BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1411 Adjourned
The moment he mentioned \'emergency,\' people\'s expressions lit up as they heard what Feng Hao had said earlier.
"Speak! What\'s the emergency?" Zhao Jia immediately shouted, trying to get all the information.
The man panted a few times before stating, "The Star Group, specifically Maya Hamilton, has ripped apart the contract with Joker."
"!!!" All of them were stunned. Zhao Jia knew such news would make it big, so she tried to see all the news about Theodore Griffith.
The news appeared in an instant as it became a trending topic.
In the news, Maya was attending the press and openly showed Theo\'s contract.
She said, "Joker has left the Star Group. So, this contract is now invalid."
Maya\'s message to the whole world was she didn\'t want to have any more relationships with Theodore Griffith. Back then, her father had helped Theo in the past and even fought against the Griffith Family in order to investigate Theo\'s death. It showed that he supported Theo and became his ally.
But Maya seemed to have a different stance from him. She ripped apart the contract to show that she didn\'t want to get entangled in Theo\'s business because the Star Group had just faced a hardship. So, she didn\'t want it to become unstable again.
No one knew that Maya ripped apart the contract simply because Joker would be no more, considering Theo would face all problems openly from now on. And he was her boss, so there was no need for a contract anymore.
All her actions were to act as if she wanted to protect the Star Group by showing the world that she had severed their relationship.
Zhao Jia sucked a cold breath and turned to Feng Hao, asking, "You… You know about this?"
"Why do you think I\'m a bit late to attend this meeting?" Feng Hao smirked. "Got last-minute information."
"Why did you not mention this from the start?" Zhao Jia gritted her teeth, understanding the complication of Maya\'s action.
The Star Group became the sole connection between Theo and the United States, so her severing that connection meant there was a chance to exploit.
If they abandoned Theo, one would think it was because of the Griffith Family. At the same time, Theo\'s potential made them rethink their decision because Theo and the Griffith Family seemed to be equal in status.
Feng Hao smirked and explained his thoughts. "First of all, the fact that they have severed the connection means he is now free. There\'s a possibility of mending the relationship and becoming his ally. This way, the status quo will change drastically.
"What will you do? Kill him or become his ally? That\'s the first question that you have to ask, a completely different question than the objective of this meeting.
"What do I think about killing Theodore Griffith? It\'s simple. It\'s close to impossible. There is one fact that you\'re missing. The fact that he is using the twin rings means he\'s the one buying it in the black market auction hosted by… what\'s their name again? Well, whatever. You got my point.
"But the testament of the people there, Theo has been a Mythical Rank Expert. Do you understand what this means? This means Theo has the ability to change his body\'s situation according to his will. If he wants to become a Hero Rank Expert, people will believe it since his body won\'t release Magic Power naturally.
"Don\'t forget that he is the master of illusion. He can change his face to the point the Death Reaper can\'t recognize him. It meant if he truly tried to live as a Hero Rank Expert or below, you wouldn\'t be able to find him. And the next thing we realize, there\'s someone at the same level as me causing ruckus here and there."
"…" The entire meeting hall fell silent. After listening to his explanation, they realized that they still underestimated Theo.
"So, you are assuming that we should mend the relationship with him, Feng Hao?" The president asked.
Feng Hao remained silent for a while, looking at him. Seeing the president\'s serious expression, Feng Hao said, "That\'s what this meeting has to decide. But I personally don\'t like the idea of chasing after him. If it\'s just someone like the Poison King and the like, I don\'t really mind killing him since I can easily find him. But he is different. This is why I don\'t like fighting against an illusionist."
The people sucked a cold breath. What kind of existence was Feng Hao? He was the second strongest person in the world. He was only ranked second because he never fought against the Time God, and he reached this level after him. No one knew which one was actually the best.
Yet, Feng Hao didn\'t want to kill Theo for all these reasons. It meant he had acknowledged Theo\'s power and potential.
Still, if they supported Theo this time, they had to face the Griffith Family, specifically Mason Griffith, the current ranked 8th in the world.
"So, do you have a suggestion, Feng Hao?" The president asked again before focusing on one matter. "Your personal suggestion."
Feng Hao smiled and said, "Well, I\'m just going to play for a bit."
"Playing? Are you going to visit him? You should know how big the effect is if you\'re coming there personally!"
"No way! I\'m not going to visit him personally." Feng Hao shrugged.
"Then, where are you planning to go?"
Feng Hao smirked. "Japan. Gotta drink with the Sword Saint for a bit."
"!!!" Everyone widened their eyes. They never expected such a move from Feng Hao.
Although Feng Hao was known as the Heavenly Sovereign despite his playful side, he wasn\'t someone who did things randomly. It was clear that Feng Hao had a bigger scheme in his action.
The president closed his eyes for a moment, contemplating. The atmosphere became tense as they waited for his decision on whether to continue this meeting or not.
Eventually, he opened his eyes and turned to Zhao Jia. "The next meeting shall be in three days. Make sure that you observe every movement all around the world."
Without hesitation, the president left the room after declaring his decision.
