Chapter 121: Post Battle (1/2)

Ellen and Theo smiled at each other, knowing they managed to win this hard fight.

”Good job.” Said Ellen while giving a thumbs-up as she disappeared.

Theo also disappeared from the scene and returned to the training capsule. He then realized there was another problem he needed to finish even though he had won earlier. And that matter took away his joy for the time being.

Sighing, Theo opened his capsule before his eyes intertwined with Laust's.

The two remained silent for a few seconds.

Suddenly, Laust turned around and looked at the others while slightly lowering his head. ”I would like to apologize for my behavior earlier.”

To show that he was sorry, he quickly opened the screen and chose Alea for the next member since it was the team's will.

Ellen, Phyrill, Sihan furrowed their eyebrows but didn't say anything.

Laust then faced Theo with a serious expression. ”I hate you.”

Theo had expected this and talked back. ”The feeling is mutual.”

Laust closed his eyes for a few seconds to calm his heart down. After that, he continued, ”Still, I will be working with the team's coordination as long as the plan is logical.

”My Lange Family still wants to kill you, but due to the competition, the family shouldn't be able to do anything yet. Of course, my family wants me to help them to kill you. But… I won't do anything to you until the Grand Gaia is over.”

Phyrill and Ellen winked at each other since their relationship had become better while Sihan's eyes became unbearably cold, looking at Laust.

Laust didn't care about their reaction and continued. ”If I were you, I wouldn't rejoice first. After all, everything can happen in the future.”

Laust turned to the others and said, ”I am sorry, but I would like to skip today's meeting and do the rest tomorrow.”

Without waiting for their replies, Laust already walked to the door and opened it. When he was about to leave, he stopped and looked at Theo. ”Just to let you know… I'll never lose to you again… Theo.”

Theo remained silent and watched how Laust left the room.

Without Laust's voice, the room became quiet, so Phyrill broke it with another joke. ”Ah, so tense. Still, what did I watch just now? The legendary riv—”

Surprisingly, Sihan was the one who covered his mouth while glaring at him coldly. Even Phyrill couldn't fight back from that gaze, noticing that when a silent guy actually did something serious, he would be so menacing.
