God of Tricksters

Chapter 1403 Discussion

On the other battlefield.

After the Griffith Family ran away, Theo met up with the Sword Saint while Leonardo went to Valerie and Ray together with Nella.

"So, what are you going to do now? After thinking for a while, I can understand that you're in a dire position." The Sword Saint asked.

"I'm not very sure. I have to do some calculations first before making another move." Theo sighed.

"That's true. A half-baked decision will lead you to ruin, especially if they know that your clone can use Order as well. It's a freaking powerful technique that everyone wants to possess. If they can't get it, they'll eliminate you.

"After all, no one will reject having two Top Ten Experts in their country, especially an immortal one, since you can be hidden and just use your clone to do all the jobs." The Sword Saint shrugged.

"Is that the reason for you to stay with me? If you kidnap me here, no one can do anything about it." Theo looked at him with a serious expression.

"Hahaha!" Nagasawa Ken chuckled and said, "I'm just playing the long-term game. And becoming your ally is something that I can use as an inheritance. Knowing you, I don't think you'll abandon my children."

"…" Theo closed his eyes for a moment and sighed. "The situation is too complicated. I'm worried that we're going to be surrounded by multiple Saints."

"The Wind Emperor?"

Theo shook his head, indicating that the Wind Emperor wouldn't participate in any more battles due to his age and health.

"I see." The Sword Saint thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think you can escape from this kind of situation?"

"Which country will become the greatest enemy?" Theo answered with another question.

"Country…" The Sword Saint fell silent. Two superpower countries had become Theo's allies through the Star Group and the Wind Emperor. Then, the most important factor in this equation would be that one country. The Sword Saint answered with a serious expression. "China."

Theo smiled. "What if I turn them into my ally?"

"Huh?" The Sword Saint was confused for a moment but fell silent, thinking about the possibility. He got many questions about this plan, but knowing Theo, he mentioned it because he had some confidence in turning them into an ally. If he truly had three superpower countries supporting him, he should be able to create a stalemate against the Griffith Family.

"Still, the Griffith Family is the best in the espionage industry."

"Don't worry. I'm going to throw the bait pretty soon."

"Well, if you have some confidence in dealing with the situation, I won't worry too much. If you need some help, just tell me about it. The situation will be chaotic soon."

Theo nodded in agreement. "Well, you can relax for a few days. Do you want to join me at the celebration party?"

"I don't mind that, but this is your group's moment, no?"

"Nah, it's fine. The Mota Family will join too anyway, so you can use this opportunity to talk to your daughter."

"Hahaha!" The Sword Saint patted his shoulder. "Then, I guess I'll stay in this country for one more day."

"So, do you want to drink?" Leonardo suddenly came over with a smirk. "I still save the wine this guy gave me. The taste was beyond anything I drank so far."

"Really? Then, I'll accept that invitation." Nagasawa Ken nodded in agreement.

"Grandfather." Theo politely bowed his head to him. This time, it wasn't just a letter. Theo finally called him grandfather for the first time.

The grandson he had lost for 23 years had finally returned home. Relief, happiness, and sadness mixed in his heart. He was relieved to know that Theo had finally returned her. He felt happy because his grandson finally acknowledged him as his grandfather. And he was sad to think this grandson experienced so much bad stuff in his childhood.

He couldn't help but say, "Don't worry about the government. It's easy to convince them. I'll handle the prime minister himself. Your group has four Orders with you being counted as two. No nation will reject you if you want to stay here."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

"How about your living quarters?"

"I just need to finalize the deal."

"You can stay in your mansion during that time."

"No, it's fine. The construction won't take that long anyway." Theo shook his head. "Though, there are going to be problems."

Leonardo smirked and added, "I'll help you too."

"Huh?" Theo was confused. Leonardo had his motto, so helping him meant breaking his motto.

However, Leonardo explained the scenario. "This is not my love but a transaction. You seem to be capable of teaching people, right? You teach some of the younger generations. Just by making them know that you have two subordinates with an Order make it clear that you are a capable teacher. The fee is huge. So, I'll be the payment."

Theo couldn't help but smile seeing Leonardo try so hard just to twist the logic so that he could help him. But it was indeed his way.

"Hey, hey. If you begin your teaching class, I do want to reserve that spot." The Sword Saint's eyebrows twitched.

"No can do. It's family's related business! No outsiders allowed." Leonardo stuck his tongue out.

"What did you say?" The Sword Saint glared at Leonardo.

"Hahaha." Leonardo chuckled.

"Then, it's time for me to leave."

Leonardo fell silent. He wanted to say it but couldn't. His parents were here, so Theo could meet them. But he didn't want to mention it because he didn't want to make Theo feel guilty just for his personal satisfaction.

He made a wry smile and said, "I understand. This is your big day, so you should go right now."

Theo nodded. However, Theo suddenly glanced to the side before leaving, seeing his parents one more time.

Valerie looked away, ashamed. On the other hand, Ray looked at him with a grim expression as if telling him that he acknowledged the mistake and was prepared to be responsible for the consequences as the head of the family. He knew he was guilty, but he wouldn't run away from it just because he was ashamed.

Finding Theo still glancing at them was enough for him. Even Nella had some admirations in him as she tugged his sleeve and pointed at herself.

Even though there were no words exchanged between them, Ray understood Nella's gestures.

Ray smiled and nodded to her, slightly pushing her back so that she could chase after Theo.

At the very least, Nella would still report to him that Theo was fine. That information alone was enough for him.
