God of Tricksters

"It's fine."

"Still…" Nella covered her face. "I don't know whether I should be happy or sad this time. You rejected me using my own mouth…"

Theo didn't say anything while Nella found something in that sentence. "It seems you already have someone…"

"En." Theo nodded.

"Your assistant?" Nella asked again, recalling Agata. "I mean, her? Well, you have spent most of your time under one roof…"

"Enough with my love story."

"I guess... Then one last thing, congratulations. I guess the hardship doesn't break you from the possibility of having a family."

"No. She restored it." Theo shook his head.

"Oh…" Nella finally understood why Agata won his heart. "Well, I'll just take my own victory as the only person you can consider a family from the Griffith Family… What should I call myself? Hmm… I'm younger than you, so I'm the little sister?"

"I don't really care about that. Nothing will change anyway."

"That's true."

"Anyway, let's talk about something else, shall we?"

"Sure."

Theo and Nella had a good chat for an hour, talking about various things. She was just happy with the fact that Theo was still alive. As someone she idolized and respected from when she was young, Theo's figure had a special place in her heart.

On the contrary, Theo wanted to know more about the Griffith Family and how they worked. After all, this family would be his greatest enemy in the future. He needed to know as much as he could.

Nella didn't hesitate to provide all the things he wanted.

After they finished, Nella finally left for the airport, catching a flight. There was a big smile on her face, much different than the one she showed back when she first met him.

Theo also smiled and took his time in the restaurant before going back to the hotel.

It seemed Chris, Ergene, Jeff, and Felix had been waiting for him.

"How is it?" Jeff asked.

"Yes. They all have been taken care of. All that is left is the recruitment." Theo informed them.

"Then our destination has been determined. Japan!" Jeff felt excited as this was the time he would shine.

"Anyway, I've started the process. Where should I live in the US? Do you want me to purchase a home there? To be honest, I don't mind moving to your house…" Ergene raised her hand.

"Mhm." Theo thought for a moment. "Well, I do have a plan to get a base soon, but I guess my power is not enough for now."

"I don't really mind spending some money, but how about I stay with you instead? I heard Felix and his daughter, as well as another boy, are living with you, right? It shouldn't be much of a problem if I live with you, no?" Ergene asked.

"That's true. But I'm just afraid that the people after you are going to choose the same thing." Theo scratched the back of his head.

"You can use my mansion." Jeff broke his silence, offering a solution.

"Well…" Ergene suddenly hesitated. She looked at Theo and said, "To be honest, I was amazed by your performance on the battlefield. This is the first time I've seen someone that can see this far ahead. That's why the reason I want to move in is because I want to learn from you, specifically your tactics."

"I guess that's fine. It's not like we're going to have another you." Theo nodded. "Besides, the mansion will be more protected since I can choose to go with you or Felix."

"Yes. Leave it to me." Ergene agreed without hesitation.

"Your mansion will be the backup plan, Jeff." Theo thanked Jeff for offering the solution.

"Don't worry. I have three mansions to be honest. The one with the art gallery is the one I use. The other two are my vacation villas. So, you can use them however you like since I'm waiting for our base." Jeff smiled.

"Okay." Theo smiled. It would probably take a while since he was planning to create the base when he had reached the fifth stage of the Reality Order, Reality Alter.

The Covenant Seal could produce energy suitable for the Order. The Dark Poison Swamp utilized the Covenant Seal to convert the Magic Power in the air into poison, turning themselves into a fortress.

Theo was planning to do the same with his Covenant Seal. By using the energy provided by the Covenant Seal, he planned to create a house and other stuff, creating a small world that Jeff painted.

"Anyway, I'm going to recruit our next teammate. I might send him to one of your mansions, Jeff."

"Got it. I'll inform the maid to clean up the mansion later."

"As for you guys…" Theo glanced at Felix's arm that seemed to have been healed. "Felix and Chris will go back as planned. Thank you for your help in this mission. Ergene… I also want you to do one thing for me."

"And that is?" Ergene furrowed her eyebrows.

"Can you make sure that the Bolhom Family lose their way out?"

"Do you mean I need to kill them?"

"No. I just want to make sure they stay in jail for a long time."

"Oh? That's an easy task. Even without me, Commander Okho will do it. He's a righteous man after all. However, I can oversee the entire situation for you."

"Thanks. I don't want them to create more trouble for me anytime soon. Well, killing is nice, but sometimes suffering is more suitable for my enemies. And even if they're out, I should have no problem erasing them."

"Now that I think about it, you're younger than me, right? How old are you? You can have this prowess and that brain… your talent is simply far above me." Ergene asked.

"Isn't that rude to ask a man's age?" Theo looked at her weirdly.

"Shouldn't I be the one who was supposed to say that?" Ergene's eyebrows twitched.

The group chuckled before Theo settled the rest of the matter before going to Japan with Jeff.
