1925: Help

Help

"I need your help."1

"Hoh? It's surprising for you to ask me. It seems that Theodore Griffith can't contain the situation."

The male's voice was deep, but his tone was filled with mockery. It seemed that he had been waiting for this moment to mock Theo.

However, he didn't know that Theo wouldn't be here to fight for them. If not, there wouldn't be any need for this help.

Still, they had agreed to make sure Theo's situation wouldn't be revealed. So, they had no choice but to step back today.

Maya closed her eyes for a moment, trying to calm her down. After that, she said, "So, I'm going to ask this again. Are you planning to help or not? If you don't, then I won't ask again."

The person behind the call was amused by this statement. He seemed to find something from this conversation and asked, "It seems that Theodore Griffith won't be coming out in this battle. I wonder what is happening to him… Is he getting severely injured? Or maybe he's doing something else."

Maya clicked her tongue inwardly. She truly wanted to smack this guy herself, but they truly needed his help in this situation.

So, she answered in a roundabout way. "Hmph. There is no need for Theo to make his move in this situation. It's still within our means and capabilities."

"Within your capabilities, huh? Then, why are you asking for my help?"

"I'm simply giving you a chance to help so that everyone knows your contribution."

This person fell silent for a moment as if he was thinking about it. He had guessed it right.

Theo wouldn't appear here. For whatever reason, they had been using Theo's name in order to rally this massive force.

But it also meant that Theo was in another situation. He could be recuperating after fighting World Class Monsters or he might be doing something to prepare for the last attack.

Previously, they had told the people that Theo was preparing something and letting them handle the rest. It looked like the situation was similar to the battle against the sea race.

However, there was something that piqued his interest.

The man fell silent for a moment before agreeing. "Alright. I'll help you. Where do you want me to go?"

"To the north battlefield, specifically the area the Griffith Family defended."

The man seemed to be thinking about it. The silence made Maya frustrated, but she maintained her silence because she couldn't offend this guy right now.

Luckily, the man agreed to help. "Alright. I'll help. I'm going to prepare right now. I'm going to reach that place in three hours. If you can't hold them back for three hours, then there is no point."

"We'll stop them for that long," Maya answered with a strong tone to show that she wasn't backing down. There was no negotiation even though Maya had prepared a few arguments.

They might be fortunate, but they had no time to think about it.

After getting his agreement, Maya sent a message to Agata.

'He has agreed to help, but we have to hold on for three hours. The negotiation is successful without any loss.'

Maya closed her eyes after that. She felt something was amiss and couldn't help but rise from her chair, looking at the city through the window.

"It seems that the situation is far more difficult than we imagine." Maya frowned. She couldn't help but stare down, finding many people roaming around the street.

They were still clueless about how big the fight had become. It was true that they would be extremely strong after combining forces, but they still underestimated the enemies.

These people who still dared to come out were the ones who hadn't heard about the danger from the spies. Though, it was better if they stayed this way since they wouldn't be that hard to control.

"Rea has a hard time fighting against ten unique monsters. I have no doubt that she can handle twenty to thirty unique monsters at once, but more than that is impossible. She needs help from other Mythical Rank Experts.

"But they have four to five hundred unique monsters. Even if they split them into three groups evenly, there are still more than one hundred monsters.

"It's true that not all of the unique monsters are Mythical Rank Monsters, but each of them is stronger than a normal Mythical Rank Expert.

"And currently, they are not the main force since the big slime hasn't attacked us yet. I wonder how big the enemies will be when the big slime joins them…"

Maya sighed. She had been preparing for everything, but it seemed that the situation was more dangerous than she originally thought. No wonder Theo said even he didn't have the confidence to win.

"I need more money. I've been using too much money in the last couple of days. I'm afraid that my company will go under sooner or later. Although this is for humanity, if my company is bankrupt before the final fight, it's going to be extremely devastating for Theo as well."

Maya was thinking about a way to handle the cash flow. She had a few options currently, but she had to consider the risk of each option.

"I wonder how much money I have spent for Theo…" Maya sighed and returned to her seat. She opened her Skylink and searched for a number.

It was a number with 'Richard' name on it. She immediately called this person.

"Good morning. It's rare for Miss Maya to call me. May I know how I can help you?"

Maya bit her lips. She seemed to be pained for letting this go, but she had to do it for Theo's sake. At least Theo might be able to help her after all of this was over.

So, she dropped a bomb… a deal that no one could refuse.

"I want to borrow money. The stake shall be the blueprints of my Anti Monster Aircraft as well as the three existing planes."
