God of Tricksters

"Oh. Congratulations."

"!!!" That word stunned everyone. They were worried sick about her, yet Theo said, 'Congratulations?' They simply couldn't believe it. There was no way Theo was so cruel to spite people like this.

"Big…" Millie looked at him in horror, remembering the scene where Theo removed her curse. She didn't want to believe that memory was fake.

Even Felix furrowed his eyebrows.

Theo sensed the tension in the air and chuckled. "Ahaha. You misunderstand everything. That's not a curse, but a blessing for her."

"A blessing? That kind of blessing?" Isaac tilted his head in confusion. The blessing in his mind was the one from the figure of the past. However, there was no reason for them to bless her right now since she had grown far too strong to even need their power.

Curious, Rea took a peek at the symbol and dropped her jaw.

"This is…"

"You know something?" Isaac asked.

"Ehm…" Rea couldn't say anything as she remembered the mark that her father had shown her. She looked at Theo in shock. "Is this what it is?"

"It seems that you've recognized it…" Theo glanced at Rea and asked, "Sword Saint?"

"Yes. Father has shown me some stuff." She nodded.

"I see." Theo nodded. "Well, just leave her like that. She will wake up sooner or later."

"You are not joking?" Isaac frowned. "What is this blessing? Is this really a blessing, not a curse? I don't understand a single thing."

"Yes. It's a blessing for her. After she wakes up, tell her to see me." Theo nodded and turned around. He muttered inwardly, 'This is truly an unexpected blessing for me. I thought two years were enough for her with that kind of skills and knowledge, but to think she achieved it this fast.'

After confirming her condition, he walked while saying, "Isaac. This time, you got another research subject."

"Another research subject?" Isaac was confused for a second before understanding the meaning behind those words. He sucked a cold breath. "She can't be…"

Unfortunately, Theo had left the room, not wanting to waste his time with this situation.

Since Theo clarified that it was a blessing instead of a curse, Felix decided to follow him.

"Felix? Do you need anything?"

"Maya is asking you to call her after you get back."

"Okay. I'll call her after this." Theo nodded.

"In that case, there is one more question." Felix looked at Theo with a solemn face.

Seeing Felix's expression, Theo turned serious and looked him in the eyes. "Okay."

"Is it possible for me to have a vacation… for a few months?"

"Alone?" Theo frowned.

"Alone," Felix confirmed without hesitation.

"…" Theo closed his eyes for a moment and asked, "For how long?"

"I am not sure. But I promise to return before the promised time."

Theo hesitated for a second but still nodded his head. "I understand. Do whatever you need to do."

"Thank you." Felix bowed until Theo returned to his room.

He never thought that the situation would turn like this. It might be due to Felix having some suspicion about Ruth's status, but it seemed Felix wanted to train himself even further. He didn't want to lose to Ruth.

"I'm truly blessed with a great group." Theo smiled, thinking, "Well, Chris won't be too much of a problem anymore. Walker is weird, but he's the type of person who will be loyal to me. That leaves Akbar…

"If someone approaches Akbar with the same promise as I do or even better, he'll abandon me easily. Or in the worst case, he might betray me for it.

"Should I go to him to handle this problem? But I haven't seen Akbar's strength. Even with this information, I don't think he will be able to achieve it at least for the next few years."

Theo muttered, thinking about the group problem. However, he did have one more problem. "That's right. With this, all ten Mythical Rank Experts have been assembled. That leaves the Supreme Rank Experts… I have one more slot open. But what kind of person do I need?"

"I don't expect them to be combat based since the fight will be extremely dangerous from now on." Theo let out a long sigh before taking out his Skylink to call Maya.

"You finally call me." Maya hurriedly picked up the call.

"Yep, what's wrong?"

"Actually, you can find it on Skynet already. Just check the news about Agata."

"Mhm?" Theo paused for a moment and opened the news at the side, understanding what she was talking about.

The son of the Skyward Guardian, Airvans Lockens, the 88th strongest man in the world, has promised to hold the biggest proposal to his loved person, Agata Mota, six months from now.

"Yeah. I see that now." Theo remained calm.

Because Maya wasn't with him in Argelia, she wasn't aware of Nella's warning. Even Rea was absent.

That was why Maya was angry to see Agata getting approached by someone else. She had recognized Agata as Theo's woman, so she was a bit annoyed to see someone want to snatch her from him.

However, she never expected Theo to be this calm as if he didn't have any feelings toward Agata.

"You didn't have any reaction?" Maya frowned.

"It's the stage she has set up for me." Theo smiled. "So, you don't need to worry about it."

"A stage?" Maya looked down, contemplating a few things. "Now that I think about it, the Skyward Guardian is the legal business that the Skyward Mercenary has. And that Skyward Mercenary is the vassal of the Griffith Family… You can't be…"

Theo smirked as his eyes started emanating his killing intent. "It's time for me to fight the Griffith Family."

Maya sucked a cold breath, realizing that Theo had planned everything. However, she felt something was wrong with this proposal. "Wait a minute. This must be a trap set up by them. If you're going there, you'll be ambushed."

Theo smirked and said, "Then, let us see who will be the winner."

"You serious?" Maya looked at Theo with a grim expression before closing her eyes as if she had made a decision. "Alright. If that's the case, I'm going to start my preparation."
