God of Tricksters

Chapter 504 - Escaping

"As expected, you're going to buy time with all those bullsh*ts!" Theo shouted in anger.

"!!!" Ben's expression turned dark when he realized his subordinates had ruined this meeting. However, he had said the most important things, which were the thank you and the warning.

Knowing he couldn't convince Theo in this situation, he decided to let Theo escape by commanding his group. "We can't kill him unless you want to destroy the Lange Family. Capture him!"

Theo was surprised by Ben's order. He never thought Ben would hide the fact he was a mere clone.

It seemed Ben indeed wanted to thank him and warn him.

His subordinates hurriedly surrounded Theo. Magic Power started fluctuating in the area as they were prepared to use their skills to subdue Theo.

To buy enough time, Theo decided to play along with Ben Lange and said, "Since you think you can capture me, try it!"

Theo summoned his Magic Bullets and shot two people on his right.

The two jumped up and avoided it while the other three moved forward.

He soon realized that Ben's group consisted of people who almost reached the Supreme Rank. Their speed was far faster than he originally thought but slower than the commander he met back in Sinx Forest.

Theo turned around and hit the guy behind him with his Cannon Blast, releasing its power.

The enemy was better than he thought because he had enough control to disperse the Cannon Blast without getting affected.

After that, his hand slipped past Theo's defense and grabbed his wrist.

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes as he was lifted into the air.

The enemy threw him to the side.

"Telekinesis." Theo stopped himself in the air and landed safely, but the last two people appeared before him, striking him on the stomach.

Bam.

The punches were powerful enough to generate a shock wave as Theo flew into the air, rolled a few times on the ground, and stopped.

He coughed a few times while glaring at them.

The people that he attacked earlier finally caught up and prepared to restrain him.

Theo struggled once more by slamming his hand to the ground. His Telekinesis helped him create a crater beneath his body.

The moment his enemies lost their balance, Theo turned around and extended his hair to their throats.

They avoided it again, but Theo used his Blink to appear behind them, with his hands carrying the momentum.

In other words, both hands kept moving toward their necks.

As one would expect from experts close to Supreme Rank, they halted their movement and poured their Magic Power into the back of their necks.

When Theo's fingers touched their necks, the Magic Power collided, stopping it for a second.

They took that chance to turn around and send a counterattack by hitting Theo's hands.

Unfortunately, they were not lucky enough because Theo had disappeared, showing he was just a mere clone.

"What?!" All of them dropped their jaws to the ground, including Ben.

They soon turned to Ben, who encountered Theo first, but they soon found Ben shouting in anger.

"He was only a clone?!" Ben clenched his fists. "Did he try to mess with me?!"

None of them could answer since Ben acted like he also had fallen for that trick.

Little did they know, the real Theo was already far away and had transformed into an eagle.

"Young Master…" One of them stepped forward, looking at Ben with a serious expression.

"What?!"

His anger shook his body as the latter quickly asked, "Should we pursue him?"

"Haven't you heard about his clone being able to move far away from his body? He's obviously not here. His clone just tried to mess me up!" Ben shouted in frustration.

"Still, we should investigate this Dinosaur Mountain Range and the nearby area."

"Fine!" Ben slammed his fist to the tree next to him. "I'm going to kill that bastard if I find him."

They all couldn't find anything wrong with Ben's anger, thinking Ben's reaction was genuine. The reason they had been observing his expression this whole time was due to suspicion.

Endo Lange had asked them to monitor Ben's actions because he suspected Ben was helping Theo secretly.

And Theo also found this connection and chose to retreat instead of getting captured. Even though he could know how they operated and saw Endo Lange for the first time and annoyed him by showing he was only a clone.

He was afraid Endo Lange would take a drastic measure and kill him without caring about the Griffith Family anymore.

After all, there wasn't a single branch of the Griffith Family standing in this country.

He could just send an assassin and think the Griffith Family couldn't find the trace.

After considering a few pros and cons, Theo ultimately chose to give up this notion, knowing his time had yet to come.

He needed to wait until he got strong enough to launch a counterattack.

Although Ben didn't understand Theo's thoughts, he knew Theo wouldn't do something meaningless. Even in the competition, his actions always had a reason.

So, Ben chose to trust him and played his part. This was also the way he thanked Theo.

While they were confused, Theo kept flying away.

Looking back, Theo muttered inwardly, 'Seeing Ben Lange had a contradictory action with his subordinates might mean they were not on the same side. The Lange Family wants to kill me, but I know it's Endo Lange.

'If that's the case… then, Ben Lange's words were genuine? Does it mean the Lange Family has surrounded my home? If that's the case, I should move away, and I don't think Ava can stay in that house any longer.

'If the Lange Family found Ava, they might capture her… In the worst case, her mother would lead many monsters to flatten Thersland. That's something I don't want to see…'

Theo paused for a moment. "Still, this situation sucks. Now I don't have anywhere to go and level up. Leaving this area means I need at least a week or two to go back and forth of this area just for seven levels… What should I do?"

Theo thought while flying… It took him an hour before realizing there was one option left, and he was flying straight to that place.
