Chapter 718: Killing Theo
The following month proceeded like usual. Those who aimed for Theo’s life had finished all their preparations and moved toward Russia.
The Wind Emperor had come to the public again, showing himself. He just wanted to warn whoever aimed at Theo’s life would need to face him first.
Obviously, not many people dared to fight this old monster, considering his power had been recorded in many people’s minds.
Some of them actually backed down, especially after Russia had reinforced their border, supporting the Wind Emperor.
Russia.
Inside a building, there was a group of people facing each other. They had come to this place for one thing.
“We need to kill Theodore Griffith regardless of the cost.” One of them started while slamming the table.
“We know that already. However, it’s not that easy to assassinate him. The Wind Emperor has been inside his mansion all the time, but I believe he’s plotting something.” Another one added in agreement.
“That’s right. The Wind Emperor actually visited the Empress before he went to Italy. There must be something going on here.”
“Is the Empress actually the one who has been plotting this?”
“We can’t afford to fight those two monsters head-on.”
“But why does the Empress…”
“Obviously, it’s for her students. According to my information, Alea Eilric is one of Theodore’s former teammates who have hots on him. I believe she’s trying to set both of them up.”
“We have confirmed that this is a collaboration between the Wind Emperor and the Empress. And we have agreed that we will divide our people into three groups.”
“That’s right. I’m in the first group. I will try to redirect the Wind Emperor’s attention, making sure he wouldn’t help Theodore Griffith escape. After that, we will simply pull back.”
“Then, the second group will grab the Empress’ attention. Make sure she doesn’t have the time to help Theodore Griffith as well. According to our information, Theodore Griffith won’t be coming with helpers, so as long as we can divert these two monsters, we will be able to take his life.”
“The third group will kill him, but be careful because this might be one of his deceptions. So, watch out for more Mythical Rank Experts hiding behind him.”
“How about other people’s lives? Alea Eilric might be involved in this matter. We certainly don’t want a direct clash with the Empress and add more enemies.”
“True. I am afraid the Czar will also bring out their younger generations.”
“If both of them get angry, even if we manage to assassinate Theodore Griffith, our situation wouldn’t improve.”
“We won’t kill them. The limit of what we can do is… knock them unconscious and send them back. We can’t harm them for now to avoid making the Wind Emperor and the Empress our enemies.”
“That’s right. My company has been in a mess, so their statement alone is enough to destroy my company.”
“That’s all. We have three missions in this place. First, we’re going to assassinate Theodore Griffith. Second, kidnap whoever comes with him, including his assistant. So, if the first mission is hard to do, we have someone that can make him come out.
“Third, we’ll avoid any direct confrontation with the Czar and the Palace. We’ll just kill Theodore Griffith and immediately flee this place, okay?”
“But where do we attack him?”
“That’s right. There are three main gates where he can go to the other side. Each of them is heavily guarded.”
“We have stationed a few people on the other side already. So, there’s no need for you to make a fuss about them. If Theodore Griffith appears there, they will notify us and attack him. If it’s not enough, we will make our move and deal with him ourselves.
“That’s the main plan. However, we have no guarantee that Theodore Griffith will go there. So, we have three main targets this time.
“First, it’s the Wind Emperor’s mansion. We know that it will be hard to deal with the Wind Emperor, but at the same time, they won’t realize we will attack him there. First, we’re going to have Theodore move to a random place in the mansion.
“Because Supreme Rank Experts and Mythical Rank Experts are so easy to differentiate, we will use fifteen elite assassins. They will certainly do their job even if they need to die. At the same time, their strength is only Hero Rank, close to the Supreme Rank.
“They need to end the entire thing within one to two minutes before the Wind Emperor notices something is going on.
“The second location will be the road between the Empress Palace and the Wind Emperor’s Mansion. We will set up an ambush there and create chaos as much as possible before ultimately killing him. Of course, if it’s possible, we prefer to do it silently. We can’t afford to piss the country off after all.
“The third location will be any random place he visits. We will have several agents to keep monitoring his situation and location. As soon as we find a perfect spot to kill him, we will send him there.”
“That’s a good idea. However, it’s going to be hard because we need to rely on those assassins in the first place.”
“Either way, these are our only options in the current situation. We can’t let Theodore Griffith grow anymore because he will be a threat to us.”
“That’s right.”
They finally agreed on something as they nodded their heads.
…
Meanwhile, in Theo’s mansion, Agata had finally confronted him again.
Their departure was in two days, so this was the perfect time to test the answer she had gotten from him.
“So, do you have an answer?” Theo smirked.
“Yes. Although I don’t want to believe it, I think I have the answer.”
“How do you feel about the answer?”
“I…” Agata looked down. “I just want to be sure. Are you sure about this?”
“Yeah.” Theo smiled, confirming her worry without hesitation.
“I don’t know what to say anymore. To think you would ask the Wind Emperor for all this…” Agata let out a long sigh.
“Haha…” Theo chuckled. “Are you ready to go there then?”
