God of Tricksters

The next day.

A red-haired man stood in front of the Starry Group with a nonchalant expression. He had prepared everything for today.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he went to the receptionist and handed her a letter.

The receptionist soon panicked and called their CEO as Maya personally greeted this red-haired man in front of many people. The people who watched their interaction couldn't believe Maya could be so kind and friendly.

Not long after, Maya brought the red-haired man to her own office.

However, her attitude completely changed when she shut her office door. She immediately leaned on her chair with an annoyed expression. "Seriously… Are you going to show yourself in the open now? I thought you wanted to hide here. That was why you chose the Star Group instead of my Starry Group.

"And now… you're here to work for me. I can't even understand your own thoughts… It reeks of schemes instead of money." Maya let out a long sigh, complaining to Theo.

That was right, the red-haired man was none other than Theo. He came here to set his plan in motion.

"If even you can't understand my intention, then there's no one who can." Theo shook his head, claiming with confidence.

"Still, what's wrong with you? Do you know that my company will be targeted if the Griffith Family knows about this?" Maya scratched the back of her head, feeling a headache thinking about the future.

"If you have a complaint, you can address it to your father." Theo shrugged.

"That's true. I wasn't satisfied when I complained to him last night."

"Though you should be aware of the situation, right?"

"The World Class Monster, huh. Why do they even want to break the current balance… So foolish." Maya rolled her eyes, feeling frustrated with this matter. "What I want is stability instead of fishing in troubled water… I am the CEO of a weapon company, so obviously, I supply weapons.

"But my weapons are for the normal citizens, not the military. I don't want to get too entangled in politics, you know."

Theo paused for a moment and asked, "So, why did you agree?"

"I have no choice. There's something that you need to know before this cooperation. You will be my personal bodyguard. Your job is to follow me around. Although it's true that you're going to meet many people and it's kind of troublesome, I'm sure you can learn how I do business."

"Even if I learn from you, I don't think I will be able to surpass you."

"In business? I still have my confidence in beating you, but if you use other plans, I'm going to die. Seriously." Maya waved her hand nonchalantly as if she had given up the fight before it happened.

"Anyway, I'll do whatever you want as long as you're not deliberately creating trouble for me."

"Okay. There won't be any big moves in the next six to nine months. At the very least, there's no big expansion going on, so your identity won't be exposed easily."

"Thanks."

"No problem." Maya then tossed a Skylink and said, "That device stores a few important matters, including what you should expect from this company. You should familiarize yourself with the company."

"Got it. Is there any office that I can use?"

"You're my bodyguard, so just stay in this room. Unless you're planning to do some naughty stuff…" Maya smirked.

"I won't. Don't worry."

"Tsk." Maya clicked her tongue, unsatisfied with his emotionless response. "Though, I'm wondering why you use that clone to come here instead of using it to practice?"

"Even though I can use a clone, it doesn't mean my practice speed becomes two times faster. There are a few other restrictions."

"But you're going to hunt on the other side, right?"

"Yeah. I am planning to do the mission first and level up to 600 in the next two months. After settling this matter, I'm going to spend another month reaching as far as I can before meeting you at the coast… Atlantis is going to emerge soon." Theo shrugged.

"So, you want to use this clone as a timer?"

"Not really. I'm going to use this clone to confront the World Class Monster… There's no way I'm going to put my real body before him… I'm not planning to die." Theo sighed.

"For real? Can you explain how it feels to meet a World Class Monster later? I am curious since I've never seen one."

"Nope." Theo stuck his tongue out.

"Oh come on… I am still searching for any information about Orders. I should be able to know more about them, right?"

"Just do your research. I'm not going to help you with this." Theo refused playfully.

"Fine then. I am not going to bother you anymore. Sit there and read the report." Maya pointed at the couch in her room.

"Okay." Theo followed her words and fell silent.

Meanwhile, the real Theo had gathered all the A Rank Skill Cards and B Rank Skill Cards to upgrade his skills.

He had gathered all these A Rank Skill Cards specifically since he wanted to upgrade three B Rank Skills before this mission.

Since his clone would stay with Maya for a while, he could only rely on himself during this time. Hence, it was better to get stronger.

"Still…" Theo muttered in a low voice, staring at all the Skill Cards. "Upgrading three B Rank Skills requires more than 20 billion Zils… Even for me, it's quite hard to get this much money in a short period of time. And upgrading one A Rank Skill Card to S Rank Skill Card requires at least a few hundred billion Zils… I guess I can only do it when I can kill Mythical Rank Monsters."

Theo had a headache when thinking about the future. However, he was still grateful since he was luckier than any other person in the world since he could turn all ten skills into S Rank.

As for today, the three skills that he wanted to upgrade were Blink, Metamorphosis, and Telekinesis.

Without hesitation, he poured his Magic Power and used his eyes to upgrade these three skills.
