"Alright. This should be enough." Theo muttered while looking at a humble house next to the water. Since Agata wasn't here to give some input about their house, Theo didn't make it too big since this was temporary.
He could remake the house anytime he liked, so he wasn't concerned about the size as long as it was comfortable enough to live in.
Theo also kept killing the monsters in the area since he had promised to take back Kentucky.
People began to hear about the rumor of Theo taking back Kentucky, raising his prestige among the people.
He was also the person behind the system of the union, which succeeded in stabilizing their own at a rapid rate. So, it was clear if they migrated to this place, they would be able to get Theo's protection.
After all, knowing there was a famous figure like Theo, whose strength was unparalleled, was enough to know that the place would be safe.
Just like the new capital, the land's price would soar. So, people were staring at this place, especially the area near Theo's location or the military base.
Meanwhile, Theo just let Maya do her job.
After making a small space for her in the base, Maya returned to take care of the business development of the state, especially the defense, since Theo planned to build several heavy weapons for the protection of this place.
With the help of Theo, the military also began their expansion. They received instruction from Rea, making both groups synchronize their movements.
Of course, there was also another big matter that Theo planned to do.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter getting all the data from the flight, Maya informed Theo that the plane was ready to take off again. And this time, the destination was United Asia.
It had been two months since the last flight, so Theo was happy to hear the news.
As soon as he knew the plane was ready to take off, he came out of his house.
Rea seemed to have heard about it as well because she was waiting for him outside his house.
"Oh, Rea. Are you going as well?" Theo smiled. He could understand if Rea wanted to go home since her family must want to see her after everything happened.
Rea maintained her calm expression and stated, "We have made big progress in the last two months. With the help of the military, we have conquered at least thirty percent of Kentucky. If we can continue at this rate, it'll only take another six months before Kentucky can perform as if nothing happened.
"The business development is in Maya's hands, but for now, the progress is rapid, and I think we will be able to fulfill our agreement sooner than our original target.
"There is nothing big that will happen for a week or so, considering Felix and Ruth had begun to hunt monsters again after getting some rest in the previous week."
Rea looked like she was giving Theo the report about their situation, but Theo noticed the hidden meaning behind this report. Rea was simply telling him that everything would be fine even if they were not here, so there was no reason that could keep her away from going with him.
Theo chuckled and said, "You should be more honest with yourself. Is it because you've become my disciple that you are like this?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Rea played dumb while looking away.
"Haha." Theo patted her shoulders and said, "Go back and pack your—"
"I've prepared everything, including our lunch." Rea pointed at the bag not far from them.
Theo opened his mouth again, wanting to add something, but Rea took out the Skylink and showed him a document. "All the necessary documents have been taken care of."
Theo couldn't help but smile because Rea had become even more reliable. In fact, she was perfect to the point he became speechless.
"I guess we can go now." Theo chuckled. "Felix is to take command in my absence. Akbar will assist him as the deputy. For now, continue with our development and immediately inform me if they encounter a problem."
"Understood." Rea immediately took care of the matter before bringing her bags so that they could go straight to Maya to discuss their trip to United Asia.
Theo also brought some clothes before leaving the base.
On the way, Theo glanced at Maya, whose power seemed to have become more refined.
In fact, they had been flying this whole time due to Maya summoning a dragon from her sword.
"How is your power?" Theo asked.
"Yes, I can say that it's more refined. Though, I can't be compared to Teacher, who has mastered Awareness, Control, and Technique. If I'm not wrong, your Endurance is close to Inhuman Physique, right?"
"Yeah."
"As expected from you, Teacher. You are probably the first person to master four of the Five Aspects. And your achievement in breathing is quite high as well."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"This power is necessary for what's going to come. But well, enough about me. This time, you're going with me to United Asia. It's time to flex in front of your father."
"Flex? How can I be so rude?"
"Is it rude if your father likes it?"
"…"
"Ehm, I won't disappoint you at the very least."
"Good enough." Theo chuckled. "So, how close are you right now?"
"Hmm… If I have to make a comparison, it feels like I'm right in front of the door, trying to open it. However, I need a bit more time to find a way to open this door."
"Sorry, but I won't be helping you in this last step. You have to take the leap yourself."
"I understand."
"Though, I can give you a little hint. When you flex to your father, you should show everything."
"Show everything?" Rea was confused for a moment before gasping. "Are you telling me…"
"Yep. Make sure you do that." Theo chuckled.
"The flex that shows everything… Father won't like it if I just show him everything like a performer. That's why the flex this time won't be a performance, but a spar…" Rea muttered as if preparing herself to fight her father.
