God of Tricksters

While they were busy out there, Theo was chilling in his mansion. He even took some time to rest.

In the garden, Theo was lying down while closing his eyes as if sleeping.

But he was soon disturbed when his vision darkened due to someone blocking the sunlight.

He gradually opened his eyes and found Rea standing next to him, bending her body so that Theo noticed her.

"What are you doing?" Theo narrowed his eyes, annoyed.

"I want to talk to you about something important."

Theo looked at her serious expression and finally rose from the ground. "Sure. Let's talk there."

"Here is fine. You can just relax." Rea made a wry smile.

He felt silent for a few seconds before sitting down on the grass. "Okay. What do you want to talk about?"

Rea gracefully bent her knees down so that her feet were neatly tucked in place, underneath her body.

"Actually, I've talked to my father… I've heard that you want ten Mythical Rank Experts, right?"

"Who told you that?" Theo frowned before shaking his head. "Never mind. Must be that blabbermouth, Isaac."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine. He's useful because his blabber mouth sometimes can fool the enemies." Theo shrugged. "Anyway, what do you want with that knowledge?"

"Is it possible for me to become one of them?" Rea asked with a serious expression.

"You want to be one of them? Do you know the implication it will bring to you and your family?"

"I know. I've talked to my father about this. He said that the implication can be avoided as long as there is a scheme about disowning me. When it becomes too far, my father can simply take me back, saying that you have led his daughter astray."

"Hoh? You wanted to escape and even framed me?" Theo smirked as if he felt challenged.

"That won't happen unless you use me too far." Rea shook her head. "Besides, I can help you wholeheartedly if you agree. Even though I'm like this, I have a big influence on my father's group. They will help you gather information or anything as long as it doesn't harm my father.

"Also, I can teach you a more detailed Technique that I've learned from my father so far. Besides, I am already at the level of Rachel, and my level is approaching the Mythical Rank. As long as I become one, I don't think I will be weaker than Ergene."

"What a bold claim." Theo snorted.

"That's not a bold claim. I'm sure that you already know about my brother's power… My strength is similar to his. Also, I am more of a secretary type… I can work as your secretary like the one you had in Italy."

"And what do you wish to seek from me?" Theo asked.

"That's…" Rea hesitated a bit. It was clear that lying to Theo wouldn't help in this situation, so she could only be honest with him. "By becoming your assistant, I can learn more from you, just like your previous assistant."

Theo stared at her for a whole minute. She was kind of embarrassed, but she still stared at him with a serious expression to show that she was serious about this.

After a while, he finally said, "Two years. Tell your father that he can't take you back within two years, even if my order is ridiculous. Don't worry. I can promise you that I won't go that far. However, I want two years of your loyalty."

"There's no need for my father. I can promise you."

"Well, I can't really trust you one hundred percent, but I'll still delegate some tasks for you and give you some pieces of advice on your work. I know that even if I forbid you from calling your father, you will still call him. I'm sure you can understand why I can't trust you completely…"

"Yes, I understand. But I'll do my best in every task you give me."

"You are not qualified to be one of them now. I'll give you one year as the time limit. Within this one year, I will give you some tasks, and you're required to at least meet the minimum requirement… Also, you need to become a Mythical Rank Expert. If you can't fulfill these two conditions, don't dream about it. Just a reminder, if your father dares to scam me, I don't mind screwing him a little bit."

"My father actually wants to have a good relationship with you. So, I don't think he will harm you."

Theo shrugged. "Well, those are the conditions. What do you say?"

"I'll do it." Rea agreed without hesitation.

"Well, that's all. Since you're done, you should call Felix here. I need to talk to him."

"I understand. But before that, I want to ask one question."

"What is it?"

"Why two years? Normally, you will want at least five years at a minimum."

"You might not want to go back after two years. Or if you decide to go back, you will be replaced easily at that time." Theo answered coldly.

Even Rea was surprised by his first statement. What kind of tempting plan did Theo have to trap her in the group? To have her loyalty, Theo wouldn't harm her family, so she couldn't see anything that would tempt her.

Since she had received her answer, Rea left Theo and called Felix.

"Do you need me to do something?" Felix asked.

"I'm thinking about meeting that guy."

"That guy?" Felix was confused a bit before a person flashed in his mind. "The information broker that I told you about?"

"Yes. I'm going to leave the country soon to go to France and Kyrgyzstan to meet the person Jeff introduced and the information broker you introduced… Well, I might go to my home country to see my home for a bit."

"I see."

"Still, it's hard for us to go there because I don't think I will travel with more than one Mythical Rank Expert. So, tell Jeff that I'm going with him to France before we meet up in Kyrgyzstan."

"Okay. I'll arrange it. When do you want to leave?"

"Hmm…" Theo thought for a moment and raised a finger. "In one week."
