God of Tricksters

"Well, we've arrived," said Ryo while walking in the front. Due to him not being able to protect Theo when the assassin attacked, he had been quite depressed, thinking he wasn't useful at all despite Theo convincing him that everything was his plan.

Even so, Ryo took the responsibility to his heart. This blunder almost made him pay for it with his own life.

Looking at Ryo's serious attitude, Theo considered bringing him here.

"By the way, are you alright with this, Fel—I mean, Xile? Your power is light, right? The auction is held during the night." Rea asked with a serious expression. She didn't want to be a burden on this team, so she wanted to make sure that everything was ready and according to plan.

"Don't worry. Light doesn't necessarily mean sunlight." Felix nodded coolly. He really looked like a reliable teammate to have.

"But where do we go right now? To get the identity, we need to go to this location." She narrowed her eyes while looking at the map given by the military.

"Yes. If that's the case, then we should rest in a hotel near that place."

"I have booked a room for us." Rea nodded. "Because of the auction this time, there is danger looming around, so I only book one room."

"Are you sure you're alright to stay with all of us?" Ryo asked politely. Both of them came from the same country, so Ryo needed to respect Rea because she was the daughter of the Sword Saint.

"Yes. I'm fine staying with others. Both of you are parents and he…" Rea glanced at Theo and sighed as if there was no hope of even coming closer to Theo.

"I mean, are you comfortable enough to sleep in one room?" Ryo asked, worried about her like she was his daughter.

"It's fine. I don't move around too much in my sleep. Besides, it's safer this way." Rea nodded.

Despite talking like this in the open, no one noticed them because none of them looked popular. Theo had become a blond-haired man this time. Of course, he also excluded a body aura that looked like a Mythical Rank Expert to scare other people off.

Rea, Ryo, and Felix had their own disguises formed by Theo's power, allowing them to be able to stay in the open without bothering people.

"Have the preparation finished?" Theo asked Felix mysteriously even though Rea was the one handling all the matter.

Felix nodded with a serious expression, causing Rea to misunderstand that Theo believed in Felix more than her. It was true, but this was her area, so it felt a bit hurt not when Theo didn't rely on her.

"Don't forget that you're going to experience hell after this." Theo turned to Rea.

Rea gulped down. She had heard about his plan to train her personally. She thought this was a good chance because Agata told her that every time Theo brought her for training, the benefits were enormous. No matter how hard it was, she needed to continue following him.

That was why Rea agreed to this training and even promised him that she wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

As soon as they had come to an agreement, Ryo then called a taxi so they could go to their hotel. The meeting was in the evening, not long before the auction.

The city looked bustling like normal, but Theo could see many Mythical Rank Experts gathering in this country. Some soldiers had been stationed too, trying to make sure that the auction didn't cause too much destruction.

Theo wore a white suit to match his blond hair, giving him an elegant aura. He smiled gently while fixing his collar.

"You…" Rea walked to him with a wry smile. She didn't realize it previously, but Theo had always created a handsome face every time he used a face-changing ability. "Why are you always so handsome?"

"Huh?" Theo tilted his head, looking at Rea who was wearing a short red dress to make her easier to move. Even her heels weren't that high. She shouldn't have some trouble moving around with this getup. Still, he couldn't deny that he had made a beautiful woman with his power. Theo chuckled and said, "Why not? Won't I look good if I'm handsome?"

"That's true, but…" Rea shook her head as she already knew that arguing with Theo was useless.

"In his case, it's easier for him to deceive people if he's handsome, especially little fan girls," said Felix while walking to them. He also wore a tuxedo since this was a big auction. They needed an appropriate suit for such a situation. No one would think that Felix was a highly regarded assassin.

And last but not least, Ryo accompanied them with a suit that barely fit his muscles. Among them, he looked like the bodyguard the most.

"Is everyone ready then?" Theo smiled and nodded. "Let's go then. We can't be late for the party."

The group nodded their heads and moved to the designated location where they could get their identity to enter the auction.

Due to the level of the auction, there was indeed a need for identity to avoid letting small fries come in.

The location was only a few minutes away, and the group reached the place in time.

It was just a shabby house on the outskirts. Even so, it still looked decent from the outside, making it not stand out. This was indeed a perfect place for a serious operation.

Theo knocked on the doors five times in a rhythm as the password.

Suddenly, a young woman with a dress came out with a smile and opened the door for them. "Hello. I have been waiting for you. Please come in."

Theo nodded and entered the house. From the looks of it, they looked like they were visiting a friend for a party.

However, it was more than that.

As soon as he entered, he saw a huge living room with three people inside.

There was a middle-aged man who sat down on the middle couch and smiled at them. "Welcome. We've been waiting for you."
