Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Mutual Agreement

He fell silent for a moment and smiled. “I guess I’m indeed not enough.”

Davi and Agata dropped their jaws to the ground, not believing what they just heard. The Wind Emperor actually agreed that he wasn’t enough? If people heard this, they wouldn’t believe it either.

However, what they didn’t know was the fact he had perceived enough from Theo’s killing intent.

When he recalled the sensation, he felt Theo might have died a few times because he felt ‘Death’ was approaching him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

And unlike him, Theo’s killing intent would become even more powerful and refined sooner or later without any guidance.

If he could do it to multiple people at once, that would be even scarier.

So, he thought Theo had received something from God or Goddess of Death.

‘Is his blessing related to death? There are many conspiracies regarding this Death power and no wonder he’s hiding his true blessing. And I indeed won’t have the qualifications to teach him this… In fact, he might be aiming for that old hag, the one who received Thanatos’ blessing.’ He closed his eyes for a moment. ‘This is an interesting piece of information.’

Theo and The Wind Emperor were still staring at each other in silence.

Eventually, the Wind Emperor said, “Interesting indeed.”

“Even then, I would like to thank you for showing me such a thing. Though, I’m sure that you didn’t intend to do it.” Theo shook his head and sincerely thanked him.

“What if I claim I intended to do it?” The Wind Emperor smirked.

“Then you can think that way while I think my way.” Theo smiled.

“Are you not afraid of death?”

“Who is not afraid of death?” Theo shook his head while smiling. “You’re crazy if you’re not afraid of death.”

“Haha, indeed.” The Wind Emperor chuckled and sighed. “Even if they said they aren’t afraid of death, their heart and body would be honest in the face of it. Even if they had prepared for it, there was still the feeling of unwillingness or other things that can be perceived as afraid of death…”

Theo remained silent, wondering what the Wind Emperor truly wanted to say.

After a moment, the Wind Emperor said, “I have decided. I know that you don’t like coming to my country and settling down there. But I’m sure you’re alright with me asking you to come for the International Mission, right? I can promise you that I won’t touch you.”

Theo scratched the back of his head with a troubled expression.

“What? You have rejected my offer to become my disciple, and now you want to decline my invitation?” The Wind Emperor narrowed his eyes.

“Actually, I have another plan.” Theo scratched the back of his head.

“Hmm?” The Wind Emperor suddenly noticed Theo’s complexion and asked, “What’s the plan?”

Theo looked to the others before carefully walking to him.

Leonardo didn’t like this kind of action and tried to stop him, but Theo seemed to have come to an agreement with the Wind Emperor. In the end, he let him go while preparing to draw his sword.

Theo walked to him and whispered a few things.

The Wind Emperor’s eyes brightened as he thought for a moment. “In that case, I have one condition as well.”

“Please tell me.” Theo nodded.

“This is between me and you, not anyone else.” The Wind Emperor smirked.

Theo looked down for a moment, contemplating his decision. He ultimately nodded his head. “Deal.”

“Good. Since you agree, I won’t be stingy…” He pointed at his back and said, “Push me to the pool in this house.”

Surprisingly, Theo moved according to his instruction and immediately took over Davi’s job immediately.

“No one is allowed to watch.” The Wind Emperor waved his hand as if telling them to leave.

Theo smiled and nodded to Leonardo.

Leonardo hesitated for a moment before choosing to believe him.

In the end, Theo and the Wind Emperor moved to the pool alone.

Suddenly, the Wind Emperor raised his hand and formed a wind tornado before reshaping it to a cone shape.

“Haha, it’s time for me to kill you, Brat!” The Wind Emperor raised his hand as the wind suddenly locked Theo in the air and carried him to his hand until his neck was in the Wind Emperor’s hand. “I only need to kill you right now and everything will be over.”

Theo remained silent. He didn’t even let out his emotion as if he had accepted his fate.

Seeing there was no reaction from Theo, the Wind Emperor put him down and sighed. “You’re not fun. So, how can you tell?”

“I am simply confident that my words are enough to stop you.” Theo shook his head with a calm expression.

“Tsk. Smart-ass.” The Wind Emperor let out a long sigh. “You’re going to die sooner or later if you’re playing that way.”

“I know. I did this because I knew you’re different.”

“I’m different?” The Wind Emperor raised his eyebrows.

“Yes. I got the report about your activities as well. Your grandson and his father were locked up, the mansion was destroyed, and nothing remained in that place…” Theo stated the report of what happened not long ago. However, he also added, “But you didn’t do anything to the maids.

“There were various reasons why you should kill them, like silencing them or hiding the information of what happened there. That’s why I know that you’re someone just.”

“You’re overestimating me.” The Wind Emperor shook his head and said, “Anyway, I am truly intrigued by what you said earlier.”

“I didn’t lie to you.” Theo raised his hands as if he had given up.

“I know, you idiot.” The Wind Emperor smacked his head and said, “There’s a reason why I am called the Wind Emperor. No one can lie before me.”

“Hmm?”

“Unlike those lie detectors, my wind is more accurate. Your breathing will produce wind and I know if you’re lying or not from that wind alone.” The Wind Emperor shook his head. “I won’t speak about the details…”

He then raised his hand and said, “Help me get up.”

Theo hurriedly took his hand and carefully raised him up.

“I can’t use this thing anymore because it’s already hard for me to walk, so I will just show this to you.” The Wind Emperor looked at the pool and said, “This is the technique that I used to climb up the rank.

“From normal soldier to an elite soldier… a captain… a commander… a king… and lastly, an emperor.” The Wind Emperor looked forward and smiled, showing confidence in his technique. “I call this technique, Ascension Step.”
