Chapter 472: Weapon

"Before telling you the third one, I want to ask you this question. Do you know who your parents are?"

Theo frowned and asked back, "Do you know them?"

"Nope. I just want to confirm it with you." She shrugged. "I know it's personal, but taking you with me will surely shift the attention of the Griffith Family to me because of your talent… I just fear the worst. If we can get their identity, my own information network should be able to prevent any war between us."

Theo shook his head. "I don't know my parents."

"…" Maya looked Theo in the eyes before letting out a long sigh. "I understand. I will stop at that. Anyway, as you already know, there will be a big complication if any of the countries take you in. I just want to make sure there is a chance of success by knowing more information."

"That's how it is." Theo raised his hands in defeat. "Either way, sending you here means your country has taken some precautions against them, right?"

"That's true. Anyway, I will stop at this." She clapped her hand. "The fourth one is actually an introduction to my country. We have amazing weaponry, starting from my guns to shields. You can get everything here."

"Even artifacts?" Theo asked a question that silenced Maya.

She never thought Theo would add that one.

"That depends on your performance." She closed her eyes and answered. "If you are qualified, you should be able to get one. No, I can guarantee you one."

"Okay. To be honest, if you can just send me a file for that introduction, it will save us time…"

"That's true. Though, if you come with me, Nano Technology will be the standard." She smiled and grabbed her rifle. This two feet long rifle suddenly changed shape and turned into a blue bracelet. "This is Nano Technology. Our technology has come a long way to the point we can produce something like this… The current limit is B Rank Weapons. Also, you won't need to worry about other supplies and equipment. You want a grenade? I will give it to you."

"Well, that's certainly interesting." Theo nodded. "How much can you fit there to be honest?"

"Depends on the weight, density, and other things." She shrugged. "My biggest one should be a rocket launcher."

"Rocket launcher?" Theo glanced to the right and found a small barrel with a handle and some complicated machinery.

"You see it? It will be as big as an arm guard when I retract its form." She chuckled. "Though, the firepower is extremely strong."

"Well, that sounds powerful…" Theo nodded in agreement.

"Yep, you better watch out." She smirked and raised her finger, showing a small golden ring on her middle finger. The ring turned into a magazine and she showed him the copper bullet. "It can withstand heat up to 600 degrees and cause a small explosion. Once shot, you can think of it as a plasma bullet. I couldn't use this little toy back in the competition due to the restriction. But I can use it freely here, so I warn you to be a bit more cautious.

"Of course, Niki will be there to stop the match…" She smiled. "Just make sure you don't die in our fight."

"I won't die." Theo shook his head.

"Though you might want to use that Ring of Honor to block my bullets."

"We will see. I might not need it." Theo shrugged.

"You're really amusing. Do you think you can win against me? I am two years older than you, you know. My level is higher than yours."

"So, you are a Supreme Rank Expert…" Theo's expression was distorted as he stared at him as if she was an anomaly.

"Ehm… No."

"Then, it's fine."

She wondered if Theo's confidence came from his Materialization or not. If he only had Materialization as his trump card, there was no way he could win.

She had seen Theo's performance in the competition, so she was interested in his improvement.

"Young Miss, I think you shouldn't tell anything to your opponent," Nikita added with a poker face.

"I know, I know. But this one is not my opponent." Maya used that chance to tease him back. Her smug smile was telling him, "How's that?"

"Suppose I am trash… In that case, what will you do if you lose against me? What's lower than trash?" Theo looked down, thinking about the word.

"Your mouth is really one of a kind." Maya shook her head helplessly.

"I take it as a compliment." Theo smiled and praised her back. "I believe you are the rudest person I have met. Congratulations."

"Anyway, the one who will be extending the opportunity is my business group. If you come here, won't you become my subordinate? Should I order you to call me, Young Miss?"

"Haha." Theo laughed. "You're shameless. Does getting called young from someone younger than you really feel good?"

Nikita chuckled before returning to her poker face when Maya glared at her. "Niki, why did you laugh?"

"I am just happy that there is someone who can put Young Miss in your place." Nikita bluntly admitted it.

"You too?" Maya sighed.

"No, no. Your grandfather is troubled to see his granddaughter like this, especially in the last matchmaking session… You literally made the other guy kneel while crying. So, knowing there are people who can put you in your place means there is still a possibility of your marriage. Now, we need to find other people like him before we start another matchmaking session." Nikita turned to Theo and bowed her head. "Thank you, Mr. Griffith, for giving us enough hope."

"Ehm, I'm not gonna do it, though."

"I didn't say you're going to do it. I only said the possibility is there. Just gonna search for some people who have this kind of boldness." Nikita corrected him without a change of expression. "Of course, you're welcome to try."

"Since when does this talk turn into this romance shit?" Maya's eyebrows twitched.

"Well, you can discuss it with her…" Theo glanced at Nikita and playfully called Maya, "Young Miss. Pfft."

After that, he quickly rose from the couch and left the room while saying, "Since you have told me all four topics, it's time for me to go grab my weapons. See you later. Hahaha."

"…"
