Although they continuously spit on each other, Bernard and Leonardo somehow came to Theo's house together.
They were glaring or looking away most of the time, but since their destination was the same, they used Bernard's car to go all the way to Theo's house.
However, they soon got the shock of their life when they arrived.
Leonardo was the first to recognize this power and Bernard's bodyguard followed suit.
"This fluctuation of Magic Power…" Leonardo furrowed his eyebrows while staring in a certain direction, which turned out to be Theo's house.
Bernard's bodyguard whispered something to him as well before Bernard felt it himself.
"Sir—" Agata tried to call Leonardo, but the latter waved his hand, asking her not to say anything. After that, he increased his pace while concealing his presence.
"…" Agata furrowed her eyebrows when she could somehow see Leonardo but felt her eyes misleading her. "High-level Awareness…"
Bernard also did the same and matched Leonardo's pace. Surprisingly, Bernard managed to replicate what Leonardo did despite being a Supreme Rank Expert.
"Eh?" Agata opened her mouth in surprise.
"Hehe," Maya made a smug smile as she explained, "My father is a sniper and just a few levels away from Mythical Rank. That's why he can match the War Saint's Awareness in concealing his presence."
Agata glanced at her for a moment, maintaining her silence. After a while, she looked away, not saying anything to her.
Maya raised her eyebrows, never expecting Agata to ignore her.
When they arrived in front of Theo's fence, they slightly raised their body with their Magic Power, allowing them to take a peek of the inside.
To their surprise, Theo was meditating next to the pool.
His blue hair was swaying left and right because of the wind. He wore a white t-shirt and pants.
Still, the one that shocked them the most was the blue spear on top of his head.
The spear didn't have joints to separate the handle and the blade. However, it managed to form the basic spear form.
At the same time, unlike Theo's small spear he used a few weeks ago, this one was a full-blown spear, meaning Theo could use it himself.
Leonardo and Bernard dropped their jaws to the ground before exchanging looks.
They clearly remembered Theo's performance back in the competition. It was truly his most powerful strength.
At that time, Theo barely learned Force Control and he still impressed them, especially when he countered Nella's Control. Although they knew the Telekinesis helped him, it was still amazing nonetheless.
And within six months, Theo managed to reach Master Level Control with Materialization at this level. There was no way it didn't shock them.
Both of them remembered Theo's father, Ray Griffith's talent. It was said he had the highest talent of Control in the present world. That was also why the Griffith Family would do everything to make him their pawns, even if they needed to use Theo.
But they now understood why Ray tried to hide Theo's talent to the point he needed to suppress it. Theo's talent far surpassed Ray's.
However, Leonardo soon remembered Ray once toured around the world and talked to all Masters he could find, asking them about their Five Aspects. He used the favors they owed to create a book.
'This child… Is his talent surpassing that of a monster? He can wield all Five Aspects at once?' Leonardo muttered in his heart before sucking a cold breath, coming to a realization of how dangerous Theo's talent was. And if Valerie brought the child to him, he wouldn't be able to stop teaching him so as to not waste his talent.
For him, there were four plans that could hide this child. First, he would throw the child to an assassin or mercenary organization, hiding him in the cruelest place possible. With Theo's talent, he could grow into a monster sooner or later.
The second plan was to wreak havoc on the Griffith Family to the point he could destroy it or change its very foundation. As for the third plan, he would send Theo to a superpower country and ask them to take care of the child even if they needed to use the entire military to stop the Griffith Family.
Last but not least, he might want to throw him to the other side, making him think he had been living in that place since he was born. Humanity only managed to explore a small portion of the other side, so he could go deeper and build some facilities before releasing Theo to this world.
Leonardo closed his eyes and shook his child, knowing Valerie had chosen the second plan. Still, he wondered why Valerie didn't select the last plan.
He thought, 'If she didn't have money, couldn't she just go to this Greedy Moneybags and get a loan from him? She could betroth Theo to Maya in exchange for his talents. He can live more comfortably this way. If her status wasn't enough to meet this guy, she could rely on me… Or does she have any other thoughts about her plan?
'Although he couldn't meet other people, they could still live together and when Theo is strong enough, everything will be settled. To be honest, this is the plan I would most likely choose.'
He had many thoughts in his mind, but seeing the blue spear floating above his head, Leonardo couldn't help but get sentimental.
No matter what, Theo was indeed Ray and Valerie's child. His talent in Control came from Ray and his brain derived from Valerie.
On top of that, the spear he summoned was similar to the early version of Valerie's God Killing Spear.
He saw Valerie's shadow in him.
Meanwhile, Bernard didn't know what Leonardo was thinking. All he knew was the spear reminded him of the famous God Killing Spear.
'Still…' Bernard sucked a cold breath while muttering inwardly, 'This kid can reach this level within half a year? I have seen the video of his fight, especially the one with Maya. He hasn't reached this level yet… To think a month or so can let him advance from Practitioner Level Control to Master Level. I have underestimated his talent.'
Bernard and Leonardo exchanged looks as they seemed to realize their offers were still too low and retreated for a while to reconsider.
