Chapter 817 - Best Ava

As soon as they returned home, Maya's mother, Stella, greeted them with a smile.

"Welcome back, sweethearts." She waved her hand. "I'm sure that you're tired after a long journey. Come in."

She opened the door and extended her hand.

"Mom." Maya took some time to hug her first before entering the house.

"Your dad is going to be home in a few hours. For now, take a bath and get some rest." Stella patted Maya's head.

"Yup."

"By the way, it seems that your father has something important to say."

"I know. It should be about the auction and Theo's reward. After all, we've found the flower along with the hidden monster in the Arkahan Volcano. Then, the treasure room in the Moniac Dungeon Last but not least, one-year permission to extract the Blue Star Crystal Mine from a King Class Monster." Maya explained their achievements in this trip as simply as possible.

"Wow. You did that much? I'm proud of you." Stella chuckled. There was pride reflected in her eyes.

When he saw something like this, he couldn't help but feel jealous. Despite having money, status, and power, the family was still in deep harmony. Even the War God Family wasn't as close as them since most affection came from Leonardo's equal love motto.

Seeing his expression darken, Ava sighed before turning around, wondering how she could help her. It was then Agata came into her vision.

She released a bit of Magic Power to her face, startling Agata.

When she turned around, she saw Theo's disappointed face and Ava's eyes that were practically glued to him even though her face was looking in her direction.

It was clear that Ava wanted her to cheer Theo up, but she didn't know what to do.

There was a hesitation in Agata's eyes for a moment before she decided to do something. Her hand sneakily moved toward Theo's hand and eventually held his hand.

"?!" Theo widened his eyes, feeling the warmth of Agata's hand. His head turned around, and he saw Agata smiling at him as if telling him, "Good work."

Although it looked like Agata was taking advantage of the situation, Theo didn't brush her hand away. He just let her do whatever she wanted since he didn't hate it either.

Meanwhile, Stella was sweating inwardly. At her level, their actions didn't escape her eyes.

Seeing such a development, she started thinking, 'I wonder if I being here hinders the progress? Or should I teach this prideful tomboy how to act a bit more feminine? No, no. I think the key is the rabbit.

'I bet that the rabbit only wants its owner to feel better, and this kind of result is something beyond her prediction. But

'Ugh. The only three who are seriously aiming at this boy are the Empress, the Mota Family and my family There are many who want to be his friend like that Wind Emperor Oh, sweetheart, it seems the first bed is occupied already.'

Stella could only sigh inwardly, seeing how Maya completely forgot about Theo now that they were already home.

They headed straight to their rooms as Stella immediately left them.

Theo sat down on the chair and removed all his equipment. Ava then stood in front of him and asked innocently. "Theo Are you jealous? Do you want to have a family?"

Theo suddenly halted all his action and turned his vision to Ava. "What are you talking about?"

"You looked sad and disappointed when you saw Maya and her mother. Since I couldn't talk at that time, I asked Agata to comfort you." Ava sighed.

"Well, If I said I'm not, I would be lying." Theo made a gentle smile. After coming to the War God Family and learning from Leonardo, he had learned that his previous insight was not entirely true.

In the past, he thought that achieving what the God of Mischief wanted would lead him to the path of ruin. So, he didn't wish to get anyone involved too deeply with him.

But the more he learned from Leonardo, the more he understood that what could be done might be vastly different than what he expected.

The God of Mischief tasked Theo to mess up this world with his wisdom. But he certainly didn't mean to reset the entire planet or anything.

He just wanted mischief all over the world, like how he had been known in the myth. His view was too distorted at that time after the small betrayal.

He soon realized that messing up the world could also be done another way. Instead of acting alone, he could simply create a powerful influence and use it as his front to mess up the world.

This would be the better approach. He didn't wish to be someone with no power to the point they needed to abandon their child to do whatever they wanted.

So, he opened up a bit because he had seen a better scenario. Though, Leonardo undoubtedly played a significant role in this transformation as a grandfather.

The older he became, the more knowledge he had. His heart also became more mature. It made him realize that his previous view was too extreme and irrational.

Remembering this thought, Theo couldn't help but smile at Ava. "I'm thankful to you, Ava. You've been taking care of me this whole time."

"No, no. I am just repaying you."

"For the food?"

"More than that. This strength, this opportunity Everything!"

"We're equal. You've helped me to gain many opportunities and increase my levels too." Theo shook his head with a smile. "I think it's good to have an influence in the future A place that I can call home."

"Really?" Ava's expression brightened.

"Yes. Let me get a bit stronger. I'll try to set up the foundation of my home in the future. At that time, you don't need to hide the fact that you're a General Class Monster. I'm always grateful that you're the one with me." Theo smiled and extended his hand.

Ava jumped to his palm and smiled "Me too."
