As soon as Theo reached the hotel, Theo, Maya and Rea had a meeting to discuss their next headquarters.

"So, what do you want?" Maya asked.

"I need a plot of land. Do you have the map of the frontline?" Rea was the one handling this matter while Theo observed them.

Maya took out her Skylink and typed a few things as if finding the file before showing a map to her.

"The country has moved its capital to Nebraska. There have been many rescue operations as well as expansions. I don't have the exact number, but the rough calculation states that there are around 700 million people from all states and neighboring countries.

"Currently, we have expanded to Kansas, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Iowa, and Missouri, which host all these people.

"But there is good progress in Wyoming. It's assumed that we're going to expand in this direction to reclaim as much land as we can.

"You can see that the green area is the human's area and the red border is basically an unexplored area. We have explored them to a certain extent while saving some citizens, but that's all There are too many unknown variables."

Rea listened to her explanation and asked again, "Your company is in Missouri, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, we'll go to this place."

"Hmm?" Maya furrowed her eyebrows. "Kentucky? That place is in the red zone, you know!"

"That's why we have to go there." Rea smiled. "I believe that this is important for Theo to regain some more popularity and to be accepted completely in this base. Hence, we're going to mobilize our people to clear up Kentucky.

"With Theo holding this place, it's easy for you to expand to the surrounding states since Theo is ensuring this pivot point's safety, don't you think? The normal people will just accept that Theo is doing something for their base, while the military will understand this concept and invest in this land heavily.

"And with Theo's reputation, we can rebuild this place since many investors will be coming because of his protection. That's why this place is a good base for us and it won't be that far from your company too."

Maya paused for a moment. What Rea said made sense. If Theo set up the base in this place, they could expand to Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, North and South Caroline, and Tennessee.

Looking at the number of states they could conquer alone was enough to convince all those people.

The Time God remained in the capital because if their base was destroyed by a sudden attack, it would cause a lot of trouble.

But Theo was free. If he desired a certain place by promising those conditions, the government wouldn't reject him at all. In fact, they would go along with his plan and pour a lot of investment.

"Still, there is a problem. If the government is investing heavily in that area, there will be a lot of discussion from the western areas like Wyoming." Maya presented a problem. She didn't want to get entangled in many problems in this situation.

But Rea simply pointed at Theo and said, "Is he enough?"

"" Maya pinched the bridge of her nose as she had no words to deny it. "Still, I don't understand why you want all this. It's going to be troublesome for our group, no? Clearing a single state is impossible with only a single group."

"Indeed. That's why Theo's reputation is important since the army is going to move as well. I mean, no one can deny Theo's prowess, so even those people from Wyoming won't be able to do anything against Theo's strength. This plan relies heavily on Theo, but you should be able to convince the government, right?"

Maya closed her eyes, seeing the pros and cons. Theo taking care of this state meant becoming the sole ruler of Kentucky. The land could be developed according to his plan and since even the union adopted Theo's system, it meant that this city would be developed properly. There was no reason to reject it.

Maya sighed and raised both hands. "Alright. I'll inform them about it. Do you have any specific place you like to settle down?"

Theo finally spoke since he hadn't told anyone about his requirement. "Not yet. I'm going there to check the place."

"Then, I'll negotiate with them a plot of land that you'll choose at a later date, along with the investment for the new area. Well, my company will take part in this as well. Are you going to develop this area personally?"

"No, there are people who are good at city planning, right? They'll do their job while I'm going to get involved here and there." Theo shook his head.

Maya thought for a moment. "Alright. I can see what will happen in the negotiation. How confident are you in protecting Kentucky?"

"Ninety-nine percent."

"Not one hundred percent?"

"Yeah. I'm afraid that there is going to be another problem, but I don't know about the scale yet. Also, you should get some lands as well for military expansion."

"Ah!" Maya remembered when Theo told her to develop military weapons. She understood why there was a need for the new area.

It seemed that Theo planned to turn this place into a fortress.

"I understand. I'll try to get the best terms. Can I use your identity during the negotiation?"

"Not too excessive, yes."

"Got it. When are you planning to start?"

"In three days. We're going to wait for the excitement to die out first to create another momentum."

Maya had got all the cards she needed to negotiate with the government. And since there wasn't much time, Maya immediately rose from her seat and said, "In that case, I'm leaving right now to negotiate with the government. Do you have any advice?"

"No, I'll believe in your skill." Theo waved his hand, seeing Maya off.

When she left, Rea couldn't help but ask, "I still don't understand why you want to go to Kentucky. If your aim is to gather the pillar, shouldn't you go for Texas? Those people will feel relieved that you're going to protect them from the World Class Monster in Mexico anyway."

Theo didn't explain it to her. He only said, "There is a reason."
