God of Tricksters

"!!!" In that moment, Jefferson widened his eyes when he saw what happened before him. Theo felt as if he had transformed into a being that didn't exist on Earth.

His bloodshot eyes kept emanating his killing intent to the point he could smell blood lingering in the air. His shadow gradually emerged from the ground and extended his hands to him, inviting him to the afterlife.

'What is this?' Jefferson's body trembled. He wanted to move his feet to step back, but the energy left his body.

His feet went. In fact, he could barely stand right now.

The more he looked into Theo's eyes, the weaker he felt.

'Why can't I move my body?' Jefferson could only think in his mind. Yet, a stabbing pain soon jolted his brain.

"Ar—!" Jefferson tried to scream but heard no sound. He soon realized he couldn't even produce a single sound.

His eyes turned to his right arm, which was ripped apart by the mysterious being from Theo's shadow.

'I'm going to die!' The moment that thought appeared in his mind, he shouted on top of his lungs. "Aaaarrgghh!"

His left hand was clutching his right shoulder while he was wailing in pain on the ground. Tears were already falling on his cheek and his eyes looked so empty.

Everything returned to normal, but Jefferson couldn't do anything other than roll around in the ground.

While looking at his reaction, Theo snorted coldly and walked away. "You couldn't even withstand my killing intent… Yet, you dare challenge me. Know your place."

"!!!" Every single person who witnessed this scene dropped their jaws to the ground. They couldn't believe what had just happened.

'Jefferson is crying like a baby?'

'Jefferson has endured the most brutal training in the military, yet he is down with just killing intent?' Another person thought as he also felt Theo's killing intent.

Theo also didn't move, so they couldn't tell what had happened. Still, one thing was clear. Theo defeated Jefferson with just his killing intent.

If this was a life and death battle, Jefferson couldn't even do anything.

'What happened? The Magic Power fluctuated a bit, but it shouldn't be something like this. A skill wouldn't be this powerful with that amount of Magic Power. In other words, Theo simply used a bit of his Magic Power to transmit that killing intent and defeat Jefferson.' Maya thought in shock, trying to analyze Theo's power. 'I haven't seen him fight for a few months, and he has become this powerful?'

Maya sucked a cold breath while trying to move her body to follow Theo since they were from the same side. Little did she know, the fluctuation she felt earlier was Theo using his Illusion to cut off Jefferson's hearing and give him pain.

Isaac stepped back when he saw Theo coming back. He looked at Jefferson's condition and remembered what happened in front of the ice mist. 'Killing intent? Is his killing intent that great? That's right. Winston also suffered at that time… Was that also his killing intent?'

There were many questions in his mind, but Isaac knew one thing for certain. 'Let's not provoke this guy in the future. I have gotten enough benefit from our deal anyway.'

On the contrary, Tyler immediately dropped to his knees and checked Jefferson's situation, trying to calm him down.

"Jefferson! Jefferson! Can you hear me?" Tyler stopped Jefferson from moving while trying to wake him up.

Jefferson managed to stop and snap back to reality in a few seconds, but the memory of what happened earlier was stuck in his mind.

Even if he wanted to say something, he couldn't. His lips were shaking and his body was trembling.

Tyler gritted his teeth and shouted, "Joker! Don't you think this is too much?!"

Theo stopped for a moment and turned around, replying with a playful tone. "What do you mean? I am just a weak person who reached the Supreme Rank not long ago. What can I do to the great Jefferson?"

The sarcasm and insults were clear in his words. No one could refute what he said because these words were what Jefferson said.

Maya stepped forward and said, "Tyler. You should take him back right now. Don't forget that it was you guys who approached us. If you want to use rules or morals, you should be prepared to face the consequences."

"Maya! Do you think your company can withstand the government?"

"Of course not, but I need to ask you one question. Will the government… I mean, the military, choose you or me?" Maya smirked, indirectly implying she had some people in the government too.

She wanted to see whose people were stronger in politics.

Even Tyler understood what would happen. There was nothing he could do other than swallow this insult.

"I just want to remind you. It's better to forget about revenge if you still love your life and family. That's all." Maya waved her hand while smiling as she followed Theo inside. After all, she had agreed to bring him around.

Meanwhile, the onlookers truly gained something good from this exchange alone. Theo's strength was clear to everyone else.

Even though he didn't look like using a skill, Theo could easily defeat Jefferson. This information alone was worth the hassle.

And there was no way this kind of scene wouldn't spread among the people in this place.

As Maya said earlier, it was useless to justify their actions with morals or rules. The rules stated that they couldn't use their power because it would destroy the property.

However, Theo simply used his Magic Power to send his killing intent. Looking at this matter, it was clear Theo chose to release his killing intent because he wanted to follow the rule. In fact, he wouldn't do anything if the latter didn't provoke him and force him to stay.

If Jefferson tried to use morals, he would be frowned upon because he was the culprit of this whole incident. Unless he wanted to destroy himself, Jefferson should do nothing here.

That was why Maya warned him not to take revenge. No one could predict what would happen if Theo was angered.

The Safulli Group was destroyed by him when he wasn't even a Supreme Rank Expert. So, what could a normal family like him do to stop Theo?

Still, Theo's figure was planted deep in their heart.
