God of Tricksters

"This is…" Everyone was confused. The people underground thought there was something wrong, considering everything disappeared without any trace.

Meanwhile, the others thought someone sabotaged them since it would be impossible for all the traces to disappear right before their eyes.

But with the Time God protecting them, there should be no one who could use their power.

However, the Time God obviously knew about the Covenant Seal. He realized what had happened.

It turned out Theo dug the underground base before applying his Covenant Seal. He used the same technique as the one that created his territory.

There was no way the Time God would have noticed. And by the time he erased it, it was too late.

The Time God could freeze the entire area to stop the Covenant Seal from disappearing, but it also meant the people inside the ground were frozen in time. And the government couldn't act against Theo without those journalists.

So, he had no choice but to let the time flow like normal again even if it meant the evidence disappeared completely.

And the supervisor who knew what happened from the Time God became pale. He never thought such a situation would occur during his mission.

More importantly, the journalists that were inside the laboratory earlier had come out, demanding an explanation.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Are you sure you're not lying to us?"

"You said you allow us to get the evidence."

The people were angry. The government had paid a lot to bring them here. They agreed they would paint Theo in a bad way if the government could show the evidence to them.

However, looking at this situation, it didn't seem the government could maintain their public image anymore.

"Wait a minute. We also didn't know about this." The supervisor tried to stop him. He had to think about this carefully.

On the one hand, if he told them about Theo's interference like what the Time God said. They would doubt the government's power. After all, they had a lot of personnel unlike Theo.

On the other hand, if he didn't say anything, the journalists would destroy their reputations. And with this, the battle would be sealed.

"We're confused as well. Right now, the Time God will be conducting an investigation to understand what's happening right now." The supervisor decided to use the Time God to buy some time.

Meanwhile, he ran away, planning to inform the higher-ups regarding this incident.

Unfortunately for him, the only thing he got from them was their anger.

"What did you say?"

"Do you know what you're saying right now?"

The supervisor didn't know what to say as well. After all, the one who confirmed it was the Time God. "But the Time God said there is no more proof after that."

"You can take a picture of that symbol first before it disappears! We can claim it's the work of Theodore Griffith!"

"But the symbol was almost gone by the time we noticed. There was only a trace of light that couldn't be traced back to the original symbol, so…"

The supervisor was trying to explain the situation. He was truly helpless. Besides, before he could even say anything, the Time God had released his power, allowing the mark to disappear.

With this, they had no proof to attack Theo.

The government was completely in a bind. They didn't know how to deal with this situation.

They couldn't really blame Theo when there was no proof. Throwing a baseless accusation would simply destroy their image.

But even without saying anything, those journalists would devastate them.

"What should we do? Argghhhh!" The President pinched the bridge of his nose before slamming the table in anger. He truly didn't know what to do in this situation.

And before they could discuss the situation, there was a call from Theo, specifically from the supervisor that was observing Theo's territory.

"Sir. We've got a contact from Theo. He's demanding us to pull our troops back."

"What?"

The people were shocked. With the fact Theo had made his appearance near his territory, they should be able to focus on Roland. However, they were still searching for Theo's clone, who had yet to make his appearance even in the previous battle.

They were wondering what Theo was planning to do with his clone.

"What should we do?" The supervisor asked, not daring to go against Theo.

The President was glaring at his staff, asking for their opinion. Unfortunately, none of them could give him any answer.

"How about we try negotiating with him again?"

There was only one suggestion, but they doubted it would work, considering they had been the ones pushing Theo away.

However, they were out of options.

"We should negotiate with him to buy some time for our team to stop those journalists from his side. If we can't publish something good, he also can't."

"But they have the Light Assassin and Phantom Archer protecting them. We need our own Transcendent Level Experts too. But because of the recent matter, the King of Fighters is reluctant to move together with us."

"Then, we should send the other two."

"We should know the Sword Saint's daughter hasn't made her appearance. If those three fight against our two, we will be wiped out. The Time God can't make his move as well, since there is a distance between them."

"We've been had."

"Theodore Griffith has set up this trap and made sure it's a bit far away from each other, so the Time God can't reach that place in an instant."

"Kh. We should call Theo first to stall him."

"But his clone…"

"If we're assuming everything right now, we'll be too late. He has been striking us in rapid succession, so we have to fight back at the same speed or we will lose!"

The entire room became busy right away. They came up with another plan while the President called Theo to negotiate.

It didn't take too long for Theo to accept the call, albeit he only had one thing to say before hanging up.

"I'd given you a chance to negotiate, but you threw it away."
