Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Aftermath

The next day.

Everything had become calmer after knowing that the Safulli Group had been completely stopped. Their Mythical Rank Experts wouldn’t be able to terrorize the citizens, making them feel relieved.

It was at this time that the influences started taking over the Safulli Group’s Businesses. Even though they were taking advantage of the situation, this was better than the Safulli Group.

After all, the Safulli Group had indeed committed the biggest crime they could ever imagine that had the potential to affect the entire country.

As for the Pata Corporation, Boris immediately started his restoration process and recalled their past employees that quit because they couldn’t handle the pressure from the media.

As Theo said, they were just innocent people who got involved in this feud, so the least Boris could do was to make sure they had a job to feed their family. And if they wanted to rejoin the Pata Corporation, Boris allowed them since the Pata Corporation’s reputation had become far better in the public’s eyes.

Still, even though those innocent people could restore their previous life, there were still some who didn’t get any mercy from Boris.

And it was especially true for the old man that betrayed him at the last minute.

The old man stormed Boris’ office with a smile on his face.

“Oh, Boris. I am glad that you managed to take care of this situation. I am here to resolve the misunderstandings between us. I actually thought that you…”

While the old man explained himself, Boris was thinking, ‘How shameless can you be to do something like this? Maybe his shamelessness surpasses Theo’s great mind. Still…’

Without hesitation, Boris said with a serious face. “You were right. I am not as sharp as my father, so there’s no reason for you to follow me anymore. I don’t want to tarnish my father’s reputation in front of you.”

The old man trembled for a split second and still maintained his smile. “No, no. That’s just a misunderstanding. I—!”

Before he could finish, Boris already let out a long sigh. “Old man, I don’t know that you’re this shameless. Well, since that’s the case, I will try to say this as bluntly as possible, so there won’t be any misunderstanding between us anymore.”

He raised his middle finger and shouted, “Fuck off!”

Those two words stunned the old man as he was bewildered that Boris didn’t care about talking politely anymore. He wanted to step forward, but Boris released his power, pressuring him.

“I told you to fuck off! I’m sure that you are not senile enough not to hear me, right? Or do you need me to make you not able to hear again?” Boris glared at him as he pushed the old man back with his Magic Power before eventually, the security came to escort the old man out.

After that, his assistant came to him with the two loyal investors that never betrayed him.

“Thank you for you two. If not because of you supporting me to the very end, I wouldn’t be able to win.” Boris smiled.

“President, if you knew that Theo was supporting you, you should tell us. We wouldn’t have to panic.” One of them scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.

“Well, I didn’t want the enemy to know it.” Boris shrugged. “The company will be undergoing a massive restructuring, so I would like to ask for your help.”

“Don’t worry, President. We will help you as much as possible.” The two nodded in agreement.

“By the way, what should we do with our former investors?” His assistant asked.

“I will send you a few names that are considered to be innocent here. As for the rest…” He raised his middle finger again. “Just tell them to fuck off. Can’t I just record a video of me pointing my middle finger and tell them to fuck off? That will be satisfying.”

“President, it’s better if you watch your image. Now that our reputation is better than ever, you need to make sure you don’t ruin it.” The assistant stated with a serious expression.

“Hahaha. I know, I know. Just let me do whatever I want for today. It’s been a stressful two weeks.”

“Indeed.”

…

While they were talking to each other, Theo had returned to his mansion and met his grandfather and Agata.

“Well, well… What do we have here? The hero has returned, eh?” Leonardo smirked, teasing him.

“What Hero? I didn’t do much. They were the ones who made everything this big.” Theo shrugged.

“Indeed. Maybe I shouldn’t teach you how to do something like this…”

“Ahaha, please don’t say that. I am here to learn everything from you.” Theo shook his head.

“Yeah, yeah. You will become dangerous enough sooner or later to the point they see you not as a powerful expert but as a shrewd mastermind.” Leonardo sighed. “Anyway, I will fend off all the outside attacks as long as you’re in Italy.”

“Thank you.” Theo smiled. “Still, the most dangerous one is not me. It’s you.”

“Hehe, you realized it?”

“It took a while, but it seemed you had predicted that I would hear the situation about Lorenzo and the Safulli Group in one way or another. In fact, you must already have some suspicions that the culprit of that Goblin Gene Experiment was the Safulli Group.

“Wasn’t that why you told the World Class Monster that you were going to resolve this problem within a year? You predicted that I would make my move…” Theo sighed.

“Hahaha, I taught you everything you know, not everything I know.” Leonardo playfully stuck his tongue out. “Though, I admit that I didn’t expect the situation to resolve this way. I should have realized that you wouldn’t settle everything in the shadows.

“I’m sure that the Czar will feel glad that they didn’t mess with you for a big time. From what I heard, he didn’t harm you in any kind, so yeah… If that guy tried to kill you, I’m sure that they’re going to get wrecked. Haha.”

“Who knows.” Theo shrugged and scratched the back of his head. “Also, about our bet…”

“I will call it off but in one condition.”

“What is it?”

“Call me Grandfather once. I demand this as compensation.” Leonardo smirked.

“…” Theo closed his eyes for a moment and sighed. “Okay, Grandfather.”

“Hmm, not sincere enough, but since I forced you, I will accept it for now.” Leonardo patted his head and played with his hair a bit as he made a big smile. “I will be waiting for the day you call me Grandfather from the bottom of your heart. Hahaha!”

Theo looked down as a small smile appeared on his face.
