Theo's plan was immediately commenced right after he convinced the three Transcendent Level Experts. Of course, the government was trying to take advantage of this.
Theo only fulfilled the agreement. He allowed the government to send their people, but it had to be according to their contribution.
After hearing about the airplane, Ray and Valerie were happy, knowing that they could finally have a reunion, not only with Theo, but with his adopted brother, Edward.
Hence, they worked a bit too hard in reviewing the footage about the battlefields as a basis to choose who was qualified.
Maya was preparing for the place, which was located in a hotel outside their current border. It would be a perfect place for them to grow stronger and test their strength.
And with the three Transcendent Level Experts accompanying them personally to both protect them and judge Theo's credibility, no one worried that Theo was trying to harm them.
It was going to be held tomorrow and lasted for three days. With the number of materials Theo planned to choose, three days were already more than enough. The rest would have to depend on the individuals after all.
While waiting for the training camp, Theo did a few things. The first place he visited was not his own house but the hospital where Aisha worked.
He knew that after her ability was exposed, her life wouldn't be the same anymore. If this was before the apocalypse, she might still be able to continue with her normal life. After all, there was no immediate threat.
But the apocalypse had caused the monsters to be around them, continuously threatening their existence. So, her ability became extremely important since she became the reason why people could fight again after sustaining extreme injuries.
That was why she came to her to comfort Aisha, telling her that it was fine to not do it anymore.
Of course, Theo assured her safety if she wanted to stop healing people.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Aisha still wanted to continue. But the pressure from the people was too much, so Theo relieved a portion of the pressure by changing the system.
Instead of letting her do it for free, Theo changed it based on points. Of course, Theo didn't make it like the normal hospital, which was Maya's solution.
He actually revitalized the previous temple's system but with Maya's Star Group. They were creating a small temple system with the resources Theo got from the monsters.
This was an emergency relief that would only last for a while since they were in the middle of a war.
Obviously, Maya worked on the treatment and point system.
This was the solution Theo had for Aisha and his group. The points could be exchanged for Aisha's treatment. Because she didn't treat for free anymore, it was true that people were raging. But Theo didn't make it based on the money, so the people couldn't really call him black-hearted as well.
At the same time, the point system and the reward were truly amazing. After all, the items he got came from a few countries, including two superpower countries. So, the quality didn't have to be questioned anymore.
Many people were signing up for it, trying to get the benefits. This was a similar system to what the Star Group had this whole time. But this time, the people who signed up for this wouldn't be affiliated with the Star Group and they could take on missions based on their needs, not pushed by the Star Group.
It became extremely popular for experts who had no influence. And they were actually the target for this system.
As long as the emergency relief system was up, most people would stop talking bad about Theo's group. After all, Theo had given them an extremely generous system that even the government couldn't compare. And since this was a gift, Maya managed to take a way around to avoid tax, strengthening the government.
This way, the pace of the government's rise became even slower.
As expected, they were discussing the matter at hand. The situation changed the moment the rumor about Theo's return appeared.
..
*Bam!* There was a loud bang from the table inside the room.
"What is this? Aren't we supposed to be at an advantage?"
"Since when Theodore Griffith returns?"
"Didn't the Time God tell us that Theodore Griffith was not in the base?"
They had a lot of questions. But more importantly, they were afraid. They had been beaten completely by Theodore Griffith. So, if they made one more mistake, Theo might end up erasing the government's existence.
In their mind, they didn't want to fight Theo again, knowing that their scheme might end up being read by him. So, some of them suggested that they became conservative and protected whatever they currently had.
On the other hand, there were a few people that wanted to attack Theo with this momentum. After all, they had suffered previously, so they wanted to pay him back for what he had done.
The opinion split and there was a huge debate that might last for a few days before they could get a decision. That showed how hard it was to take Theo down.
So, they had to be careful.
The government didn't realize that Theo had planned another attack the next day. While they were busy, all the influences that participated in the battle received the invitation to the training camp.
Those who had been talking bad about Theo stopped for a few days in order to avoid Theo's wrath. Those who had been neutral or on Theo's side were eagerly preparing for the training camp.
The atmosphere around the base shifted once again. All the pressure on top of Theo's group suddenly disappeared for a moment.
People had been saying that the only way to destroy Theo's group was to wait until Theo was gone. And they were right.
After all, it hadn't been one day since Theo returned and he actually had solved most of the problems and was ready to counterattack.
The counterattack started from the three Transcendent Level Experts, who actually came to the training camp with his granddaughter and her father, who was about to become the successor of the Great Mage.
"This is exciting. To think I would be able to listen to Sir Theo's lecture." Grance, the granddaughter of the Great Mage, smiled while looking at the huge hotel where they were supposed to stay.
