God of Tricksters

Chapter 1074 Rough Time

After leaving the crevice, Theo finally took a deep breath and asked, "So, what should we do now?"

"According to her, we'll be attacked around midnight. And we need to return to this place in 24 hours because of the threat that will sink this island." Maya thought for a moment, assessing their current situation.

"That's right. Since we know we will be attacked, we should prepare some traps." Isaac nodded in agreement before turning to Mark. "What kind of ability have you prepared to save us, Mark?"

"Ehm…" Mark scratched the back of his head. Now that they had gotten the prediction, they could prepare everything.

And since the mermaid didn't say anything about the place, they surely could pick any random place.

"Now that I think about it, the enemy this time seems to have something that can track us. Do you have anything that can be tracked?" Theo asked all of them.

"I don't think so. It might be a unique ability." Maya shook her head, thinking there was nothing like that in her belongings.

"I only prepared some clothes. You can check if you want." Mark shook his head. Because of the divination, he seemed a bit more open than before.

"I'm not going to betray you, you know." Isaac shrugged as there was no way he would betray him since he was staying in Theo's mansion.

Even if he did something, Felix would have found out since he was protecting both Theo and Millie from everyone.

"So, let's assume that the enemy has a special ability that can track us. It's impossible for us to know that ability, so we should prepare something." Theo thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's go around this place first and search for a perfect place to counterattack. And we need to make sure that none of them can escape…"

"That's true. Then, we should make a place where there is only one exit." Maya nodded in agreement.

However, Theo corrected her immediately. "Two."

"Huh? Why? There's no way we can stop all of them with two exits."

"If we don't have two, the enemy won't attack us. She said earlier there are numerous possibilities and the only thing that is meant to happen is reading my future. So, there must be a possibility of them not attacking us.

"Hence, we should provide them with enough chances to ambush us or they won't take the bait. After that, we will take them down." Theo explained.

"But it's hard for us to protect two exits… I mean, it means we will split into three groups: the bait and the two ambushers. Isaac and I don't have the ability to protect ourselves in case we're attacked by many people." Maya explained with a doubtful expression.

"I know. That's why Mark will remain beside you. As for the two exits, my monkey and I will take care of it." Theo explained. He thought the reason why he would expose his ability was due to the enemy cornering them to such an extent that he couldn't help but use either his Blink or Clone, which was his signature move.

Hence, he tried to use his monkey from the start so that no one exposed him.

"That's understandable." Maya nodded in agreement. She knew the monkey was Theo's clone, so even if he needed to hide that identity by using the monkey's figure, its ability was close to Theo.

So, there was no need to worry about Theo and his clone. The only problem would be whether Mark could hold the enemy down or not, considering the enemy this time might have a big number to force Theo to expose his identity.

'Hmm. I think we haven't gotten the answer to this question. Who is their target?" Isaac raised another question.

"You can think about it later… I mean, you can simply ask them about this question." Maya shrugged and glanced at Theo. Even Mark thought the same, thinking Theo could pull their souls and torture them in a way they wouldn't die. No one could withstand that kind of pain, so he thought everything could be solved by Theo's way of torture.

Mark added, "Well, I believe searching for such a perfect place to counterattack is the most important task right now since it's not easy to find that kind of place. How about we search for it first and start thinking about it later?"

"No, no. What I want to say is… If we know their target, the bait will be more effective." Isaac added, revealing another solution.

"Mhm? That makes sense." Maya somehow agreed. If Theo turned out to be the target, the assassins would just come to him instead of them.

"I am staying in my mansion most of the time and haven't provoked anyone… Well, if you consider me defeating Paula in the previous competition was a provocation, I guess that means Paula sent these people." Mark pointed at himself with a wry smile. "Apologize."

"Ehm, I was threatened to a great extent a few months ago. Only when I moved to Joker's house did I manage to escape from those threats… I guess they wanted the information in my head…" Isaac also gave another possibility before lowering his head. "I'm sorry, I guess."

"Well, the people in the business world want my life because of the Starry Group. There's a possibility they're coming for me too, since there are no Mythical Rank Experts around me." Maya scratched the back of her head with a tired smile.

Theo pointed at his mask and asked, "Why do you think I bother hiding my face?"

"…"

There was a long silence after they explained the possibility of this incident. It turned out all of them had a big issue in their lives that made people wish them to die.

And in the end, no one knew who the target was because each of the problems seemed to have enough possibility for this assassination.

Ultimately, all of them let out a long sigh at the same time and said the same thing.

"We all have a rough time, huh…"
