God of Tricksters

"WWWHHHAAATTT?!"

They couldn't believe Felipe would agree so easily. After all, he had listed every reason why he didn't want the cooperation.

Yet, a single piece of paper was all it took for Felipe to change his mind.

"I'm really scared right now. To think there is someone as scary as you in this country…" Felipe scratched the back of his head before letting out a long sigh.

Listening to Felipe's words, they became even more curious about that piece of paper. However, Felipe crushed it and burned it in front of everyone so that no one would bother him with this anymore.

"I'm not scary at all. Look at me. I'm pretty harmless right now." Theo shrugged.

"Yes, sure. You do, but…" Felipe paused for a moment. "I don't think you want to waste too much time here. Just state your business… What do you want from me?"

"I want to ask you four things." Theo raised four fingers. "First, I want you to help me go to the other side without anyone knowing about it."

"That's a pretty easy thing to do. You can consider it done. Just let me know the place and time. In fact, your ability alone is enough to do it, but I guess you want it to be perfect."

Theo nodded and stated the second point. "I want you to manipulate the information about me and my group."

"You and your group? Still, manipulating the information? Not blocking the information?" Felipe looked down, contemplating for a moment. "Oh, I see!"

"I've left all the details in this envelope." Theo pointed at the envelope and continued to the third point. "Next, I want you to make a fake ID for me."

"You should ask the Star Group to do it. They should have some connections to the government."

"No. The Star Group can't do it this time. I need you to do it." Theo shook his head calmly.

Felipe pondered Theo's request and nodded. "Fine. Creating something like that shouldn't be that hard."

"Good. Lastly, I want you to start a rumor. With all these people, it shouldn't be that hard to spread some rumors, no?" Theo glanced at the Experts inside the building.

"Start a rumor?" Felipe became even more confused. Although there was no problem with them, he didn't understand why Theo wanted to do all this.

"As for the reward…" Theo ignored his reaction and waved his hand a few times as if asking Felipe to come closer.

Curious, Felipe leaned toward him as Theo's mouth was next to his ear, whispering.

No one could hear what he was saying. However, the content was clearly extraordinary, as it was shown on Felipe's face.

"What?!" Felipe sucked a cold breath, staring at Theo as if he was looking at the devil. "Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding. I wouldn't have visited you if this matter was simple." Theo shrugged.

"Do you know how hard it is to achieve what you want? You are underestimating your goal!"

"Goal, huh… I'm not underestimating someone. Don't you think so? Especially if you remember my new member."

"New member…" Felipe's expression darkened. As someone who was watching the country from the darkness, Felipe certainly knew about Rea's presence.

In other words, Theo was planning to use the Sword Saint on this occasion. He never thought there would be someone that could move the Sword Saint.

And Theo dropped the last bomb to destroy the wall, which made Felipe hesitate. "Besides, if you think about it, your involvement won't be that deep. Even if it ends up as a failure, you can pretty much escape unscathed."

"That's… true." Felipe nodded and thought for a moment.

After five minutes, Felipe finally agreed to Theo's offers. "Fine. I'll cooperate with you."

"The details of what I want as well as the reward are in here." Theo handed the envelope to him.

Before accepting the envelope, Felipe asked, "Are you sure you want to give this to me? I can betray you, you know."

"Will you dare?" Theo smiled as if he was assured that Felipe wouldn't betray him.

"…" Felipe fell silent before closing his eyes. He thought, 'I see. It seems that he has another backup plan ready. Even without me, he is going to do it. On the other hand, this deal will benefit the association greatly. If I can take advantage of it, this place will soon undergo its golden age.'

Felipe shook his head helplessly as if admitting his defeat against Joker. "Fine. I'll cooperate with you. If you have anything else, do ask me about it."

He tossed a Skylink to him and said, "If you want anything else that requires my cooperation, you can contact me through that."

"Okay." Theo nodded and turned around, ready to leave.

"Have a nice day." Felipe smiled as if he started getting excited by the thought alone.

Theo waved his hand back while walking away with his group.

No one other than Theo and Felipe knew the details of Theo's plan.

However, Ergene had uttered her interest in learning from Theo, so she couldn't help but ask, "What did you do earlier? I thought it was impossible to get an agreement."

"Mhm…" Theo shook his head. "I'll tell you later after everything is finished. Can you wait a bit, Ergene?"

"Well, if that's the case, I'll wait." Ergene nodded. She was dying to know about the content, but she decided to let it go.

"Ryo. You can go with Jeff to your own house. We currently don't have a base, so I can't really give you a place." Theo sighed.

"Don't worry. I'm already satisfied to have a place to live in."

"As for your shields, I'll send you the catalog later. Unfortunately, I can't really bring you to the Star Group, especially in the current situation. If you don't like the shield, I can order another stuff from you."

"I understand."

Theo then glanced at Jeff and Chris.

"Jeff. You will create my ultimate weapon. Mhm… Around one or two weeks before the plan is commenced, I'm going to send you somewhere else. Get ready, okay?"

"Sure. There's plenty of time to prepare."

"As for Chris, there's nothing you need to do right now. So, you can relax. Felix will be in charge of training Isaac, Millie, and Rea. As for Ergene… Do you want to come with me to the other side? I need to level up." Theo asked. "The urgency to level up is far above anything else this time."

"You want me to weaken the monsters so that you can kill them? Well, it's true that this practice is legal, but it will make you weak over time because everything comes from others' efforts, not yours. So, I need to refuse."

"Is that so? Even though the monsters I'm planning to kill this time are Mythical Rank Monsters?" Theo smirked.

"!!!" Ergene widened her eyes in shock. "What did you say?"

"Well, I can't kill a Mythical Rank Monster by myself, but with your help, I should be able to do it. Besides, you reached Mythical Rank Expert not long ago, right? This should be a good opportunity for you to increase your levels a bit." Theo explained.

"Are you serious? Are you underestimating a Mythical Rank Monster?"

"I once killed a Mythical Rank Monster with Maya, Isaac, and Mark." Theo shrugged. "Though, that's already a few months ago. I'm stronger now… The gap between me and a normal Mythical Rank Monster shouldn't be that big anymore. You are the one who will fill the gap."

"If that's the case, I can agree. But if I deem that you're just leeching off me, I will return. I don't want to serve a weak person."

"Don't worry." Theo nodded in agreement. "Alright then. Let's make the final preparations for the trip."
