God of Tricksters

1679 Agreement

"Theodore Griffith… What kind of deal do you want to make with me?"

Theo smirked. "Tell your people to handle the monsters around, and I'll take care of this World Class Monster for you. In other words, I can kill the World Class Monster while you get the safe passage."

"You're just trying to take advantage of my ability." The Mafia Queen narrowed her eyes, implying she didn't want to be used by him.

"Let's be honest here. Your group has no way to deal with this World Class Monster. By the time you finish crossing this place, you will have suffered great damage. Besides, without your ability, I can still kill the World Class Monster by myself."

"…" The Mafia Queen didn't correct him. Even she could see that Theo managed to exhaust the scorpion. If he used his clone to take him on for a bit more, it would be clear who would be victorious. It might take longer, but he certainly could do it.

"What do you want from this deal? I'm sure it's not only my cooperation, right?"

"I heard from Nella that you were escaping from the sea monsters, right?"

"…" The Mafia Queen thought for a moment. "Don't tell me, the base is experiencing an attack as well?"

"Yes. But I can assure you the victory. In fact, if you cooperate with me, our chance to kill this monster and another World Class Monster will be more than ninety percent."

"Another World Class Monster…" The Mafia Queen furrowed her eyebrows. "It seems that your appetite is not small."

Theo didn't deny it. He simply asked, "So, what are you planning to do? Will you cooperate with me or not?"

"Let's make this simple with a verbal promise."

"Sure. You are going to cooperate with me to take down this World Class Monster and the one attacking the base. In exchange, I will protect you from the government, which will probably try to control you. I have several lands, so you can use them for the time being.

"After the expansion, you can get a new place. What do you think?"

The Mafia Queen didn't expect Theo to be this generous. As he said, the government would surely fear things would be out of control with her existence. And they would probably send the Time God to pressure her.

On the other hand, if she grouped up with Theo, she would be able to get his protection. Just by looking at the agreement, Theo didn't seem to be planning to control her.

"I still don't understand one thing. What's your intention? You seem to be planning to make me your ally…"

"You should know the problem already. I'm simply strengthening my side to make sure the government doesn't have control over my life and my group."

"They have the Time God."

"I'll surpass him soon."

"And during that time, you're going to have me as your ally to protect yourself?"

"Yes."

The Mafia Queen thought for a few seconds. "I have a few problems with this agreement, but it doesn't seem like we can talk for too long… So, I'll just ask you one question. Since I've brought a lot of people, they're bound to know about my existence even if you try to hide me. What will you do if they want to use the Mafia Queen to pressure you?"

Theo smirked. "I don't know any Mafia Queen. I only want an ally and her name is Alexandra Boric."

"!!!" The Mafia Queen widened her eyes in surprise. His statement meant he saw her not as the number seventh in the world, the Mafia Queen. Instead, he needed her as an individual.

In other words, the one bound by the promise was only her, not her organization and people. On the one hand, it might look like a sloppy agreement where Theo wouldn't protect her people. On the other hand, this gave her a lot of freedom. Even if she agreed, her people wouldn't have to become someone's slaves.

"…" The Mafia Queen smirked. "It seems that we're going to have a drink tonight. Don't you think so, Theodore Griffith?"

"Should I take it as you agree with this alliance?"

"Tsk. Why do you have to say that? Have I not made it obvious enough?"

"I need verbal confirmation." Theo chuckled.

"Tsk." Alexa raised her palm as if asking for a high-five. "Yes. From now on, we're an ally. The details shall be discussed later."

Theo smiled and gave her a high-five, saying, "In that case, we have one thing to do here."

"Yeah!" Alexa became excited as she took out her radio to communicate with her people. At the same time, she also enveloped the real Theo with her ability. "There you go! Do you need anyone to help you?"

"No. With your ability, I can kill this scorpion by myself. Just make sure no one is interfering with my fight."

Even though Theo said that, he couldn't care less about Mythical Rank Monsters, even if they were General Class Monsters. Unless they were King Class Monsters, Theo wouldn't even look their way. Even so, it was nice to have a peaceful battlefield.

The Mafia Queen smirked and ordered all her people. "All of you, listen to my order. There's no need to fight the World Class Monster anymore. Instead, you all are to step away from the battlefield and prevent any monsters from coming to the battlefield. Someone will take care of that giant scorpion. That includes you, Ray, Valerie."

They were dumbfounded by the instruction, but Clone Theo clapped his hands and formed huge trigrams in the air, showing them he was enough to handle this monster.

"You bastard!" The scorpion gritted its teeth and slammed his pedipalps to Theo.

The latter spun the trigrams. On his left, a mountain appeared. On his right, a stone wall emerged.

The monster had seen this ability and got trapped yesterday, so it immediately stopped and took a few steps back.

"!!!" They didn't expect the World Class Monster to fear Theo's power, but it showed that they weren't needed on the battlefield anymore. All they had to do was one thing, keep the monsters away from here. And Theo would do the rest.
