'Heaven, Hell, and Spatial Rift?' Theo thought while closing his eyes so that Bernard didn't feel suspicious. 'I don't see any reason why I need to know about these three… However, I'm certainly curious about the previous riddle.

'Cruel winters and moral chaos… Is this what will happen at the end of time? It's clearly stated that the end is inevitable, so no matter how hard one avoids it, the end will surely come.

'But people can extend the lifespan of an era… Does this mean if I interfere with this matter, the end won't come anytime soon?'

The riddle was obviously indicating doomsday. Yet, Theo felt that wasn't all.

'Now that I think about it, he brought his army to end an era. After that time, all Gods and Goddesses were exterminated by the fire demon…' Theo narrowed his eyes, catching a few meanings from this mission. 'Does this mean he knows something about it? Do you want me to destroy the Earth? I promised you I would create mischief all around the world, not massacre.'

[You will understand it after completing this task.]

'Huh?' Theo was still confused, but it seemed Heaven and Hell were connected to the beginning and the end.

He had a few reasons to reject the mission, but humanity would surely destroy itself sooner or later. 'In that case, I need to save it for now… At least, for myself.' Theo thought.

After a few minutes, Theo finally opened his mouth, saying, "To be honest, I don't see how I can convince the frost giant…"

"Is it truly impossible?" Bernard squinted his eyes. Theo was the only person who had a friendly relationship with a World Class Monster and the recognition from the frost giant, so he was the perfect person to do this. If even Theo couldn't do it, he could only prepare for the worst.

Theo let out a long sigh and stated with a troubled tone. "Fine. I will do it."

Bernard's expression brightened. Theo wasn't someone who accepted a mission without confidence, so the moment Theo agreed, he should have some assurances on how to complete the mission. That was why this brought joy to Bernard's heart. "Really?"

"On three conditions." Theo raised three fingers.

"Let's hear it." Bernard nodded without hesitation. He had expected this response, so he would certainly support him to the best of his ability.

"First. I need two months before I act. You should be able to delay them for two months, right?"

"The construction is not finished, and the president will do his best as bait. So, yes… we should be able to delay them for a couple of months." Bernard nodded before asking, "Why do you want to delay this matter for two months?"

"I need to level up." Theo sighed. "I need to be at least level 600 before completing anything."

"That's reasonable. Okay then. What about the other two conditions?"

"As for the second condition, you need to tell Maya today about the current situation and that I will send my clone to work in her company."

"Huh?" Bernard was bewildered by this absurd condition. He could understand the first condition, but the second one confused him.

"Come on. I'm trying to examine my future subordinate." Theo chuckled, nonchalantly brushing the matter off. It was clear that he had another ulterior motive.

However, Bernard chose not to pry his ulterior motive. Nonetheless, Maya would be with him in case he failed, so it was quite reasonable to check Maya's capability beforehand.

But there was one thing that made Bernard hesitant. He looked into Theo's eyes and asked, "Doesn't this mean you're going to expose yourself? Even though I know you're going to use a skill that changes your appearance, everyone will think you're Theodore Griffith."

"I just want you to promise me that and don't ask anything else. I have my own discretion." Theo refused to explain the reason. However, he thought this would be the perfect time to set another plan in motion.

Even if he succeeded in defeating them, the desperate enemies would surely aim for their lives. So, Theo wanted to confuse the enemies before doing anything. Or at least that was what Bernard thought.

As for the real reason behind this condition, only Theo knew about it.

"I understand. Since you have told me about it, I can tell Maya. I'm sure that my daughter knows which one is more important." Bernard agreed again before closing his mouth, waiting for Theo to say the last condition.

"Last but not least, I want you to bring me another five A Rank Skills."

"Five more A Rank Skills?" Bernard looked down, contemplating. He remembered Theo taking in a father and his daughter along with Isaac. So, he thought the A Rank Skills were for them.

Without hesitation, he agreed to it and even added, "Do you have any request about the specific skill? Like elements and such…"

Theo shrugged. "No. As long as it's an A Rank Skill Card, I have no qualms. Bring those five A Rank Skill Cards within two days since I'm going to leave three days later."

"There shouldn't be any problem with it." Bernard nodded. He had promised Theo to help with any small matters. Even though he might need to forcefully buy the skills at a higher price, it wasn't something he needed to care about.

"We have a deal. Although a contract is useless at this level of agreement… I guess I still need one."

"I'll send the contract to you tomorrow."

"In that case, we have a deal." Theo extended his hand.

Bernard shook his hand with a grim expression. He couldn't expect that he needed to rely on a young kid for a matter like this. His heart was filled with shame.

But he truly had no other candidates that could do a job like this better than Theo. He could only feel guilty and fulfill the agreements.

"Still, to think the mighty Star Group's CEO is relying on a kid…" Theo smirked, taking this opportunity to tease Bernard.

Surprisingly, Bernard didn't have any change of expression as he prepared to take any kind of insult.

"…" Even Theo was speechless and had no mood to tease him again. He turned around and walked toward the door while saying, "Two months later. The base will be destroyed. Station someone 100 miles to the south. I will meet him so that he can check the result… Remember, I want a trusted person from the Star Group… I don't trust that president no matter how good he appears."

Bernard closed his eyes with a smile. "Yes. I swear in my name."
