God of Tricksters

As soon as he entered the fog, his visibility dropped.

The hot temperature suddenly cooled down and his mind felt refreshed.

"Mhm?" The guy was surprised for a moment before he heard Theo's voice from beside him. "Continue driving."

"Huh?" Ronald was startled and hurriedly turned around, finding Theo in the seat next to him. "Wh—!"

He wanted to scream, but Theo used his Telekinesis to maintain the steering wheel and the pedal. After that, he snapped his finger so that his scream didn't come out.

Theo looked at him with a gentle smile. "Calm down for a bit."

"That's…" Ronald was gasping for air, trying his hardest to calm down. He was simply too shocked since Theo appeared like a ghost.

But he also realized there was no way the agents that brought him here didn't leave any device that could capture whatever happened inside. There must be a hidden camera and microphone inside the car.

However, Theo said, "Don't worry about anything. I've taken care of everything. Right now, the camera only shows you driving calmly. The microphone is only hearing your voice. So, yeah, everything is under my illusion. No one will know that you and I are meeting like this."

Ronald took a deep breath after listening to him. He was worried that he would harm him or end up killing his family for this. But Theo didn't seem to be that evil compared to the government, who would do everything to achieve their goals.

"That's… Sir… I'm sorry…" Ronald's voice started shaking. He was ashamed to do all this.

Theo, on the other hand, had a calm smile on his face as if he had predicted everything. "Are they taking your family hostages?"

"Yes." Ronald nodded. "But I can't do anything. If I ever do something that will harm them, they're going to give a signal for their team to kidnap my people. Even if I receive your help, they said there are many people observing us right now. So…"

"What would you do if I told you I could not remove all those people at once?"

"…" Ronald looked down. Even though Theo was strong and could kill many people with a single wave of his hand, it was a different matter if those people scattered and hid in all kinds of spots. So, he could only sigh, knowing he had no chance of saving his family.

"However, you don't have to worry about your family." Theo smiled and asked, "Have you seen your family?"

"I have called them. They have shown me my house as well."

"Is it from the back of your house?"

"How do you know?" Ronald widened his eyes in surprise.

Before answering him, Theo asked, "Are you blaming me for this? After all, if I didn't tell you to come to me, you wouldn't face this trouble."

"I…" Ronald scratched the back of his head, ashamed. "If they only targeted me, I wouldn't care much about this. It's just…"

Theo smiled and opened his Skylink, showing him an image of a car and two people near his backyard. But it was clear the picture was taken from a different angle, meaning this was from Theo's group instead of the government.

"This…" Ronald gasped.

"Don't worry. My people are protecting your family right now. If they try to harm your family, they will make their move and protect them." Theo smiled, assuring him.

"Your people…" Ronald realized Theo had foreseen this event. It seemed he had gotten involved in Theo's plan before he realized it.

Theo continued, "I know you're looking for evidence for them. I apologize for making you involved in this…"

"I…" Ronald didn't know what to say. He respected Theo from the bottom of his heart for doing so many things for them. But he wasn't prepared to be involved in this matter without his knowledge.

That was why Theo assured him, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you and your family. I guarantee it with my name. It's just…"

Ronald fell silent, listening to him attentively.

"The Vice President is missing. I believe he has gotten some help to escape… Do you think I can just forgive them easily after their blunder? Do you know the reason why those monsters came to this place?"

"Is it because the Vice President wanted…" Ronald suddenly stopped when Theo showed him a picture of a ruined laboratory. There were a few human bodies and something slimy attached to them.

"This is…" Ronald gasped. After getting Theo's words two days ago, he instantly followed all the news about Theo. He knew there was something similar to this laboratory in the past. It was the incident involving the Safulli Group.

It was said that a World Class Monster almost went to Italy to destroy it due to the secret experiment.

And this experiment might be different, but he knew Theo was trying to say this was the cause of the previous battle.

"Don't tell me…" Ronald gritted his teeth. "The reason why the battle happened wasn't due to the volcano but this? No, the volcano must be the one sending normal monsters at us while those plants, including the World Class Monsters, came because of this experiment."

Theo didn't say anything. He only showed the laboratory and Ronald misunderstood the entire situation.

Still, it was good for Theo if Ronald thought this way.

The government couldn't be trusted anymore. Seeing how the Vice President could still get away from this infuriated him.

"Wait. If you have this evidence, why don't you put it so that everyone can see?" Ronald instantly took back his words when he remembered the stand-off between the government and Theo's group.

He realized the government was trying to shut Theo up. They couldn't allow such a thing to spread because the people would lose trust in them.

At the same time, the government could claim they had found the evidence and prosecuted the Vice President without facing any backlash.

In other words, Theo couldn't make his move because of the government even if he wanted to.

And the reason why he met him here was…

Ronald's expression turned grim. He asked with a face filled with determination. "Do you need me to do anything for you, Sir?"
