God of Tricksters

"Good day to you, Sir." Theo smiled, looking at this brown-haired middle-aged man. His face still looked like he was in his early thirties with no wrinkles yet.

He didn't grow a beard just to make him look a bit younger. His gaze was gentle, like a loving father, but Theo knew those eyes were currently judging him.

"Yes. This must be our first meeting, right?"

"Indeed." Theo nodded with a smile. "I am thankful for your help in getting those glasses."

"It's fine, it's fine. My daughter is in your care, so as her father, I should provide her and her teacher, you, with everything you need. This is all I can do to support her." He paused for a moment. "I have heard from my daughter that you want to talk about something important to me."

"Yes. You should be the only one to know because it's going to be an important part. After listening to the situation, I have decided to help your family in eliminating the Safulli Group." Theo smiled.

The man widened his eyes as he never expected Theo to get involved in this matter. He scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression. "This… Did Agata tell you?"

"Nope. I learned it accidentally." Theo openly showed his displeasure.

"I apologize. If you want to blame someone, I will take responsibility for her actions. After all, I was the one who asked her to keep this a secret.

"Although I believed in your power, I didn't want you to get entangled in this matter. You could do it with the Czar and the Griffith Family, but you should get more enemies because of this. You're currently safe right now, but if you show your brilliance again, you're going to make more enemies.

"That's why I don't want to have my daughter's benefactor and the one she loves to receive this backlash because of this problem. If that offends you in any way, I would like to apologize."

Theo shook his head and said, "Enemies, huh… That's indeed something I am always afraid of. After all, I won't know they're my enemies until they openly show their aggression.

"However, I am here to train to make sure that doesn't happen. That's why I am not scared of making enemies anymore. I just don't like something that I have built so far to be destroyed without me knowing the reason."

"I see." Agata's father, Boris, nodded with a serious expression. "I can understand that. At the very least, I am thankful that you are taking my daughter seriously."

Theo shrugged. "Anyway, let's move on to the important topic, shall we?"

"Sure if that's what you want." Boris smiled and asked, "What do you want me to know?"

"First of all, your Pata Corporation is going to undergo a great change with my plan." Theo smiled, stating the most crucial part.

"You truly don't like to beat around the bush, aren't you?"

Theo didn't say anything, implying that they should continue to talk about this.

Knowing his intention, Boris stated without hesitation. "I don't mind."

"Hmm?" Even Theo was surprised. Pata Corporation was supposed to be the backbone of the Mota Family's finance, so it was quite surprising to see Boris agree to this easily. "Are you sure?"

"As you might already know, this company is my biggest strength. However, this is also the best place to attack us."

"Do you mean…" Theo squinted his eyes, suspecting the worse.

"Yes. The company has so many spies inside it. If you're going to wreak havoc in my company, I can use that opportunity to restructure the company from scratches later.

"So, yeah. I will be able to eliminate all those spies. The more dangerous the situation is, the easier it is to locate all the spies. You don't need to hold back if you want to do it. All I request is just to make sure that the company doesn't go bankrupt."

"No. I don't wish for something like that. I have promised that I will be responsible for her and her family, so I don't wish to harm your family. However, it doesn't change the fact that your company will play a huge role in my plan."

"Can I know your plan? Maybe I can prepare for it?"

"Unfortunately, I can't tell you right now. All I can say is that… I will give your company back as long as you trust me."

"Of course. My daughter has nothing but praises when she's talking about you. I have no doubt about your intention and ability now that you have decided to help my family." Boris nodded without hesitation.

"That's good then. I have one thing I want you to do."

"I understand. Please tell me."

"Oppose me with everything you got." Theo smiled.

"Oppose you?" Boris squinted his eyes and looked down, not understanding his plan. "I'm sorry, I don't understand."

"I can only tell you that. I want you to oppose me and you should be the only one to know I'm on your side this whole time. Even Agata doesn't know about this and will surely question me later. Well, as long as she knows this is my plan, she will agree to it." Theo shrugged.

"Hmm. Although I don't know what you're planning to do, I know that you're going to hit my company. So, I will fulfill my role as the CEO of that company to resist you."

"Good. I can promise you that everything will be resolved within…" Theo paused for a moment, calculating the time he needed. "One to two weeks."

"I understand. I like to see what kind of monster the famous War Saint has created." He smiled. "I wish you luck… Maybe we can have a small chat later."

"In your company." Theo smirked and hung up the call.

…

Two days later.

Theo was standing in front of a building with Ava on his shoulder.

"I will rely on you a lot, Ava." Theo smiled.

"Kyu." Ava raised her foot with a smile.

Theo entered the building as a middle-aged man suddenly walked to him after noticing him.

"I'm honored to greet you here, Young Sir. My name is Fanelli, and I will be guiding you to the boss. But before that… Welcome to the Safulli Group.. We're pleased to know that you're going to help us."
