyes as his upper body seemed to be moving. It must be a signal to the people behind him.
As a renowned assassin, he should fear people taking revenge on his already weak daughter. So, Theo could understand his feelings a bit.
”What is your intention to come here? Who are you? If you come here to harm—!”
Before he finished his sentence, Theo raised both hands as a sign of surrendering to him. He stated, “I’m here to try healing his daughter.”
”Huh? Our masters have visited numerous Mythical Rank Experts, and none of them couldn’t heal her. Meanwhile, you, a mere Supreme Rank Expert, bragged that you can heal her?” The guy gritted his teeth, looking at Theo with hostility.
When he was about to attack Theo, a tired voice resounded from the inside. “Enough.”
A black-haired man walked to the gate and fully opened it, showing his appearance along with those who hid behind the gate and the wall. It turned out there were a total of five people prepared to take him down.
”…” Theo was surprised. Despite the guy standing in front of him, he could barely sense his presence as well as hear his footsteps.
With the raging Magic Power coming out of his body, he knew this man was none other than the eccentric assassin.
Still, it might be due to the stress, but his appearance looked tired and tattered.
”Master!”
The assassin narrowed his eyes, observing Theo’s appearance. As expected, he couldn’t identify the young man before him.
”Since I can’t move, I have taken a few disciples while staying here…” The assassin said with a calm tone, introducing those five people. “And I’m sure they have told you that numerous Mythical Rank Experts couldn’t save my daughter…”
Theo smiled and raised two fingers. “There are two types of people who will have confidence in treating your daughter. The first type is those who have enough experience and skills in their field.”
Theo’s statement silenced all of them as they were curious about what the second type was.
”And for the second type?” The assassin immediately cut to the chase, not wanting to be bothered by this person anymore if he was just going to con him.
However, Theo’s answer moved his heart.
”The second type is those who have…” Theo paused for a moment, creating suspense. When they started losing their patience, he continued, “…special abilities.”
”!!!” Felix was the first to understand his words. His expression turned grim, thinking, ‘Who is he? Does he have a special ability? What if he’s my enemy that wants to kidnap my daughter?’
Seeing the hesitation in Felix’s face was enough for Theo to say, “You’re an assassin, so you must be good at surveillance. Just check whether I come here alone or not… Do you think I, a mere Supreme Rank Expert, can fight you by myself?”
His words made sense. Even Felix was convinced, but for his daughter, he would become the most careful person in the world.
”All of you, check the town,” Felix ordered all his disciples to scout the town, not only to check Theo’s credibility but also to give them some time alone.
”Are you a curse master, a poison master, or a doctor?”
”None of them. I’m just a simple fighter.”
”Are you joking with me right now?” Felix started releasing his killing intent, annoyed with Theo’s reply.
”Nope. I don’t know if you have heard about me or not, but my name is Joker…”
”Joker? Which Joker?”
”There is only one Joker.” Theo smiled.
”America?”
Theo nodded.
”If you want to impersonate someone, you should choose the target more carefully.”
”If I show you my skill, is that enough?” Theo smiled and waved his hand, summoning his Death Avatar. Of course, the only reason he showed him here was that there was no one outside right now. He even put an illusion so that no one saw it.
”!!!” Felix was shocked to see the same figure that appeared in that video. Although someone could replicate this power, they couldn’t replicate the intensity emanating from the avatar.
After one second, Theo retracted the Death Avatar and said, “I’m just going to try my luck here… If you think I scam you, you can chop my head right away. It’s not like I have the ability to escape from you.”
”There’s logic in what you say.” Felix pondered for a moment before turning around, walking back to the house. “Come inside.”
