[Xinhuan: That's a big loophole if Theo can just say something to make it true, essentially gambling his power.]

[Adam_Balch_7324: I didn't really think of it before hand but it really does make sense if Haruka and her grandmother think of you as a god since you are attempting to meet the author you would need to be on that level]

Demon World.

"Miss Agata! The master would like to meet you." A middle-aged woman wearing a maid uniform came to the room.

In front of her was a woman like no other. She wore a fitted white shirt that accentuated her slender figure and a flowing skirt that swayed with her every movement, suggesting both gentleness and maturity.

Her beauty was nothing short of captivating. Her gaze was a magnet, drawing the attention of every eye around her.

She was the last piece of the Griffith Family, the gentle mother and caring wife, Agata Mota.

"I know." She made a gentle nod while taking a book with her before following the maid.

The man who called her looked like he was in his mid forties. His body was big and muscular to the point that his shirt had a hard time covering all those muscles. His eyes were sharp and the scars on his forehead increased the intensity of his gaze.

He was the master of the famous Mota Family as well as the reason why the family could withstand the attack from the influences who desired her, Rick Mota.

But when he saw her, his expression mellowed a bit as he retracted his gaze gently. He gestured to the maid to leave both of them alone in the room as he had something important to discuss.

Agata took the seat in front of him as the man opened the conversation with, "Mr. Silva has returned and given me a certain recording. It seems that you are not lying to me."

"I have already told you." Agata simply smiled as though she had expected this to happen.

"Even if you told me about it, you should know that the reason we took him in was because both of you ran away from home. While I did my best to act as a father, the only thing I could do was train him, hoping that he wouldn't waste that talent as a Royal Demon Grade Possessor."

Agata remained silent, wanting to know everything he had to say.

"To think that your child is also a Royal Grade Demon… you should know that even if you marry a Royal Grade Demon Possessor, having a child with the same kind of talent is less than one percent. It's even lower when you don't have anyone with that kind of talent in your family. So, the mother and daughter have become the apples in everyone's eyes.

"While our family was big enough to stop the attackers, it was only a matter of time before we would be at a disadvantage. So, the only way to stop it was to have the son-in-law show up and fight them.

"Despite training him for so long, I couldn't find the power I'm looking for. He even went as far as to avoid making a contract with the demon. Eventually, he left the city, taking his kid with him."

Rick seemed to be recounting everything that happened between Agata and Theo in this world. Agata remained silent the whole time, while Rick didn't show any sign of emotion.

But he soon turned serious as if he were getting into the main point. He asked, "So, did you plan all this?"

Agata smiled. On the one hand, the Mota Family was good enough to try training Theo. On the other hand, they were also pressured because Theo didn't show his strength or talent, which eventually caused him to give up.

She could understand all that and it was necessary to fix that perspective. Agata opened her mouth and said, "The brighter the light, the darker its shadow. It's a famous idiom that describes our current situation. It's just… there are a lot of unknown monsters that are trying to prey upon us."

Rick contemplated her words for a moment before noticing what she meant. "So, you are moving that light to illuminate the darkness around it, finding the pair of eyes gazing upon you."

Agata nodded.

This was enough for Rick. It was clear that they had planned all this. If Theo brought Mia to another world, it would mean that they had to go to that world if they wanted to harm them. So, it was easy to find the mastermind if they really came, considering the usage of the gate was being heavily monitored.

In the meantime, she became the pair of eyes that hid in the darkness now that the light had moved away. She joined the others and tried to identify them now.

When Rick looked at the problem this way, it was clear that even he was fooled by both of them.

"I see. It seems that I don't have to worry." Rick let out a long sigh.

"I'm grateful for everything you've done for us. It's just… we're also a pair of adults and the future generations that will replace the old. If you don't give us a chance, how would we show it?"

Rick closed his eyes. He remembered the time he trained Theo and was so disappointed in him. However, it seemed that he was only making a fool of himself. If he ever trusted them more, would this actually happen?

Rick asked, "Now that you already have a part of my authority, what else do you need?"

"Your trust." Agata stated it without hesitation.

Rick looked into her eyes and saw through that determination. The trust she was talking about meant that no matter how weird her actions were, she wanted him to believe them.

Still, their family was big. Agata had hidden this truth intentionally, so the other family members wouldn't like it. As the head, he couldn't really give his absolute trust for no reason.

But the video that Silva had shown about Theo's strength had completely changed his perspective and eased the tension a bit.

