Chapter 709 - Shocking News (1/2)
In France, specifically in the Barbe Group, they were holding a high-level meeting.
”What should we do about this? Our stock has taken a great hit and our reputation has fallen to rock bottom. If we continue like this, we will be destroyed sooner or later.” Someone rose from his seat and slammed the table, complaining.
”Luckily, there is not much evidence about us, making it easy for us to redirect the attention from us to the Safulli Group. But still, many people have lost their trust in us.” Another person assessed the situation before sighing.
”I thought we already asked the Safulli Group to burn all information about them…”
”All their members seemed to have died because of the Goblin King's rampage. After that, the Vatican saw that first and made a move, preventing anyone from sneaking in.
”All the people they brought should have been eliminated by the Goblin King and our men could erase the trace after that if not because of Theodore Griffith, who appeared and brought Leonardo, fending off the World Class Monster.
”If not because of his interference, Leonardo wouldn't know that place and gain all this. And we still didn't know why he didn't make a move until now.” He frowned.
”Enough!” A middle-aged guy slammed the table as he glared at them. ”We don't need to discuss something that has happened. What we need to think right now is how to eliminate that bastard, Theodore Griffith!”
”It's hard to do that, especially under Leonardo's watch. I don't know whether the pope will get involved or not.” Another guy raised his concern.
”I don't care. He needs to die after causing all this.”
”How about assassinating him when he was doing the away mission? If we can't infiltrate Italy, we should strike him in another country. No matter what, he will surely go there.”
”We need to increase our surveillance and make sure we get his next plan. We will hit him there.”
”There should be at least a month before he goes to the international mission. Prepare everything! We only have one chance.”
”Understood.”
They started preparing the plan to kill Theo. He was already that dangerous.
And this kind of movement didn't stop only here.
In China, they were also talking about Theo.
”What are you doing? What should we do now?”
”We don't know. How about someone go and apologize to him?”
”Do you think it's that easy? If he doesn't care about it, not only would it become an embarrassment, but other countries will also laugh at us.”
The conversation became pretty heated because they had finally confirmed Theo's talent. His Martial Prowess was indeed good and among the best, but that alone wasn't enough because there were still other geniuses that could match him.
However, when they combined Theo's Martial Prowess and his other talents, it had surpassed something they couldn't ignore anymore.
”Should we just kill him? That Barbe Group should be planning to do it, so why don't we support them?”
”We can't really show it on the surface because Leonardo will surely find out about this.”
”Well, why don't we just stop here? For me, I think it's best to leave him alone. There's no point in lighting up the previous flame again. After a while, we can simply mend our relationship.”
When these words entered their ears, the opinions split and the conversation continued.
Meanwhile, in England, the prince asked, ”So, any progress with our search?”
”We have found someone who can see slight future and someone who can see someone's strength based on their Magic Power, but that's all about it. We haven't found anyone who can upgrade one's skill.”
