Chapter 593: Trust (1/2)

”Are you freaking kidding me?” Theo snapped. ”A level 600 monster with the strength of a level 700? And he's a General Class on top of that? If we're fighting this creature, we will be wiped out. I don't think Loris can handle this monster. According to the information, Loris is only a level 634 Magic Warrior.

”I have confidence that Loris can fight a level 700 monster, but it should be a Normal Class monster, not a General Class. Such an opponent can only be brought down by someone at the same level or a Mythical Rank Expert… And this is my first mission.”

Theo facepalmed and shook his head helplessly. ”Should I postpone the idea of going to the goblin settlement? In that case, how are they gonna react? The Holy Knight Order wants to finish the entire mission in two days, so I don't think it's possible to postpone the mission.

”In that case, I should tell them about this. But this also makes me a potential target because they know I've been here. Well, who can I trust?” Theo clicked his tongue. ”It's not like I can suddenly abandon this mission. And if there's a survivor, I will be fucked up.”

He seriously had no idea how to finish this mission safely.

After a while, Theo shook his head and muttered, ”I should continue searching first to get more evidence.”

As Clone Theo continued his investigation, the real Theo was sitting next to Ava, Agata, and Enrica.

Theo sighed and glanced at Agata and Enrica. ”Actually, I want to ask the two of you one question. How much do you trust me in this mission?”

Agata and Enrica were startled by his random question.

”Ehm, what?” Agata tilted her head in confusion. ”I must have heard the wrong question.”

”That's the question. I hope I can get an answer from you two.”

Agata looked down for a moment and answered with a genuine expression. ”To be honest, although I'm interested in you, I can't say I fully trust you yet. However, if we use numbers here, I guess it's around eighty percent.”

Enrica rubbed her cheeks gently and said, ”Close to fifty percent, I guess? I don't plan to follow your decision unless I know the reason. If it's logical, of course, I will, without hesitation.”

”…” Theo clicked his tongue and said, ”If I say I don't want to continue this mission, will you go back with me?”

”The reason?” Agata asked.

”I can't say.”

”No.” Enrica shook her head.

”I will…” Agata answered with a hesitant tone.

Seeing the two had different answers, Theo realized what would happen after this.

”Is there something troubling you, Theo? This is not like you at all.” Agata was worried.

”I just feel like all hobgoblins are stronger than usual even though the normal goblins are not. It bothers me.” Theo sighed. ”You should know that the main settlement should have several times the number of the villages we have visited until now, right?”
