God of Tricksters

Chapter 686 - Safulli Group

"So, you're saying I'm the problem?" Theo shook his head helplessly. "I still need to know the situation first."

"Not really. They indeed wanted to kill me from the start and your appearance became the catalyst." Lorenzo shrugged.

"I see. For now, I want to hear the story from the start. If I don't know anything about this, I will remain silent." Theo sighed and thought for a moment. "By the way, is it alright if I ask Agata to hear this too? I'm kind of training her in this area, so… yeah."

"It's fine. Felice knows about it too, so it's okay for your assistant to learn this matter. There are already a few people who have noticed the problem, including my father after all."

"Then, why don't your father act?"

"He can't afford to make a move due to the backing. According to him, I need to handle this problem myself as training to be a family head. After all, I can't afford to ask for his help all the time when I succeed him.

"Also, he has made sure to cut the connection between this mastermind and their backer. In other words, he wants to train me by dealing with the mastermind.

"To be honest, he has gotten involved enough and it's my mistake that I'm in this situation. Although I don't want to involve others, I am afraid you have already become a part of this, so yeah… I would like to request your assistance."

"Okay. I got the gist of it." Theo nodded. "Just cutting the connection between them alone is enough help from your father. You can imagine this support as the help you can get after using the War God Family when you rule over it.

"The rest will be up to you… And this should be the reason why the War God Family can produce talented people."

"Yeah. I don't want to disappoint him."

"Well…" Theo fell silent for a moment and Agata suddenly entered the tent even though no one called her.

It was Ava who asked her to go to Theo, so the others wouldn't feel suspicious.

"Okay. Please explain from the start." Theo nodded to Lorenzo.

"Mhmm… Let… me… explain…" Suddenly, Felice's voice echoed inside the tent. It was so weak as they noticed she had just woken up.

"Ah, we're too loud, it seems."

"Felice!" Lorenzo hurriedly grabbed her hand and checked her body. "Are you alright? Do you need anything? I will bring it to you immediately."

"Idiot Master…" Felice smiled and weakly raised her hand, putting it on Lorenzo's cheek. "I'm fine."

"I'm glad." Lorenzo felt relieved.

"I should… explain…"

"No. You should have a rest. We will go somewhere else to talk about this." Lorenzo shook his head, denying her request.

"If I… can't… Let… me listen." Felice begged him with her eyes.

Even Lorenzo ended up gritting his teeth as his heart melted. He sighed, "I understand."

Felice smiled and turned to Theo. "I'm sorry… for this display… and thanks."

"It's fine." Theo waved his hand while smiling. He then turned to Lorenzo as if asking him to start.

Lorenzo took a deep breath and started explaining. "Alright. This started a year ago. I took a mission from a small company to levitate their position a little bit.

"On the way, we stumbled upon a bigger problem, but I didn't care and continued to push through that problem. Eventually, I managed to solve the issue and achieved my goal.

"However, it turned out that the situation became even more complex due to the enemy being the subordinate of Safulli Group."

"Safulli Group?" Theo frowned as he had heard about this group before.

Agata added some details for Theo. "Safulli Group is one of the top ten influences in Italy. Hmm… How should I compare this… The War God Family and the Church are number one and two respectively.

"My family is among the top ten, but we're around rank 9 with five Mythical Rank Experts. As for Safulli Group, they're in the top 5, rivaling the Pietro Family and Baio Underworld Group.

"This Safulli Group ruled over Florence and they seemed to have backing from another country. I need to open the information from the War God Family to look into more details… But well, I know them a bit because they have been trying to swallow my family."

"Ah, right!" Lorenzo opened his eyes as if he had remembered something. "If I were not wrong, they wanted to marry you to a middle-aged man… Who was it again?"

"The first time was his son, but after the entire conflict escalated, the father took over."

"Yeah. Something like that. You didn't have a good school life because of this conflict, no?"

"That's not important right now. For now, I will tell you about the Safulli Group." Agata shook her head. "Let me think about it first…"

She was trying to recall her memory about this while Lorenzo added, "The conflict only stopped after the pope made his move, right?"

"Are you trying to poke my problem right now?" Agata narrowed her eyes with a cold gaze.

Even Felice, who was still lying down, pinched Lorenzo's thigh as hard as possible.

"Ah!" Lorenzo looked down while closing his right eye as if he was enduring the pain. "Sorry, sorry. It was inconsiderate of me."

"I apologize," Felice wanted to get up, but Lorenzo immediately stopped her and lowered his head to sincerely apologize to Agata.

"As long as you know." Agata shrugged. "Anyway, the Safulli Group is a powerful group. Their influence is not comparable to the War God Family, but if we're talking about Lorenzo, whose influence is smaller than the War God Family, he will have a hard time.

"After all, his father limits his influence to train his problem-solving skills. I believe that he's going to make a move if necessary."

"That's what I would like to avoid. I can't rely on my father all the time. What if he retired? If I became too dependent, I would ruin the family later." Lorenzo shook his head.

Suddenly, Theo coughed to grab their attention before saying, "So, this Safulli Group… Is it fine if we destroy them? They have no backing anymore, so all I need to know is the extent of the conflict before seeing whether I should personally make a move or not."
