God of Tricksters

Chapter 338 - The Importance Of Identity

As soon as he returned to the other side, Theo's Skylink rang. He furrowed his eyebrows and saw the name who called him.

He picked up the call with a serious face. "Yes. Do you need anything from me, Sarah?"

It was his assistant from Fighter Temple.

Normally, the assistant was forbidden to call the one they supported unless something was important or received a mission.

Hence, Sarah hurriedly made her point before saying anything useless. "Hello, Sir Theo. I apologize for calling you right now, but I have just received a mission for you personally."

"A request?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. The mission is coming from an individual called Taerk. The reward is two million Zils. As for the mission, it's to kill a Level 280 Monster called Squiddy Lamp, which resides in Lambert Lake. I can send you the map and information if you choose to accept the mission."

Theo gently pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. He muttered inwardly, 'A mission with this kind of reward is certainly normal, but I never expect to get a mission like this easily. In other words, this Taerk has a hidden intention in giving this request to me. Besides, I need to level up a bit more if I want to kill this powerful monster.

'The risk is too big, not because of the monster, but because of the hidden intention behind it. I guess this is my decision.' Theo narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you for calling me. However, I have a few things to do since I have just returned here. Hence, I am afraid I need to turn down the request."

"I understand. I shall explain it to him and do you wish to let others know that you are not getting specific requests for the time being?"

"You can do that?"

"Of course. It's my job. I can even arrange all the mission information for you in your email instead of calling you like this. Since this is the first time, I thought I should call you to establish an agreement."

"Can you do that for me? Maybe, just compile it and send it to me every week. If I happen to find a good mission for me, I will go. Else, I will just stick with normal missions in the quest board."

"Certainly."

"Alright. I think that's all."

"Before you hang up, I would like to thank you on behalf of this country and the Fighter Temple for getting third place in the Grand Gaia Competition and becoming the MVP."

"It's my pleasure." Theo nodded. "That's right. Can you change my job to Magic Warrior instead of Fighter? And do I need to go to you personally to handle this matter?"

There was no need for Theo to hide his power from all citizens since everyone surely had watched his performance. At first, he thought it would be effective if they expected him as a Fighter, but it turned out he used Magic too. He just never had the urge to utilize it until the competition.

Now that everything had been revealed, Theo chose to change it to his proper job.

"Yes. It should be easy to do it. And due to the fact that both Jobs are coming from the same Temple, you don't need to come personally."

"That's good. I will leave it to you."

"Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Theo muttered in a low voice only he could hear, "Hmm, no one has my contact for the time being, including my place to live. As for my other identity, I don't think anyone other than my own teammates suspects it, so this is a good chance to use it.

"At the same time, if I add another identity right now, it will become extremely suspicious because it's not normal for a high-level person to register unless they have a certain objective. It seems my Joker Identity can finally be used to its fullest potential.

"All I need to do is to wear my mask when coming out. No, I should use a mask to rent my new house. It's true that I need to use my real ID to register the house, but unless they are checking the estate companies one by one, it's hard to find my identity. And if they find me, I will know where I should go. I guess this is a temporary solution."

With that thought in mind, Theo decided to return to his home first to grab his mask before going to another city where he wished to live.

The city was called Nesi City. It was only fifteen minutes away from the other city and thirty minutes away from the second gate of Thersland. The housing in this place was cheap, so it should be perfect for getting a cheap but big house while spending the rest of the money on Skill Cards to upgrade his own skills.

He chose a random real estate company and entered the office with his mask.

Obviously, such an appearance made him suspicious, but at least, they didn't know it was Theodore Griffith.

"Hello." Still, the employees needed to be professional as one of them approached him. "Welcome. I am Alisa. I will help you to find the best house or apartment you want."

"I am planning to rent a house." He thought for a moment, recalling what he needed from a house. "I want to rent a big house with a garden, a pool, and a gym if possible."

"Certainly, please follow me first. I will check it for you." She extended her hand to her own desk, asking Theo to follow her.

Theo nodded, followed her, and waited while she started typing a few things on her keyboard.

"There is one house that matches your description. However, the owner needs a one year deposit…" The employee made a slightly pained expression as she knew that one year option wasn't that good of an option for an expert like him.

Those who fought on the other side had the chance to become rich in an instant or lose everything, including their life, so this was usually burdening someone like him.

However, Theo still asked, "What's the rent?"

"Because it's one year rent, the owner has put a discount. The price is 15 million Zils per year. However, the owner built this house specifically for hunters."

"The price is not a problem."

"I understand." The employee nodded with a relieved expression. "When do you wish to move?"

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow if possible. I don't mind paying a bit extra."

"In that case, we will arrange the cleaners, gardener and others to make the house comfortable for you to use. You should be able to move in two days."

"That's good." Theo nodded.

"Then, let's finish the paperwork."
