God of Tricksters

Chapter 553 - Comments

Theo's information had been spread all over Italy as he was going to participate in the family tournament. Many reacted to this sudden motion because they could see what kind of person their country took in.

Obviously, they wanted to see whether Theo was worth investing in or not.

Some actually doubted it, while others believed Theo would surpass their imagination, like when he fought in the Grand Gaia.

Still, one thing for sure, if Theo did a good job in this family competition, missions and cooperations would flock to the War God Family, asking Theo to do some tasks for them.

His picture appeared on the headline, especially when people realized he was the son of the War God Family's Valkyrie. It swept Italy by surprise.

On the contrary, Theo was reading his assignments because he didn't come here to enjoy the awe in the people's eyes. He chose this place to become stronger.

When people were wondering about Theo's location, the aforementioned person was training in his own house, not caring about the outside world.

He kept training with Ava and his grandfather, not accepting any visitors, even if Agata came.

The time went by, and the competition had arrived.

As expected, they chose to make the entire competition live, letting many people see. After all, not only Theo but also all top three contenders would participate in a single year. The match would be bigger than last year, so the War God Family increased the hype by broadcasting the competition.

Sitting in front of the camera was the War God Family's War Saint who held this competition, Leonardo. Next to him was a woman that made her presence known to the world by commenting on the Grand Gaia Competition, Sheira.

Many people were watching this program, no matter if they were important people or ordinary citizens. This was just too good for them to pass, considering the War God Family taught them personally by letting them see their actions.

"It's been a while, everyone." Sheira waved her hand to the camera with a smile on her face. "With me here is the man I am sure you all know! That's right. He is none other than the strongest person in Italy, the War Saint, Leonardo Guerrero."

"Hoho, this year is going to be exciting." Leonardo chuckled while waving his hand, following Sheira's action.

"Sir Leonardo, I am curious what happened after the competition… I heard your family realized Theodore Griffith is actually the person of the War God Family." Sheira squinted his eyes.

"He is following the custom of the Griffith Family, so I can't say he's a person of my family, but I can proudly say he is my grandson." Leonardo smiled, indirectly implying that they were free to poach him if they had the ability.

This statement raised many people's interests in an instant because they usually commissioned the War God Family instead of poaching them, so this was one of the rare occasions they could acquire someone from the War God Family.

"Even I am excited to hear that." Sheira smiled. "However, let's talk about what happened after the competition. How did you feel when you found out that he's Valkyrie's son?"

"Obviously, I was thrilled since I was unaware of this for so long." Leonardo chuckled. "But I prefer to remain silent for any questions regarding this matter. Instead, let's focus on the competition, shall we?"

"Ah, I apologize for digging up this information. I am curious…" Sheira made an awkward smile and nodded. "Okay. Let's move on to the competition. May we know who will be participating?"

Leonardo waved his hand and showed the list of the names. "There are a total of 24 people participating in this competition. Considering this is only the main family members whose levels are below five hundred, I can say it's been a while to have this many people in one competition. Normally, it's only less than half of them."

"Is that so? Who do you think will win in this competition?"

"Haha, this competition is not to rank them… it's to assess their ability and allocate the resources according to their ability. So, there's no point in talking about the winner. Their ranks come from the people's eyes, not the family's judgment. So, I won't say anything about rank. After all, we're assessing all of them together, and even the last place can increase their resources as long as their performance is good."

"I see." Sheira nodded with a solemn expression. "Then, I shall change my question. What do you think about Theo participating in this competition?"

"Well, I was the one suggesting this idea to him, so I can only say I haven't told him any hints about this competition and he has been studying other things instead of the past competitions. In other words, he's clueless about what to expect from this competition."

"He is at a disadvantage." Sheira thought for a moment.

"He is indeed… But I believe he will adjust himself soon. That's what I believe after teaching him for three months. Of course, I am not going to show any favoritism in this competition or the family." Leonardo smirked. "Everything shall be grasped by your own hands!"

Sheira fell silent before asking, "That's right. I almost forgot to ask this. Where is the competition being held?"

Leonardo smiled and answered her questions, just buying time until all participants were ready.

He told Sheira that all participants were sent into Parco Regional del Matese or Matese Regional Park. It was a place with three lakes and forests without many people staying in the area. So, they could go wild with their fight.

Early in the morning, a car picked him up with his grandfather telling him that Ava couldn't help him during this time. Theo wanted to refuse, but Leonardo planned to broadcast the competition, so he reluctantly agreed not to bring Ava to prevent her from being a celebrity.

He took a peek from the window, staring at the calm lake and some hills.

Suddenly, the car stopped and the door was opened, followed by the voice of the driver… "Sir Theodore, we've arrived."
