Chapter 176 Theo
Not long after, a young man younger than Aldric appeared at the door.
He was probably only 16 years old, had pale white skin and a thin body.
His face was very handsome, but he had cold eyes that seemed very gloomy, like the sky before the arrival of a big storm.
Aldric who initially wondered what he looked like could not help but be astonished when he saw him in person.
He looked at him more intently where he even brought his face forward. Continue reading stories on empire
"Theo!" he said spontaneously.
That's right, this young man was Theo, the younger brother of Jenny whom he had practiced weightlifting with.
He apparently also played Magician Online, but that wasn't strange considering he was a home boy. What else does he do at home other than play games.
Even kids like him tend to be very exceptional at playing virtual games.
It's like Elsa whose progress is very remarkable even though she doesn't have much money in the real world but she can beat many rich players who rely on their money.
It's just that, how could Theo become the adopted son of Granny Satan and even become the disciple of Paul.
Did he take on the role of a villain in this game and was then favored by Granny Satan?
The young man was originally a bit downcast, but when his name was called by a voice that he thought was somewhat familiar, he thrust his head forward which instantly made his eyes widen.
Aldric, his older sister's boyfriend, his weightlifting coach.
He almost staggered in his surprise.
"You?" he said.
The fact that they seemed to know each other made Sparrow and Paul wonder.
"What are you doing here?" Theo asked Aldric in a not-so-friendly tone.
"Mmm..." This question was something that Aldric found difficult to answer because his goal was to take the treasure that was supposed to be given to him.
"Theo, do you know him?" Paul approached his student and asked.
"Yes, but I'm not familiar with him. What is he doing here?" Theo replied as he asked back.
"He's Sparrow's student and he wants the resources I was going to give you," Paul replied.
"They said they wanted to buy it, but the price they gave was too low," he added with a cynical expression.
"And they even wanted to rob me, but they got scared after learning about your background."
Sparrow, "..."
Aldric, "..."
"Paul, what do you mean our prices are too low. You're the one asking too much," Sparrow replied in an annoyed tone.
"You say that's a lot? And who wants this deal? As long as you give me the White Sky Bird's Saliva in the amount of 5 Billion Spiritual Energy, I will give you the resources," Paul replied.
"This is the price I have set. If you feel that it is expensive, you can look elsewhere. Hmph, I'll let you slap me if you find it," he added with a mocking expression, which made Sparrow grit his teeth.
Theo seemed to be observing their conversation which made him knit his brows occasionally.
Here, he actually seemed more confident.
After hearing their conversation, he looked at Aldric.
"That resource is mine, I won't give it to you," he said.
This situation was indeed a bit difficult for Aldric because this young man was his acquaintance in the real world and would be his brother-in-law.
If it was someone else, he might still think of a way to obtain those resources even if the other party was supported by Granny Demon.
After all, as long as things were done well, it was still possible to avoid that Granny Demon.
"Mm..." He then looked at Paul as he suddenly thought it would be fine even if he used the 5 Billion Spiritual Energy from the White Sky Bird's saliva. After all, the amount he had was much more than that.
"I will give you the 5 Billion Spiritual Energy you want, will you hand over the resources?" he said to the man which greatly surprised him and Sparrow and Theo.
At this moment, he had even transferred quite a lot of that saliva into a ring.
Its weight was incalculable and its size was enormous. It would definitely shock this underground city if it was brought out.
"You can see it!" He even without hesitation showed the ring to Paul.
If the seller was arrogantly selling at a high price while she had more money, how could she be afraid to buy it.
He wouldn't be able to suppress his pride if he didn't buy it.
"Kid, are you kidding?" The surprised Paul looked incredulous at his words.
This was probably because he thought he was Sparrow's disciple.
It should have been Sparrow who made the purchase and she clearly could not afford 5 Billion Spiritual Energy. How could his disciple be able to.
"Why don't you see for yourself," Aldric replied with a faint smile.
As long as he peered into the ring, then he would see for himself whether he was joking or serious.
Told to go out on his own, Paul naturally tried to peer into the ring.
He initially narrowed his eyes but quickly widened his eyes in surprise.
"This," he said spontaneously.
"Is this real?"
He seemed to find it hard to believe because the saliva of the White Sky Bird was too hard to find.
"Didn't you see it clearly, Paul?" said Sparrow in response.
Since his master decided to buy, he immediately became arrogant.
"What? Do you want to deceive us by saying it's a fake?" he added.
He started saying nonsense.
"It's now 5 Billion, quickly hand over the resources," he said again, seemingly unable to stop talking because previously he had been embarrassed out of fear since Paul had talked about Granny Demon.
At this time, the man started to seem interested.
Although he originally wanted 5 Billion Spiritual Energy just to violently resist Sparrow, but since the other party could provide it, it was hard for him to refuse as it would really help his training, not just in the 7th Stage, but also in the later stages.
Of course, he could also replace the resources he gave to his disciple with that saliva.
If he was able to increase his Genesis Core more quickly before, then with the saliva, it would be his spiritual energy that would increase quickly.
Of course, normally people would prefer something that increased the level of the Genesis Core as it was more rare.
However, this time the two of them could benefit from it.
"Theo, what do you think?" Suddenly he asked Theo's opinion.
As a teacher and student, he should be the one to make up his own mind, yet he still asked Theo, obviously he didn't dare to underestimate his other identity or perhaps in this game, this home boy also had a rampant personality.
Maybe he is like Elsa who is very domineering in the game world.
What Paul was worried about was that he would disagree and then complain to his foster mother.
Theo knitted his brows slightly and looked at Aldric.
On the other hand, Aldric was indifferent. He was not a man who liked to joke or could talk to melt someone's heart.
Although this young man was his future brother-in-law, this did not mean he would use words to try to get him to agree.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly all of a sudden.
"Alright, I'll agree because of your relationship with my older sister, but I want you to promise not to tell her about everything here," he said.
His voice was a little quieter when he said the last sentence which made Aldric look at his strangely.
He couldn't help but smile faintly, realizing that he also had concerns like he did talking to his older sister even though in private, he wouldn't do that.
Perhaps he was afraid that Jenny would know how he looked in this game.
"Okay," Aldric replied.
The terms were too easy for him to agree.
He looked at Paul again, waiting for his response.
When he looked at him, he nodded as he said, "since everyone has agreed, of course we can do this transaction."
He also took out a ring after saying that, allowing Aldric to peek inside.
He peered into it and found something egg-like floating in the space inside the ring, emitting a bluish light.
He instantly became amazed because just by looking at that thing, he felt the vibrations of his Genesis Core hidden within his forehead.
This without a doubt could really increase the level of his Genesis Core.
"Take this!" He finally threw his ring to Paul who caught it with a swift motion while Paul threw his ring to him.
They ended up exchanging rings which completed this transaction.
Paul immediately put the ring away and looked at Sparrow and Aldric warily.
He didn't seem to fully trust them and was worried that they had somehow started a fight.
However, Aldric suddenly took a step to leave.
He even walked earlier than Sparrow and the old man followed behind him so their teacher and student status seemed strange.
Paul knitted his brows while wondering if they were teacher and student.
What made him even more unsure was the fact that such a large treasure actually came from Aldric, not Sparrow.
"Theo, who exactly is that young man? What is his background?" He couldn't help but ask his student.
However, this was not something Theo answered.
They were both players, they never had a specific background because they appeared directly in this world as humans.
