God of Tricksters

"I just want to warn you that the Skyward Mercenary has a man called Airvans Lockens, the 88th strongest man in the world."

When they heard Nella's words, Rea was the first to react. "Airvans Lockens, the 88th strongest man in the world. He is known as a Liquid Controller. It's said that he can manipulate all water in the world, including the one in your body. He is a dangerous man."

"So, they're aiming for my life?" Agata narrowed her eyes, wondering how she should solve this situation.

"No. They're, perhaps, gonna harass you. The reason is simple…"

"To bring him out eh?" Agata glanced at Theo. If Nella didn't say anything about this, they might fall into their plans.

"Yes. He has a super annoying son… Basically, a home wrecker, a lecher, a pervert… He is a perfect guy to draw him out." Nella nodded while pointing at Theo.

"Hoh?" Theo narrowed his eyes, wondering if he should just kill this person.

Nella immediately shut her mouth, knowing that Theo was pissed.

Meanwhile, Agata smiled at Theo and said, "Don't reveal yourself yet. Keep getting stronger. I'm not so weak that I need your protection all the time. If he comes, I'm going to handle it myself. At the very least, I can employ a few of your tricks and wait until you reach the Mythical Rank. Do you think you can handle Airvans Lockens after that?"

Theo closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath to calm his heart down. His tone became solemn as he nodded. "Yeah."

Agata smirked. "In that case, let me handle him. I already told you before. I'm not going to be an accessory."

Theo clenched his fists and nodded. "I understand. Please take care of him."

"Hehe. I'm going to set the stage for you. Go with a huge blast when that happens."

"En." Theo nodded.

"Still…" Agata jumped to his embrace and hugged him tightly. "It's truly been a while…"

Theo didn't reject her. In fact, he also hugged her, sharing his longing.

"So, it's real." Rea sucked a cold breath while shaking her head helplessly. "No wonder why Joker has never fallen for my lucky bastard schemes."

"You do admit that?" Ergene glanced at her.

"My father's directions. Though, I stopped after learning about his identity." Rea looked away, feeling embarrassed.

"Heh? I have prepared myself for the appearance of the second spot, you know." Agata made a sly grin as if teasing them. "I mean, his clone is so real that… Ahem…"

"What are you saying?" Theo shook his head helplessly.

"Sister Agata! It's nice to meet you." Nella was the first to act, but Agata chuckled and said playfully, "Though, he is a man with integrity. If he can't share me with another man, then he doesn't want me to share with another woman. That's why I love him. It even makes me a bit greedy."

"No way!" Nella pouted before spitting, "In that case, I need to tell you that you shouldn't show your affection in public."

"Jealous?" Agata smirked, teasing Nella.

"No, I'm just worried that Alea is going to make a fuss with it. Don't forget that the Eilric Family is neutral right now. Suppose they use this farce as a reason. In that case, they can act together with the Griffith Family since they can promise that they can make Alea conceive his child after capturing you. You know that it's possible… They're going to do it even if both parties reject that idea." Nella shrugged.

"Be careful that the Eilric Family will become your enemy. They don't have top experts, but they do have twenty Mythical Rank Experts. With the additional support of the Skyward Mercenary and the main Griffith Family, they can mobilize 60-70 Mythical Rank Experts. Luckily, the Orel Group has separated themselves or you will be fighting against 100 Mythical Rank Experts."

Rea sucked a cold breath as she said, "Now I can see why even huge countries are afraid of the Griffith Family. They're indeed one of the biggest hidden families. Even superpower countries only have five hundred Mythical Rank Experts at most… And a hidden family like them has twenty percent of the entire country's strength. And there is the fact that they're a hidden family specializing in espionage, not full combat."

"They're indeed scary." Agata nodded before smirking. "How about a date right now?"

"Did you hear what I said right now?" Nella's eyebrows twitched.

"I know, but…" Agata released her pink smoke and turned it into a drill as she excavated a human-size hole on the ground. "We can leave this place with this tunnel."

"I mean, they'll feel your power…"

"You haven't realized it yet? Oh wait, you focus on Control, so I guess you haven't realized it. If you check with your Awareness, you'll realize that you can't feel anything. In other words, this mist can block your Awareness, allowing us to move through the ground without getting found out." Agata stuck her tongue out.

"That's…" Nella somehow had no words to rebuke her.

'Assistant huh…' Rea thought while looking at Agata. She realized that if she continued studying under Theo, she would be able to reach Agata's level. It was clear that she was stronger, but Agata's resourcefulness and thought process were indeed far different from her.

If Agata was planning something, she might lose against her. She looked at her as the former assistant, thinking if she could learn from her.

"Hehe, how is it, Sister… I mean, Sister-in-law?" Agata couldn't help but want to tease her this whole time.

"Alright, alright." Theo nodded in agreement.

"How about our appearances?"

"It can be fixed easily," Theo assured her. "Though, we can't be outside for too long. It'll be too suspicious."

"I know." Agata smiled. Even though she was a bit reluctant to be separated again, she needed to agree with him because of the situation.

"Ehm, before you go…" Rea suddenly rose from her seat and asked Agata, "Do you mind if I ask you a few things… later?"

"Sure. I heard that you're his current assistant. It must be a hard job, eh? He delegates every task he can…"

"Well…" Rea couldn't deny it.

"But I can assure you that each task has a purpose behind it. Just continue doing your tasks with your best, and you'll soon realize that you've improved so much. For example, I'm pretty sure he is sending you to the press conference tomorrow… I need to remind you that humans are a piece of shit. As someone from a famous family, I'm sure that you can keep your calm, but they're going to target one specific area that will frustrate you." Agata glanced at him. "But keep calm because he's going to do something, right?"

Theo looked away before snapping his fingers. Their appearances soon changed, and no one could feel any Magic Power from it like an illusion.

After that, Agata waved her hand playfully as she led Theo through the hole for their small date.
