God of Tricksters

"Hahahaha!" Isaac laughed out loud as he said, "Did you see their reactions?"

Rea covered her mouth, laughing.

"You slapped them so hard." Nella grinned, teasing Rea.

"What do you mean? I'm simply telling the truth. He indeed had instructed the Star Group to move first to get more credit." Rea rolled her eyes and looked at Theo.

On the other hand, Theo maintained his calm and asked Isaac in a solemn tone. "Isaac. Are you okay?"

Isaac widened his eyes for a few seconds before scratching the back of his head. "You saw through me."

Even though most of them had diverted their attention elsewhere, people still hated Isaac for risking so many lives.

So, there was no way anyone would accept Isaac to work or even study under them. And Theo was concerned about this.

"Don't worry. I've told you back then that I'll make you my lifelong research, right? I don't need to work for anyone anymore because you've been paying me enough to last a lifetime. So, even if you disband the group, don't dismiss me, okay?"

Theo smiled and extended his hand.

Isaac shook it and even raised it so that it looked like a brother handshake.

"Still, it's been a tiring day. Do you mind if I retire right now?"

"Sure." Theo nodded gently.

Isaac waved his hand and left the tent, leaving Theo with all the girls.

"I am surprised that you could deduce this kind of situation." Rea looked at Agata with admiration.

"Just continue to work under him and complete every task. Sooner or later, you'll be able to do it." Agata winked, promoting Theo again.

"I'll do my best."

"That's right. Have you realized that he also took care of your problem?" Agata asked.

"My problem?" Rea tilted her head in confusion.

"You told him that it would be fine to follow him because the family would disown you when bad things happened, right?"

"Yes."

"After this, there is no way they can disown you anymore. After all, it means they deny all the good things you've done to this country. The people in the Skynet will be raging if they disown you."

"Ugh." Rea scratched the back of her head, never realizing this aspect. Theo's plan had been thoroughly considered.

"If you have any questions, you can ask me. I'll give you some advice whenever I can." Agata smiled.

"Thank you." Rea nodded shyly. She somehow felt too inferior to Agata. Not only her beauty but her wisdom far surpassed her.

Nella suddenly appeared from behind and pushed her cheek against her while asking, "What is this? Is this your plan? Are you trying to get close to her so that she can convince him to take you as his second wife? I will stop you."

"Ahaha…." Rea didn't agree or deny it.

"Anyway, do you want to celebrate a bit?" Agata asked. "There won't be a movement any time soon, so we should make some celebration today. Let's just eat and drink together today…"

"Here? Or do you want a night picnic?" Nella asked.

"How about outside? We can go a bit further so there won't be anyone to interrupt us."

"That's a good idea. I have many things I want to ask you, but…" Rea glanced at Theo.

Theo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't mind."

"That's great! I'll ask Coline to make us something!" Rea smiled and hurriedly left the tent.

Meanwhile, Theo asked Agata, "By the way, when are you going to leave?"

"After you. This is a rare chance that I can spend time together with you, so I want to do it for as long as I can."

"Why does sister-in-law exist in the dictionary?" Nella pouted, glaring at them.

Agata chuckled while Theo was calculating the time. "To be honest, I still have some problems to solve, but I can delegate my clone to do it."

"Problems? What kind of problems?"

"The cause of this anomaly." Theo shrugged. "Don't ask about it. It's complicated."

"Oh!" Agata nodded in understanding. "If that's the case, you don't need to think much about my request. You should focus on solving the problem instead."

"Nah, it's fine. But staying here for too long won't be good either, so I will be here for another three days."

"Alright." Agata smiled.

They continued to talk until Rea returned with a few packs of food from Coline. They then used the underground tunnel to slip outside and picked a rooftop of a building to have their own celebration.

Rea and Nella obviously offered Theo alcohol, but Theo being Theo, rejected them.

Still, they had a good time talking to each other. Nella also learned that no one seemed to be able to replace Agata in Theo's heart. She started pitying Alea at this point.

On the other hand, Rea learned some tips from Agata if she wanted to work as Theo's assistant.

"By the way, when are you going to reveal your identity?" Nella asked Theo with a serious expression. "It's truly hard to live with another identity, right? Especially when fighting since you can't bring out your full power while fighting against a more powerful person."

"A secret." Theo shrugged.

"Hehe." Agata smiled.

"Anyway, I want to—" Before Nella finished her words, there was a loud howl coming from the sky.

"Ooooo!! Here you are, Joker!"

All of them frowned and raised their heads, finding a brown-haired man falling from the sky.

They rose from the ground while releasing their Magic Power. Agata frowned, "An assassin?"

"Nooooo!" The man somehow heard Agata and replied. "I heard that you're searching for comrades! I am Maisa Walker, an S Rank Mercenary! I want to join you!"

"Huh?" Theo's eyebrows twitched as he didn't know anything about this guy.

"Maisa Walker? I was about to recommend him to you after another review. He's a unique magician, but…" Agata narrowed her eyes.

"Hoh? It's my honor. But I also want to follow those who are strong. So, let's fight!" Walker shouted and pushed his hand forward. Suddenly, five white chains came out of his arms and flew toward them. "Heihooo!"
