Chapter 1343 Suspicion

  "Without Valerie, Ray won't be able to do much against us even with his talent." Airvans pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling troubled. "If only you killed that woman when you visited Italy, Eric."

  "Do you want to fight me, Lockens?" Eric glared at him.

  "I don't. I'm just stating the truth. If you managed to kill her back then, we wouldn't have this kind of problem." Airvans shrugged.

  "Enough. The problem is Theo now! He is said to have a brain surpassing Valerie and even Leonardo. His talent for learning is also too overwhelming. Just looking at this, it's normal for us to suspect that Theo is Joker because they're similar." Mason stopped their conflict by presenting the main problem.

  "Well, that's true since he has gotten a hold of you using the Dark Poison Swamp. But in this case, I can see why you suspect Joker is Theo, but Joker is using a sword instead of a spear."

  "But he excels in Control among the Five Aspects. It's perfectly aligned to our family's talent." Eric added, denying Arivans' claim.

  "But at the same time, he has never shown his previous power. Even the Death Reaper has acknowledged that he doesn't have a face mask or an illusion to cover that face. The Death Reaper can even see through our disguise, so don't you think it's clear that Joker is not Theo?" Airvans didn't back down in this argument.

  "Can you say for sure that Joker is not Theo?" Eric clicked his tongue.

  Airvans obviously couldn't answer that. So, he reversed the question. "Can you say for sure that Joker is Theo?"

  Eric and Airvans glared at each other as if they were picking a fight at each other. Airvans continued, "You can't, right? In that case, it's better to assume that Theo is another person.

  "If we're assuming that he's smart enough to know the risk of being spotted by the Griffith Family by staying in the open, won't it be a better choice to avoid the spotlight?" Airvans asked. "How about that guy?"

  "That guy?" Mason narrowed his eyes.

  "Yes. Didn't you receive some news regarding the Poison King recently? It was said that the Poison King disappeared out of nowhere. His daughter, as well as the Mythical Rank Experts under him, died." Airvans nodded. "If we assume that Theo managed to survive the poison of the Dark Poison Swamp… shouldn't we suspect this guy too? With the help of the Poison King, he can survive the poison, causing us to be in distress right now."

  "…" Both Eric and Mason fell silent. On the one hand, this guy was so mysterious that not much information could be obtained about him. On the other hand, they couldn't brush off the suspicion either. After all, the Poison King indeed had the power to rescue him there.

  "So, here is my suggestion. Let's prepare some antidotes in case this is the problem. We surely don't want to fall into the poison trap, right?" Airvans asked.

  "Still, there's no proof that this guy is Theo. After all, there's no record about Theo meeting the Poison King." Eric tried his hardest to deny Airvans.

  Airvans only shrugged and looked away, not taking his opinion seriously.

  "Don't fight," Mason shouted, stopping their annoying pettiness. He said, "We can't prove whether this information is true or not. Either way, it's not bad to prepare for the worst. We have enough money, so we'll supply everyone with the antidote.

  "As for the Supreme Rank or below, the Griffith Family will also send their experts to confuse the military and all other influences in Italy. I know that some of them will be trying to gain favor from the War God Family by helping them this time, so it's best to take them away first so as to not have tens of Mythical Rank Experts join the fight.

  "Meanwhile, twenty Mythical Rank Experts from the Skyward Mercenary, including you, will aim for Agata. It's clear that the assistant that Theo once had during his stay there was Agata, so we'll use her to bring him out. After that, we'll surround them with twenty Mythical Rank Experts. You surely have no problem handling someone like the Poison King, right?" Mason asked.

  "The Poison King? So, you're assuming that Theo is the mysterious guy? Either way, are you sure that I won't be facing Theo?"

  "With his brain, he'll surely have someone among the top one hundred experts to be his supporter. Meanwhile, I'll have Eric go for his life."

  Eric smirked. "It seems that I'll be the main star. You can clean up the rest, chickens… I mean, Lockens."

  "What?" Airvans gritted his teeth, glaring at Eric.

  "Enough!" Mason stomped the ground, creating a small crater. "I am not here to watch you arguing. Both the Skyward Mercenary and Eric will handle Theo and his supporters, including the Pata Corporation.

  "Meanwhile, I'll be taking on the War God Family before flanking them from the side if you can't deal with them."

  Airvans thought for a moment and asked, "Don't you think the Wind Emperor will appear here?"

  "The threat of Eric suddenly appearing in Russia will put too much threat to Theo's plan, so the Wind Emperor has no choice but to stay there." Mason denied the claim.

  "I see. So, you'll be dealing with Leonardo… I don't think that will be much of a problem, right?" Airvans smirked.

  "Who do you think I am? The only reason Leonardo can escape death this whole time is because he has prepared enough, causing a huge disturbance in the family. But this time, we're the one on the offensive. He can't do anything to us anymore. So, the only problem now is Ray. He'll surely appear to help Leonardo to stop us. I don't know what kind of trick he has, but I'll crush it with my power." Mason stated coldly.

  "That's true. Your power can destroy them after all." Airvans paused for a moment before raising one finger. "In that case, there is one more problem that we need to talk about."
