God of Tricksters

Chapter 327 - Goal

"Ehm?" Nella flinched as she felt some changes in Theo's eyes. It made her a bit uncomfortable, but she believed she had reached his heart after comforting him, so she replied with a smile. "I just did what a family should do."

Theo smiled back without saying anything regarding his thoughts. "Thanks to you, I have calmed down."

Nella muttered inwardly, 'I wonder if that's the case? I know that Theo would break apart after knowing the truth, so I have searched for a way to comfort him. But when I saw people breaking, they normally lasted longer. Maybe Theo's mental fortitude is among the best, so he can calm himself down faster?

'I don't know anymore. There is also that smile that seems to be able to comprehend me… No, it's a smile that judges me. Well, whatever. As long as he is fine, I am good.'

Since Nella didn't speak, Theo continued, "That's right. Since you said you had researched many things about the Griffith Family, can you show me? I would like to learn about them even if I don't want to be a part of them."

"Sure." Nella nodded without hesitation. She took out her Skylink and opened some files she prepared earlier. "Let's take a look at this…"

Nella began showing him everything she got. Theo even asked a few things that she never thought about.

With all those questions, she felt she could continue her research, making sure she didn't make a mistake in choosing her life choice.

They ended up using the entire night to discuss many things about the Griffith Family. Theo also understood and confirmed his decision to avoid that kind of family.

The next day.

Theo gradually opened his eyes as the sunlight blinded his eyes.

"Mhm?" Theo let out a small groan as he rose from the chair. Although he felt uncomfortable sleeping on the chair, he had gotten enough information to make him satisfied.

He looked at the bed where Nella slept and called the room service to bring him food. He took a shower and prepared himself for the interview today.

After taking another look at Nella, Theo finally left his room.

Little did he know, Nella had already woken up.

She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. Tears flowed out of the corner of her eyes as she muttered, "People said indifference is the last stage of hate… When you hate people, it means you still care enough to think about them. However, I couldn't see any of it left in his eyes as if he just feels indifferent toward them.

"I don't know why his parents left him… Suppose they have a big reason like having enemies… No, no. The Griffith Family has many enemies, but it's not enough for them to leave their son behind. After all, if that were the case, I would have the same experience.

"Is it because of his talent? But with how miserable his life was, their next target was supposed to be me. Did my father actually make his parents leave him? No, there is a rule that binds him. In that case, what's the reason? I can't just find any big reason…

"Should I go to the main family to investigate it? But it also means I will be trapped there for the rest of my life." She sighed. "This is a hard choice. I love and care for Theo, but I still hope I can get my own life instead of making my life revolve around him.

"What should I do?" She closed her eyes again before rising from the bed, seeing a hot breakfast on the table. Next to them was a note from Theo.

She glanced at the food on the table, picked the note up and read it. "Thanks for everything. I will try to return as soon as possible, but if you are bored, you can go around first. You can call me too. And don't forget to eat this breakfast and pick up some clothes if you desire to stay here. I'm expecting to learn many things from you."

Nella tilted her head with mixed feelings. After a while, she chuckled and said, "Well, if they have their own reasons for abandoning him, I will still punch them, especially if they dare to say we also suffered too and we were forced to leave you. The one who hurts the most is not them, but Theo. I suppose… I still have a few months before my 18th birthday, so let's take my time and consider my choice… Shall we?"

Meanwhile, Theo began his exchange with the representatives of companies, countries, organizations, and wealthy families.

Only those who came from the seven countries understood that this was only a farce since Theo had decided everything. At the same time, Theo had prepared the written statement and sent it to their representatives.

He stated three things. First, he would have the time to take care of one thing in his country. The latest he would go to them was when he reached Level 500, which might require around two to three years. Second, no country could threaten him to make this choice. Third, he had the right to choose any influences he wanted to have in the future.

Theo stated these things because no matter how bright the country operated, they could still kill him in the dark. After all, the moment he didn't choose any of these countries, all of them would be angered and chase him to death. This was something he couldn't afford unless he were a Supreme Rank Expert.

He considered having the influence to rely on was for one thing: their connections.

Theo had once thought about creating an influence, but he realized not only would it take a huge amount of resources, but he also needed an insane amount of connections to make it big. Hence, rather than creating it from scratch, he planned to take over an influence.

He could work his way up and controlled the entire influence. However, what he desired the most was their information network.

He didn't even know how to establish such a thing, so it was better to rely on them and he could pour the time he wasted on creating this influence from scratch to training and leveling up.

With such a clear goal, Theo finally took a step forward.
