God of Tricksters

After he returned, the first person that he saw was the Sword Saint. It seemed that he wanted to meet him before coming back.

When both of them stood in front of each other, the Sword Saint let out a long sigh as if he admitted defeat. "Since when have you planned all this?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Your identity."

"…" Theo fell silent for a moment.

"You're not going to play dumb?"

"Is there a reason for it?" Theo shrugged. "I've prepared for the worst since long ago, and it seems that it pays off."

"The worst, eh? Even if I didn't help you, it seemed that you had planned to take down the Death Reaper…"

Theo didn't answer him, but that was also an answer.

The Sword Saint shook his head helplessly. "I never expected that you tried to justify your identity as Joker by using the Death Reaper."

As the Sword Saint said, Joker wanted to make everyone who doubted his identity believe that Joker was a man with scars on his face.

The Death Reaper was one of the top ten experts in the world. She had Authority and eyes far sharper than almost all people in this world.

If she confirmed that Theo had no face mask or illusion, it meant that it was Theo's real face.

This way, even the Griffith Family needed to believe that Joker was that man, not Theodore Griffith.

"You really squeeze the Death Reaper's to dry." The Sword Saint closed his eyes, wondering what would happen if he was in the same position. "It seems that your Order is so unique that it can fool everyone here… even me. Is it among the Big Orders?"

"I'm sorry, Sir. I don't think I can answer that question."

"Fair enough. Your Order is your biggest secret. At least I know that someone has acquired an Order when he's a Supreme Rank Expert… I can brag to someone when you're stronger."

"Thank you… for the praise?"

"That's praise." The Sword Saint thought for a moment and said, "I think I can say it to you now. The reward that I want when participating in your scheme is for you to take care of my daughter.

"I think it's fine for me to say this now, but my daughter has an inferiority complex. It's not severe, but it's been ingrained in her heart for too long.

"That's why she's been setting one impossible goal to another even if it hurts her body. I just want you to take care of her… I want you to let her learn that there is one way to get stronger. Isn't this what you're good at?" The Sword Saint smiled and patted Theo's shoulder. "This is a request from a father. Can you do that?"

"I'll still be suspicious of her and even use her because I know she's connected to you, but I can open up a bit so that she can learn new things. As for how much she can grow, it will entirely depend on herself." Theo replied with a serious tone.

"Good enough for me. I believe in her. Thanks, Theodore Griffith." The Sword Saint smiled and turned around, walking away. "Well, I won't take too much of your time. Bye."

"Thank you for your help, Sir."

"No worries. I'm just here for my daughter… Well, also the Time God. That bastard promised to have a drink with me."

"Ahaha…" Theo chuckled, watching the Sword Saint disappear.

After that, Theo went back to the hotel and looked at the arena that had been destroyed. He immediately escaped from this place to alert the Wind Emperor earlier, so he couldn't see this fight.

Luckily, Myan-Myan had recorded it. He could watch the fight later unlike the battle between the Wind Emperor and the Death Reaper.

Speaking of the devil, Myan-Myan was actually standing outside the hotel as if she was preparing to go somewhere. It was at this time she saw him.

"!!!" Myan-Myan widened her eyes and immediately rushed to Theo to interview him, not letting this chance go away.

"Joker! Please wait!" Myan-Myan used her fastest speed to reach him and said, "Do you have time? I want to have an interview."

Theo thought for a moment and raised three fingers. "Three conditions. I want the record of the battle between the Sword Saint and the Death Reaper, you can only ask three questions about me, and I have the right whether I'll answer that question or not."

"What… That's not fair." Myan-Myan pouted.

"You're going to use the record and me to boost your popularity, right? I've been too lenient with my conditions. If you don't like it, the Sword Saint is probably the one who will call you next."

"Mya?!" Myan-Myan froze when Theo mentioned the Sword Saint. If that big figure wanted to harm her, she wouldn't be alive past tomorrow. Knowing that Theo was the one bringing such an expert to the country, she hurriedly nodded. "I accept, I accept!"

"Well, I have spare time right now. Let's do it now." Theo pressed her again, forcing Myan-Myan into the situation where she needed to come up with spontaneous questions.

"Mya?!" Myan-Myan panicked. She couldn't disobey Theo right now because of the Sword Saint, so she racked her brain while hurriedly turning on the camera. "Then, then… What is your relationship with the Sword Saint? I mean, why is Nagasawa Rea following you?"

"No comment." Theo shook his head.

"…" Myan-Myan paused for a moment. Although she was disappointed, she still asked another question. "Why do you remain in the Star Group even though the company is experiencing that turbulence?"

"The Star Group won't easily be destroyed. The reason I stay is probably similar to others. We can see more of what the Star Group has than those who have left."

"Last question… hmm… What do you think about the people who have left the Star Group?"

Theo only shrugged as he said, "Hundreds of Supreme Rank Experts leave the Star Group? And even more people below the Supreme Rank? I can replace them by myself.

"Or if you're talking about the Mythical Rank Expert, I can replace all of them by myself when I become a Mythical Rank Expert. Well, that's probably just my arrogance… So, If we're talking about the Star Group as a company…

"Isn't this situation perfect to see something that we can't see before? We know which one is loyal to the Star Group and which person is not.

"Can you say this in another way… Won't those people that betray the Star Group backstab you if the condition is right?

"At least that I can tell you this, the Star Group will become even more solid from now on. This has been proven by ourselves with the fact that three out of four S Rank Talents in the Star Group still remain in the company. That's why I believe the company will only become stronger from now on."
