Chapter 945 - Playing With Words

"Here." Theo pointed at his left while approaching something that was emanating Magic Power.

They gradually walked closer until a broken sword entered their vision.

Theo could see a purple-colored Magic Power covering the sword. Knowing it was a sword with an Order attached to it, this item should be able to give them some attribute points as long as it matched.

"This sword is good." Isaac examined the sword carefully before pulling it out of the ground. "It has a Purple Magic Color… What kind of affinity do you need to absorb this power?"

Theo made a wry smile behind his mind, thinking, 'It's not affinity. It's Order. If you don't have someone to absorb the Order for you, you won't be able to increase your status.'

Obviously, he wouldn't share this secret with anyone because the information was a huge secret.

Seeing the sword in his hand, Theo couldn't help but take another glance at the items on his back. This sword was the third artifact they had found. And because of Isaac's analysis and Theo's sensitivity, they could find all these without finding another danger.

It was truly such a blessing to the point they thought it was possible to empty this place.

"We're going to be rich." Isaac smirked. "I have a feeling we can easily get fifty billion in this place."

"No. Let's stop at ten billion each." Theo shook his head.

"Eh? Why? Shouldn't we take this opportunity to gain as much as possible? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Isaac was confused by Theo's statement. After all, ten years from now, they might have reached Mythical Rank. When that happened, they couldn't enter this place anymore.

On the contrary, Theo had a different view and explained it to Isaac. "If we bring too much, we'll be suspicious to the point more problems will come just to know about the information.

"After all, if the two of us are all it takes to get 50 billion, what if they send hundreds of people? And not only them, but other influences as well?"

When Isaac heard this statement, his face became pale, imagining the worst outcome. "Not only will this place be emptied, but we also will be killed to prevent the information from going around, especially by those who want to monopolize it."

"That's right." Theo nodded. "On the other hand, if we bring only twenty billion, we can say we've gained some insight, and the information we have is not entirely right…"

"So, do we need to lie about the information? Didn't you say you hate liars?"

"No, not lying. We just give them incomplete information about this secret… These 20 billion will also give them enough proof to know that our information is somewhat correct."

"But how about those who want to monopolize the information?"

Theo smirked and said, "That's impossible. We only need to give them 20 percent of the information while putting the requirement as a service to make them believe. Monopolizing the information? Some information is already there. Silencing us? We don't even give them the whole secret.

"Have you forgotten about your skill? We'll use that Analyze as the cover. They'll think that you have the chance to discover the secret of this place. That's why they won't kill you… Instead, they'll allow you to continue your research while monitoring you.

"Ten years later, when this place is going to open again, they'll be more desperate for more information. We will give them a bit more information. Let's say… raise it to 30 percent of the information. Then, we have a few more decades to play."

When he heard Theo's plan, Isaac sucked a cold breath, shocked by how far Theo had seen ahead. "So, that's how it is…"

Isaac's reaction was enough to prove that he wasn't great in political and manipulation negotiation.

Theo felt he could take advantage of this, but whatever he said right now would backfire. Hence, he decided to wait until everything was over.

"Well, that's the plan. What do you think? We should be able to get more than fifty billion from the information alone… since we'll be selling information to many influences. They'll keep each other in check while monitoring us."

"But is it alright for them to monitor us?"

"Yeah. It's fine. Don't you remember I'm a part of the Star Group? My identity alone is enough to make them doubt… And with how mysterious I am, they'll think I'm the key to your Analyze Skill. That way, they'll be more focused on me."

"I think so. But that will just put your life in danger."

"I will have you share some of the burdens by selling the information. I'll tell you about how much you can share with others… Just make sure you don't tell anyone no matter how close you are to them."

Isaac thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "I don't really mind. I'm an orphan… In other words, a loner. I don't have anyone to share it with."

"Sorry… But, it's good enough." Theo smiled behind his mask. Little did Isaac know, he was already tricked by Theo's words.

He told him that people would focus on him more than Isaac, but no matter what, Isaac should have some fair share of trouble.

For a loner like him, Isaac shouldn't have enough strength to fend them off. Hence, he would come to him again to seek guidance.

At that time, he could use this opportunity to recruit Isaac to the influence he would soon build. Although he didn't admit it, Theo knew how useful Isaac's ability was.

And Isaac already knew his absurd attribute points. The only way to protect Theo's safety was to make Isaac his ally.

Unlike the God of Mischief, who used his words to trick others into creating mischiefs, he utilized this talent to empower himself. This was a big investment for the future. And more importantly, there wasn't a single lie in his words.

Now that he had gotten what he wanted, Theo continued their search for items. "Let's continue."

"Sure!"
