Chapter 208: Theos Real Worth? (1/2)

After leaving Theo's group, Zara couldn't contain her curiosity anymore as she walked while tilting her head to look at Nella. ”Hey, Princess. Is he really your cousin? It's the first time you're glaring at me like that.”

The blonde guy raised his right hand and pointed at his lower arm, supporting Zara. ”If you took a look at my arm earlier, all my hair rose. It gave me a goosebump.”

”You don't even thank me when I'm saving your asses.” Nella shook her head in disappointment.

”Huh? What do you mean?” said Zara as she was as confused as the others.

”If you take another look at the rule, you will realize we're forbidden to have any contact with other countries. If there's a fight between two countries, the initiator country will be disqualified. He calmly went through everything, but if you looked at his hand a bit further, you would realize he almost had enough proof to frame us. It's not something that hard to pull a sympathy card while framing a big country like us. Besides, even if we clear our name later, it's too late since we will be under heavy investigation and can't participate in the tournament.”

”What do—” Zara suddenly fell silent and looked back, realizing that Theo actually held his Skylink in his hand. In addition to the security camera, it was indeed as she said. ”But you blew that small guy away.”

”Anyone seen me doing it?” Nella snorted and looked away.

”Kh… Argh, I'm frustrated just by talking to this girl.” Zara scratched the back of her head, wanting to beat Nella up, but knew she couldn't do it.

”Anyway, it seems our preparation is not enough. I don't care about this competition, but I still need to get number one. And with my cousin in that team, our winning chance has decreased even further.”

”Are you sure about it?” Zara narrowed her eyes and looked at her teammates. ”I feel like our team is the best already. We have prepared more than enough to confront our rivals like China, Japan, the United States, or even this country.”

”Did I stutter?” Nella's expression became colder.

”No, but you are—”

Nella stopped her and shook her head before closing her eyes for a moment, remembering the talks she had with her father. ”Let me ask you a question. Do you think I'm talented?”

”Of course! You are very talented. Your talent is hard to come by. I think only some from the same generation will be your match in the entire world.”

”There's one more person.” Nella shrugged while sighing. ”And as far as talents are concerned, my father said that I wouldn't be able to inherit the house if my cousin demands it. The one with bigger capability needs to bear more responsibility… It's such an ironic idiom.”

*Gasp—!* The rest couldn't believe her statement. Nella was already one of a kind, yet, the latter said Theodore Griffith was a far bigger person than her. They simply couldn't believe it.

However, Zara also noticed one thing. ”Why is he in that small team and in that small country?”

”Who knows.” Nella shrugged.
