God of Tricksters

"Tsk." Chris clicked his tongue. "You truly brought a disaster… What is your excuse this time? If I don't think we can win, I would rather escape right now. It was you who caused the disaster, not me."

Chris' words made one frown, but he wasn't wrong. According to the agreement, Chris had this right.

That was why Theo stated, "I'm simply doing my job as an agent from the Star Group. To deal with the Black Snake Group, we need to pull the roots…"

"The roots? What the hell are you talking about?!" Chris gritted his teeth, not understanding a single thing because Theo explained in a roundabout way.

However, Jeff immediately snorted. "It means there's a connection between the Black Snake Group and this conglomerate family. The only reason he killed that man was simply to make them aware of our presence."

"What's the deal with them being aware of our presence? Now they're going to send Mythical Rank Experts to us."

"That's…" Jeff glanced at Theo. Even he didn't know the exact reason why Theo did all this.

Theo smiled and explained to them his real plan.

Jeff was the one to first drop his jaw. He simply couldn't imagine Theo had been thinking this way. Still, the most amusing reaction came from Chris.

He had been opposing Theo's idea this whole time. Yet, when Theo gave him his plan, it felt like they could turn around the situation.

In other words, Theo wasn't scared to fight against the Bolhom Family. Of course, Theo never cared about the Bolhom Family. He had messed with the Griffith Family and destroyed the Safulli Group, if Theo was still afraid of danger, there was no way Theo could do all this.

Jeff sucked a cold breath as he asked, "Are you serious about this? But we don't have enough proof, right?"

"Don't worry. I'll take care of the proof. As long as we kill the enemies that come after us today, I can deal with the rest." Theo nodded with a calm expression.

"I see." Jeff thought for a moment before nodding furiously. "No wonder. I don't think you need my help when recruiting Chris… Your brain alone is enough to fool this proud man."

"What did you say?!" Chris gritted his teeth, glaring at Jeff. Now that he was aware of Theo's plan, he couldn't rebuke Theo's action any more. It seemed that Theo had formulated the plan before provoking the enemy.

In the end, Chris' attention ended up on Jeff most of the time as he was too embarrassed to even argue with Theo.

"Now that you know the idea, let's move to a more secure place. I need Jeff to prepare some illusion traps… As for Chris, I know that you're not good at fighting. Just focus on supporting us."

"Don't look down on me." Chris pointed his finger at Felix. "Unless they're irregulars like him, I still can hold them down in a one-on-one fight."

Chris had some confidence in his power as well. Although he knew he couldn't defeat his enemy no matter what, it didn't mean the enemy could defeat him easily.

Theo nodded with a smile. "Is that so? Then, I'm counting on you. Just don't push yourself too hard."

"…" Chris now felt embarrassed when Theo acted this way. He had been confronting Theo this whole time, but Theo never bit the bait. Instead, Theo just showed him kindness like the other people from this group. He couldn't help but look away, ashamed of himself for acting childish. It was true that he was angry because Theo tricked him into joining this group, but he should act a bit wiser.

Jeff was chuckling inside when he saw Chris couldn't do anything against Theo.

"Anyway, we have some time. Please use it wisely because we're going to be busy for the next few days." Theo then glanced at Felix. "You should get some rest too…"

"No, I'm fine. Sticking with you will make the enemy think we're alone here." Felix shook his head, declining the suggestion.

"Is that so? Well, not that I mind." Theo nodded. "Alright. We will split up for a few hours. It's going to be tough for Felix because we don't have sunlight, but…"

"Please don't underestimate me. I can assure you that my power will remain the same even if it's midnight."

"I know. I'm counting on you a lot, Felix." Theo chuckled and waved his hand to Jeff and Chris. "Alright. See you guys later."

"Understood." Jeff nodded, feeling a bit envious of Felix.

After that, the group split up once more as Chris prepared some illusions to fight the enemy.

As expected from a conglomerate family, their influence spread massively. With their personnel tracking Theo down, they easily found his location. Although Theo also didn't bother to cover his track, the Bolhom Family would be able to find him sooner or later.

Luckily, they didn't have the exact description of Joker. If not, they would have realized that the enemy was actually Joker from the Star Group.

After a few hours, Felix suddenly whispered something to Theo. It seemed that their guests had arrived.

They were inside a small bar right now, and it wouldn't be wise for them to fight in a crowded area, considering there were at least four Mythical Rank Experts in here.

Hence, Theo rose from his position and left the bar. Without hesitation, Theo moved to a plain not far from the bar. With this, they should have gotten far enough from the city.

After reaching his destination, Theo closed his eyes for a moment before turning to them. "Twenty Supreme Rank Experts and three Mythical Rank Experts… Wow, you truly don't hold back."

One of the Mythical Rank Experts narrowed his eyes and said, "You, too, shouldn't have killed him. And now, it's too late to regret your decision."

"Killing him? I don't know what you're talking about. Just admit it… You're envious of me and want to kill me? Just because you're a local tyrant doesn't mean I'm going to bow my head to you guys. Do you think this number is enough to deal with me?" Theo smirked with confidence. It was as if he believed these 23 people couldn't do anything to them. At the same time, Theo didn't forget to not admit the problem. He didn't lie since Felix was the one killing them.

Since they had the support of the media, he was afraid that the enemy would come with a camera, so Theo made sure to never admit anything.

Even the enemies became even more careful since they couldn't underestimate Theo or Felix.

"It's enough to kill you." The Mythical Rank Expert smirked.

Surprisingly, Theo's reply was something they would never expect.

"You goddamn right!"

Theo simply admitted that he and Felix couldn't handle these people despite that tough front.

"Wha—" But before they could react, both Theo and Felix had turned around and started running.

"I'm here for a job, but to think I would be bullied by a local tyrant. Trashy Bolhom's dogs... Time to run!"
