God of Tricksters

Chapter 419 - Preparation

After that, several calls came again, but Theo ignored them and continued searching for missions. If his joker identity got targeted, he simply changed back to Theo.

At the very least, there wouldn't be a problem within the first month since he would have gone somewhere.

And the moment they chased his Joker identity, he switched to Theo and reached level 350 with that identity. The Lange Family should be searching for Theo's real identity and might have found him, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

By that time, he should have finished his training and met his brother. Not long after that, there would be someone from the Griffith Family meeting him. He only needed to leave everything behind and go to another country.

And with them chasing Joker or Theo, he could publicly shame them and have another country release a statement that he fled from Thersland because he was threatened by them.

This would give them and the country a severe blow, while Theo simply went according to his plan… After all, the citizens could easily choose which one was right, the hero or a big "businessman".

"Besides, if I agree to this, I feel like I will end up in a team and some several troublesome missions. I don't have the time to do it, so it's better to stay away. I have another assurance anyway," said Theo while remembering his Metamorphosis.

Knowing all this in his head, Theo calmly ignored the call and continued searching for missions.

After a moment, Theo came across three missions that piqued his interest.

Mission: Kill five Atrocious Wolves and get their Vampiric Fangs Cards (Repeatable).

Level: 300

Reward: 2,500,000 Zils

Mission: Kill an Ancient Fire Mummy and get its rejuvenating bandage (Repeatable).

Level: 320

Reward: 3,500,000 Zils

Mission: Kill an Alpha Mutated Chimera Wolf.

Level: 350

Reward: 5,000,000 Zils

Theo showed Ava the map and pointed at a certain area. "See this? I'm planning to go to Sinx Forest, where the Mutated Chimera Wolf lives. Around this area, there are several missions I can get. I believe this is the best choice. So, instead of searching for the missions, I'm choosing the area first and work my way from there."

Ava nodded in understanding. "Kyu."

"Well, Sinx Forest and its surrounding is known as a place filled with wolves, so I can guess why there are many wolf missions." Theo chuckled. "Though, the fact we are fighting wolves continuously means we can grow accustomed to fighting them, allowing us to end the fight faster. More EXP."

"Kyu!" Ava stuck her tongue out while looking at Theo with expectation as if she wanted to try the delicacy.

"You're really a glutton." Theo shook his head.

"Kyu." Ava chuckled and leaped on top of his shoulder before rubbing their cheeks together. "Kyu."

Theo rolled his eyes and continued with what he needed to do.

With the money he got from the Lange Family, Theo started the shopping spree, buying as many Skill Cards as possible and combining them into one to upgrade his skills.

He ended up upgrading two more skills, even though it used almost all his money.

The two skills he upgraded were none other than his Blink and Illusion Manipulation. These two were his main skills, so he thought he needed to upgrade them.

And he certainly wasn't disappointed with the result.

Skill: Blink (B)

Effect: A Skill that allows the user to teleport to 100 feet (MAX) from them.

Skill: Illusion Manipulation (B)

Effect: Manipulate one's perception to make one get a sense of touch, smell, hearing and vision of an illusion along with the ability to manipulate a certain level of reality.

"Seriously?" Theo couldn't help but smile when he saw this result. First of all, his Illusion Manipulation allowed him to bring two more senses to the equation. "This is great. I can make the illusion a bit more realistic. Though…"

Theo looked at his Blink and noticed the word "MAX" in the description. "What is this Max? I can't update the skill anymore?"

Theo was confused and checked his Blink skill.

Skill: Blink (B) — Upgradeable

Upgrade: Fuse 10 Rank B Skills, 30 Rank C Skills, and 100 Rank D Skills

"Ehm, I can still upgrade it. Does it mean the skill will have an additional effect?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows. Unfortunately, he couldn't get the answer and God of Mischief seemed to have no intention of answering him. So, he just put the matter down by saying, "I guess it's good now. At least, I will know it after upgrading it once more.

"And the fact this skill came from Fenrir meant this is a good skill." Theo chuckled. Although Fenrir was harsh, he was indeed a very skilled individual. "Anyway, I'm going to restock our supply for our next expedition."

…

Meanwhile, the Lange Family, especially Endo Lange, didn't have any patience left. He slammed his own table and snapped it to half.

"Bastard!" Endo gritted his teeth. Because of what happened to the dragon, the military began to investigate his family.

After all, they wanted to save face by not letting Theo be harmed with so many witnesses.

Still, the biggest miscalculation he had was none other than the fact the military and the Eilric Family got involved in this situation.

Not only that, but his family also needed to suffer the loss of their elites. He gritted his teeth and glared at his butler. "It's your turn. I want his address!"

"It will take time," said the butler calmly. "I need to search for all real estate companies along with the city he lives in. It will take one to two months. Only after that can I start following him and kill him with a few people."

"Just go! I want the result!" Endo Lange raised his voice. He started panting as the anger filled his heart to the brim.

Luckily, Ben didn't stay here. Otherwise, he would have been beaten by Endo Lange for his continuous failures.

"Still, Sir… I am afraid we can't do anything for the time being. The two failures were connected to the Daemon Group. I have the feeling that this Daemon Group is protecting Theodore Griffith."

"I don't care. I want the result as soon as possible!" Ben stated with a stern tone.

"…" The butler lowered his head and left the room.
