God of Tricksters

Bam.

Theo fell to the ground but managed to stop himself with Telekinesis, making sure that his head didn't hit the rock.

"Oi, oi. You're too happy." Theo was stupefied, never seeing Maya this happy.

Without hesitation, she gave a peck on Theo's cheek before saying, "Of course, I'm happy. You don't know what this room means to me."

"Alright, alright. Let's talk about that." Theo sighed and glanced at Agata to see her reaction.

Agata shrugged her shoulders. Her expression told him she didn't mind it since Maya only expressed her happiness. She had told Theo that she didn't want to be overly jealous, so her course of action was to step back and wait for them to finish.

Theo made a wry smile and said, "Alright. Get off me and explain."

Maya didn't listen to him for a few seconds as she was too happy at the moment. After taking a few deep breaths, she finally let him go and stood up.

Theo rose from the ground and asked, "So, what's wrong with this place?"

"This is quite a large vein we have there. And usually, this is the entire mine. There won't be any Blue Star Crystal at least… in a 10 miles radius." She pointed at the crystal. "If I can mine all this, I can make all my bullets fueled by this crystal instead of gunpowder or Diaroite.

"And they can allow me to reach Mythical Rank without a problem. Well, I'm prodigal, so it's quite absurd to use me as an example.

"Let's use another example. If we have a normal person who uses the bullets sparsely, we can let two thousand people use them for ten years. Because of the power contained in the Blue Star Crystal, we don't need much for each bullet, so that's the rough calculation.

"If that's not simple enough, then… this stuff is equal to 4-6 Billion worth of raw material. There's also the fact that we've been given permission from the King Class Monster, which means even the General Class Monster won't even bother to look at this place.

"As long as we abide by the rule, I doubt that the miners will experience any problem. So, this also means there's no need for compensation…No extra cost for this. I believe you understand how much this is worth, right?" She smiled.

"Well." Theo nodded with a serious expression, understanding why she had such a reaction.

Maya let out a long sigh, remembering what she said earlier about Theo being the high-risk, high-return opportunity. "Making the rough calculation alone with everything we have found… We've got around 10 billion worth of items.

"And that's not calculating your compensation and reward from the Black Knight and the cloth…" She glanced at the cloth wrapped on Theo's lower arm.

"Haha." Theo chuckled. "Then, I guess this trip is worth it?"

"Yeah. If a two or three-month trip can give this kind of result, I can't imagine your future potential… When you are a Supreme Rank Expert… And what if you are a Mythical Rank Expert?" She shook her head in defeat.

"Haha." Theo looked away. "I guess it won't be a problem if Agata and I use the simulation room, right?"

"Obviously. You can even rent it one year long and still have enough money to spare…"

"We don't need that long." Theo shrugged. "Probably one month is enough since we still need to go back to Italy."

"Right, you still need to return. So, have you chosen the influence you'll visit after leaving Italy next time?" She smirked. "I'm prepared to hire you again. Or I'll give you a contract far better than what my old man offered you in Thersland."

"We can talk about that later. For now, I have another plan." He shook his head.

"Really? What should I offer you to make you stay here? Maybe I should offer myself? How about that? You can get me and the company." She smirked before hiding behind Theo, looking at Agata. "Oops…"

"Stop joking." Theo let out a long sigh. "Why does everyone somehow want to marry me? Has no one ever thought about the problem that I bring? Even if it's a joke… You, the WInd Emperor's granddaughter, and that Empress…"

"You should ask yourself. Can you handle the problem that you bring?" She smirked. "You have the brain, and with our influences, it's easy for you to solve that problem. And there's also the fact that you're a very kind and loyal person, so getting you is worth more than that.

"And now you're asking why others want to marry you… Where are those brain cells of yours? Can't you understand this?"

"I can understand that, but that doesn't change my character." Theo sighed. "I would rather die alone than be chained down forcefully."

Suddenly, Ava leaped to Maya's shoulder and touched her cheek.

"Hmm?" Maya turned to her and looked at Ava in confusion.

"Can't be forceful. You're always thinking about benefits, not feelings." She pushed her head, resulting in Maya taking a few steps to the side. "Not good enough. Alea still thinks about his well-being, Nella is trying to make up for all those years, and Agata is very considerate. So, you are not good."

"Since when you became my matchmaker, Ava?" Theo's eyebrows twitched.

"I'm just telling the truth." Ava shook her head.

"And Since when did Nella become a candidate?" Maya asked as she had the same expression as Theo.

"Seven generations apart," Ava answered without hesitation before glancing at Agata. "She did it. I just happened to stumble upon this information."

"Oh!" Maya nodded.

"Wha—!" Agata stepped back, stunned. "I-I was just investigating the Griffith Family. I didn't search for that specific information!"

The atmosphere became awkward as Theo couldn't help but say, "Seriously, guys… Let's stop that, okay?"

"Fine." Ava leaped to Theo's shoulder again. "I'm just that good at information gathering."

Theo ignored her words and looked at the ceiling. "Alright. It's time for me to reach Supreme Rank Expert.. Time to hunt again before making our way to the hotel since it's better to inform some of your Mythical Rank Experts to protect this place."
