God of Tricksters

As the original Theo predicted, the news soon spread.

'Theodore Griffith is visiting Japan.'

'Is he visiting the Sword Saint or the Heavenly Sovereign?'

'What is his purpose in visiting this country?'

The headlines were enough to confuse all of them. While Theo was working in the open, the Griffith Family had been making preparations in the shadows. They all had their own plans and believed they could succeed.

As for who would win, no one would know. Only those who were aware of their plan would be able to determine the situation.

And Theo was immediately greeted by the same Mythical Rank Expert that once guided him when he visited Japan, Masafumi Shinoda.

Since Theo's visit this time had a clear goal, Shinoda didn't beat around the bush and immediately brought him to the Sword Saint, albeit they ended up going to a golf park, finding the Sword Saint and the Heavenly Sovereign playing golf together.

"What the hell?" Theo muttered inwardly after seeing a middle-aged man and a young man standing next to each other, brimming with energy.

"Watch this." The Sword Saint raised his golf stick and covered it with Magic Power, infusing it with his own Order. His expression turned serious as he struck the ball as if he cut it.

However, the extraordinary Magic Power in his stick didn't cut it. The ball flew like normal, but they soon realized that the sword strike actually cut the wind restriction and it would only stop until it reached a certain distance. When the sword strike disappeared, the golf ball started falling down and directly headed straight to the hole.

"Hole in one. See that?" The Sword Saint smirked.

"Do you think you can defeat me like that?" The Heavenly Sovereign snorted. While he was preparing to hit the ball, trigrams appeared underneath them as if calculating everything.

"Angle 42 degrees. Height 20 meters. Direction, northwest." The Heavenly Sovereign muttered a few things before he hit the ball without transferring his power into the ball.

The ball curved and was carried by the wind until it reached the hole without any bounces like the Sword Saint.

It was another hole in one.

"Don't be proud yet because you still can't defeat me." The Heavenly Sovereign snorted.

"Then, let's see who misses first!" The Sword Saint narrowed his eyes, challenging him.

However, they soon stopped and glanced to the side, finding Theo and Shinoda waiting for them to notice.

"Oh? Isn't this Theo? What's up? You usually called me instead of visiting me directly." The Sword Saint smirked.

"Hoho… It seems that this brat is rather daring. To even show himself in front of me." The Heavenly Sovereign smirked, looking down on Theo as if he could kill him at any time.

"Oi. This is my country." The Sword Saint narrowed his eyes, planning to make a move if the Heavenly Sovereign dared to touch Theo.

"I know, I know." The Heavenly Sovereign shrugged. He turned to Shinoda and said with a cold tone. "Consider yourself dismissed."

"That's…" Shinoda had a troubled face. On the one hand, he wasn't strong enough to do anything if the Heavenly Sovereign decided to make a move. On the other hand, he couldn't afford to leave Theo alone, exposing him to danger.

"Just leave." The Sword Saint sighed, agreeing with the Heavenly Sovereign.

"This guy must be his clone. No one dares to appear before me with their real body if they're still my enemy. That's why there's no need for you to be here. Even if I kill him, his real body should still be in Italy." The Heavenly Sovereign explained in contempt as if getting disappointed by his slow thinking.

However, Shinoda wasn't his subordinate. If someone could make him leave, it would be the Sword Saint. Since the latter had asked him to leave, Shinoda politely bowed his head and finally left them alone.

As soon as they couldn't see Shinoda anymore, the Heavenly Sovereign smirked at Theo, asking. "Do you play golf? Seeing you're still too young, you must be thinking about training the whole time. Come and enjoy playing golf. If you can't get a hole in one, you have to buy us a drink."

"…" The Sword Saint glanced at the Heavenly Sovereign, frowning upon this action. The Heavenly Sovereign wasn't usually this carefree in front of his enemies. Hence, the only reason why the Heavenly Sovereign acted this way must be related to Theo's action.

Theo had told him that he would take care of his biggest enemy and turn them into an ally. It seemed he had succeeded.

"I can't play golf." Theo shook his head.

"That's it. It means you're going to buy us a drink."

"No way. I don't drink." Theo shrugged.

"In that case, your only option is a hole in one. Less than that, I won't be listening to you." The Heavenly Sovereign smirked, acting like a child despite his age to be similar to the Sword Saint.

"If you're using your ability, playing golf is easy." Theo sighed and snapped his finger.

Suddenly, a ball appeared right on top of the hole and entered the hole. "See?"

"…" The Sword Saint was speechless while the Heavenly Sovereign objected to it. "No, no, no. You can't do it that way. You have to hit it with a stick."

Theo summoned a golf stick and a ball before hitting it. The ball soon vanished and reappeared on top of the hole.

"There you go. Vanishing ball." Theo sighed.

"…" The Sword Saint remained silent, knowing that Theo's shamelessness knew no bounds.

"You know what you are doing right now is basically courting death." The Heavenly Sovereign's expression darkened.

The Sword Saint was ready to make a move if the Heavenly Sovereign decided to attack Theo.

However, the next thing that he did was completely dumbfounded him.

"That's good. Our alliance alone is basically walking to death itself. If you don't even dare to do something like that, I have to rethink my decision." The Heavenly Sovereign winked his right eye.

"…" Once again, the Sword Saint remained silent.
