Chapter 527 - Leonardo’s Offers

After settling them down, Theo finally asked, "Can we move on to the important topic?"

"I have heard that you always want to cut to the chase from my daughter. I guess we can do it." Bernard nodded and glanced at Leonardo.

"Hmph. It seems I need to do it first." Leonardo harrumphed and raised five fingers. "My offer is simple to be honest. I won't mention anything about family to you so that you can be at ease. As for my offer, firstly, I will give you three billion Zils a year for you to spend. This is your allowance.

"Of course, we will allocate more money if you can keep getting stronger at your current pace. We have this small competition every year. The competition is random, so I can't say anything regarding the competition. Its only purpose is to assess your performance during that year.

"Well, it's easier to audit your family's finances by doing this assessment every year, so yeah. That's the first offer. Second, I will personally teach you for a year. You can literally ask me to teach you anything.

"I can teach you about warfare, Five Aspects, anything… I can teach you anything… Well, not really. Out of Five Aspects, my Awareness is the strongest. After that, it's my Control, Technique, and Endurance. I can't teach you anything about Breathing.

"We do have a set of Breathing Techniques, but I don't know if it will suit you or not. So, I can't promise you that one. That's the second offer.

"The third one is a Leveling Facility. We periodically clear our own Leveling Facility… It's twice a year to be honest, so the chance is not that many. Anyway, I will guarantee your quota every time for five years. In other words, you can get ten chances in total. It should be no problem for you to reach the Supreme Rank.

"The fourth offer will be a private mansion. You can do anything you want in that small mansion. If you need a maid to take care of you, just inform me. It's also equipped with several facilities to practice like this pool.

"Last but not least, I will provide your equipment and skill. If you need anything, just call me. Depending on your request, I will bring it to you immediately. Of course, you need to do something special to get an A Rank Skill… Though, it's impossible for you to use those skills for the time being.

"So I won't give you anything if I deem you not ready to use it. Understand?" He finished his explanation and closed his eyes.

"Is that non-negotiable?" Theo asked.

"I can give you a bit more since I haven't found you in these eighteen years, but I can't do too much. In fact, this is already a treatment for a new Mythical Rank Expert…"

"I see." Theo nodded with a serious expression, pondering his offers. He asked, "What do you want me to do in exchange for all those resources?"

He raised three fingers this time. "Three things. Typically, you won't need to attend every year's assessment because you only need to participate in it once every five years. Some attend every year, but yeah, if it's only a few million, I don't think you will care at that point.

"What I want you to do is to attend this competition twice within five years. You can do it more, but I want you to do it at least twice.

"As for the second one, I want you to follow the family's training rule. Every year, we have some collaborations with other influences, even with the Pope or some overseas forces to clear a specific area. Of course, the site is just for the younger generations, and the level of the monsters will be around yours.

"Or you can trade this group mission for three individual assignments. The family will also choose those missions for you. We don't care how you finish the tasks as long as you complete them. After all, we want you to become an independent fighter and strategist.

"Third, every two years, you will be sent overseas to gain experience. In other words, you are going to be an intern with another influence overseas. Your only mission is to solve their problem. That's all."

Theo thought for a moment and said, "Every other year is quite harsh, huh."

"As expected, you realized it…" Leonardo nodded with a serious expression. "All I can say is it's up to you how you do that. Some are doing the group mission then this intern mission. Some are doing the individual missions in the first few months while doing the intern assignment in November or December.

"We won't limit you, but at the same time, you need to think of a way to cope with this situation. Only after training you this way will you soon learn how to become a good strategist. Of course, most of them are because of our blood. No way others can replicate this." Leonardo made a smug smile.

"Our blood, huh." Theo narrowed his eyes. "In that case, doesn't it mean I will face some discrimination? Not only did I suddenly appear out of nowhere, but my blessing also didn't come from a war like figure."

Leonardo simply smiled and looked at Theo. "How have you been living until today, Theo?"

Theo was taken aback by the question and looked at him with confusion.

"Although I don't want to admit it, sometimes, there is this brute force that can shatter all kinds of strategy. If you don't like others, make them submit. If you hate them, kill them." Leonardo raised his finger. "As long as you comply with one rule, you can do anything.

"The rule is simple. There's no killing in front of another family member, especially in front of me. Even though we are family, jealousy and a few other things can make the relationship sour. That's why there is this rule.

"As long as no one sees it, everything is acceptable. Even with my motto, I can't handle the entire family, especially their emotions. Instead of letting them suppress that and ultimately ruin the entire family, I will allow them to settle it outside the family." He sighed… "That's all from me."
