God of Tricksters

Chapter 1180 Killing the Death Reaper?

'An unknown woman crushed Winston in a one-on-one duel.'

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in shock while Jeff, who took a peek at what was going on, dropped his luggage.

"This is…" Theo narrowed his eyes and opened the news, reading it without caring about his surroundings.

"Winston has lost to this woman?" Jeff muttered while scratching the back of his head. "Hey, hey, isn't this woman using your words?"

Just like Jeff said, the news told them that the woman actually said to Winston, "You're nothing but an arrogant man who is drowned by your own pride in that pitiful list. Just like Joker, I can defeat you easily because I've been focusing on honing my skill instead of that ranking."

Theo once gave a similar statement. It was simply his excuse so that they accepted him in the ranking.

However, he never thought that there would be another person hidden like this. However, there was one thing that piqued his interest.

"This is… This woman is so bold…" Jeff narrowed his eyes, angered by her statement.

"Just like you, Joker can't hold himself back in the ranking. And now, he's grown weaker. Come out now, Joker. I'll defeat you right now."

"I want to smack this woman so bad." Jeff gritted his teeth. In his eyes, Theo was one of the strongest people under the Mythical Rank. To think there would be someone that wanted to challenge him.

Even Rea took her own Skylink to check the news, finding out something unexpected.

"This woman is…" Rea frowned.

"Do you know something about her?" Theo looked at Rea's shocked face.

"I've met her once." Rea nodded with a serious expression. "Back then, I was accompanying my father to attend a meeting with another top expert."

"Another top expert? Who is it?"

"3rd Strongest Person in the world, the Death Reaper."

"So, that's how it is." Theo sighed before he got another call. This time, it was from Maya. He accepted the call and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want me to see the news too?"

"No. There is a woman coming to the Starry Group and the Star Group, trying to challenge you. She's been creating a huge storm in the media. I'm afraid your reputation will be tarnished."

"I don't care." Theo shrugged. "I'm not accepting the fight."

"But you'll be labeled a coward sooner or later. She's manipulating people's opinions so that they can look down on you."

"Instead of worrying about my reputation, you should worry about yourself." Theo sighed.

"Worry about myself?" Maya tilted her head in confusion before there was a loud bang in her office, followed by someone's voice. "It's not good, Miss. There are many reporters in front of our company. According to them, you and Mark are the obstacles that need to be removed before Joker can be challenged."

Maya was too shocked that she dropped her Skylink.

"What the hell?"

Theo shook his head helplessly, realizing the enemy was moving faster than he expected.

"Tell your father that he won't have a peaceful time soon," said Theo. "And it seems that I've won the bet and got myself a new subordinate."

"What did you—Thud!"

Theo disconnected the call before Maya finished her sentence.

The bet he was talking about was obviously the condition that they had agreed on before Theo went to destroy the unknown base on the other side. In other words, Maya would become his subordinate when things went wrong.

And because of the lack of information from the Star Group, the enemies were aware of his involvement.

This time, they might come after him, so there was only one best thing he could do in this situation.

"Are you telling me that the third strongest person is going to come here to deal with you?" Jeff asked with his forehead getting covered by sweat.

"Yeah. Are you scared?" Theo smiled.

"I would be lying if I said I didn't, but just like last time, I'm ready to fight to the death."

"Don't worry, Jeff." Theo shook his head. "We're not in Japan… Since this is my home ground, I'll show you something special."

"Something special?" Jeff widened his eyes. "Do you have a way to escape from this situation?"

Even Rea carefully fixed her hair around her ears, so she could listen to their conversation clearly.

However, Theo shook his head and said, "I'll tell you later in the car. Though, I also want you to do something for me."

"Understood. Order me anything." Jeff was wondering how they were going to fight back, but Theo seemed to be confident in this.

They immediately headed to the company car and apologized to the driver that he wanted him off for a private conversation. After giving some bonuses to the driver, Jeff drove the car back to the mansion.

The atmosphere was tense the whole time, wondering what Theo wanted to say.

Since they were too curious, Theo opened his mouth.

"This is something that I can only do once, but well… I might need to say that if the Death Reaper comes to this country personally to deal with me, she'll be dead." Theo smirked.

"What? The Death Reaper?" Jeff sucked a cold breath, not believing what he had just heard. Theo claimed he could kill the third strongest person in the world? It would certainly have a huge impact on the world. And no one would believe a Supreme Rank Expert said he could kill the Death Reaper.

"You can defeat her? How?" Rea couldn't contain her curiosity. She was too shocked that Theo claimed something this unbelievable.

Theo looked at her in contempt. "Heh. Why don't you ask your father? He's the Sword Saint, right? He should be able to cut her down, though, after paying some prices."

"Are you planning to have me call my father here? You must be insane."

"Oi, oi. Who do you think you're talking to? I am not asking your father to come because I know that your father will come no matter what." Theo shrugged.

"He will come?" Rea sucked a cold breath.

"Well, I don't care much about him because…" Theo looked to the front. "Jeff. I'll be counting on you to create my ultimate weapon that can kill the so-called Death Reaper."

Although he didn't know what kind of weapon Theo was talking about, Jeff still nodded as this was a heavy responsibility. "I understand. I'll create that ultimate weapon to perfection."

Theo smiled evilly. He had been preparing himself before even going to meet the Frost Giant. At first, he wanted to use this to stop or kill his grandfather, the current ranked 9th person in the world. However, it seemed that the Death Reaper was courting death.
