Chapter 237: Italy Team (1/2)

With them completing the bracket, the banquet had officially ended as this was their main purpose besides the fact they needed to take a picture for the media.

Theo and his group then returned to their car before getting stopped by Nella.

Nella, once again, came to Theo with a serious expression. ”Since you want it that way, I will talk about the family after the competition.”

”That's probably the best. I am not interested in my family that much, but it doesn't hurt to know your origin.” Theo nodded in agreement.

Nella smiled and nodded. ”In that case, I am looking forward to our meeting in the semifinal. I hope you can win the first round.”

”Well, I happen to have one question.”

”Sure. I will do my best to answer your question.”

”Then, can you explain how your power works? Is it really the combination of Soft Control and Force Control?”

Nella and Theo's teammates widened their eyes, staring at him dumbfoundedly. They never thought Theo would be this shameless. It was the same as him asking her weakness from her own mouth to defeat her.

Nella chuckled and said, ”You truly don't hold back, don't you? Well, I can show or even give you some tricks about my power and how to master it, but that can only happen after the competition. As of now, I will only answer that small question. Yes, it's the combination of Soft and Force Control. They are both like medicine, each dosage will result in a different effect. That's all I can say.”

This time, Theo was the one who couldn't believe Nella truly answered his question.

”That's all. I should return to my hotel right now.” Before leaving, Nella hugged Theo once again with so much feeling while saying with a sad tone, ”Cousin, you've endured so much hardship in Thersland. It may not be enough, but let this hug be the one that fills the emptiness you needed to endure for more than a decade.”

”…” Theo fell silent as he looked at Nella. She seemed to have looked into his background and felt sad about his past. He didn't know how to react since the family he despised actually showed such care. Even so, his expression remained indifferent.

Nella then released him and smiled, ”Then, I will be going. If you don't have anywhere to go, you should come to my place. I can provide you better than them.”

Theo had no words to say, but he still nodded his head.

Nella walked away while waving her hand.

Alea and the others stared at her in disbelief, recalling what happened during their first meeting. The girl was incomparably cold to others, yet, they found nothing like that during this meeting.

Meanwhile, Theo had mixed feelings about this.

On one hand, he felt Nella showed her honest feelings. On the other hand, without his own parents or brother confirming that relationship, he had no way to trust her completely.

Still, his peace was disturbed by another group that came to introduce themselves as they were their first opponents.

It was Enrica and her teammates.

”Hello, this is our first official meeting, I believe.” Enrica smiled at Theo and Alea. ”We come to introduce ourselves a bit.”
