God of Tricksters

After that small discussion, they proceeded to eat. It was a simple and warm dinner as no one talked about business afterward.

In the end, the maids guided Theo and Agata to their rooms. For safety purposes, he asked for Agata's room to be next to him.

This would allow him to move immediately as soon as Ava heard something suspicious.

During that time, he just laid down on his bed and put off the reviewing process tomorrow.

When he was there, Ava was jumping around the room.

"What are you doing, Ava?" Theo asked while furrowing his eyebrows.

Ava stopped for a moment and opened her mouth. "I'm just checking if there's a camera or not. From the looks of it, there's no microphone that transmits our voice, but I'm not very sure about the camera. I should act normal while talking to you."

"Hmm'¦" Theo fell silent for a moment. Ava seemed to be working hard on her own part, so he couldn't help but smile. "Thanks. Since you talk to me, that means our voice is not transmitted anywhere, right?"

"Yes. Even if there's a headset, I should be able to hear them as long as they're in this house." Ava nodded.

"Well, this is the price you need to pay. The more dangerous you are, the more surveillance they will put on you. Though, I am still wondering whether he's placing a camera in this place." Theo shrugged.

"We can't let our guard down."

"I'm not, Ava. Sometimes, you just need to talk casually to see other reactions." Theo sighed.

"Then, it's fine." Ava nodded and looked at Theo. "Actually I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Are you not afraid that those people will come after you? They should have realized that we're going here, right?"

"Yes and no. If they still have their rational mind, they won't come to this place."

"Why?"

"First of all, the country will be taking a closer look when there's a huge influx of Mythical Rank Experts, especially if they come from the same influence.

"So, if they want to enter this place, they need to do it one at a time. This way, they will need a few months to do so. That's also why I didn't go with the Wind Emperor immediately and built up everything within three months.

"This way, they needed to retreat one at a time too, so it will take twice the time if they want to chase us to this place. By that time, we would have gone back to Italy."

"I see." Ava nodded in understanding. "What if they lose their rationality? What will they do?"

"They're going to retreat together even if it means antagonizing with Russia as a whole. After all, this is an act of aggression. Russia will prosecute their countries for doing so and the latter will abandon them.

"With the country abandoning you, you won't have any more standing in that particular country.

"After that, they will surely come to me without thinking since they have nothing to lose. The US will also put some traps for some counterattacks, considering I'm in this country.

"For a big country like this, it's easy for them to find the reason for their act of aggression.

"On the one hand, those people have become rogues since their influence is not recognized anymore. On the other hand, we are in the hands of one of the biggest companies in the US.

"It's easy for the US to pick a side even without any bribe. Besides, if I die, Sir Leonardo will make a fuss about it and the US will take a huge blow for this blunder. So, there's no way it's gonna happen."

After listening to his explanation, Ava let out a sigh of relief. "So, we'll be fine when we're in the US'¦"

"Essentially. Well, there's a scenario where they go to this place through the other side, but it will take time for them to reach this place from Russia. If they come while conserving their energy, they will be too late. If they rush to this place, they will be too exhausted to even fight and end up getting butchered by the country's defense force."

"Are you planning to hop to this country after this? I mean, the training session should have ended, right? There's nothing that holds you back from moving anymore." Ava asked.

"That's the plan. But I'm going to confuse them once more." Theo thought for a moment. "Do you remember what story I used to defeat the Safulli Group?"

Ava recalled it and opened her mouth. "Boris hid Agata from you, so you were trying to strike them."

"Yeah. Although I sound like a bad guy, if I stay in Italy for a moment, they will think Boris doesn't hide Agata anymore and give his blessing to our relationship.

"This way, many will think Agata has successfully seduced me and chained me down in Italy. So, I won't be leaving for another country as they're not necessary anymore. In other words, I'm tied down to the War God Family now."

"I see. So, the moment they aim at you in Italy, you're going to leave for another country. Are you going to let them attack you first to make it look more real?"

"Yes. At that time, I will flee to the US and accept Maya's offer. With this, they will be confused even more as I might just fool them again and actually go to Russia.

"And with all the expenses to do all these failed expeditions, they won't have enough to chase me again to the US or Russia. In other words, they will give up on this mission." Theo finished the explanation with a smile. "This is also the reason why I visited Russia first. It's to camouflage my real intention, confusing them between these two countries."

"I see. Will Agata follow you here?"

"I'm not very sure. She'd love to follow me, but she has her family there. At the same time, the contract will only bind me, not her, so if she comes with me, she will be bound by a contract too. Contracting the most beautiful woman comes with a huge price, you know.

"So, Agata needs to think this carefully, and I believe she's put some thoughts.. I will just wait for her response at that time."