Instead of rejecting her, he asked, "How long do you need that trust?"

"A few months, perhaps around the time the first year ends. Everything will be over once he returns to the Demon Realm."

"You should know that if I give you this trust, I have to suppress the other family members, right?"

"Of course. I can't promise something big, but ranking one in this country should be enough, right?"

"!!!" Rick's body shook. There were three Royal Grade Demon Possessor in this country, not counting Theo and Mia. One of them was their enemy while the other two remained neutral. However, they still felt threatened by the existence of two Royal Grade Demon Possessors the Mota Family had. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire

If Theo could take that spot and defeat their enemy, not a single member of the family would doubt his decision. But if Theo lost, the consequences would be fatal.

And that was probably why she asked for his trust.

"Go do what you need to do and bring me some evidence of your effort along the way. That's the only way I can keep those running mouths shut."

Agata smiled. "Thank you."

"There is no need to thank me. If you fail, the family won't protect you any longer. He will die and who knows what will happen to your daughter. This is what I owe to your mother."

Agata fully understood the circumstances of the family, including Rick. In this world, Agata's mother spent all the resources just to bring them back in while Rick was disappointed in Theo. In the end, she passed away after doing everything by herself.

If not for his stubbornness, his wife would still be alive and everything would be just fine.

Even though he didn't mention it, Agata knew that if they lost, Rick would be replaced and might even be deprived of his status by the family. So, it was similar to the fact that he died.

That was why Agata thanked him before leaving the room.

She couldn't help but look at the sky, reminiscing about the time she had spent with this family. The family was colder than the one she originally had, but it was bigger and much more powerful.

When she first arrived here, she was scrutinized. Some of the family members even tried to make a deal with an outside force to sell her.

Her position was at the rock bottom. Ultimately, the real Agata Mota succumbed to that pressure and was taken over by her.

Thankfully, she had the experience of running a business in her original world. She managed to scheme back those who tried to sell her and eventually raised her position among the family members. Some still held prejudice, but some were already scared of her.

Eventually, she managed to reach this step and even get a lot of authority from Rick himself.

Now that she had gotten the last piece that she needed in order to fight back, Agata couldn't help but think, 'It's time to screw with those people. I might not be as cunning as Theo, but I am still the one who has witnessed his everything. I can at least employ a few of his tactics.'

…

Meanwhile, in the other world, specifically the Modern Realm.

Theo and the students had finally reached the country of their destination.

"Hello, Mr. Theo." A woman in her late twenties approached the group with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Ann." Theo shook her hand.

Before saying anything else, the woman immediately placed her hand on her chest while bowing to Aurora. As someone working for the Helvenia Kingdom, she obviously had to pay respect to the princess. Aurora was fully embarrassed though.

"I have been waiting for you. Although I know that you are tired after the long flight, we still need to ride the bus for another three hours to reach the resort."

"We'll leave it to you. Is everything ready?"

"Yes. All your rooms are ready. Once we reach the resort, you can immediately get some rest."

Theo nodded and turned to his students. "Don't forget that the resort is still open to the public, so don't mess around too much, alright?"

"Yes, Sir!" They nodded their heads with a serious expression. If they actually did it despite the warning, they could imagine getting severely punished by Theo.

"Ahaha, you don't have to be too strict with them. In the end, the purpose of a trip is to have fun." She extended her hand to the side and said, "Please follow me. I will guide you to the bus."

While they were loading their luggage onto the bus, Theo took this moment to look at the comments, replying to them inwardly.

'Yes. It's indeed a big loophole. The problem is that I don't know what the author has in mind. There is a chance that he will let me lose my power or do something to nerf me like what I said previously about the change in the ten worlds. So, without knowing all the possibilities, I couldn't take advantage of this loophole multiple times.'

'As for the second comment, I'm not very sure what you're talking about. And it's not Haruka and her grandmother, but Aurora and her aunt. Anyway, if you're talking about the same loophole, then yes, if I can't take advantage of them, I won't be able to reach the author.'

'If you're talking about the demons, then it's not enough. I need to reach a higher level. For example, the fact that I'm talking like this must have been written by the author, right? So, the author has a limited amount of time to write the story, causing him to produce my own consistent character.'

'By the time he wrote too much, he would end up creating me too strong, which ended in my victory and the author had no choice but to initiate the contact. That's why the author might end up self-destructing just by writing about me consistently.'
