God of Tricksters

When he heard the oath, he couldn't help but smile. It was such a heavy oath.

If it was any other person, Theo might doubt this oath because an empty word was hard to believe. However, the things he saw in this house never lied. How he cared for his daughter… How his daughter loved him… How they wanted to support each other…

Theo knew that this oath came from the bottom of Felix's heart.

He rose from his seat and walked to him, patting Felix's shoulder. "I'm counting on you."

"Yes." Felix smiled. Giving the rest of his life to another person was a hard choice, yet the smile couldn't disappear from his face when he did it. As he thought earlier, Theo didn't want to take advantage of his weakness by holding his daughter hostage. Instead, he wanted to give him everything so that he could trust his Master.

There was something in Theo's expression that told him he understood his feelings and accepted everything. He didn't know that Theo had no parent figure in his childhood like Millie. Instead of understanding, Theo was longing for such affection.

That was why Theo wanted him.

After leaving his number and some details, Theo finally left the house.

Little did he know, Felix's disciples came to Felix as though they had heard everything.

"You guys…" Felix now felt bad for not being able to take care of them anymore.

"Master." One of them stepped forward with a smile on his face. "Please don't mind us. We're an orphan you took in. If not for Master, we would have died a long time ago."

"That's right." Another one came to him and nodded in agreement. "That's why Master doesn't need to think about us. You have treated us like your own son and trained us so that no one can bully us anymore."

"We won't be your burden anymore. So, you don't need to hesitate."

"We will work hard so that we can become a Mythical Rank Expert like you in the future."

"At that time, please let us repay you, Master."

Felix widened his eyes as his body trembled, never expecting such words from his disciples. "You guys…"

He couldn't help but hug all of them, letting out all his emotions. "Sorry… and thank you…"

…

Meanwhile, Theo had arrived at the military camp where they were supposed to gather for the international mission.

While walking around, Theo smiled after seeing his clone's vision.

'A good guy, indeed.' Theo glanced to the side while thinking, 'I'm looking forward to our next meeting, Felix Holt and Millie Holt…'

"Is there something wrong?" Melinda, his partner for this operation, asked while tilting her head in confusion.

"Nah, it's fine. Is everything ready?"

"Most preparation has been completed. We should be going after another two hours." Melinda answered.

"I see." Theo nodded and looked around. There were a total of 250 Supreme Rank Experts and 7 Mythical Rank Experts for this mission. Their number far surpassed the terrorists because the Lowe Organization, the military, and the Starry Group wanted to minimize their casualties.

If they could overwhelm them, it would be better.

Still, the groups that would enter the cave were only the Starry Group and the Lowe Organization, while the military needed to stand by outside. Their main objective was to capture any terrorist that tried to escape.

However, Theo couldn't help but feel uneasy when looking at the terrain.

The cave itself was under a small hill. Even if they destroyed the roof, the agents should have enough strength to stop the collapsing roof.

Yet, Theo felt like he could do something more if he was the enemy. And he was still thinking about it.

While waiting for the operation, Brad visited Theo, asking, "Are you nervous?"

Surprisingly, Theo nodded his head. "Yeah."

"For real?" Brad looked at him as if he saw a ghost. "Are you sure you are Joker? You're not someone who is impersonating him, right?"

"It's just… I feel like they're going to use the terrain around us, and I don't know what they will do." Theo let out a long sigh.

If Theodore Griffith were the one who said these words, Brad would carefully consider it. However, Joker never had a reputation of being good at politics or strategy, so Brad only shrugged it off, saying, "Haha. It must be because you're too nervous. You said it yourself that you always think about the worst case scenario… That fear is the one plaguing you right now. Just relax, and that fear will be gone soon."

"…" Theo's eyebrows twitched while complaining in his heart. 'Oi. I was telling you that something is going to happen, and you just brushed it like that?'

Theo ended up shaking his head. "Since we have time, I need to go to the toilet."

"Go on." Brad shrugged, leaving his side.

As soon as no one saw him, Theo used his clone to scout the area. He even stole someone's spare military clothes to mix in.

After that, the real Theo assembled with the rest to get the last briefing before entering the cave.

"Alright. We'll let the Lowe Organization come in first because the cave size can only hold three people at once. We believe the terrorists will ambush us in those few big caves inside this hill.

"Because it's hard for so many people to fight inside the cave due to the size, we will only fill those big caves with twenty people each. I have told you about the arrangement earlier, so just follow the plan.

"One last thing you need to note is to remember the people on your left and right, and trust these people. Even if someone claims to be from the Lowe Organization, don't believe them. The terrorists might impersonate them.

"Make sure to confirm their identity first with the codes I told you. Understood?" Brad asked all the people from the Starry Group.

"Yes." The Starry Group agents answered him in unison.

"Good. If you don't have any questions, let's line up." Brad smiled and started walking to the Lowe Organization, waiting for them to enter.
