In Theoâs mansion.
Theo was sitting in the garden with Leonardo standing in front of him.
âSo, what do you think about meeting him?â Leonardo smirked, asking.
âThereâs nothing wrong with that.â Theo shook his head. âI am afraid the situation is going to be complicated soon. Besides, I need to think of a way to finish my international assignment.â
âHaha, I bet there is already a bounty on your head.â Leonardo chuckled.
âIs that supposed to be funny?â Theoâs eyebrows twitched before looking at Agata, asking the same question.
âItâs not funny, but thatâs not what he means.â Agata shook her head helplessly.
âThatâs right.â Leonardo raised his finger, pointing at his head. âI had one in the past. What was my last bounty again? Something around 200 Billion Zils? Yeah, itâs something like that I guess.
âThe one that put this kind of bounty was a group of powerful companies. They put all their money into this just to kill me.
âIn the end, I killed the people who were after me and forced them to retract the bounty by destroying the force of all people involved, including the killers.
âThey were too scared of me now to the point they would hide if I set my eyes on them.
âI guess this is something you should strive for⦠No one knows about this, but you will find many peopleâs bounties, especially those who are important or strong.
âOne of the former top five experts in the world once had a bounty on her head. And she destroyed everything with her prowess and had her bounty removed because she would aggressively pursue those who dared to put the bounty.
âAlthough she died because of her injuries, there was no more bounty in her head at that time and she passed away in her house.
âMeanwhile, I caused a quite big disruption that forced them to do so.
âWhat I want to say is, there are multiple ways to make them retract your bounty. What you should do first is to increase your bounty as much as possible before pressuring the whole world to make sure no one puts a bounty on your head again.â Leonardo smirked.
âWell, thatâs not going to happen in the next ten years.â Theo shrugged. âBesides, youâre missing the point here.â
âAh, about that old man? Heâs strong.â
âStronger than you?â
âWhat do you think?â Leonardo smirked.
Theo shrugged and said, âI donât know your full strength, so I canât say. Besides, ranking is not that accurate in a battle.â
âThatâs true. Why donât you ask him?â Leonardo pointed at the gate that suddenly opened.
Davi was pushing a wheelchair for an old man. Despite appearing to be weak, Ava jumped on Theoâs shoulder as if she could feel the power of the old man and tried to protect him.
âHaha, you should know my answer.â The old man chuckled.
âYeah, because youâre shameless.â Leonardo rolled his eyes.
The old man ignored Leonardoâs remark as he focused only on one person. It was Theo.
Their eyes intertwined as Theo felt an overbearing pressure emanating from his eyes.
The pressure increased drastically when killing intent started mixing with the air.
âWhat is this?â Agata took a step back as she couldnât help but smell something. âThis is blood?â
Theo gritted his teeth and saw Leonardo remain still. He took a deep breath and released his killing intent as well.
But instead of spreading it like the Wind Emperor, he focused it on one spot until it reached the Wind Emperor.
ââ¦â The Wind Emperor could feel it, but it was too weak for him to be affected. Even so, he couldnât help but smile and say, âNo wonder why I suffered in your hand. Interesting.â
The killing intent instantly disappeared as if nothing happened. The blood smell also vanished from the air.
âSo, your hobby is bullying a kid now?â Leonardo narrowed his eyes.
âHaha, I imprisoned my grandson not long ago, what do you think?â The Wind Emperor glanced at Leonardo. Although he didnât express it, Leonardo knew he didnât like it.
So, he looked away while saying, âItâs just a battle between youngsters.â
âIndeed. I am ashamed that my youngsters canât even be compared to your young generations.â The Wind Emperor sighed and continued, âThough, the worst part is that he didnât have any training before he was in high school. This kind of progress, even I envy it.â
âYouâre already that old.â Leonardo stuck his tongue.
âIndeed. Thatâs why I donât like moving around anymore. So, to prevent me from moving around, how about you come with me to Russia? You wonât go hungry and have many mistresses.â The Wind Emperor smiled, glancing at Theo.
âI think you asked the wrong question.â Leonardo smirked.
âI know. I am just asking⦠Though, Iâm pretty serious about that. Even if you want both the Empressâ daughter and disciple at the same time, I can make that happen.â The Wind Emperor chuckled.
âIâm thankful for the offer, but I respectfully decline.â Theo shook his head politely. âMy objective is not a romantic relationship for the time being.â
âReally?â The Wind Emperor glanced at Agata. âSo, Mimicry Skill? Now that I have confirmed it. Let me guess. Agata Mota?â
Agata, although shocked, didnât react. She simply said, âI am honored if the Wind Emperor thinks of me as the revered Agata Mota. Unfortunately, I need to disappoint Sir Wind Emperor.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHaha, whatever. I donât really care about this.â The Wind Emperor looked at Theo. âYouâre strong, shrewd, and unruly. Though, there is one thing you lack right now.â
âSomething I lack?â
âYeah. Because of your age and time of training, you havenât polished all your techniques. If you come to Russia, you might be able to learn something like this.â The Wind Emperor lifted his right hand.
ââ¦â Leonardo furrowed his eyebrows and summoned his sword, preparing to make his move.
Theo, on the other hand, didnât even move, knowing that he couldnât do anything to the Wind Emperor if even Leonardo couldnât stop him.
Suddenly, the Wind Emperor pushed his hand forward as the wind started moving violently.
