Chapter 385: Dragon Subjugation

"Does anyone want to participate in this mission?"

When he saw the message, Theo furrowed his eyebrows and muttered, "My strength can't do much to a Level 400 Dragon. I can injure it, but killing it is close to impossible. So, it's no wonder this mission requires many people to get enough firepower to heavily injure the dragon."

With that thought in mind, Theo asked, "What's the scenario and plan?"

Alea never expected to see Theo becoming the first one to reply to her message. Of course, it didn't mean she hated it. Instead, she hurriedly replied back. "The plan is to have a total of 30 people, ranging from Level 250 to Level 320, to kill this monster. You will need to pair up at least with someone in this subjugation.

"Also, the one who kills it is not allowed to touch the corpse because all the materials can be extracted by other people, giving a huge amount of resources to us. If you participate, you will get one million Zil per person and depending on your contribution, you will get more than that."

"When is that and how long will this expedition last?"

"It's going to start in ten days. With the expected pace, we could reach the nest in three days. If everything is according to the plan, we will return to Ark City within a week."

Theo thought for a moment and glanced at Ava. "Unfortunately, I don't think you can follow me in this mission, Ava."

"Kyu…" Ava looked down with a sad expression.

Theo sighed and sat on the ground, carrying her. "As much as I want to bring you, if they know you are a monster, the situation will become extremely complicated. I will try to make up for it, okay?"

Ava, although reluctant, still nodded her head.

"Thank you."

Theo smiled and sent the mission to Agata, wanting to see her opinion.

To his surprise, it didn't take even ten seconds before Agata called him.

"…" Theo sighed and picked up the call. Before he even said anything, Agata already shouted in excitement. "I'm in!"

"Oi… Have you read the mission?"

"Something about Level 400 Dragon, right?" Agata chuckled. "My power is not that powerful, but I can still use a few skills to blind the Dragon."

"At least, you skim it." Theo didn't know what to do with this Agata, but since the other party had agreed, Theo said, "Okay, I'm going to register us. Since the mission requires a pair at the very least, the group will only be you and me."

"That's even better."

"…" Theo facepalmed and said, "Okay, send me your information. I know that you don't use your real identity to come here, no?"

"Yep. I will send you right now."

"Sure." Theo hung up without hesitation.

Agata, on the contrary, was surprised for a second before shaking her head helplessly. She sent the information to him while muttering, "Such a cold man. However, with how he keeps chasing his brother, I guess he treats his family far better than others. It's so special to the point it feels that chasing him is worth it…"

After receiving the information, Theo replied in the chat group. "I'm in."

Alea was excited to see Theo participating and replied, "Great. Do you want to pair up with me?"

Unfortunately for her, Theo shot her down by saying, "I have someone who will go with me. I will send her information later, but yeah, register her and me as a pair. I won't accept anyone to my group for the time being."

Alea didn't reply to him for three minutes before another message came through. However, the reply only had one word.

"Okay."

Theo tilted his head in confusion and sent his and Agata's information. Agata's current name turned out to be Moana Heins.

Alea only told him she would process it and never replied to him after that. Meanwhile, Phyrill and Ellen rejected the invitation because they had another thing to do.

Only Sihan accepted the mission.

In the end, Alea used her private connections and told everyone in her circle to join this mission, assembling all 30 people within days.

On the other hand, Theo talked to Agata after asking for all the necessary information, including the assembly point.

They decided to regroup on the other side, which was a good thing for him. All he needed to do was make sure Ava had her fill when she stayed in his house.

In the end, he ordered a bunch of meat and stored it in the house.

The next day, Theo was ready to leave the house to reach Hero Rank before this mission.

He called Agata first.

"Hello?"

"I just want to inform you to meet me in the Ratata Hotel in Ark City ten days from now. Since the departure time is 10 AM, meet me at 7 AM, okay?"

"I can meet you at 7 PM, you know… And even warm your bed."

"I'm not going to take responsibility."

"Haha, okay, okay. 7 AM in the morning. See you there." Agata chuckled and hung up since she needed to prepare how to impress Theo during the mission.

After finishing his call, Theo put his mask on and left the house. "Ava, I'm going."

"Kyu!" Ava waved her foot.

…

Little did he know, this was just another scheme from the Lange Family.

Ben Lange was standing before his father and said, "Father. Theodore has taken the bait."

"I will send fifteen Level 300 experts on this mission. Tell Sihan that if he fails to kill Theodore in this mission, he can think on how to escape from him because all the blame will be on him."

"…" Ben nodded. "I understand. I shall prepare everything."

Ben turned around and left the room while thinking how his father used the money to create this mission. He even made sure that Alea wouldn't get suspicious after receiving the mission.

Of course, he had been sending a couple of missions to Theo, but none of them had been accepted by him, so they used Alea to make Theo join.

They were lucky that Theo was also searching for a mission to join or else, they might need to find another way to force Theo to come to the other side.
