The Seven Deadly Child
The request of Lord Bernard
The bandit group was very surprised and amazed. If what they had felt was the remains of an outcast, so how pure could Theo's Element Seed actually produce?
When the Bandits were still pensive, Theo suddenly took out several tens of silver Mana Pearls. Seeing that, everyone in the location, felt slightly stunned.
"As a first gift for having become your master, take and share this Silver Mana Pearl with everyone. Practice well, and grow strong."
"I may have made you slaves, but I can assure you, there will be no loss at all by making me your master."
"But of course, that's as long as you follow all the instructions I give you well!" Theo.
Hearing that, the bandits eyes immediately lit up.
"Ba.. good sir…!!!" Replied the Bandit leader somewhat stammered while receiving the Silver Mana Pearl from Theo.
As many people knew, 1 Silver Mana Pearl, was equal to 100 Bronze Mana Pearls, therefore, when Theo casually took out a pile of Silver Pearls and handed them out for granted as a welcome gift, everyone became stunned.
Although this was indeed not the first time for the House Braveheart people as well as Lord Bernard to see the pile of Silver Mana Pearls, as indeed they were from the Great House, yet still, they were, looking at Theo who was just an ordinary young master could expend that much resources casually, making everyone somewhat depressed.
This was because normally only the elders would have a stash of Silver Pearls, it would not be too much either. It would take several months for the elders to be able to gather as many Silver Pearls as Theo had shared with the Bandits like a lunch cookie.
"Good, now my first instruction for you. After this, keep operating as usual like a group of mountain bandits. And also, don't forget to add as many new members."
"However, never touch the territory of House Alknight, nor House Wildbear. Besides these two regions, you are free to do anything." Theo.
"Ahhh.....just like that?" The Bandit leader was somewhat surprised by Theo's simple request.
"Yes, for a while, just like that. But, over the next few months, you should also train diligently."
"If with the resources I have given you, as well as the Mana injections I sent from my Element Seed, you still cannot develop, then it is better to die!" Theo said in a relaxed tone, but looked serious.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh…. You guys hear that? The young master has already given the order, obey it well! From now on, the main leader of the Black Bee Bandit was the young master Theo of the Alknight House!" Shouted the bandit leader loudly.
"Ehemmm.. Who told you to give such an order?" Theo said as soon as he heard the bandit leader decide at will.
"Ahhh... thatuu.pardon me!" The Bandit leader who saw Theo was a bit annoyed, immediately apologizing in stammer.
"Hahh..forget over! But remember this, before I give my next instruction, never tell anyone that you are now my followers."
"Hide this properly, can you?" Ask Theo.
"Every young master..!" Shouted the bandit hordes almost simultaneously.
"Good! The four of you, come quickly!" Theo said again, pointing at the four bandit leaders.
Hearing Theo's instructions, the four immediately advanced before Theo in a hurry. Then they kneeled.
"What are you guys doing? Stand fast! I never told you to kneel!" Jerk Theo.
"Ahhh. ready young master!" The four said simultaneously, then stood in unison.
"Good, meet each one of you!" Theo said as the bandit leaders stood up.
"Let me introduce you!" The scarred-faced Bandit leader took over.
"Young master, we were orphans since childhood. On one occasion, the village we lived in was destroyed. Because of this incident, it ended up only telling the four of us who survived. ever since we decided to raise each other's brothers."
"We threw away the surname, and began to call each other brothers, starting with me the oldest, commonly called first brother."
"And lastly, our only sister, the fourth brother." Close the bandit leader.
"Hmmm.it would be very confusing if I had to call you brothers as well. So tell you what, after this and for the rest, I'll call each of you as vice-captain."
"Starting from you, I will call you first vice-captain, and in the order of your brothers, they are second, third, and fourth vice-captains." Theo said, while pointing at each of the Bandit leaders.
"As the young master commands!" Answer the four vice-captains simultaneously.
"Hmmm, good, for now that's it. You guys can go. I'll look for you when the time comes." Theo said, nodding in satisfaction.
"Ready…!"
The four vice-captains replied together, then continued by ordering his entire group to leave the place.

(Some time later, after the departure of the Black Bee Bandit Group.)
"Hahahhahah, you know, I really admire you!" Said Lord Bernard, patting loudly on Theo's shoulder.
"Open…." Gaining Lord Bernard's loud clap, Theo immediately coughed.
"I've already... I can die setting if you keep patting me on the shoulder like this!" Theo.
"Haha…. How could I be so excited! you can always give me a really nice surprise!"
"Right now, my heart has even been pounding, I'm really looking forward to the grand plan you said before coming to fruition soon."
"When the time comes, it will definitely be very festive!" Lord Bernard closed his words with a very wide smile.
"Hahhaha, it seems like you have been able to capture the outline of my plan. Just look forward to the news from me next. We'll party when the time comes!" Answer Theo. With the same big smile.
"Hahhahah, I'll look forward to it!" Answer Lord Bernard.
"Ahh... By the way what exactly are you doing here?" Ask Theo. While looking at Arthur who had been silent behind Lord Bernard.
"Ohhh that matter, I was actually deliberately chasing your entourage." Answer Lord Bernard.
"Willfully pursued?"
"Well, a while ago, I heard that you've been traveling towards the Blackwood Empire."
"My goal in pursuit is, I want you to take Arthur on your trip this time." Said Lord Bernard.
"Bring Arthur?"
"Well, I want you to take Arthur, I want you to train him directly to control his dark attributes efficiently."
"Hmmm.. Didn't I give you the technique manual?" Ask Theo.
"That's right. But, after I think again, I think it would be better if you guide him yourself. Besides, I also want this spoiled child to see the vast world. Not confined in his house and becoming more and more spoiled."
"Take him as your own brother!" Close Lord Bernard, pressing Arthur's head. Trying to make him bow to Theo.
