Chapter 413 - Small Discussions
Unaware of the conversation between Agata and Alea, Theo continued his way to Major Sam.
"We are done here," said Theo while staring at him with a calm expression.
"Sure enough. I have underestimated our genius here." Major Sam smiled. "Materialization… To think you can utilize that power already. If not because the president had asked us not to interfere with your business unless it's something important, I would have asked you to join the military. Maybe we should kidnap you…"
"You jest." Theo raised his hands. "Others also have improved, not just me. Anyway, I think it's better to cut to the point… If you don't mind."
"Sure." Major Sam thought for a moment and waved his hand, "Let's go to the side."
Since he wanted to avoid anyone hearing the conversation, Theo agreed and followed him to the side while watching his surroundings.
"Let's do it with one question at a time, shall we?"
"Sure. Since I helped you, I have the right to question you first, right?"
Theo nodded. "Yes. Alright, it's my turn. What is this Daemon Group?"
"…" Major Sam widened his eyes, never thinking that his confirmation was considered a question. He shook his head helplessly, remembering that he was also shameless enough to bully a kid when they negotiated regarding the help. "Ahaha, you are good."
Theo shrugged and looked away.
"I will still answer you though. The Daemon Group is a rising assassin organization. You know about twelve Chinese Zodiacs?"
"Yes."
"There are only twelve members in this Daemon Group with their leader, Dragon. It's hard to even see their appearance and we don't have any information about this group."
"Can't you just use the data? I mean, all people will be registered at the gate, no?"
"You have Teleportation skills, so I am sure I don't need to explain this question…" Major Sam sighed while glancing at him.
"I see. No wonder." Theo nodded in understanding. The Daemon Group must be using the Teleportation skill to go through the thick wall and leave."
"According to our information, they have, at least, seven Supreme Rank Experts in their group. That's all I know. And they usually touch only their targets, unless there is a big resistance from bystanders."
"I see. So, that's why they killed them." Theo nodded in understanding. "How many people were killed earlier?"
"Wait, I will ask you right now." Major Sam waved his hand to stop him before uttering his question. "What is the relation between you and the assassination attempts?"
"You don't need to ask it in a roundabout way." Theo shrugged. "It's the Lange Family. That answer should be enough to give you all the necessary information between them and me."
"Fair enough. I have been digging for your information ever since I remember you were one of the students I taught during the training camp." He nodded in agreement. "As for your question, there are a total of sixteen people, including Sihan Raskaka, your former teammate."
"…" Theo fell silent and thought for a moment. "I don't think there is a corpse left in the area, right?"
"Yes. They have been disposed of."
Although he felt awful to not be able to confirm it, he decided to let it go since the other party seemed to be a skilled assassin group. He still remembered how they killed ten people in a single move without anyone noticing unless they were watching it directly.
"Since I have answered your questions in succession, I will also ask multiple questions." Sam thought for a moment and said, "Why do you need to kill Sihan Raskaka? Who is planning the assassination and who is planning the dragon's rampage?"
Theo frowned. As he expected, Major Sam already recognized that there were two people planning for the scheme. Otherwise, their strategy wouldn't be contrasting and could be easily destroyed by the joint effort of the Eilric Family and the Military.
"I have no proof, but with how I see it, Sihan seemed to be planning the assassination. As for the dragon, I am assuming it was the Lange Family. They were cooperating with each other, but they didn't seem to trust each other that much. That's my guess." Theo answered honestly. "As for the first question, I don't know what you are talking about. The enemies died in the hands of this Daemon Group."
Sam rolled his eyes, obviously not believing his last statement. Even so, he understood the need to not admit his killing.
After all, what kind of killer would admit they just killed someone in front of military personnel.
"By the way, are you going back together with this group?" Theo asked.
"Since more than half of your group have died, I think it's better to escort you. We can also confirm that the anomaly of this Chimera Wolves pack has passed. Of course, I don't mind if you come to me to chat during the journey."
"That's a good idea…" Theo smiled before his expression turned back to a poker face. "But no."
"Are you talking to your friends like that?" Major Sam's eyebrows twitched.
"…" Theo remained silent, not answering that question.
However, Major Sam just used that chance to tease him. "You just don't have a friend, don't you?"
"Are you picking a fight with me?" Theo sighed.
"Hahaha. Alright, let's stop here. I have fulfilled my side of the agreement and you also have done everything. With this, the agreement has been fulfilled." Major Sam smiled and extended his hand. "It's a pleasure to be working with you."
Theo shook his head with a smile.
"Ah, it's impossible to call me again next time. I don't have any more curiosity about you. Unless you bring me something better, I won't work with you anymore."
"That's fine. I can just ask other people for it." Theo shrugged. "I'm sure I can entice them with this Ring of Honor."
"…" Major Sam shook his head helplessly and left while muttering, "Little devil."
Theo looked away and found Agata sitting next to the cubicar while waiting for the next instruction… Since the dismantling process would take a bit longer, he decided to come to her, only to be handed a towel and a cup of water since he had sweat too much due to the temperature earlier.
