Italy.

"No."

*Hiss!*

The world was stunned for a second as they just couldn't believe what they heard.

"What?"

"Did she just reject him?"

The people were dumbfounded because they didn't expect this kind of answer. There were already so many people watching the entire process, yet, even with those many eyes, Agata still rejected him.

It was the same as her declaration to the whole world. The embarrassment and insult were unimaginable for the Skyward Guardian.

"You…" Larry was in shock as his body started convulsing due to the embarrassment alone.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Airvans stepped forward, staring at Boris and Agata with a frown.

Suddenly, Walker stepped forward as if he was protecting them.

"Hmm? If I'm not wrong, you are Walker whatevershit. If you rejected my son just because of him, I need to warn you that you are treading in a dangerous zone." Airvans squinted his eyes, pressuring them.

"No, you have promised me!" Out of desperation, Larry took out his Skylink and showed a video of Agata.

In that video, Agata said with a smile. "Hmm… Well, I do love to have someone propose to me exactly six months from now."

That was the reason why Larry had waited for so long because she had told him to propose… or so he thought.

Even the people thought the same since it was clear that Agata was talking to Larry, and no one seemed to be close enough to Agata to propose to her. So, the rejection was truly unjustified. This made Agata look like an evil woman that just wanted to break people's hearts.

However, Agata asked, "Yes. I indeed said that… but I never said I wanted you to propose to me."

"Huh?" Larry was stunned by her reply.

"Lady, are you going to play with us today? If that's the case—" Airvans wanted to warn Agata again, but he abruptly stopped as if he realized something.

Out of desperation, Larry shouted, "You! I have prepared many gifts and even a private island for you! Do you think you can reject me in front of these people without any reason? You will be condemned by the entire world!"

"I do have a reason." Agata smiled calmly as if everything was under her control. "After all, I have someone that will propose to me today."

"That's me. That's why I am here!"

"No, it's not you. As I said in that video, I have someone… And that someone is not you." Agata shook her head.

"Not me? Then who?" Larry gritted her teeth.

"That is me of course." A hand suddenly grabbed Larry's head and slammed it to the ground.

"Huh?!" The people looked at them as if they didn't expect Theo to appear among them. They almost forgot the fact that Theo could teleport.

"You… You are Joker!" The people were stunned as they didn't expect that everyone would see this kind of figure appear in this proposal.

Theo smiled and snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, a red carpet appeared on the ground as if they were there to greet him. Theo's clothes suddenly turned into a white shirt and long pants. The white tuxedo appeared to cover his shirt.

After that, Agata's clothes also turned into a white dress that matched Theo's white suit. Her hair also changed as if someone had styled it perfectly. However, everyone could see that it was just an illusion.

Joker was the one casting that illusion so that the two of them could look more handsome and beautiful.

Even Myan-Myan was stunned as she involuntarily muttered, "So beautiful."

The balloons appeared, giving a festive mood to this whole proposal. The flowers grew as if they came out just to greet their love.

"Is this how an illusionist proposes?"

"I somehow want to become an illusionist if I can be this romantic."

The people didn't realize that they had been entranced by the illusion. However, none of them actually complained. Agata was the most beautiful woman in the world, while Joker was the most talented man in the younger generation. They truly matched each other.

The soothing but cheerful melody filled the atmosphere as Jeff was playing on the side while waiting for their turn to appear.

Theo smiled when looking at the woman he loved so much.

"Three years. Due to my circumstances, we needed to be separated for three whole years…" Theo gradually walked to Agata while he recounted everything that happened in the past. "I had to leave the woman I love for three years.

"During that time, I couldn't even show my face to the public. But for three years, you kept encouraging me, and that made me able to continue fighting so that one day we can reunite once again.

"And the time has finally come…" Theo gradually took off his mask, showing his scarred face. However, that face soon disappeared as if it was getting peeled off. His hair and eyes gradually changed to the blue color they were familiar with, revealing his true identity.

Theodore Griffith had returned.

Three years ago, the world thought he had died because he fell into the Dark Poison Swamp. But three years later, he returned to this place with Joker's identity on his back. The man who was known to be the most talented person in the world.

Theo had shown them that for the woman he loved, he kept fighting and fighting until he reached the top. No matter how hard the battle was, he fought and won every battle just to finally return home and propose to the woman he missed so much.

Even Agata couldn't hold back her tears of happiness as the wait was finally over. She could finally reunite with her man in the open without having to hide anything anymore.

She covered her mouth with her hands as she had the urge to just hug him.

Theo smiled and took out the small box that was supposed to contain twin rings. He had put on one of them, leaving only the other pair inside the box.

He bent on one knee and raised the ring. "The time has finally come… the time for me to show myself and ask you…

"Will you marry me?"

With a big smile on her face, Agata answered.

"Yes."
