Chapter 1344 Agata's Preparation
"In that case, there is one more problem that we need to talk about." Airvans raised a finger. "We need to talk about the aftermath. You don't expect to leave the Eilric Family alone, right? After showing such insubordination, we need to make an example of them. Since Nina was the culprit this time, how about exterminating her family? It's said that Alea Eilric is Nina's granddaughter… Don't you feel this is the right move?He was planning to take Alea's family hostages before capturing them. In this situation, Eric could use his power to mess Alea up.
"Eilric Family has shown insubordination, and I plan to punish them after this expedition. But for now, we can't afford to make such a big move because the world will be watching us. If we show a single weakness, they're going to take advantage of it to swallow us."
Eric clicked his tongue. "Those bastards. They can't even be compared to us in terms of espionage, so they want to swallow us just because we're weakened right now?"
"Anyway, don't make any sudden movements. Just stick to the plan. We can't afford any mistakes in this situation. No matter what, we need to have Theo die before he becomes a huge threat that can annihilate the entire Griffith Family." Mason stated coldly.
Eric and Airvans knew that this old man was angry. If Theo was right before him, he would have turned Theo into a small cube, compressed by his power.
…
Italy.
"It seems that the situation has become a bit dangerous recently," said a young man who was politely bowing his head. "Mistress, what should we do?"
The woman, who was called Mistress, was none other than Agata. As for the young men, there was only one person that called Theo 'Master,' he was Walker.
"There's nothing we can do. The stage is set, and we can only wait for the play to start." Agata shrugged. "That's right. Have you done your research here?"
"Of course. I have gotten three perfect lands that can be cultivated to become our base according to his preference. After we settle this problem, we can buy the land after that. I have talked about it with the higher-ups." Walker nodded, confirming it.
"I see. That's good then." Agata thought for a moment and asked another question. "Then, how about the Skyward Mercenary?"
"Master has promised me to leave the vice leader alone. Although I am a chain user unlike a normal magician who has that overwhelming firepower, I'm confident I can defeat him. No, I have been preparing for this fight. I'll defeat him." Walker narrowed his eyes, giving a cold gaze.
Agata shook her head helplessly. "This is not like you, Walker. The usual you would have been so hyped instead of cold like this. What did you say again? Heihoo?"
"…" Walker was startled that Agata suddenly talked about this.
"Come on, cheer up. Don't be serious like that. I mean, you can be serious…" Agata rose from her seat and walked to Walker before pointing at his heart. "But keep it here. Become as calm as you can but just keep it in your heart. You can act like your usual character, being hyped all the time!"
"Isn't it the other way around usually? You must maintain your calm face and keep all that fighting spirit in your heart?"
"That's for others to not know what you're thinking, but Theo's usual style is not like this, right? He wants the other to think about something so that he can take advantage of it. That's why it's fine for you to keep that cheerful act since it also boosts our morale. But you need to cool your heart and mind so that you can have some attention to think about your next move.
"The enemies will think you're a fool with those acts, making them lower their guards. Isn't it a perfect opportunity for eliminating them?" Agata smirked.
Walker sucked a cold breath. He knew that Agata had been learning from Theo for a long time, but it seemed that she could apply everything she had been taught from Theo.
However, Agata added while patting her shoulder. "Still, if you're cold like this, I can see that you are too tense for this. Haven't you learned that the more tense you are, the higher chance you're going to make a mistake?"
"Ah!" Walker widened his eyes in shock.
"That's it. I'm not telling you what you're doing is wrong, but don't be too tense." Agata smiled.
Agata wanted to tell him that he was too fixated on revenge that he couldn't see everything around him. She reminded him to be himself because that was the only way for him to utilize one hundred percent of his strength. She had seen the problem and solved it.
Walker couldn't help but smile. He turned around and bowed to her. "Thank you, Mistress. I think I can understand why Master is head over heels to you. He is indeed blessed to have you by his side."
Agata chuckled. "You're exaggerating. I should be the one to say that."
Seeing Walker's expression had mellowed a bit put her heart at ease. And as expected, Walker immediately came to her and said happily. "If that's the case, what do you think of having me as the MC of your wedding in the future? I'll make it a blast."
"Haha, I won't say anything about it." Agata stuck her tongue out. "Anyway, I'll be asking you to protect me for the next three months, Walker. I'm afraid that the situation will become even more dangerous."
"I understand. I'll make sure that no danger comes your way, even if it means I must sacrifice my life." Walker nodded.
"Let's go back then. It's closing time." Agata smiled as she opened the door to leave the company.
"Yes." Walker smiled and followed her.
