Chapter 1213 Theo's Real Scheme

After finishing the interview, Theo then walked to his group.

Rea was the first one to approach him as she asked, "Has Honorable Father…"

"He's gone to drink the Time God." Theo shrugged.

"Haha. How is it, Joker? Have we accomplished our goal this time?" Isaac smirked.

"Perfectly." Theo had the same smirk.

"Then, the last thing we need to do is that, right?"

"Of course."

"What's that?" Mark asked carefully. This entire scheme had blown his mind, but it seemed they had yet to finish. So, he carefully listened to their conversation.

"There's only one thing that we need to do. Turn around the situation." Isaac made a smug smile. "By… I guess the CEO knows what to do?"

Isaac looked at Maya, who could only sigh while pressing her forehead.

"I have a good capital to counter the enemies." Maya nodded. "If I return to my company right now, I can start threatening them."

"That's not enough, Maya." Theo shook his head.

"Not enough?" Maya raised her eyebrows, confused.

"Yep. The first thing we need to do is to fetch your father."

"My father? Do you know where he is?" Maya dropped her jaw to the ground. She had used so much money to find her father but to no avail. Yet, Theo could do it easily.

However, Theo's answer completely blew everyone's mind.

"Of course. After all, the one who kidnapped your father was your grandfather."

"What? My Grandfather?"

"Yep, under my request, that is."

"Wait, what? You're the culprit?" Maya grabbed Theo's collar as her frustration rose to the peak. "What did you say? Did you ask my grandfather to kidnap my father? Did you know that your decision cost hundreds of billions?"

"Of course, I know. That's why we're going to grab your father right now." Theo smiled. "Follow me."

They had so many questions, but Theo simply ignored them until they met Bernard.

And Theo led them to Marcaman, where he had made an agreement with the boss of the beggar association.

"This place is…" Maya furrowed her eyebrows.

Theo only smiled at the guard and asked the people inside, "Where's the boss?"

"I'll guide you to his room. He's playing cards right now." One of them responded. "He's told us that you'll visit us today, so he's been waiting for you."

"Great." Theo nodded.

"Wait. Since when did you become good friends with these people?" Maya had so many questions in her mind.

However, those questions disappeared for a second when the beggar opened the door where her father, grandfather, grandmother, and Felipe were playing cards together.

"Hahaha! Full House. Get rekt!" Bernard proudly shouted as if he had just won.

"You still have a lot to learn from me, brat." Hendry snorted and revealed his card. "Straight Flush."

"As expected, Sir Hendry." Felipe smiled.

Meanwhile, only one person actually realized the group's arrival. She was the only Mythical Rank Expert among them, Maya's grandmother.

"Welcome, my little darling."

"Ah!" Bernard looked at Maya fuming in anger. His face became pale as Maya did the exact thing he imagined she would do.

"Wait, wait, wait, my dear daughter!" Bernard raised both hands as he looked at the pistol she pointed at her own father.

"What do you mean by this? Do you know how worried I am?" Maya gritted her teeth.

"This is not my plan. It's him. Blame him." Bernard pointed at Theo without hesitation. "He believed that your talent would bloom in this situation… which was proven when I let you become the CEO of the Star Group. He said he wanted to make his subordinate stronger, you see…"

"…" Maya was shaken by this revelation as she turned to Theo.

"Haha, I know your character, Maya. You must have thought that you would become an even greater businesswoman so that no one would believe me if I said you're my subordinate. I think you're mistaken… it's the other way around. You were not qualified to be my subordinate at that time, so I gave you the opportunity to grow so that you're qualified." Theo smiled.

Maya's body trembled as she looked at Theo in fear. His action somehow reminded her of the words she had told him back then.

"I only accept a man who can push me down." This plan simply showed that Theo had the strength to completely crush her, not simply defeat her. And with that, he made her grow.

"But the current situation of the Star Group and the Starry Group is so dire that it won't recover for a long time…" Maya said while gritting her teeth.

"Don't worry about that. People won't dare to go against the companies anymore simply because they'll be scared of us from now on." Bernard shook his head, denying her concern. "Besides, the company now has a lot of cash to spend. Making it recover to its former glory will only take a year or two.

"But with this incident, you will know who is truly loyal to the companies. Make sure to treat them with respect. I'm sure that the current you won't make the same mistake with your arrogance. Besides, we can use that capital to buy other companies to expand ourselves a bit or even strike down our enemies."

"You should know more about this, Dad. It's hard for us to defeat those enemies in our current state even with money!" Maya gritted her teeth.

"That's why Joker insisted on this plan." This time, Felipe was the one who answered her. "We received a package earlier. The package consisted of the Death Reaper's corpse as well as her student… she's only unconscious though.

"With both of them, it will be easy to threaten Great Britain to help you take care of those enemies of yours… After all, a country won't like it if their strongest expert gets a disrespectful death. Although they will hide that news… if the top ten experts die miserably, they will lose a great amount of standing in politics. It will become much worse with the fact that the country has lost such an expert.

"If we add her disciple's life who can be said to be her successor, it will become easier to threaten them. In other words, you will get help from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to take your enemies down by using the corpse of your enemy. Threaten them with their own people… Sounds really good if I say so myself.

"And my Beggar Association will deal with the negotiation… This way, Joker has fulfilled his side of the agreement in making my Beggar Association stronger, even in name only. Lucky. It's like free money." Felipe chuckled. "Thanks, Joker."

"No problem." Theo nodded.

"But… but… we still don't know which companies are the enemies. Some might just join the fun to get the benefits. There's no way they're going to make unnecessary enemies…"

"Ah!" Mark gasped. "Patrick."

"Hehe… I'd asked several people to record their conversation with other companies." Hendry smirked. "This way, we can determine our enemies and focus our capital on taking them down.

"And it's time to prove your own worth, Maya. Because of your foolish father who bet away his own daughter… Joker created this test for you. Now that you'd become wiser and more experienced, it's time for you to take the mantle and become the CEO of both companies and make them big enough that even a storm can't harm the company. This is the reason why I agreed to Joker's plan… Felipe was the one telling me all this though."

"I just followed the instructions." Felipe chuckled and took out the envelope that Joker had given him at that time.

"Hahaha!" Bernard, Hendry, and Felipe laughed together as if they had gained so many things.

"I guess I can retire and enjoy my life now. Just waiting for my grandchild." Bernard leaned back with a blissful expression.

Albeit, Maya, with an annoyed expression, pointed her pistol at him. "No. You are still going to work even as my support. I'm not going to let you retire this early, Father."

"…" Bernard looked away and said, "Ehm… Can anyone kidnap me again?"

"Mom will be the one chasing you down."

"Yes… Ma'am. Looking forward to working with you."
