893: Signing

Signing

Theo had finally gotten another objective in this place. This set of clothes would certainly assist him in the future.1

However, there was one question he needed to ask. "Is it only effective against Supreme Rank Experts? How about Mythical Rank Experts?"

"That's already at Artifact Level. Not something normal clothes like this can withstand." He shook his head.

Theo thought for a moment. His weapon was an artifact, so it was clear that the clothes were strong enough to handle him.

So, he believed the only reason why it couldn't block Mythical Rank Experts' attacks was due to their overwhelming strength. They would simply be crushed by that power.

"I see." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"We have more stuff like this. After you officially join the Star Group, you'll be notified about the catalog," added Hendry while observing Theo's reaction. His interest was clear, so he thought this was something that could be used to pull him in.

"I understand. Is there anything I can buy with the points I have right now?"

"For someone like you? I don't think there is… You're not searching for garbage, right?"

"Yeah." Theo nodded. 'This country is known for their technology and overall Five Aspects. Although they don't have something that stands out like Italy's Awareness Level, which is considered one of the top ranks in the world, their overall teachings in Five Aspects are better. I guess I'll use this opportunity to consolidate my strength as well as get everything I can like these clothes.'

Theo reinforced his plan again and said, "I understand. I'll just look at the catalog later and proceed with some missions."

"We also have numerous missions like the temples."

"Yeah. Nevertheless, nothing will change. I'll still work alone." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"Whatever." Hendry shrugged. "Since you're done, do you want to go back to sign the contract?"

"Yeah. I want to finish everything as soon as possible."

Hendry acknowledged his words and thanked the middle-aged man. "Alright. It's time for us to leave. Thank you for showing us all this stuff."

"No, no. It's my pleasure." The middle-aged man smiled while wondering who the man Hendry had brought with him. For someone like Hendry to be that friendly to him, Theo was surely not an ordinary man.

Hendry and Theo then left the storage room and headed back to meet Bernard.

After getting his contract, he checked everything first before signing it. He didn't want to be trapped because of his carelessness after all.

Luckily, Bernard also didn't put anything suspicious inside the contract. Only some normal additions like a non-disclosure agreement and so on.

"Welcome to the Star Group." Bernard smiled and extended his hand.

"Thank you." Theo shook his hand and said, "I don't need to do anything for the time being, right?"

"Yes. You can take your time."

"How is the mission assigned?"

"You can pick it yourself. We have two different missions here: Company Mission and Personal Mission. Company Mission is related to everything the company produces, from items to Skill Cards. As for Personal Mission, they're a special mission that we deem special enough to get involved ourselves. The normal mission in your contract refers to the latter."

"So, there will be a catalog for this kind of mission too?"

"Yeah. There will be a special Skylink handed to you. Because your contract is at the level of a Mythical Rank Expert, the company can contact you directly with that Skylink, and you can personally see the missions and all other stuff."

"Okay. I'll just experiment with everything later." Theo nodded.

"I'll call the chauffeur to bring you to your mansion right now. Because of your current strength, we can only get you a 10,000 square feet one. It's not that big compared to other mansions, but it should be enough for you."

"I live alone anyway. Is there anything I need to be careful of?"

"I don't think so. I'll finish everything within seven workdays… Just make sure you pay taxes. It's quite high here."

"…" Theo fell silent for a moment and sighed.

"I'm not joking. With the company obligation as well as your personal taxes, you will only get around fifty percent of what you find on the other side." Bernard explained with a chuckle.

"I know, I know." Theo scratched the back of his head. "Anyway, I'll just ask someone to do that later."

"The company can lend you people who can take care of this problem."

"Then, thank you."

"You can contact us through the Skylink. Don't worry. We'll do our best to make you pay less." Bernard winked his right eye playfully. Luckily, there were only both of them, Vanessa and Hendry, inside the room, or they would make a weird face hearing Bernard's statement.

"Whatever. I'll just learn everything from now on." Theo sighed.

"Sure. Also, even though I won't tell Maya about your appearance, she's bound to know it sooner or later."

"I want a few months at the very least."

"That's easy."

"Thanks." Theo thought for a moment and asked, "One last question. How's the situation around? I mean, after my 'death'?"

"I'll send the news to your Skylink later. Anything else?"

"No."

"Alright then." Bernard patted his shoulders a few times and let him go.

Hendry then guided him to the exit as he personally saw him off.

Before leaving, Hendry whispered one piece of important information. He said, "Never take off your mask unless you're in your mansion or in the wild. The beggars will find you…"

"Beggars?"

"One of the biggest underworld gangs that control the information network all over the US… You won't be able to differentiate them from a real beggar. Once they see you, your information will surely be leaked somewhere."

"I see." Theo nodded. "Thank you for the warning."

"Alright. See you." He waved his hand with a smile as the car started moving.

On the way home, Theo purchased some clothes from different stores since he didn't bring much because of the journey.

And when he finally reached the mansion, he put down all his luggage and laid down on his bed, exhausted. His mask turned into a red cloth that circled around his hand. Hel's Death Armor was truly convenient.

"Three years… I need to reach Mythical Rank within three years. I can't forget my Five Aspects as well. And the most important thing is… I need to start my influence's foundation. In three years, I won't be scared anymore," said Theo while closing his eyes.
