God of Tricksters

Theo only shrugged the moment he heard his statement.

"Well, if you don't mind, I can talk a few things about your performance." Lorenzo also immediately changed the topic, not really caring about Theo's reputation.

He believed Theo already knew what he was doing, so there was no need to say something useless.

Theo thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure."

"To be honest, you can correct me if I am wrong, but from my perspective, there are three things you can improve."

"Ho?" Theo fell silent, asking him to continue.

"The first thing you need to do is to get an assistant." He smirked. "Assistant is great because not only can they handle most of your jobs like investigation and other stuff, but they can also help you in a fight. On the other hand, you can solve their problems and become their support. This is a win-win situation.

"Many, including me, prefer having assistants from the same family because we know their capability and there's a low chance of them betraying the family and me. There is also no need for me to help them if outsiders bully them. The family name is enough to solve many problems.

"And if your assistant asks you to do something for the family, it's for the War God Family anyway, so why not? On the other hand, if your assistant is from outside the family, just reverse everything." He shrugged.

Theo looked down and said, "I kinda agree with you. Most of the plans are made by us, and they'll settle the things. This way, I can focus on my training. If my assistant is strong, I can also train together with them, so yeah…"

"Yeah. You can already see the benefits. Well, I do say there are also disadvantages since you need to take care of them, but the benefits easily outweigh them." Lorenzo nodded in agreement, persuading Theo to have an assistant.

"I will think about it first."

"Yeah. It's not easy to find one since you are not familiar with this family. I want to offer you one, but I believe you're gonna reject it because she may be my spy working under you, so I won't do something like this." Lorenzo smiled and raised two fingers. "Alright. Moving on to the second piece of advice.

"I can see that you're already good at manipulating the battlefield. Now, what you need to do is to make a connection. As you already know, the War God Family is filled with strategists… This also means they're better than most people in killing you.

"You need to have an eye outside the family, monitoring certain people. As for the inside, I don't think anyone will side with you voluntarily. Even I would like to have a good friendship with you for benefits in the future. But yeah, it is not my main concern right now, so I just want to let you know about this.

"I don't feel like deceiving you when the time comes, so take this as my warning for you about myself." Lorenzo chuckled. "Anyway, you need to make connections inside and outside the family. Despite becoming a member of the War God Family, you are not planning to stay here, right?

"In that case, having an outside influence can be the umbrella if something happens. You can take refuge while helping them to the best of your abilities as repayment.

"Unless you're chased by the entire War God Family, I think it's enough to hide in a big influence with several Mythical Rank Experts. If Father or Grandfather chases after you, there's nothing I can do. Well, the situation is unlikely, so yeah, you don't need to think much about it.

"Last but not least, I want to remind you to take advantage of overseas missions. Although most of our missions come from locals, if you have an overseas mission, you should take it. You will learn so much there.

"To be honest, I prefer changing the reward to learn something from them, like their special abilities or something. You can also bring your assistant with you to do tasks like this and double the number if they're from the same family.

"That's all. I can't say anything regarding your fighting ability because your fighting style is already above mine. I simply can't comprehend them. I can only ask you not to focus on Control alone." Lorenzo shrugged.

"Hmm… They are pretty useful advice. Thanks."

"No problem. You gave me some insights as well, so we're even." Lorenzo smiled and remembered something. "That's right. After getting the video for this competition, I'm planning to review it. Do you want to do it together? If not, I can contact you about my views. In exchange, you give me your opinion as well."

"I would rather focus on my training, so I don't think I can go out. However, using a few minutes on my break to do stuff like that is possible. Yeah, I prefer the latter." Theo replied, not rejecting his idea.

"That's great. Once again, I am Lorenzo Guerrero." He extended his hand.

Now that he had recovered a bit, Theo shook his hand firmly. "I am Theodore Griffith. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too!" Lorenzo nodded before turning his head, finding a car coming toward them.

When the car door was opened, Felice came out, only to be bewildered by Lorenzo and Theo's actions.

"Oh, Felice! You have come." Lorenzo was oblivious to the situation and introduced Theo. "Here, I have a new friend. He's Theodore Griffith."

"…" Felice's eyebrows twitched as she said, "Master… That guy is shrewd."

"What is this sudden hostility?" Lorenzo tilted his head in confusion. "Ah, you were the one Theo defeated? Don't mind. It's better to learn from him than hold a grudge."

Felice sighed and rolled her eyes away.

"This is her. Normally, she is very caring and understanding, but her words are a bit sharp. She just can't be honest." Lorenzo chuckled.

Felice returned to the car without saying a single word before the car suddenly turned back and left.

"Wait, what?!" Lorenzo was surprised at first and hurriedly chased the car. His head turned back as he said his last piece to Theo. "I will send you my contact details later! Bye, Theo!"

Before Theo said anything, Lorenzo had already used his Teleportation Ability to send himself inside the car.
