“Give up! You have broken the laws. Do you think you can escape from this? Especially you, Maya Hamilton.” A middle-aged man shouted while glaring at their defense. The enemies this time were truly hard to crush, considering they had three Transcendent Level Experts while they only had two.

Even the Time God was nowhere to be seen. So, they couldn’t do anything other than threaten them by using the citizens.

The dawn had arrived, and the sun gradually brightened the world. People would start hearing the news again. There were already a few media companies trying to get all the information. They were pointing their cameras at Theo’s group, condemning them.

People thought Theo had grown too arrogant and started to doubt him as a hero.

Maya, who stood at the top of the tower overlooking the entire situation, got a call from the one she had been waiting for.

“Theo? What’s wrong?”

“Everything is done. I’ll arrive there in fifteen minutes.”

Maya widened her eyes in surprise before a smile appeared on her face. She nodded, “Understood. We’re waiting for you.”

After receiving the news, she shared it with everyone so that they would be more energetic to protect their base of operation for another fifteen minutes.

“It seems you’re not going to surrender. We’ve had a stand-off since yesterday…” The middle-aged man glared at Maya and shouted, “If you’re not going to surrender, then we’ll be forced to utilize our weapons.”

The guy thought Maya wouldn’t point those guns at the citizens, so they would be free to utilize their own weapons to destroy them.

Maya wasn’t afraid of him since Theo was going to come soon. She had just to buy time.

“Do you know what you’re doing right now?” Maya shouted back.

“You’re the ones who don’t know what you’re doing right now!” The middle-aged man gritted his teeth. “You possess a weapon that can threaten national security. You’ve broken so many laws. Do you think just because you’re the richest woman in the world, you can do anything you want?”

“Not at all. I never planned to build these weapons if not for Theo’s request.” Maya smirked. “The same Theo who is fighting on the frontline without any backup. When there is a real threat out there, ready to destroy you, you turn a blind eye to them and decide to attack us. I don’t even understand how your brain works.”

“Theodore Griffith has broken the laws. If not for the fact he’s still fighting for the country, he would have been detained already.” The guy shouted.

“Such a shameless government.” Maya chuckled. “I guess this is how you treat the hero… He has been saving your ass so many times, yet, the only thing you’re trying to do is to control him.”

“Don’t twist my words. Theodore Griffith has broken the law. So, he shall be punished according to the law.”

“Good. Then, I’ll personally suggest Theo leave the base right away. With this, you can rely on the Time God to protect your country.” Maya smiled. “Of course, I better follow Theo than this base. You can ask your technicians to build an aircraft for you since I’ll bring it away with me.

“Haha, shameless government. You want Theo for yourself by using ‘for the people’ shit.” Maya laughed.

Although Maya had changed after she succeeded in her position as the CEO of the Star Group, not many people knew about her change. People would still think she was just acting like her usual arrogant self.

That was why Maya could spite all of this without thinking much about the consequences.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and raised his hand. “Since you refuse to acknowledge your mistakes and even publicly slander the government without any proof, I have no choice but to take you down with force. All troops, att—!”

When he was about to wave his hand down to signal the attack, he suddenly stopped. His hand couldn’t move because his wrist was grasped by someone.

Suddenly, a gentle voice echoed in everyone’s ears. “Let’s stop this here.”

“!!!” Everyone suddenly shivered as they turned around, following the voice.

At that time, they found a blue-haired man standing next to their leader. There was a white rabbit on top of his shoulder, glaring at the middle-aged man as if she was ready to kill him.

“You… You are Theodore Griffith!” The man’s face became pale. He couldn’t even feel his presence before Theo grasped his wrist. If Theo had wanted to kill him, he would have died multiple times.

However, the other soldiers were different. Since Theo appeared between them, they hurriedly regained their calm and pointed their weapons at Theo.

“…” Theo glanced at them before warning them with a poker face. “It’s better if you don’t point your weapons at me.”

“O…”

“Oohh…”

The people took a step back. They knew what kind of strength Theo possessed. He was on a completely different level.

Still, the soldiers might be afraid of him, some of the media knew they were civilians and took advantage of their status to approach Theo. He wouldn’t have attacked an innocent civilian, so they might be able to get his opinions on this matter.

“Excuse me!” One of the reporters shouted. Although his face was pale as if he was scared of Theo, he still braced himself and asked while running toward him. The soldiers could stop them, but surprisingly none of them actually moved.

No one realized yet they were already under Theo’s illusion.

Theo glanced at him, listening to his words.

“Why do you break the law by possessing these weapons?”

“If I’m the one giving you the answer, people might think I’m just giving you my alibi. That’s why I’ll give you this hint instead.

“If you wish to know the answer, hire professionals who can analyze the war against those monsters. Make sure they’re neutral.”

The guy didn’t expect this kind of answer from Theo, but he still noted it down. “Then, are you going to surrender yourself to the authorities? No matter how you word it, you have broken the law…”

Theo smiled and shook his head, asking, “Do you trust the government?”

“I do.” The guy answered without hesitation.

“That’s good, but our opinion differs. I don’t trust the government… After all, the one who is bringing the previous war comes from them. Why don’t you ask him instead? You should know who I’m talking about.”

The guy gasped. An image entered his mind as he muttered the person’s identity. “The Vice President…”
