God of Tricksters

After a while, the terrorists were rooted while Theo, Nella, and Felix went to the side to get some rest while the military continued their jobs.

"How is your hand?" Theo asked.

"The muscle is cut, but it should be easy to heal with some skills. There's no need to worry."

"That's good then." Theo felt relieved.

"There is actually one thing I want to ask. When did you give the signal to them?" Felix asked.

Theo took out a device and handed it to him.

"This is…" Felix never knew about this device while Nella recognized it. She said, "It is like a transmission device. The range is not that long, but it's pretty handy."

"I used them to call for reinforcement."

"Still, I never saw you using this one."

"Remember the monkey?"

"Ah?!" Everything clicked in Felix's mind. It turned out the monkey was bait.

Theo used the monkey to distract everyone while he used the transmission device to notify them. And it worked like magic.

"So, that's how it is." Nella finally understood Theo's plan.

However, as someone who had been by Theo's side for a long time, Felix furrowed his eyebrows and said, "I don't think that's the only reason why you used the monkey."

"As expected of you." Theo smiled.

"Eh?" Nella was startled to know that there was another depth in Theo's almost perfect plan.

"The enemies thought they managed to disrupt my plan by killing the monkey. Then, they would think I got another plan and immediately went there to disrupt the plan again." Theo glanced to the east side of the battlefield.

"With their overwhelming superiority, they would move to the easy to patch the hole, allowing you to shoot at their heads…" Felix continued Theo's explanation while remembering their talk about the formation.

"And that bullet is us. You damn brat, to think you're also making me play in your hands." Suddenly, Okho's voice echoed in their ears as he walked toward them.

"Commander Okho." Theo wanted to get up, but Okho waved his hand down as if telling them it was fine to sit down.

"Still, there is actually the Griffith Family's interference." Okho glanced at Nella, who had put on her face mask.

"That's…"

"There is no need for Commander Okho to pursue this matter anymore, right?" Theo used this one question to stop Okho from judging Nella.

And it seemed Okho knew what he meant. He could only sigh and nod. "I know. Without her information, our base would get destroyed before we could move. We wouldn't have known the involvement of the Bolhom Family in this. And lastly, we couldn't eradicate them in one single swoop.

"Because your information has contributed too much, I shall make an exception and consider you as a part of Joker's group, and the Griffith Family has nothing to do with you."

This was the reason why Theo asked Nella to stay with him. However, Okho still added, "But I can't really let you go that easily since the outcome will become much different if not because of the Griffith Family. I'll impose a ban on you… As long as I'm alive, you can't go near Mongolia again."

"I understand. Thank you, Commander Okho." Nella bowed to him to show her gratitude.

"Thank that kid, not me." Okho snorted while Theo chuckled.

Before Okho left, Chris, Ergene, and Jeff found Theo and ran to him. They noticed the big wound on Felix's hand, so they were quite worried, but when they saw Okho talking with them, they knew the situation was fine.

Felix had wrapped the wound too so that there wouldn't be an infection before getting healed.

"Joker. Sorry that I can't help you that much." Jeff examined Theo's body and realized there was no insignificant injury. Only some bruises and shallow cuts.

"It's fine. You worked so hard as a wall. If you three didn't hold the monsters back, I couldn't position the enemies like I wanted to."

While Jeff checked Theo's condition, Okho looked at Ergene and asked, "You must be Ergene. You have worked splendidly for your country. I will make sure you're rewarded."

"Thank you, Commander Okho."

"You're this talented… Do you want to study under me? You should be able to replace my position in the future."

Ergene widened her eyes, startled by the offer. There were two big generals that supported Mongolia. These two generals were feared because of their strength. And Okho was one of them.

Replacing Okho meant having one of the greatest positions in Mongolia.

However, Ergene shook her head, rejecting his offer without hesitation. "I apologize, Commander Okho. I'm truly honored by the invitation, but I've found someone that I want to serve."

"Is that so?" Okho closed his eyes with a pained expression. "Truly a great loss for the country…"

It was truly painful since the Bolhom Family would be destroyed after this. With the addition of Ergene, it meant Mongolia lost ten Mythical Rank Experts. How could Okho not feel any pain?

"Well, Khutulun herself accompanied her father in the past. I guess I can't stop you…" Okho looked at Theo and said, "Even though we have no blood relation whatsoever, as a fellow citizen, I'd like to ask you not to treat her badly."

Okho's action couldn't help but make Theo smile. Okho truly loved his country. Theo nodded with a serious expression to show his sincerity. "I understand, Commander Okho. I treat my group like my family after all."

"Is that so? I'm relieved." Okho nodded and turned around. "In that case, you can rest for now while we take care of the remaining terrorists and monsters."

"Yes." Theo saw Okho off. He truly respected Okho. He was just, fair, and loved his country while not overbearingly looking down on others. He was truly a role model.

After he left, Theo said, "Well, this mission is done. We'll return and get a good rest. As for the next destination, I'm thinking of going with only Jeff. Felix and Chris can go back to the US while Ergene handles the process for leaving the country."

"Understood." Felix nodded.

"Haha, my time has come." Jeff smiled excitedly.

"Okay," Chris answered nonchalantly.

"Yes, Sir." Ergene acknowledged Theo's order.
