Chapter 197: Negotiating Skill (1/2)
After that surprising leap of his levels, Sarah finally regained her calm. There was no other absurd change in his status since everything was recorded in his other identity.
Before leaving the temple, Theo asked, ”Is it possible to fuse two identities together?”
Recalling the scene where Mister An realized Theo had double identities, Sarah nodded for the answer. ”You can contact the other staff or me to combine the identities. If you want your main job to be a Fighter, then you will be dealing with me.”
”I understand. Thank you for your help.”
”Yes, please call me if you need something else.” Sarah tried to be as professional as possible instead of sucking up to him. She knew that people in this line of work would be rich, but only a small portion of them could live their life to the fullest and she didn't want to see it happening before her eyes.
Theo then left the house and called Nart to ask how he could pay the debts, including selling the rest of the Material Cards.
In the end, the two decided to meet in a restaurant during the night as Nart seemed to have another topic to discuss.
Theo arrived at a small family restaurant with no one else inside the store.
He saw Nart on the corner and quickly made his way to him, sitting in the opposite chair. Before saying anything, Theo quickly handed the Material Cards as he transferred the remaining debt.
Nart smiled and congratulated him. ”You've done a great job during this competition. I don't have any doubts that you're going to be picked as a participant, so you should prepare yourself for another hardship.”
”You don't need to say it. I know.” Theo shrugged and asked, ”So, what's the thing you want to tell me?”
”I have three to be honest.” Nart pointed to his neck with a serious expression. ”That pocket watch of yours… It's very important.”
”…” Theo quickly rose from the seat as he was uncomfortable discussing it, thinking Nart Eilric wanted to steal it from him.
However, Nart used his Magic Power to stop him from leaving while continuing his explanation. ”Listen to me first. I have no intention of getting the pocket watch because it's from someone I know.”
”Someone you know?” Theo narrowed his eyes and asked, ”Who is it?”
Although Theo had a hunch that the answer was his brother, he still wanted to confirm the identity without giving him any information.
”It's your brother.” Nart smiled and said, ”My Alea is in danger if I get that pocket watch, you see, so I don't have the intention of getting it.”
”You know my brother?”
”Yes. I don't know his whereabouts, but I can assure you that he is living well.” He thought for a moment and smiled. ”How about this, I will give this information for making my granddaughter reach Hero Rank, but I will tell you more about your brother if you can reach the main stage of the Grand Gaia and make my granddaughter shine. Depending on your achievement, I will tell you anything you want.”
