God of Tricksters

Theo smiled. "I have a few warnings for you. First of all, even I don't know what will happen in this situation. That's why you're going to be responsible for everyone."

"I understand. I'll do my best to make sure everyone is safe." Felix nodded with a serious expression.

"The enemies are going to be coming from all sides, so it's impossible to block all of them unless you can spread the defense wide enough. Still, I know that they are able to come up with a plan to solve the situation.

"Still, if people are confused, you just have to tell them that I've prepared everything I can. They should be able to work it out themselves. But make sure they don't ask Alexa's help this time."

Felix agreed without hesitation. He knew that Theo wouldn't leave everything to them without any preparations.

Since he left the matter to them, he should have made enough preparation and they should figure it out themselves and found a plan that suited the current problem.

"And last but not least…" Theo's expression turned serious. "No matter how hard it is, don't show it. Lead them with your strength."

Felix didn't understand what he was talking about, but he still nodded his head. He thought Theo just wanted him to show a strong front and that was what he had done this whole time. So, he didn't know if he had misunderstood him or not.

After giving all the warnings, Theo finally closed the call with a sentence. "Felix. I leave them to you."

Felix closed his eyes for a moment as if steeling his resolve as the leader. He might not be the best leader since others' abilities were better than his, but it didn't change the fact that Theo chose him for a reason. And he simply had to prove Theo was right.

While Felix tried to gather all the people to discuss the incoming attacks, Theo sat on his chair with a troubled expression.

He was staring at the Skylink with an empty gaze as if he was contemplating whether he wanted to do it or not.

The Skylink was showing one number. It was a number he had never called.

After mulling over it for one minute, Theo decided to call him.

To his surprise, it took only one second before the other party accepted the call. It was as if he used all his strength just to increase his speed to the very limit so that he could pick up the call with his life on the line.

There was no sound coming from the other side, but Theo could hear the tiny nervous breath.

Theo sighed and finally opened his mouth. "It's been a while…"

Theo didn't know how to call him. On the one hand, he had chosen to go separate ways with him. On the other hand, he had heard about the truth from Loki, and the grudge between them had diminished over time.

Ultimately, Theo called him, "…Dad."

That was right. The one he called was actually Ray Griffith, his father. Their relationship was complex. Even this call was extremely awkward as both of them didn't know what to say.

"Yes…" Ray paused for a moment. His voice was shaking as if he didn't believe he would get a call from here. "Do you need anything from me… S…"

He couldn't finish it as Theo might not like being called that way. Instead, he chose to change the topic to make it less awkward.

The only reason why Theo called him was because of an important matter. Even when the base was attacked, he only informed Agata and Nella. So, reaching him directly meant this matter was at a larger scale than he could handle.

That was why Ray asked, "Since you called me directly, I'm assuming that there's something big troubling you. So… how can I help you?"

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling awkward. It felt like he was bossing around the people he had thrown away in his life.

It felt like a slap on his face. But this matter couldn't be stopped by his group alone. So, Theo ended up explaining the situation first. "The base is facing a huge problem and I won't be there to help.

"I've left the matter to Agata and Rea and I believe they can do just fine. Still, this matter is not as simple as anything they've ever faced. They might even lose their lives if they're not careful.

"So, I'd like to request you to help them. I also need the entire force of the new Griffith Family…"

After listening to the brief explanation, Ray thought for a moment and asked for confirmation, "The Griffith Family, huh? Do you need our strength or the information network?"

"That depends on the girls. I'm not there right now, so I don't know the whole situation."

"I see. Alright then, we'll work with them. I guess they will be the ones to explain the situation to us?"

"Yes. I'm here just to ask for your cooperation since I don't have much time."

"Alright. We'll be cooperating with them fully. The base is our home as well, so it won't be good if it's disturbed. But are you alright there?"

"Yeah, I think." Theo thought for a moment. His body was shaking as if he was having a hard time.

Meanwhile, Ray knew that it wouldn't be good to waste his time, so he asked, "Is that all?"

"Yeah. That's all."

"Alright. I'll bring the Griffith Family to your place then."

The atmosphere turned awkward again. They almost hung up the call before Theo finally decided to speak up.

"And…" Theo paused for a moment while taking a deep breath. It wasn't easy for him to tell this after everything that happened. But he still did it, "Once everything is over… let's have a talk again. But with one condition, it has to be the whole family."

"!!!" Ray shivered for a second, not believing what he had just heard. To think Theo would still give them a second chance, he couldn't believe it.

With how awkwardly Theo phrased it, it felt like Theo had been planning to do it from the start. And this help was just a convenient excuse he used.

Theo also made it clear that it had to be the entire family. It meant Ray wasn't the only one who would meet him. Valerie and his brother, Edward, would also be included.

He wanted to say something, but Theo hung up as if he couldn't continue the conversation anymore. But he had said everything he wanted.
