God of Tricksters

Their training had just begun. Theo continued in his pursuit of the strongest killing intent like Goddess Hel.

Of course, he didn't abandon his Control and his other senses. However, after learning from Leonardo, more doors had been opened for him.

Agata also poured all her time into training and becoming a better assistant. She even learned how to manage the household, starting from the information network to businesses.

She realized that the more knowledge she got, the more she noticed how foolish she was in the past.

If she could travel to the past, she wanted to tell her past self to study more and learn all kinds of knowledge. Her option could increase, and she didn't need to rely solely on power.

Theo had shown her how he could create such a ruckus with just a single picture of him and Nella.

It turned out Theo had analyzed the current political power in the world and calculated how it would impact them. That was why she sacrificed her sleep in order to become better.

If someone asked her whether it was harsh or not serving Theo, she would definitely say it was difficult. Nevertheless, she never regretted serving him because she could improve drastically in a short period. It was a chance that would never come twice.

With all this knowledge, she felt she managed to understand Theo's thought process a little bit better.

At the same time, Theo had told her not to overwork herself. He could do all this because he received Leonardo's training too. He never bothered to look at all this when he was in Thersland, thus doing a horrible job on Loki's mission.

On the other hand, unlike Agata's hard-working attitude, they often found Ava sleeping more every day. Her action perplexed Theo, so he asked Ava to check her condition.

It turned out sleeping was similar to meditation for her, allowing her to understand the concept of her own power.

When she showed how her strength had improved leaps and bounds, Theo didn't say another word. Instead, he bought all sorts of meats, so Ava could increase her level while practicing inside the mansion.

In the end, Theo hired a chef to cook for Ava, giving her a better time to practice.

While they were training peacefully, the world had a great movement.

The former head of the Griffith Family, Theo's grandfather, clashed with the Wind Emperor.

Their fight occurred on the other side, and the result wasn't that great because they stopped after a while to avoid sustaining any injuries.

Still, that single fight managed to turn a mountain into a lake. The information was locked by the Griffith Family, but Theo received a message from the Wind Emperor.

He told her that there would be no grudge between the Czar and Theodore Griffith anymore. If Theo still harmed the Czar, he didn't mind paying a visit to Theo himself.

Theo could understand his message and respected him because the fight might not last that long, but it certainly caused another big movement.

Because their clash was extremely dangerous, one of the Griffith Family's vassals, the Orel Group, had separated themselves from the Griffith Family.

They were among the most powerful families in Ukraine, so it was quite a big blow to the Griffith Family as their influence over Europe had decreased significantly.

For the elder faction, this was an insult to their honor. For Ray's faction, this was a necessary sacrifice to clean up the Griffith Family.

However, this also created huge chaos inside the Griffith Family and forced Ray to go hiding despite being the current family head.

Unlike when he had Theo, now that he had some control over the family, Ray didn't hesitate to use the Griffith Family itself to cover his track, making it impossible to locate him. He brought his wife and Nella Griffith to hide, ensuring that the next leader of the Griffith Family wasn't under anyone's control.

At the same time, the elder faction also declared their own successor.

When Leonardo heard about this information, he didn't tell Theo any of his insight.

He realized that Valerie's plan was indeed to make Theo hate them and the Griffith Family.

She believed that Theo's talent was enough to shake the foundation of the Griffith Family. And the reason why Ray accepted the position was to make all preparations so when the time Theo struck the Griffith Family, they could amplify its effect from the inside.

This was a horrible move to the son, so Leonardo thought he shouldn't say anything to Theo and let him get his own thoughts regarding this move. What he learned from this was that Valerie and Ray seemed to have a massive grudge against the family that they didn't mind destroying the entire Griffith Family.

He didn't understand the reason but he wasn't going to say anything about it. All he did was continue living like usual, treating Theo as his grandson and teaching him with all the knowledge so he could do what he wanted.

For the time being, Theo didn't make another move even though it was a great chance to take advantage of the chaotic situation to deal more damage to the Griffith Family.

This turned out to be the advice from Leonardo. He made sure Theo wasn't obsessed with the Griffith Family and forgot some other influences and countries were aiming at him.

So, him not doing anything created doubts in those people's hearts, stopping them from doing anything.

As Leonardo's advice, those people waited and kept observing Theo's next move, thinking Theo was preparing another plan to deal with the Griffith Family.

However, in reality, Theo was enjoying his life and continued getting stronger. He never bothered himself with the Griffith Family after that picture.

Theo was just following Leonardo's advice to do the exact opposite of what other people wanted him to do. After all, they would keep speculating until they got their answer.

This was the psychological warfare that Leonardo taught Theo as this technique allowed Leonardo to enjoy his life while making other people fear him without even doing anything.

Theo obviously didn't hesitate to use it to his advantage.
