God of Tricksters

"Get up! You said you want to fight me, but it seems that your will is not that strong." Ergene shouted while glaring at Rea, who was lying on the floor.

After two weeks, Rea's training went to another level. Instead of imagination, she asked Ergene to fight her until she completed her 1000th swing. And Ergene accepted.

To her surprise, Rea requested her not to hold back even if she needed to injure her.

Recalling Theo's words as well as seeing Rea's solemn expression, Ergene ended up agreeing to this request.

While they were fighting, they got an unexpected visitor in the mansion. And Theo was the one who dealt with him.

"So, why do you want to meet me?" Theo asked the middle-aged man before him. Even Maya was shocked that he asked for this meeting. But the man had an important thing that Theo wanted, so Theo had to agree to this meeting.

"I want to see the man who has tortured my man." The middle-aged man glared at him.

"Your man? You sure love to talk that way, eh? Mr. Helsbert. Why don't you call Winston your son?" Theo snorted, not scared of his fierce glare. Of course, he knew this guy, especially with those three stars on his shoulders. Someone at his rank was rare even in the military.

Winston's Father, General Reyn Helsbert. This was the identity of the man before him.

"Now that you've seen me, I'm going to ask you for information about that piece of stone," Theo stated with a cold tone.

"I have no intention of telling you." Reyn looked down on him while emanating his killing intent.

"Then, you can die right now." Theo narrowed his eyes. Since they were meeting with a Mythical Rank Expert, Felix insisted on staying with him. Two weeks had passed, so the rescue operation had finished. As soon as he heard Theo's words, Felix flicked his sword, preparing to unsheathe it.

"You're not scared of the country?"

"Cut the bullshit. If you don't give me the information, I won't be the one to visit you at night. It will be the president." Theo snorted. He could simply request the Time God to pressure the president to ask him since it was related to the disruption of the order. There was no way the Time God wouldn't cooperate even if he was an observer.

"Do you not have the country in your eyes?" Reyn clenched his teeth in anger.

"Such bullshit. I have no loyalty to any country. I'm doing as I please."

"Like you said, I won't be the one visiting you next time. It will be the whole military with all our equipment. Leaving you alive will surely endanger the country." Reyn gritted his teeth.

"Sure. Let's do that." Theo shrugged, not caring about it. "Give that idea to the president, and you'll regret it soon. Don't worry. I won't be a ruthless man. I'm just going to break your son's brain to turn him into an idiot. See? I'm not a bad person; I don't kill people."

Reyn kept glaring at him before closing his eyes for a moment.

"If you don't give me the information, I'm going to do whatever I want to obtain it."

"I want you to promise me one thing."

"And that is?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"Never leave this country."

"Then, I don't need to entertain you any longer. Felix, see the guest out." Theo snorted.

Felix then stepped forward as he prepared to drag him off, but Reyn suddenly opened his mouth. "Brazil. There will be an underground auction for Cholsite Mineral. However, that item is sought after by many people, including the local tyrant, Paolo from ASD. If you want to get that item, you're going to have a clash with him. No matter how powerful you are, the moment you step in their den, you'll die."

"Ho?" Theo narrowed his eyes, realizing that Reyn was putting on a fake facade this whole time. In fact, he didn't hate Theo for beating his son, considering Winston had grown up. He started to trust Lexie, had the desire to seek something outside of his strength, and became a responsible person.

Hence, he tried to threaten Theo to stop this farce. He wanted Theo to stay in the country and abandon the thought of getting this item.

"I am not scared of anything." Theo harrumphed. If he was scared by something, he wouldn't even play with the higher being. So, Theo would do everything necessary. "When will the auction start?"

"Do you know what you are doing? ASD has that guy! 98th on the world list, the slaughter." Reyn gritted his teeth.

"He should be the one fearing me. If he doesn't want to die, he should stay quiet." Theo added inwardly, 'The one he is going to face is not me, but the Frost Saint. The Frost Saint has shown his eagerness in helping me, so he won't mind helping me on this occasion.'

"You…"

"So, when is it?" Theo asked again, pressing for the answer.

"Two weeks."

"Oh, it's quite long." Theo smirked.

"It's a stone used to create an artifact. More organizations are coming to that auction… more than you can imagine. Not only the local tyrant but you'll be hunted by international organizations who are trying to get material for the artifact."

"That's true, but well, there are already many people who want me dead. So, a few more won't be that much of a problem." Theo sighed. "I am going there."

"You…" Reyn gritted his teeth, frustrated by Theo's arrogance. In the end, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to him. "Then, you should go to this location. They should be able to help you in the identity needed to attend the auction."

"Hoh? A state secret?" Theo smirked.

Reyn slammed the table and shouted, "Remember. This is how the country treats you!"

"Yeah, yeah." Theo shrugged, watching Reyn leave with a furious face. As soon as Reyn left, Theo's face became cold, recalling how he had been treated after dealing with a world class disaster. "Now he's gone."
