Chapter 418 - Mission
Theo didn't hear anything from Agata as he returned home right after leaving the room.
He needed to consider his next mission to level up. And after staying home for two weeks, Ava was eager to act with Theo again.
He spent the rest of the day making some plans regarding his next leveling up.
Before that, he checked his status once again.

"I only have three months left to do this." Theo thought for a moment. "Seeing the time and my current progress, I need to reach level 310 within the first month. After that, I will need a week off to consolidate my power and train a bit. I also need to resupply everything before heading back to hunting.
"And I will use the rest of my time to reach level 350. It's going to be hard to be honest. Unlike the previous scenario where the monsters are one rank above me, which gives me additional EXP, this one only comes from the level difference, meaning the EXP will be a lot less.
"If I want to keep up with my progress, I really need to fight higher-level monsters. For example, with my current strength, I should start fighting level 300 monsters.
"It will take more energy and the situation will be more dangerous, but this is the only way," Theo remembered how he performed in the fight against the dragon. "To be honest, I couldn't do much to the dragon.
"If Alea didn't help me wound the dragon and if Agata didn't take the dragon's attention, I wouldn't be able to do anything. Even so, I should be fine with level 300 monsters. Each level gap has gradually become larger, but I can still manage them. It will be a bit impossible if we are talking about Supreme Rank, but I'm still a Hero Rank Expert.
"In that case, I should start searching for Level 320 monsters for a small boss in my training. Since I am planning to reach level 300 in this expedition, my last enemy should be around level 350 to 370." Theo thought for a moment and searched for a monster."
Theo thought for a moment and searched for monsters he could hunt.
"Ava, do you have any idea?"
Ava tilted her head in confusion and shook her head. "Kyu."
She left everything to him, even though she still watched him choosing the missions in case she found something interesting.
Theo, on the other hand, kept searching for his missions until his Skylink started ringing.
"Hmm?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows and looked at it, finding the caller's name.
Raith.
"Ehm, isn't this my personal assistant from the Assassin Temple?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows and picked up his call. "Yes. Do you need something from me?"
"Actually, I want to inform you about a personal quest." His tone was hesitant, yet, he seemed to be pressured by someone.
Theo, on the contrary, remembered he hadn't established some sort of rule regarding his personal mission with Raith. He only did it with Sarah since his real identity was far more famous than his other identity.
"Sure enough." Theo nodded in agreement. "Send me the mission."
"I understand." Raith quickly sent the mission details to him.
Mission: Meeting with Waterie Group.
Level: -
Reward: 1,000,000 Zils
"…" Theo fell silent and quickly checked his balance.
ID: 280104977610
Name: Theodore Griffith
Balance: 76,102,600 Zil
He had gotten all this money from the reward. He also had the Material and Skill Cards from the expedition he had yet to sell.
Thinking for a moment, Theo didn't feel like wasting his time for one million Zils. It was big, but he would rather go to the other side tomorrow instead of meeting this person.
Not only had he met their representative when he acted as Theo, but he also thought money was less important than the level in his current situation.
Hence, he replied, "I am sorry, but I don't have time to do this. I already plan to leave for Ark City tomorrow morning."
Suddenly, there was a clicking sound from the other side as a female's voice echoed in his ears. "Hello, Mr. Joker. I hope you still remember my voice."
"…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows as this voice struck his mind. It was none other than the woman he scammed back then. "Yes. I certainly remember your voice. Thank you for your patronage."
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Arba Haestus. I am the general manager as well as the successor of the Waterie Group. Your ability is remarkable, so I would like to invite you for a simple lunch."
Theo facepalmed and realized what she had planned. He knew this woman was rich, but he never expected her to be the daughter of the current Waterie Group's CEO. The Waterie Group alone was considered one of the top five organizations in this business, so it certainly surprised him.
Even so, Theo's tone didn't change as he said, "So?"
"Eh, So?" Arba's body shook as this was the first time someone talked this casual when she mentioned her background.
"Yeah. If you just want to talk, I can only do it a month from now." Theo didn't care about her and continued running his mouth.
"Wait, wait. I'm the representative from the Waterie Group, you know."
"So what? If you don't have anything to say, I am going to hang up." Theo let out a long sigh.
When he was about to hang up, she quickly added, "I am talking about cooperation. I can give you a hundred million as long as you sign up… No, you said you are planning to go to Ark City tomorrow, right? I am about to request a mission.
"The mission is to kill a level 280 monster."
"Not interested. Thanks for the offer. Goodbye." As soon as he heard that last statement, he rejected her and hung up.
*Thud!*
