God of Tricksters

"Welcome to Domodedovo."

Theo was walking inside the airport accompanied by a woman on his side.

He soon stopped when he saw four people in front of him. The first was none other than the Wind Emperor, smiling at him.

The one who was pushing his wheelchair was a middle-aged man. He had white hair and wore sunglasses.

Still, the one that slightly surprised him was the two people next to him. The first one was a male in his early twenties. He had a scar running from his right cheek to his right eyebrows, increasing the intensity of his stare.

Yet, he didn't seem to be a talkative person, especially when he realized the man was trying to observe him first instead of showing his arrogance.

On his left was a girl. She appeared to be a lot younger than the man. She had long white hair tied into a ponytail.

Unlike the young man, the girl seemed to be hiding her intention by putting on that poker face.

Still, he understood why the Wind Emperor actually brought them here. He narrowed his eyes for a moment before smiling. "Thank you for coming all the way here, Sir Wind Emperor."

The Wind Emperor smiled and waved his hand, treating it as not a big deal. He was already satisfied when he noticed Theo's change of expression. This way, he didn't need to say anything about his intention.

"This is the acting head of the Czar." The Wind Emperor pointed at the man before introducing the other two. "The young man there is three years older than you and he's the current most promising guy in the family. As for this lass, she's an interesting kid. Come on, introduce yourself."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Yermolayev. I welcome you and I hope you have an enjoyable stay here." The middle-aged man politely nodded his head, introducing himself to Theo.

Although no one said it, there was a sense of jealousy in his eyes. After all, the Wind Emperor never acknowledged his talent despite becoming the leader. On the other hand, Theo was so young and had been acknowledged worldwide.

At the same time, his eyes contained no hostility, knowing that he couldn't replace the Wind Emperor if he passed away. So, it was better not to make Theo his enemy.

The other two had been informed by the Wind Emperor as well. They didn't dare to do the same thing as Zhilov or else they would get strict punishment.

The young man placed his hand on his chest as he bowed like a gentleman. "I'm honored to meet you. I am Lyovkin. If you find it hard to call my name, just call me Lov. And welcome to Russia."

After that, the young lady immediately lifted her skirt a bit and introduced herself. "I'm Levina. It's my pleasure to meet the man who is acknowledged worldwide. You're my idol."

Theo smiled and nodded. "Hello, I'm Theodore. Just call me Theo."

Agata also stepped forward and politely introduced herself. "I'm Liza, Theo's assistant."

"…" Yermolayev raised his eyebrows, stunned for a few seconds. However, his expression soon returned to normal.

The Wind Emperor smiled and added, "He's this guy's son while the girl is his niece. Lyovkin is good at Wind Manipulation… Well, he's better than the rest. As for Levina, she's a bit unique because her power doesn't come from her body but her weapon.

"Anyway, I will explain what you are going to do for the next three months in the car." The Wind Emperor glanced at Yermolayev.

"Please follow me."

He guided them to the car before helping the Wind Emperor up. After that, he went to the driver's seat.

Theo was quite surprised to see the head of the Czar drive him, but considering the Wind Emperor was one of the passengers, it was plausible.

As soon as they entered, Levina gathered her courage and asked, "I'm sorry for being rude, but I have seen your records of your power. If it's possible, can you have a spar with me?"

Theo raised his eyebrows. The Wind Emperor seemed to want to reprimand her, but Theo simply smiled. "Sure. Sir Emperor said you're unique, so I'm curious about your power."

"Are you sure?" The Wind Emperor glanced at him.

"Yes. This may be an International Mission, but this is also my personal training. So, I'm planning to fight as much as possible."

"In that case, do you want to join the friendly competition with the Empress' Palace?"

"What's that?"

"It's just a friendly spar. We send three of our prominent youths and have them spar. That's all."

"Ehm, I think that's rather inappropriate. After all, I'm not from the Czar."

"That's fine. After what you have done to Zhilov, we have lost one of our fighters, you see." The Wind Emperor smirked, pressuring him to enter.

Theo thought for a moment. He planned to learn as much as possible, so the sparring was actually a good opportunity. After all, he still had his eyes that could see through the skills.

If he could experience what it felt like fighting them, he would surely find something good during the match.

At the same time, the Empress must send her best people, so this would be the best opportunity for him.

"Well, I need to ask for other permissions first. No matter what, I'm still an outsider."

"Actually, these two are the other participants."

"I want to see it," Levina answered without hesitation.

"In that case, I would like to ask for a spar with you first. Although I have seen your records, I want to experience your power first hand. Of course, if you reject it, I won't complain." Lyovkin replied with a calm expression.

"Sure thing."

"Good. You can spar tomorrow since the event is in two days." The Wind Emperor looked at the two kids and said, "Don't embarrass our name, okay?"

"Yes, Grandfather!" They immediately replied in unison.

"Well, since this is a special occasion, I guess you can stay at my house." The Wind Emperor glanced at Theo. "You don't mind, right?"

"Of course.." Theo smiled.
