Chapter 380 - Agreement
"Alright. Let's hear it." She thought she had passed the first stage of the negotiation.
"I have three conditions. First, I will take the lead, meaning I will choose the mission and you will also follow my command when we are on the other side."
"That's easy." She agreed without hesitation. In fact, she wanted to know how Theo led his teammates during the competition, so this opportunity was one that she couldn't let go of.
Theo paused for a moment and nodded. "Then, the second condition is the time. I will inform you of the mission within a month and the mission won't last for more than two weeks."
"I don't have a problem. I can extend my visit to six months without a problem. It's better if I can stay at your house, though."
"Enough with your joke." Theo shook his head helplessly. "The third condition is simple. I take everything during the mission. In other words, all Material and Skill Cards belong to me."
"Haha, if you come to the War God Family, I don't think you will put much thought into these cards. Well, it's okay though. It's not like I need them." She shrugged. "Okay. I can accept all three conditions."
"That's all. How should I contact you?"
"Here, here." She opened her Skylink, asking her to add her. "You only added Enrica and Ignazio previously and hid from me. You didn't say anything to them either, especially regarding your whereabouts. I was about to spend some considerable amount of money to find you…"
Theo shrugged and added her number to his contact. "I will be contacting you as soon as I find the information."
"Sure." She nodded and took out a book. "Take this."
Theo narrowed his eyebrows and saw the book title.
Eagle Vision.
"This is a gift from my country. Unlike the one circulating in the market, the pope has given several tips inside. This will consolidate your foundation regarding Vision Enhancement. Sadly, we can't give you the method for Prediction Eyes or Future Vision."
Theo received the book and stared at the book. "Thank you."
"Don't sell or lose it, okay?"
"Yes. I understand." Theo nodded without hesitation. "By the way, I know that I have just agreed to your condition, but how about you throw some information about my family?"
"Hmm." Agata looked at the ceiling while tapping her chin a few times, pondering Theo's request. After a minute, she stared at him and said, "I can't say much for the time being. However, I can give you a hint of your mother's identity. Your mother's blessing comes from Brynhild. She is known as the Valkyrie."
"!!!" Theo widened his eyes and thought for a moment. "If she is that well-known, why can't I find my own mother's information with just a basic search? I'm sure she appears in the media, right?"
"Well, yes. The Griffith Family hides your father's information, but the War God Family doesn't do that to your mother. It's easy to find her on the Skynet. However, she never took off her helmet and her armor, so no one recognized her face.
"That was why if Ignazio's family didn't tell me about it, I wouldn't know." She sighed. "Anyway, that's the extent I can tell you right now. I will explain the rest after the mission. Also, Ignazio insisted on meeting you previously because of this identity. I managed to convince them though."
Theo closed his eyes and opened the Skynet, searching for his mother with the keyword "Valkyrie".
Surprisingly, he found many pictures of her. In every picture, she always wore white armor that covered all parts of her body other than her small nose and enchanting mouth.
"You can find her information all you want now that you know about her identity."
"Then, it's time for me to leave." Theo rose from the seat and reached the door.
"Oi, oi. You are really a cold man. I just told you something about your mother and you decide to leave right after…"
"Then do you have any other matter to inform me?" Theo asked with a nonchalant tone.
She let out a long sigh and followed him to the door to see him off, but when he was about to leave, Agata grabbed Theo's wrist and pulled him in, giving a peck on his left cheek.
"!!!" Theo widened his eyes and instinctively took a step back, freeing himself from Agata.
She winked her eyes and said, "It's the reward earlier. Do you think I don't dare?"
"Unfortunately for you, this is a clone, so I didn't feel anything." Theo shrugged.
"Haha, of course, I know. I know you are a clone because I have been using my skill to make you hallucinate. But considering you didn't see anything, it means the skill didn't work." She chuckled.
"Here we go again."
"Nope. This is true." She pointed at her bag on the side of the chair, releasing a small trace of pink smoke.
"…" Theo's eyebrows twitched.
She licked her lips and pointed at it while saying with a seductive tone, "That's why… If you don't put your guard up, I might steal your lips next time."
Theo realized why Agata could charm many people. With just a simple gesture, she could somehow turn it into a very seductive pose. Every action of hers had a lingering effect on one's heart.
Theo couldn't help but say, "Seductress," and quickly closed the door, escaping.
She chuckled and glanced at the right. "So, what do you think about him?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared when the window was covered by a quilt, darkening the room. The figure was a middle-aged man with spiky green hair. His body was considered skinny, but it just made him harder to find.
He walked to the door and took another look at Theo's back, smiling. "His appearance caused an uproar in the family for two weeks. We needed to open some old records and contacted his mother for confirmation.
"Still, I can't understand his father's decision in agreeing with the Griffith Family's custom despite having thrown away that identity since he was only 18 years old. And it's weird to see his mother agree to this decision."
"Can't you just find the reason by asking mother-in… Ahem, aunt?"
The guy rolled his eyes and answered, "She didn't tell us anything. And it's not like we can just storm the Griffith Family to demand the answer. Also, don't push your limits too much, little girl. You can be here because our War God Family agreed to send you here."
"It's better than letting your family handle it." She shrugged and looked away.
"Whatever, I am just glad that my little nephew can grow up just fine despite the struggle." He let out a long sigh of relief… "Though, it's time for me to help him a bit."
