"Theodore Griffith is opening the service to upgrade one's skill for a week."
"Theodore Griffith is actually Richard from the union?"
"Because he couldn't show himself due to him being targeted, he became Richard and wanted to help the union?"
"The union killed Richard, who wanted to help them?"
"How many times has the union tried to kill Theodore Griffith?"
There were many news and conspiracy theories appearing as soon as the Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint announced this service.
'To repay United Asia's kindness for protecting his fiancee, Theo was planning to increase the power of this base as a whole.'
This was the declaration that stunned United Asia. There were a lot of people who immediately inquired about this news, causing a global sensation.
This information created chaos in the union as well as the British Royal Family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"This is…" The prince furrowed his eyebrows, never expecting Richard to be Theo's clone. He felt betrayed because he thought of Richard as his own family.
At the same time, he could understand Theo's thoughts a bit. On the one hand, Theodore Griffith was the target of the Griffith Family. He couldn't show himself in the open, yet, he still did it in the form of Richard to help the union.
On the other hand, Theo had to create a persona and lie about his real identity, causing them to feel betrayed. Still, Theo didn't do any harm to the royal family. In fact, he helped them stabilize their power in the union.
Although the power balance had changed with Flora being the sole leader and the War God Family becoming the one controlling the development. The royal family had a significant power that wouldn't lose to any other influences other than those two.
In the end, the prince could only sigh and accept everything. Even the public believed that Theo just wanted to do something good, not to lie to the royal family, considering he ended up getting killed again by the Griffith Family.
Meanwhile, Maya also announced that Theo would be planning to do the same for the US base at a later date. This created some expectations for the people, especially since they had time to gather Skill Cards.
In the end, Theo was quite busy helping people. He was also well-received because he wasn't supposed to help them.
They might shelter Agata, but the Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint were the ones doing it. Agata even helped the military in stabilizing and expanding after the apocalypse, so Theo truly owed nothing.
That was why they considered this as Theo's kindness and sang praises to his name. The Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint also received their own share of benefits.
Agata was helping Theo in managing the excited people while Ryo and Ergene became his bodyguards. They weren't protecting Theo, of course, since Theo was far stronger than anyone that came to receive his help. They were protecting the people from Theo.
The one who got troubled by Theo's arrival was actually the Heavenly Sovereign, considering Agata was ready to step down from her position.
Zhao Jia had been keeping the Heavenly Sovereign in check, ensuring he wasn't slacking.
While signing the documents, Zhao Jia couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask you something?"
"Mhm? What is it?" The Heavenly Sovereign glanced at her, obviously wanting to talk instead of working.
Zhao Jia hesitated for a moment. "How much do you know about this?"
"Which one are you talking about? Theo's arrival? His ability? Or…"
"Everything."
"Hmm… This is the first time I've heard Theo has this ability. So, a few days ago, when he asked me to prepare for Skill Cards? Other than that, I don't think I know anything about his thoughts. That man is truly unpredictable, and I don't like speculating about him at all, knowing I might make a huge blunder from the conclusion.
"Instead of predicting what he's going to do, it's better if you prepare everything, hoping that what you prepare might work against him… Well, that is if you are his enemy." The Heavenly Sovereign shrugged.
"You have a high opinion of him from the start."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I do. There is no way someone that young could achieve all this without a unique power. No, I should have known he has this ability, considering he always summons his clone that keeps improving… Jeez, this guy." The Heavenly Sovereign shook his head helplessly.
Zhao Jia stared at him for a moment before going back to work.
The Heavenly Sovereign smiled, looking at Zhao Jia. He had already grown accustomed to this side of her to the point he considered it as her cute side.
Even though Zhao Jia looked like she was sulking, she was actually improving herself from all that information. That was why if he passed away in the future, he didn't mind, knowing Zhao Jia would take his mantle.
The Heavenly Sovereign closed his eyes for a moment while muttering, "The land, the sky, and the sea… The battle between the three of them is currently at a stalemate.
"No one knows the outcome of this battle. One wrong move might cause the entire planet to be destroyed.
"That's why this world needs a savior. Despite being claimed by people, the throne of the sea and the land are still empty while the sky has found its successor. If the land and the sea can't find their kings soon, humanity will be destroyed."
Zhao Jia paused for a moment. The Heavenly Sovereign often spoke nonsense that no one could understand. But he wasn't someone who said a meaningless thing.
There was a reason why he stated it, and that story gave a lot of information. Zhao Jia furrowed her eyebrows, trying to understand his words.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Sovereign scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm nothing in this grand scheme. It's just… I don't like being useless, so Zhao Jia… Remember this one thing. If something happens to me, don't ever think about having revenge. Even if you use the rest of your lifespan, you won't be able to do anything. Even I still can't see how high I have to climb…
"Just bury me in that peak so that I can watch over you in my favorite position." The Heavenly Sovereign smiled before going back to work.
