God of Tricksters

Meanwhile, in another car, Lexie was frowning when she saw the report made by a middle-aged woman next to her.

"How is it?" The middle-aged woman asked.

"Hmm… that bodyguard is certainly not a normal one. I'm assuming he's faking his identity since there's no record about him." Lexie nodded. "And from Maya's actions, I can see that they have a pretty good relationship."

"Does Miss Maya really get a man?" The woman looked down, contemplating the report.

"Has she met someone important?"

"She was hunting on the other side for two months."

"Two months? That's too long."

"Yes. From what I heard, there were only three people in her group. Miss Maya, another woman, and… Theodore Griffith."

"What?!" Lexie widened her eyes, shocked by the last name. "Who?"

"Theodore Griffith."

"The Theodore Griffith?"

"Yes. From what I found, Theodore Griffith going to Russia was just a facade created by the Wind Emperor. The one that truly went there was a clone. There was no trace left behind by him. And the only one that could do this was his clone."

"I heard that he beat both Alea and Afanasiia. Are you telling me it's only his clone?"

"Yes. After all, it was at that time Miss Maya met Theodore Griffith in the airport."

"Where did you get the information?"

"I bought it from the beggars."

"…" Lexie fell silent for a moment and pinched the bridge of her nose. "You're kidding me. That bodyguard is Theodore Griffith…"

"I believe so."

"Looking at their relationship, is Theodore Griffith coming to the US next? The War God Family couldn't hold him down, no? I believe Agata Mota has rejected him or something."

"I believe so. There might be a union between Miss Maya and him, but nothing can be confirmed for now. However, the only thing I know is… among other people in the US, she's the closest one to him."

"Hmm…" Lexie frowned. "Although I don't know about his power, it's certain that he has reached Supreme Rank. Leveling is fair because everyone has the same requirement to level up. This way, even an average person can become a peerless expert in the future.

"However, Theodore Griffith is different. Although it's true that he's dangerous, he doesn't have the War God Family protecting him anymore. We don't really need to be afraid of him."

"But what if he comes to the Starry Group or even the Star Group?"

"…" Lexie couldn't answer that question. "We can't really let Maya take everything. It's true that he's not strong right now, but his future is too bright."

"Are we going to invest in him?"

"We can't. Do you think it's easy for us to rope him?"

"Then what should we do?"

"I don't know. This is already beyond my power… Though, I believe that Winston would like to fight him. That guy's brain is filled with fight and only recognizes someone strong. Share this news with him and his family. They might even extend their hand to bring Theo to their side like making Winston his brother or something."

"Apologize, but Mr. Winston doesn't have a smart brain. Acquiring Theo means getting a brain he needs…" The woman frowned, doubting Lexie's intention.

"Then, do you want to see Maya and Theo together? Many companies will collapse at this rate. He can be with others but shouldn't be with Maya. It will be a problem if Maya's Starry Group reaches the same level as Star Group. Anyway, The rest will be decided by my parents."

"Understood."

"Still, Theodore Griffith, huh… I'm afraid if he comes to the US, the list will be changed."

…

While they were chatting, Theo and Maya had arrived at the nearest Star Group Training Center.

The building was a tall 50 stories building.

As soon as they came inside, there was nothing but a grand hall and a few people working inside.

Maya walked to the receptionist and asked, "I should have an appointment here. Is there any empty room?"

The receptionist recognized Maya and immediately answered, "Yes. It's been prepared, Miss. Would you like to have Grandmaster Lent to help you?"

"How about Ag… I mean, Liza? She should have come here, right?"

"Ah, yes. She came here one hour ago with Madam Stella. They were on the 37th floor with Master Pion."

"Then, how about the 36th or 38th floor? Are they empty?"

"The 38th floor is empty. Should I call Master Greg?"

"Alright. We'll use that room." Maya nodded. "Before that, I'm going to visit my mother first."

"Understood. The room should be ready within thirty minutes."

"Okay." Maya waved her hand to Theo, asking him to follow her. They walked to the elevator and went up.

On the way, Theo asked, "By the way, what is this training center?"

"The 1st floor is for the receptionist and other staff. Up to the 20th floor, it's for gyms. The 21st to 30th floors are for sparring. This one is for physical sparring, so the place has been reinforced by multiple strengthening materials that can release a shield like your Ring of Honor. It should be safe for Supreme Rank Experts or below.

"The 31st to 40th floors are for the new simulation rooms. There are many scientists and experts to look after you on these floors… Basically, it's a dream of those who join the Starry or Star Groups.

"The 41st to 45th floors are for virtual rooms. It's for sparring but in the digital world. To be honest, it's not that good. As for the last five floors, they are office floors… The ones that maintain this place.

"To be fair, Star Group and Starry Group have given the best treatment to their experts from mesh to training area… There are, in fact, five training centers across the country.

"This is big eye candy for those who want to get stronger. When you reach Mythical Rank Experts, you'll get a big house to a mansion depending on your aptitude and access to the hotel on the other side. There are many more benefits, but you should know about the term for the Mythical Rank Expert, right?"

"Yeah. Ten years…" Theo nodded.

"Yep. Within those ten years, they should know whether they want to be with this group or not. If they leave, they also need to pay a huge amount for the training resources we have spent on them."

"Hmm… I guess the treatment is competitive and lucrative at the same time." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"Hehe, you want to join now? It's not too late to sign the contract."

"Let me think, okay? Repeating that offer has become a bit annoying…" Theo sighed.

"Okay, okay. I apologize. I won't say anything about it anymore."

"Thanks."
