God of Tricksters

Since the meeting was adjourned, the rest of the people soon left the room to talk about what happened. Even Feng Hao didn't stay to chat with the rest of the people.

His expression was cold and aloof. No one could figure out what he thought when he was like this.

Zhao Jia noticed Feng Hao and immediately left to meet him. She had a serious expression as if she was trying to discern Feng Hao's real intention.

Noticing her presence, Feng Hao stopped and glanced back. His aloof expression was replaced by his usual smile. "What's wrong, Jia Jia? Do you want to ask me to teach you again?"

"…" Zhao Jia wanted to smack him again for calling her by her nickname, but she managed to calm herself. She took a deep breath before asking, "What is your real intention? There's no way you only want the meeting to rethink their decision. The fact that you're wasting people's time means… No, you are actually buying time. For what?"

"As expected of my disciple, it seems that you have learned a lot from me." Feng Hao nodded with a smug.

"Answer me!"

"You shouldn't be too hard-headed and cold. How many times have I told you this? You won't be able to get married, you know."

"Don't worry. I'm not planning to marry anyone. So, answer me." Zhao Jia squinted her eyes while clenching her fists.

"Not planning to marry? I'm afraid that's not your decision anymore." Feng Hao smirked.

Zhao Jia frowned. She was the youngest Transcendent Level Mythical Rank Expert, so it was clear that no one could force her to do anything. However, there were actually two people that had this kind of authority. The first one was the president. The second one was the man before her.

"You…can't be." Zhao Jia suddenly understood the hidden meaning behind those words. With her status and current age, she was suitable for Theo. Political marriage was one of the oldest tricks in the book for a long-lasting relationship. If they could force Theo to marry in exchange for support, the previous hatred between them would be solved.

At the same time, Theo now needed allies the most, so they had to do it before anyone tried.

That was why Feng Hao said those words.

However, Feng Hao contradicted himself with the next thing he said. "That's just me joking. There's no way we can force you to marry someone you don't want to. You are the youngest among the four, you know."

"You…" Zhao Jia truly wanted to smack him. He always teased her at every chance he had. After so long, she started hating the constant tease.

"Hahahaha! Of course, it's not like what you're thinking. The reason we can't force you is not because of your status, but his opinion."

"Huh? Do you mean I'm not worthy?"

"This is why I like to tease you. You didn't want to get married, but when your opinion changed, you questioned me whether you were worthy or not. It's amusing to tease you." Feng Hao chuckled.

"Kh." Zhao Jia gritted her teeth.

"Well, I shouldn't be here for too long. I only have three days to drink with Ken." Feng Hao chuckled.

"You… Stop! I haven't finished yet!"

"What more do you want to talk about?" Feng Hao smirked as if he already knew that there was nothing Zhao Jia wanted to ask.

Even she was completely speechless and tried hard to find a question. After a few seconds, she finally got another question. "How much have you calculated?"

"Haha, that's the question you come up with? Well, I guess I'll answer your question with one warning. One is the number for destruction, two is the number for connection, and three is the number you have to be worried about."

"Huh?" Zhao Jia was completely stunned, not understanding a single thing about that warning. She wondered what he meant by those numbers.

While she was confused, Feng Hao turned around, planning to leave.

"Wait!" Zhao Jia wanted to stop him again, but Feng Hao ignored her as he disappeared, leaving a yin-yang mark on the floor.

"One… Two… Three…" Zhao Jia furrowed her eyebrows, completely not understanding the warning. It was simply too random and general.

"No. He is not someone who gives a random warning, despite his constant teasing. What do these three numbers represent?" Zhao Jia recalled every information she had. "Knowing him, those numbers should be related to himself, specifically his actions. Then…"

She was contemplating hard to understand the clues Feng Hao had given her. "He must have calculated something… Related to these three numbers. One is destruction… What does he mean by one?"

Zhao Jia recalled the meeting and tried to figure out Feng Hao's action.

"Wait a minute. One… Does one mean one minute? Did he use one minute to suppress the others while playing around before eventually reaching his seat? Does that mean he's using that one minute to avoid the destruction?

"No. The destruction is absolute. So, he redirects the destruction from something huge to the destruction of the meeting's atmosphere. By releasing his power, he's buying time for exactly one minute.

"That's right. If we follow this route, two means the two hours we have wasted in the meeting. He must have calculated that if we didn't waste two hours, we wouldn't even consider his opinion.

"That's why he waited for two hours before giving his opinion. That's the time we need to completely consider his words as well as the appearance of the one who gives the news. That's the basics of connection! In other words, he's guiding us to the connection with the number two.

"Then the number three…" She fell silent because the number three was obvious. The first one was minute, the second one was hour, so the third one was day. In other words, the third answer was, "Three days! The exact time to hold the next meeting. So, he already knows that the president will reschedule the meeting. And I have to worry about this next meeting… What should I worry about?

"He's going to Japan right now when our current situation revolves around Theodore Griffith… Shouldn't he go there if he wants to play around? No, wait…" Zhao Jia realized something and immediately called someone. She said, "Get me all the planes' passengers' names in the last three hours. I need all of them to be investigated and tell me if they're connected to the Heavenly Sovereign in any way!"

After giving that message, Zhao Jia gritted her teeth. "How much Divine Power did he use to calculate the future this time? Heavenly Sovereign."
