Chapter 543: Big Movements (1/2)
Theo's movements were important, but there were three big movements happening all around the world.
China.
Inside a large hall, ten people were sitting behind the round table, glaring at each other.
Suddenly, a white-haired middle-aged man slammed the table and shouted, ”We've been had.”
”Why did all of you agree to abandon that kid? Look at him right now!” Another one rose from his seat while berating their previous choice.
”He's the son of Ray Griffith and Valerie Guerrero. He has that talent of Control coming from his father and his brain from his mother. If we train that kid, he will be invincible.”
”That's right.”
”We can't do anything now because that War Saint is protecting him. Even the Star Group manages to make a good connection with him!”
They kept shouting at each other, blaming them for their own mistake.
…
Japan also had a similar situation as they all seemed to be blaming each other because they agreed to China's terms, only to find out that everything had been in Leonardo's hands instead of China's.
”What should we do right now?” A muscular old man asked with a serious expression, looking at all twenty people that joined the meeting. ”I am afraid he will become an even stronger foe because the moment he reaches Mythical Rank Expert, he may simply send his clone to us and wreak havoc.
”Even if we destroy his clone, he can send another one. As long as his main body is safe, I am afraid he's like a one-man undying army.”
”There's no proof that his clone can become that strong. Although his clone is indeed omnipotent now, he acquired the clone skill before his school competition. At that time, his clone shouldn't exceed D Rank… Even if we stretch it, it will only be a C Rank Skill.” Another man interjected, denying the possibility.
…
British's Royal Family seemed to have the same opinion.
The prince stated, ”For now, let's stop blaming each other. Instead, we should find a way to entice him back. If it's not possible, we will kill him.”
”But… It's not possible to kill him right now. The War Saint will certainly not let this happen, especially since Theodore Griffith has a copy of the contract with us. The War Saint will use it to mess with our economy.”
”Then we should search for a way to entice him.”
”How?”
”How about we increase the rank of his clone? We need to find someone who can increase a skill's rank.”
”Is there even a person like that?”
”It's going to be hard, but it's not impossible. I'm sure all of us know that in this world, there are people who can create artifacts, take a glimpse of the future, or even know one's fate. There must be someone like that. If we can offer him the chance to upgrade his clone's rank, we should be able to bring him to us.”
…
The same applied to Egypt and India. They were blaming each other for complying with such a request and ended up getting punished for their action. They were finding a way to settle this problem.
However, there was only one person who had a laugh among the defeated countries.
