Chapter 1118 Family

"If you lose, you're going to work for me." Theo smirked.

"You!" Christopher truly wanted to beat him to death, but Felix was glaring at him, preparing to make any move if Christopher had a sign of moving.

"Isaac. Sorry for this, but I need you to leave this room." Theo glanced at Isaac.

"Eh? But you said I can observe you." Isaac's expression was distorted, annoyed by Theo's order. However, he soon fell silent as he remembered what the Queen of Destiny said.

'Your thirst is too great. I won't deny that having that thirst will give you a big room for improvement, but it will also lead you to your destruction. Instead of seeing far ahead, why don't you stop and start looking around you for a bit?'

He took a deep breath to calm his heart and finally looked at both Theo and Felix, realizing Felix had been glaring at him.

He had been trained by Felix this whole time, so Felix's trust in Theo was already planted in his mind.

Theo was a man who never did something meaningless. So, him kicking Isaac from this room must be for a reason.

Well, Isaac would probably guess his real identity with what he was going to show. That was why he wanted Isaac to leave this room.

Isaac soon realized that Theo was his boss and the rest of the group were his subordinates. They were friendly to each other, but no one could deny that Theo was the very foundation of this group.

If Theo suddenly disappeared, the group could easily crumble. The relationship between each other was simply not that great.

When he saw that cold gaze from Felix, Isaac clenched his fists and turned around, leaving without saying a single thing.

But when he left the room, he didn't immediately walk away. Instead, he leaned on the door with his expression darkened.

'I see. Looking around, huh… I've come to realize that without Joker, the group may fight with each other. We simply don't have much trust in each other. It seems that my thirst has blinded me from this…

'What Joker wants is a family… a family that he can trust. That has been achieved. However, what he creates won't last long. As smart as he is, he should have realized this. In that case, is he aiming for something? Is he indirectly telling us that we should go on our way if he dies or disappears?'

Isaac didn't know that Theo's life was hanging on a threat. The Griffith Family wanted him dead, many countries were also aiming for his life, and the worst part was the higher being. If someone much stronger than a creator wanted to erase Theo from existence, no one could do anything.

Hence, Theo wanted them to be able to move on if he somehow died in the process. That was why Theo never cared about the relationship between each person as long as he was close to him.

Even though Isaac didn't know this, he was aware of Theo's intention.

'I don't like it. You want a family that you can trust your back to, but we're acting like a family only to you, not each other. This is not what a family is… Are your views about family distorted? No, I don't care about it.

'What I care about is… I don't mind if I have this thirst. Since I'm going to observe you, I'm going to continue researching you. Even if you disappear, I'm going to research the continuation of your tale and make you the biggest research of my life… That's right. My goal is to create a research paper that can become your biography.

'Even if you're not in front of me, I'm going to research the future generation. I know you're going to have a kid in the future. I'll continue watching over the entire family you've created for my own goal.

'That's why I'm going to fix this relationship between each family member. For that, I'm going to be closer to Felix, Millie, and Jeff… Just you wait, Joker. My thirst is not something you can handle.' Isaac gritted his teeth as he walked away with a determined face.

Theo wasn't aware of Isaac's change as he maintained his silence after giving his challenge.

"So, what will you do, Christopher Grant? The duel is simple. You play with your best, and the two people behind us will judge who the winner is."

"Are you brat going to challenge me with the piano? You, who doesn't even know anything about music?" Christopher clenched his fists. His heart was full of anger because Theo's challenge was the same as looking down on him.

He was a professional pianist that had made his name all around the world. Yet, Theo thought he could defeat him? There was no way his pride could take it.

"What's wrong? You're not going to accept the challenge?" Theo smirked.

"Fine by me." The blood rushed to his head to the point Christopher didn't think much about Theo's challenge anymore. He wanted to slap this kid to death with that arrogance of his. "If you lose, you're going to promise me to never tell a single soul about that picture and never use it in real-life to threaten me. At the same time, you're going to kneel and apologize to me for looking down on music."

"You… You owe us a favor, and yet you dare to present two conditions…" Felix gritted his teeth, wanting to slash this man.

However, Theo raised his hand, stopping Felix from making more remarks. He said, "Sure. Since I've changed the condition to recruit you, I don't mind doing it if I lose. However, you owe me a favor, and I'm a newbie… I'm going to set the challenge.

"The challenge is simple. We both are going to use the piano that we can create from Magic Power. I know that you have the ability to create a piano so that you can play it to boost one's power. We're going to use that kind of piano. Of course, I will also create my own piano.

"However, using our Magic Power in this kind of challenge will be dangerous since both of us can harm each other. That's why I have a condition. During our match, we can't harm each other.

"The match is simple. The people behind us will determine whose play is better. We will play one song. The song doesn't need to be long, so just two minutes should be enough for us to present our song or half of the song, right?" Theo smirked, presenting the condition.

"Fine by me!" Christopher was already filled with hatred that he never considered why Theo presented all those conditions.

Unbeknownst to him, a big smile appeared behind that mask as everything had gone according to his plan.
