God of Tricksters

Chapter 1169 Arrival

"Welcome to Japan's Kansai International Airport."

Theo looked at the sign on the ceiling while waiting for their luggage. They had finally arrived in Japan, specifically Osaka.

*Clack!*

*Clack!*

Jeff took two pieces of luggage, one for each of them. "This is our luggage. We should get going. I wonder if I have the time to visit Akihabara… My style is different, but maybe I can learn a bit from them and make a cute maid for our base…"

Theo looked at him before shaking his head helplessly. "Don't forget what I told you back then."

"Ahaha… I was joking. I've already been using only one style for a while… It turns out that dropping one style can make me more focused. Although it's true that two styles give me a lot of creativity and ways to draw something, I don't need them anymore since I have you who can fulfill my dream."

Theo retracted his gaze as they immediately left the airport, heading straight to the hotel.

However, right after they left the airport, there was a middle-aged man standing in front of him.

"Welcome to Japan, Mr. Joker." He smiled and politely bowed his head.

"Ehm? Do I know you?"

"I've been tasked to monitor you when you're in Japan. I'm just afraid that you're going to cause havoc in Japan like you did in Mongolia."

"It seems that you've heard about it."

"You're already on our radar the moment the Star Group makes you a visa. And two days are enough for us to know what has happened." He smiled, not holding back since it was useless to play dumb in front of Theo. Of course, he refrained from talking about something more secretive.

Of course, they didn't want any accident like the Bolhom Family to happen in Japan. Even though it was punishing evil, as long as the citizens didn't know much about it, they were still a legitimate family with many experts.

Although it was a sad truth of the society, they could only do it this way.

"Well, I only have one principle. As long as they don't bother me, I won't hit them. If you can prevent them from bothering me, that's all. After all, I'm here for one thing. If I can't do it, then I'll just go back after two or three days of vacation." Theo shrugged.

"Certainly." He nodded. "Oh, where's my manner… Apologize. Let me formally introduce myself. I am Masafumi Shinoda. You can call me Mr. Shinoda or just Shinoda."

"Mhm. I'm sure that you've been informed about him." Theo nodded and pointed his finger at Jeff.

"Jeffrey Watkins. Certainly." Shinoda acknowledged it without hesitation.

"Then, that's easy. Are you going to follow us in the open like this or…"

"Don't worry. Just treat me as if I don't exist. Although I will be near you, others won't realize it."

Theo nodded. "Well, nice to meet you. Hope that no one bothers me."

"Yes… Wait, no. I'll make sure that no one will do that." Shinoda smiled while adding, 'We can't afford to lose so many Mythical Rank Experts after all.'

After the brief exchange, Theo and Jeff immediately headed to the hotel. To make it simpler, they had a big room for two people, making it easier for them to talk.

"What do you think about that Shinoda?" Jeff asked.

"Nothing much. He's just doing his job." Theo shrugged. "The only reason we come here is to recruit someone. If that doesn't work, then we just leave this place. As simple as that."

"Still, from what I heard, the shield user… What's his name again?" Jeff took out his Skylink and searched for his profile. "This… Uozomi Ryoichi… He seemed to be able to kill people and monsters in the past.

"He lacked money in the past and became a mafia. However, one day, his own mafia group betrayed him and killed his wife and daughter. After destroying the mafia group, he joined another group and learned he couldn't harm both people and monsters anymore as if he had trauma.

"That was why he was kicked by the last mafia group. In the end, he created a small dojo to settle down himself. But that ended up a failure as well because his enemies ruined it again.

"In the end, that dojo only has him inside, no disciples or whatsoever. He was planning to retire just like that. It seemed that his enemies were too strong. The mafia group that betrayed him was simply taking an order from someone." Jeff read the information out loud while assessing their situation.

"So…" Theo glanced at him.

"If we bring him out here, we'll be targeted by his enemies."

"They need to talk with the Star Group if that's the case." Theo shook his head.

"That's true. Besides, if they're smart, they won't challenge me and create more mess. The same applies to the police since I'm just going to cause more ruckus if they want to attack me inside the country.

"To put it simply, no one wants to light up the fuse of a walking bomb unless they're crazy." Theo shrugged.

"That's kinda true. Is that why you create your reputation like that?" He asked.

"Well, my original plan for my reputation was to make my words be taken seriously. I guess it becomes too serious." Theo chuckled, remembering how he wanted to build his reputation simply because he wanted to avoid random people creating trouble for him. And he somehow became too scary in people's eyes.

"For real? I guess they unknowingly created a monster."

"So, I'm a monster…"

"Oops. My loose mouth." Jeff looked away.

"Haha. It's fine. I don't really mind if you see me as something else. My attitude and actions won't change. And I also have my responsibility as the leader of our group." Theo chuckled.

"That's…" Jeff lowered his head. "I'm sorry. Even though it's a joke, a joke that can hurt you is not worth it."

"Well, I don't mind. I'm simply making our group not be too serious. It's taxing."

"I understand." Jeff nodded. "If that's the case, I'll continue… If we recruit him, there is one big problem."

"And that is?"

"He can't get stronger anymore. If he refuses to harm anyone, it will be impossible for him to level up. So, his progress will be stuck forever. No one is willing to invest a lot of money for someone like that… That's probably the biggest reason why they don't want to offend his enemies… He's simply not worth it."

"Alas, our views are different." Theo smiled and waved his hand as if he had another opinion about Uozomi Ryoichi. "We'll go to his dojo tomorrow to meet him personally."

"Got it."
