Chapter 1974 Shock The World

Chapter 1974 Shock The World

Grace kept going after seeing Ergene bringing the person somewhere. Although she wanted to follow her to get some more information, her grandfather's warning stuck in her mind.
In the end, she had to drop the idea and start exploring the area.
She couldn't help but hear even more secrets.
"Hey, you were called earlier. What did you guys talk about? To think your abilities suddenly had a leap like this…"
"I don't understand what you're talking about, man." The guy seemed to refuse to share the experience.
"Come on. We have been friends for fifteen years. Can't you even give me some hints?" The other guy was trying to coax him.
As expected from a close friend, the one who had been hiding the secret looked uncomfortable, confused about whether he should talk about it or not.
"Still, this is an extremely important secret. I think I have to call my boss about this. As much as I want to share some secrets with you, this is already beyond my jurisdiction, man. Sorry." The guy shook his head in disappointment.
"Fine, fine. Call him. Come on, I can give you some benefits if you can tell me about it."
In fact, people like them were not rare. After Theo began to call them one by one, the people were trying to get some information from those who had been called.
Even the people behind them were trying to get that information.
Some were hiding the secret the whole time, while some leaked it a bit under permission from either themselves or their bosses.
In the end, his boss seemed to give the acknowledgement.
Grace gulped down while fixing her hair so that it didn't block the sound. She even used a special manipulation of Magic Power in order to sharpen her strength along with the technology used to enhance sound.
It was at this time she finally figured out the situation.
"It seems that my boss is OK with it. But I can't tell you the whole reason. I can only give you a small piece of information."
"Sure, Sure. Thanks, bro."
The guy whispered in his ears as low as possible but was still big enough to be heard. "He gave extra lessons and it was even more personalized."
"!!!" He widened his eyes in shock, startled. "Is that why you suddenly get a sudden leap in power?"
"Sssshhhhh!"
He glared at his friend, trying to stop him from talking out loud.
When Grace found out about what Theo did, she couldn't help but start forming her own conclusion based on the information she heard.
She thought for a moment and muttered inwardly, "If I'm not wrong, then Theodore Griffith has been calling people whose influence is either on good terms with his group or neutral. It seems that he's trying to thank those people and give them some benefits for supporting his group in the previous situation.
"As expected, due to the rise of the government, many are trying to take his group down in order to control him. The fact that Theodore Griffith hasn't made his move the whole time… It might be because he was truly not in the base.
"Now that he's back, he's trying to give the benefits to those who remain neutral or on his side. Although our group doesn't really side with the government, because of the current situation in politics, our family has to be on the government's side. So, I guess we won't be receiving the invitation…"
She fell silent, not knowing what kind of implication it would bring to the entire base. But with this kind of conclusion, her grandfather might know how to prepare for what comes next.
Without hesitation, she returned to the room to report to her grandfather.
As expected from a younger generation who hadn't experienced a lot in this world, she didn't realize that she had been manipulated.
Although everything she heard was the truth, she didn't realize that some of these people did not exist among the three hundred participants.
Some of them were actually people in disguise or even Theo himself, who used illusion to become someone else, spreading the information. This way, people would start to spread rumors after assembling their pieces of information.
They might have come to a different conclusion, but one thing was clear. Theo was giving benefits to some people.
It didn't take too long for the rumor to spread. Before the dusk of the second day, many people had been hearing about them and even reported to their own bosses to know what they should do.
There were a lot of talks among the upper echelon in the respective influence. Some were blaming the government, some were blaming each other for persuading them, some were hating Theo for being unfair, not realizing their own prejudice.
But that wasn't the end. The situation was amplified when the night came.
Suddenly, the sky split open, illuminating the world with golden light. But if they looked at it carefully, they would realize there was a person in that gap. It was that person who had been illuminated by the sky.
On that person's shoulder appeared a gold symbol as a marking.
In that very instant, Theo had also appeared. The person was unconscious the moment he received the mark, so he ended up falling into Theo's arms.
The person was a middle-aged man with blond hair. His reputation was quite big and he was known to be extremely powerful. So, it wouldn't be weird for him to achieve a huge breakthrough and attain an order.
When Theo returned to the ground, the partner from the same influence came while screaming. "Arthur. What's going on?!"
He was worried about his partner, but Theo stopped him since it was not a sad moment but a joyous one.
"You don't have to worry. I guess I should congratulate him along with your Hem and Din Group for getting a new Transcendent Level Expert."
"What?!" His partner and all the people who witnessed the phenomenon were shocked.
Theo handed the person carefully and said, "He will be sleeping for a few hours to a few days, depending on his circumstances. You should call your boss to come here to discuss whether you want to let him stay here for the time being or bring him back immediately."
And this news shocked the world.
