Chapter 691 – Misunderstanding

Chapter 691 - Misunderstanding

"Drop the pleasantries and lead the way." Theo glanced at the guy with a cold expression.

"I understand." The guy didn't show any displeasure and guided him to the top floor where they could meet with the Safulli Group's president.

It didn't take too long for Theo to sense this overbearing pressure. Just like other Mythical Rank Experts, he felt the intense Magic Power emanating from inside the room.

He looked at the door with a grim expression.

The guy knocked on the door twice and said, "Sir, Theodore Griffith has arrived."

"Come in."

He then opened the door for Theo, revealing the man behind the Safulli Group.

Theo's expression remained unchanged as if he didn't fear the Mythical Rank Expert before him. Instead, he was observing everything, from his spiky blonde hair to his skinny body.

The man hurriedly rose from his seat and spread his hand, saying with a smile. "Theodore Griffith. I am happy to finally meet you face to face!"

Theo nodded and entered the room before saying, "It's indeed our first meeting."

After he entered, the guy closed the door, leaving them inside the room.

Since that was the case, Theo didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Let me confirm this. You want me to bring you the Pata Corporation, right?"

"Hoh? I like to cut to the chase too." He smiled and pointed at the two couches on the corner of his office. He sat on one of them while saying, "Of course. We're going to talk about it right now."

Theo fell silent for a moment before sitting in front of him, staring right at his brown eyes.

As soon as Theo sat down, he said, "Yes. I want to acquire the Pata Corporation. But before that, I want to ask you…"

His tone became cold as his expression turned grim. He asked Theo, "Why did you choose to accept my request? A man like you should know what I truly want, right?"

Despite the pressure, Theo maintained his calm and said, "Then, do you know what I want?"

The guy raised his eyebrows, not expecting to get a question from him. He thought for a moment and shook his head. "For someone like you, I don't dare to guess your desire."

"I have two things, and I will just give you the clues. Why did Sir Leonardo announce that I am a free man? And why did I dare to mess with the Czar?" Theo smirked.

The guy instantly got his answer. He closed his eyes and looked at Theo again, knowing that the man before him was a real deal.

"Because of my aggression to the War God Family, especially the conflict between Lorenzo and me, you want my support in succeeding the War God Family. At the same time, if everything fails, as long as I can swallow all influences after acquiring the Pata Corporation, you will have a safe cushion to fall on.

"And there is also the fact that I have my own backer. In other words, you want to increase your options, allowing you to control every situation." The man narrowed his eyes. He felt a goosebump when he realized all that.

It turned out Theo had been working on his plan since the start. If something came into his way again, he could use all these cards to play with them.

"As expected from the man that the War Saint respected." The man smirked while thinking, 'Now, now… I have been fighting against the War God Family, although I know how their system works and still manage to give a mission to him…

'I am still suspicious of his motive. Is that all he wants? What if the War God Family sent him here to destroy me?'

"Mister Carmelo…" Theo called his name and said, "I actually have one more thing I want to express."

"Hoh? What is it?"

"I am just a young man who doesn't have any influence and is sheltered by the War God Family… I am unqualified to have the most beautiful woman in the world…" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"!!!" Carmelo widened his eyes and thought, 'Most beautiful woman… Isn't that Agata Mota? Did they tell him that he's unqualified? Now that I think about it, Agata Mota mysteriously disappeared as soon as he came to Italy.

'I heard that she had shown some interest in him, but her disappearance… No, the Mota Family must have hidden her so that they couldn't be together. However, everything changed when he showed his brilliance.

'I also heard that Agata Mota had been expelled by the family and disappeared from the public eye. If that's the case, she must be hiding inside the church where her best friend is.

'So, he's doing this because he wants to show the Mota Family that he is qualified, and by how he messed with the Czar, he wants to bring the Mota Family to his feet, showing them that they're the ones who are unqualified, not him.

'I see. So, there's also a personal grudge…' For the first time, Carmelo thought Theo came here might not be related to the War God Family.

Little did he know, he just misunderstood him. As soon as Theo saw his appearance, he got the feeling that Carmelo was the thinker type.

So he thought this was a perfect opportunity to cast a misdirection.

Because of his rule, he couldn't lie to Carmelo, limiting his choices. After some quick thinking, Theo decided to use those two sentences that came from his own perception to deceive him like how he tricked the dwarf.

He was indeed a young man without any backers. After some time, he would leave the War God Family and search for his own influence to rely on. If he had the War God Family behind him, no one would reject his love. He indeed had his brain, so what he needed was the backing.

And because Theo said that he wanted the Safulli Group and the one behind them to be his backing, this made him think about all that stuff, falling into a deeper misunderstanding.

The best part was that Theo didn't even tell him a single lie.
