Chapter 373: Movement Part 3 (1/2)

Meanwhile, Nella punched forward, creating a small shock wave that blew everything in front of her.

There was even a fan-shaped trail on the ground, showing she had been doing this for a while.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with blue-colored hair came to their garden, asking, ”I think you have practiced enough for today…”

Nella glanced at him as her expression turned serious. ”Now that I think about it, isn't it the time for other countries to start making their move? Father, I want to learn about Theo's parents. Who are they? Seeing the record alone already tells me that they are not weak. They are among the top fighters, right?”

”…” The middle-aged man closed his eyes and looked away. ”It's not the time yet. Just wait for another few months and you will know about them.”

”You always told me the same answer. If I don't have enough information, I can't choose my life choice, you know.”

”You will be informed after your 18th birthday.” He still refused to answer.

Nella frowned and said, ”Still, with them being one of the strongest, I doubt the family can do anything to Theo for a while. I don't see the reason why they chose to fake their suicide…”

”That's enough. You shouldn't pry anything about his life anymore.”

”So, you didn't deny my claim about their strength.” Nella smirked and glanced at him. ”If they are among the strongest, they should meet him…”

”You now started playing tricks with your father.” The middle-aged man sighed while shaking his head helplessly. He extended his hand to grab Nella, bringing her forcefully inside.

However, Nella quickly took a step back and planned to avoid him, but her body suddenly moved toward him as if an invisible string pulled her into her father's hand.

In the end, her father's hand circled around her stomach as he carried her inside. ”I need to punish a bad girl.”

”I'm almost 18 years old!”

”Even if you are 50 years old, you will always still be a little girl in my eyes.” He smiled as they returned to the house.

…

Unlike her conversation, Shibuya Mami certainly didn't have such a relaxed conversation, especially with the guy who always puts on a serious face, Laust Lange.

”So, what do you think about it?” asked Mami while pouring tea for him and her.

”What?” Laust furrowed his eyebrows.

”I'm sure you already know this, but this is the time for the countries to start making their move. And this wave will surely shake Thersland, let alone the epicenter of this entire problem, Theodore Griffith.”

Laust shook his head. ”I don't really care. I will settle everything after I have gained enough strength. As long as I haven't reached the Supreme Rank, I won't think much about what's happening there.”

”Haha, you're no fun.” Mami chuckled.

”Then, why are you laughing?”

”The fact that you are not fun is a joke in my eyes.” Mami laughed. ”Anyway, I can promise you. You can reach the Supreme Rank within three years. Of course, the speed will depend on your Original Technique. The sooner you create one, the faster you can reach Supreme Rank.”

Laust quickly rose from the floor, not even glancing at the tea that Mami poured. He just turned around and walked away.
