Chapter 1182 Time

Chapter 1182 Time　　"Ah, I start regretting my decision to send you there."

"Is this enough?" Millie asked while furrowing her eyebrows.

"Yes. That's enough, young lady. You should crush it and burn the paper."

"I understand." Millie nodded and crushed the paper so that no one could see anything. After that, she opened her eyes and confirmed the paper had been crushed before saying goodbye to both of them.

Meanwhile, Rea was completely dumbfounded by her father's reaction.

"What do you mean earlier?"

"I completely took back what I said earlier. That Joker… might have a way to kill that old hag. Though, I don't know what he's planning to do."

"Huh?" Rea tilted her head in confusion. "You said he was ignorant… So, he's not anymore?"

"Yes. I am sure that he has a teacher who has taught him that. Though, I am not sure who his teacher is."

"How about the Time God?" Rea asked. "He is the strongest person in the world, right?"

"Well, that's true. But I met him a long time ago. He was not a person who would teach anyone about it, so it should be someone else. But among the top ten experts, only the Time God resides in the US. There are two more top one hundred experts, but… I don't think they can teach him. So, someone from the outside?" The Sword Saint pondered.

"Then, what should I do now? Should I go back right now?"

"No, you can continue to work for him and find his identity. And if possible, find his teacher as well. However, you need to be careful, you might die in the process. That's why I want to ask you once again, do you think you can complete them?

"If you succeed, I believe you will be aware of this hidden power by the end of your mission. You might even surpass your brother. However, the risk is too big. As a parent, I want you back immediately.

"But as the Sword Saint, I want to ask you to continue this mission. Because the storm is brewing and Joker is in the center of the storm."

Rea raised her hand and asked one question before answering him. "There is something that I want to know. If you knew about this back when you met him, what would you do?"

"Hmm… Force him to submit to me or kill him. But I can't turn back time, so I want a friendly relationship with him. He is like an investment with the highest return but also the highest risk."

"I see. In that case, I'll stay here." Rea nodded.

"Okay. I'll respect your choice. Just call me if you need some help. I'll do my best from here."

"I understand. Thank you for worrying about me, Honorable Father." Rea politely bowed to him.

"I wish you luck, Rea."

"Yes, Father."

While Rea disconnected the call, Theo was having a meeting with Jeff and Felix. There was a calendar as well as a map on the table.

Theo had been staring at them for a while before Millie returned to the room.

"I've shown it to him," Millie reported with a smile as if she had just accomplished a big mission.

"Thank you, Millie." Theo nodded.

Millie hesitated for a moment and said, "He seemed to understand the meaning. He said he regretted sending her to this place."

"I know." Theo acknowledged it without hesitation. "How can he not regret it? Everything was under his control this whole time, but it turned out his daughter was a useful weapon for me to deal with the current threat. It was the same as telling the world that she was the proof of the connection between the Sword Saint and me."

"So, you're going to use her to drag the Sword Saint into this?" Millie asked.

"Yeah."

"…" Millie was speechless. Everyone in the world knew how big the name of the Sword Saint was. Yet, Theo claimed he had the confidence to manipulate the Sword Saint… If anyone heard it, they would think Theo was crazy.

"You should sleep first." Felix came to her, not wanting to have her fall deeper than this. After all, this meeting would turn the world upside down. The more she knew about it, the more it endangered her life.

Although disappointed, Millie knew her boundary and decided to go back to her room.

"So, what's the matter with those things that you want me to draw?" Jeff asked. "I don't see the reasons for it being the ultimate weapon."

"That's not the ultimate weapon. That's just a simple bait." Theo shook his head. "The ultimate weapon is something else."

"Oh?"

"Well, the situation is going to be difficult for us." Theo sighed.

"What's going to happen? Are we going to fall into danger?" Felix asked, worried about Millie.

"I won't say it will reach that point, but the Star Group will certainly be shaken. Even with their wealth, they might have a very hard time." Theo narrowed his eyes.

"Are they going to be attacked?"

"Most likely. Even our lives will be in danger. I don't think they'll go as far as coming to this place since it's filled with Mythical Rank Experts, but coming out will be extremely dangerous."

"So, we're going to hole up for years?" Felix asked.

"Yeah, but there's a problem, more like my personal problem." Theo sighed. "I still need to reach Mythical Rank in 18 months. I'm worried that I won't get enough levels if we hole up. That's why I'm planning to find a way to escape from here."

"You're focusing on your level instead of your life?" Jeff shook his head helplessly. "Why do you sound like the Death Reaper is less important than leveling…"

"Well, she is less important. If not because of her, I won't have to use this plan that I've prepared for someone else." Theo sighed.

"So, you have already prepared some stuff to kill a top expert this whole time?"

"Yeah. I got that last piece not long ago."

"Nagasawa Rea? No, the Sword Saint?" Jeff frowned.

"Exactly." Theo smiled. "I'll make him regret forcing me to take care of his daughter."

"…" Jeff scratched the back of his head, never expecting Theo to be this bold.

As for Felix, he actually thought of someone else. It was Theo's grandfather from the War God Family, Leonardo. Even though Leonardo wasn't a top ten expert, not many actually wanted to fight against him. After all, Leonardo's plan could manipulate the situation and kill them. Theo just proved that point by how he was trying to manipulate the Sword Saint.

Even the Death Reaper might die from this. That was what he believed.

However, there was one thing that remained unanswered.

"We can't really hole ourselves up for years or decades. For how long do we need to wait? I mean, looking at the situation, the longer we wait, the more perilous the situation will become."

"I know. That's why we're going to move at…" Theo looked at the calendar and pointed at a certain month.

"This is…"

Theo smiled. "Isn't it exciting? A great person should have a grand event for her funeral."
