God of Tricksters

A few weeks later.

March had finally arrived. It was the time Theo had been waiting for.

Without hesitation, Theo called Bernard and asked, "You don't mind if I go out now, right?"

"Of course. The situation has become calmer. Although we needed to reveal a bit of your information to appease the mass, it wouldn't be disadvantageous for you. In fact, we didn't even reveal much because we had a long time to distribute it."

"Is there anything I need to be careful of?"

"Not at the moment. The beggars might be on you, but your identity won't be as important as when it started."

"Fair enough. Well, no one is planning to assassinate me, right?"

"I don't know. You might want to bring that Mythical Rank Expert with you."

"That's the plan." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"Still, to think you would leave your mansion right after the ban is lifted. Are you planning for something big again?"

"I'm just picking up someone since I'm planning to leave to the other side soon to get some levels. I want to be at least level 600 before going to Atlantis, you know." Theo complained about not being able to level up during the past four months. It was too long for him.

"I know, I know. If that's the case, you can go out. I'm just afraid that something will happen to you on the other side."

"I will take care of myself there." Theo nodded. "Besides, I should have taken a mission from you soon… The local one."

"Just go to the company. I have a special request for you."

"That's interesting. I'm looking forward to it then. Is there anything else I need to know?"

"Not at the moment. I will inform you as soon as something comes up. Your identity is quite sensitive after all."

"Okay." Theo then hung up as he wore a long-sleeved blue shirt and long black pants. This was the armor that Bernard sent not long ago. It was even accompanied by a long jacket that reached his knees for extra protection.

Although they were quite heavy, Theo had been adjusting himself with this equipment so that it wouldn't hinder his movement anymore.

Even Felix helped him to check how much the equipment could handle since he didn't want to trust it so much that he would suddenly lose his arm.

Of course, a hood had been added to the jacket because Theo needed it to protect his hair color. Although he could confuse them with his Metamorphosis, he didn't want to expose this one yet.

After preparing himself like always, Theo then met with Felix in the garden, preparing to go to pick up Isaac.

"Are you sure about this?" Theo asked.

"As long as he doesn't have any perverted intentions towards my daughter, I don't really care." Felix shrugged.

"Maybe we should get a female expert next." Theo thought for a moment.

"If you don't mind me asking, how many people do you want to have?"

"I'm not sure. It's just going to be a small group of elites… so, between 10 to 15."

"Will all of them be Mythical Rank Experts?"

"At least 10 of them must be Mythical Rank Experts," Theo explained.

"I see. That size alone is enough to make a huge company since not many organizations have that many Mythical Rank Experts." Felix nodded, giving his opinion seriously. "Though, a big company like the Star Group has at least 30 Mythical Rank Experts…"

"Yeah. But I'm going to bring you from all over the world. So, I guess it's fine?" Theo shrugged, remembering that the War God Family also had more than 20 Mythical Rank Experts.

"But it won't be easy to find people like them. There are only tens of thousands of Mythical Rank Experts around the world. In other words, only 1 out of 500,000 people can become a Mythical Rank Expert.

"And what you want is an expert like me…" Felix scratched the back of his head.

"If I become a normal person, they might leave me when a big problem comes." Theo sighed. "That's why I want someone unique because they're weird enough to follow me to the very end."

"That is indeed… true…" Felix had no words to rebuke him. He was aware that he wasn't a normal person because he definitely agreed with what Theo said.

"Anyway, the person you introduced… I'll consider it for now."

"I understand." Felix nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, it's time for us to pick up Isaac. I want you to stay hidden for the time being and eliminate anyone that wants to harm me."

"Am I not going to walk beside you?" Felix tilted his head in confusion. If he stood next to him, people would be inclined to come near him after all. 

"What are you saying? You are an assassin, you know. Why would an assassin show himself so early?" Theo sighed.

"Ah…" Felix scratched the back of his head as he couldn't refute him. He also caught the hidden meaning in Theo's words.

"Well, that's your next job, I guess… Find me someone that can be my bodyguard."

"I understand. I will try to find someone like him."

"If that's what you want, I think I can help." Millie, who had been silent until now, opened her mouth.

"Huh?" Theo and Felix were bewildered by Millie's involvement since they were talking about Mythical Rank Experts. She shouldn't have entered this kind of world yet.

"I don't know anyone, but I think I can sneak into a company's network to get some information about Mythical Rank Experts. The information about their own agents should be protected closely, but the information about other Mythical Rank Experts should be different.

"Though, they should only contain names, age, and other general information. If I get the right company, I should be able to gain many names for Mythical Rank Experts without being noticed.

"This way, I can give you some names as the candidates which you will pick and investigate later on. I'm sure this will give you a better way to find a person." Millie explained her plan. "Though, I need some equipment to do something like this."

Theo and Felix were dumbfounded, never expecting Millie to have such a solution. They exchanged looks with shocked faces before Theo turned to Millie and said, "Say no more. I'll give you the money, and you can buy anything you need."
