God of Tricksters

"…" Theo and Felix were stunned. Theo had just revealed his name, but to think the only one he could consider a family from the wretched Griffith Family would appear before him.

Nella Griffith. This name had also shaken the world. Having the same talent as Ray Griffith, the man who was known to have the potential to become the third strongest person in the world, Nella was one of the people at the center of attention.

However, Ray had brought her under his care and hid from the Griffith Family. Due to Ray using the Griffith Family's power to erase himself, no one could find them now. So, no one knew what kind of improvement Nella had during the past few years.

But just like Theo's grandfather, Ray and Nella had created another group as their front. That was the Gatahana Group.

Ray applied every single thing he learned during his stay with the Griffith Family, so the company was actually an information company. And Nella had also been working in this company.

Of course, Theo didn't know anything about this. He didn't expect that the Star Group actually asked for their help. Whether it was a coincidence or not, Theo was truly stunned by this sudden development.

Luckily, Theo had used his Awareness to make sure no one was outside when he said his name. So, Nella wasn't aware that Joker was actually Theo.

"Mhm. Yes. I'm Joker." Theo nodded, replying to her. "I'm sure the Star Group has sent you our agreement, right?"

"Of course." Nella nodded and came in. She sat down in front of Theo and continued, "I'll help you calculate the enemy's numbers, information, as well as their whereabouts."

"Okay." Theo nodded, trying hard to be calm so as to not make it suspicious. At the same time, Felix wanted to kill Nella just because she had 'Griffith' in her name. After all, the Griffith Family wanted to kill him.

If not because Theo's hand tapped his thigh to signal that she wasn't an enemy, he would have killed Nella.

"How do you plan to find them? I can't waste too much time waiting." Theo narrowed his eyes.

"We've got their basic information as well as their general location. All I need to do is to go there and confirm it with my tools. So, it shouldn't take more than a few hours as soon as we reach the general location. If we do it in the morning, you and the army can deal with them in the afternoon. Of course, I'd like to ask you not to disclose my information to the army. That's the condition." Nella smiled.

It seemed that Nella showed her real appearance and name only to the Star Group. In other words, there was another intention Nella had.

"Okay." Theo nodded with a calm expression. "So, what should we do?"

"The journey alone should take around 30 hours to get to their place. We should inform the army to make their move to the designated position since you have the authority to talk to them. According to our investigation, the enemy is going to launch an attack on the base in 48 hours. So, we'll need to go tonight."

Theo looked down, contemplating. He didn't know how Nella could gain this information, but if it was true, the situation was more serious than he originally thought.

"Okay. Give me all the information you have. I shall make the decision after that."

"Certainly." Nella smiled and took out her Skylink as she began her explanation.

Theo listened to her carefully while picking a few important points. It seemed that the Black Snake Group had a company that backed them up. That was why they got the resources to make that kind of weapon.

The money came from a conglomerate family called Bolhom Family. They managed the media as well as resorts. That was why they could escape from any weird rumor.

"We can only deal with the Black Snake Group because they have been deemed as a bad mercenary organization. However, we can't do anything to the Bolhom Family because we don't have enough proof of their involvement. Even our information is not enough." Nella ended her explanation with this statement.

Theo looked down, contemplating for a while. 'A conglomerate family… The Star Group… Nella… and the Black Snake Group…'

Theo muttered these names in his thoughts before remembering the mission requirement. The Star Group only wanted to destroy the Black Snake Group. Though, they didn't know anything about Bolhoms' involvement.

"I see. Let's follow your idea." Theo nodded in agreement. "We'll move tonight. I'll inform you about the time and the place later since none of us knows how to operate your tools. I'll also tell the military to make their move immediately. We want to deal with them before they reach the base after all."

"Certainly." Nella smiled, accepting the arrangement.

After that, Theo rose from his seat and reached the door. "Let's leave, Felix."

"Yes." Felix followed Theo without hesitation, leaving Nella alone in the room.

"Ho… Is that rude or just putting up a front?" Nella muttered in a low voice, looking at the door. "Uncle Ray wants to approach the Star Group and the Starry Group simply because they once helped Theo in the past… I guess after this job is done, we've paid them enough. I wonder where Theo is… He shouldn't have died, but I couldn't find him no matter how hard I searched.

"Well, it's Theo who we're talking about. He should be building his power quietly, unlike Joker, who is always flaunting his power… After all, Theo wants to avoid the spotlight right now due to the Griffith Family." Nella put her chin on the table while sighing. "Where are you, Theo? Ugh, Uncle Ray has removed the influence of the Mind Elder, but I can't stop thinking about Theo right now…

"I guess this is the aftereffect…" Nella sighed. "I wonder if he eats well… I wonder if he is sleeping in a good environment…"

Nella ended up shaking her head. "I shouldn't think about him right now. I have a job."

Little did she know, Theo had been so close to her. It was really a cruel reality that you couldn't meet the person despite being in front of you.
