Chapter 1978 Last Preparation

"This happens because of you joining the government. If we don't side with them, our son would have gotten a special lesson from Theodore Griffith and achieved a breakthrough already!" A woman glared at her husband, who happened to be the leader of one of the biggest influences in the base.

The argument started in the morning and it still continued even after lunch. The argument was related to what happened last night

Not only did Theo manage to teach someone to reach the Transcendent Level Expert, but he also did it easily.

If Theo wanted it, he might be able to turn all the Mythical Rank Experts under his command to reach the stage with enough time.

That was why many people were angry and helpless. They were blaming people or even themselves for the bad decision to side with the government, trying to control Theo's group. They also couldn't do anything against the current situation.

There were a lot of influences that tried to speak up in order to gain Theo's favor. They wanted the opportunity to become a Transcendent Level Expert since their influence would become one of the best with a single Transcendent Level Expert.

Some even switched sides from the government to Theo, trying to make amends. It was clear that Theo would rule the world in the future. Whether it was from the shadow or not, it didn't really matter.

Unfortunately for them, people were skeptical about their influence, considering they only did it just to get Theo's support. If they had another chance to betray Theo, they would do it without hesitation.

Theo didn't bother with the current situation because everyone was overreacting. Of course, what he did truly shocked the world, but if they didn't win the upcoming battle, they would lose everything.

So, Theo would rather focus on the current matter instead of politics. He had done enough anyway.

With this, the government might be able to get a say in the plan, but they wouldn't be able to overwrite Theo's command.

This was enough for Theo. After all, he still needed the government's help.

Theo gathered Rea and Maya again to discuss their next move.

"Well, the situation has stabilized. So, you don't have to be afraid of the current matter." Theo turned to Maya. "Is our plan ready?"

"Yes. I have managed to pressure them to set out to both bases. There should be a total of ten flights in a week since safety still has to be measured. I believe they will come through this path." Maya explained. "I don't know who will come, but they should be contacting me soon. It's not that hard to hide their identities. So, yeah…"

"Good then." Theo nodded. "I just want you to focus on this matter. Make sure that you investigate all those people if possible. I'm pretty sure that the old Griffith Family will sneak in."

"Should we stop them?"

"No. There is no point in stopping them. First of all, if they can't enter this place, they will attack the union. It won't have a huge impact on us, but it will surely affect the current situation.

"As for the second reason, they are like a tumor. I'm not planning to let the tumor grow larger and affect me. So, I'm going to get rid of everything once and for all!" Theo stated with a cold tone.

"Understood." Maya nodded. Their leader had stated it loud and clear, so there was no need to stop him anymore.

After finishing the matter with Maya, he turned to Rea. "I have two tasks for you. First, I want you to connect those influences as well as the beggar association and the Griffith Family. We have to maintain the surveillance network."

"Understood. Although we have enough men to stop the outside threat, we don't have enough men to handle the inside…"

"I have already made an arrangement for the inside threat. So you don't have to worry about it. Just focus on the monsters from outside."

"I understand." Rea nodded in agreement. "Then, what's your second order?"

"The outside will be extremely dangerous. After all, there will be a lot of Saints fighting there. So, I want you to arrange a barrier that separates the normal battlefield and the Saint battlefields.

"This will require a lot of manpower, considering the Saints can easily reach your battlefield. Hence, I'm going to place the Kings and Queens between the Saints and normal fighters.

"Your task is to lead the group to prepare for an impact and take advantage of the opportunity. Don't worry. I have made some arrangements in order to reduce the number of the King Class Monsters."

Rea thought for a moment. "So, there might be some attacks finding their way to us. And you want me to use it against the enemies?"

"Yes. But be careful, the attack of a Saint will be hard to stop. So, you have to measure the abilities carefully. Just use the one that you can use."

"Got it." Rea acknowledged the orders.

"Good." Theo nodded as if he had finished dealing with the matter.

But Rea had to stop him. "I'm sorry, Master. There is something I'd like to ask. What about the spies? They're the biggest threats right now, considering they will be able to cause a lot of ruckus inside the base."

"The spies won't be able to do much. Even I don't know how many spies the enemies have. But I'm sure of one thing.

"My countermeasure will work well suppressing the unrest. So, you don't have to worry about it."

"I understand." Rea, although curious, didn't say anything. She knew that Theo tried to hide the trump card for the time being. So, she just had to wait until everything unfolded.

Theo patted Rea's shoulder with a smile. "You'll be just fine."

After that, he went to Maya and said, "Don't forget the turrets."

"Where is my encouragement?" Maya's eyebrows twitched, glaring playfully.

"Haha. One billion for one encouragement." Theo made a cheeky smile.

Maya clicked her tongue as she couldn't make a comeback after that. But before leaving, Theo added, "You are not someone who needs my encouragement. You are a person who wants to be my equal, right?"

Maya was stunned for a moment before smiling. "Equal? No, I'm going to surpass you."

Both of them exchanged a smile before Theo left to make his last preparation.
