God of Tricksters

Chapter 716: Maya

The following month came with a great surprise.

The people instantly understood why the Wind Emperor actually visited Italy.

The reason was shown when the Wind Emperor ordered his people not to mess with Theo anymore. At the same time, they needed to prepare for his presence two months from now.

Even though he had retired, he decided to go public once more, showing his appreciation for Theo’s talent.

When he was asked the reason to do all this even though he had suffered in his hand, the Wind Emperor simply stated, “No life is taken in the misunderstanding. As someone who has lived this long, I truly believe we are wise enough to respect the younger generation. After all, they will be our successor in the future.”

This statement shook the entire world. After all, one of the top ten experts in the world actually recognized Theo’s talent completely.

Leonardo alone was already big trouble to deal with, so if the Wind Emperor really tried to back him up again, Theo might have enough power to destroy the Griffith Family in the future. And his reach might not be limited to that family.

Hence, the world started to panic, not knowing what would happen in the future. They were busy discussing their plan in approaching Theo.

And as Leonardo said, someone also put a bounty on Theo’s head.

Though, not only were the countries panicking, his allies were also doubting him at the moment.

After a long one month, Theo finally decided to settle one of them.

Theo was sitting inside his mansion while looking at the screen. The call went through as a woman’s face appeared on the screen.

“Well, it’s been a while.” Theo smiled. “Maya.”

“Indeed.” Maya let out a long sigh. “You should know why I’ve been calling you, right?”

“Of course. You probably want to ask me about the international mission.” Theo shrugged.

“Ugh.” Maya pinched the bridge of her nose, stressed by Theo’s calmness. “Because of the Wind Emperor’s statement, the country has been thrown into chaos. Unlike other companies, we’re the closest one to you, so they’re questioning us right now.

“After all, the Wind Emperor might snatch you from us and bring you to our competitor. When that happens, the situation will become extremely complicated. There are even discussions about whether you should be killed or not.”

“Hoh? Is it alright to let me know this?” Theo smirked.

“It’s better than you finding it later.” Maya shrugged. “Either way, my Starry Group is interested in sending you an International Mission. If you visit us, there will be many benefits you can get from this alone.

“As for the mission, it’s about a hunt for numerous monsters. You can either choose an artificial nest or another place with a huge number of monsters.

“According to our information, you have gotten far stronger after going to the other side for three months. So, we’re going to assume that you can become a Supreme Rank Expert if you come to us in this mission.

“And they’re requesting us to send our experts as well, but considering your personality and actions, I have persuaded them to limit that number to one. In other words, it will be me who will accompany you on this hunt. Not another soul will be involved.

“Well, I can be replaced easily by other talented people, but no one is closer to you other than me, so I don’t think this decision will be changed.

“Of course, leveling to 500 is easier said than done. The mission itself will require at least a few months, so yeah.

“We will provide the equipment and all the things you need during the mission and make sure you can complete the mission easily.

“As for the reward…” Maya paused for a moment. “I will just send the contract to you later. Basically, the reward is you can wish for anything that I can fulfill.

“I hate to say this, but my father forced me to say this… Yeah, you can ask me to be your wife.” Maya shrugged and brushed it off by saying, “Anyway, other than that, there are monetary rewards and other stuff like teaching you stuff or whatever.”

Maya ended her explanation with a long sigh.

Theo put on a smile and said, “Is that so? The Wind Emperor actually wanted to teach me some stuff personally as a reward though.”

“…” Maya fell silent, understanding the weight of his words. She covered her eyes while putting on a troubled expression. “You’re truly ruthless, aren’t you?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Theo smiled.

“How about you list everything you can get from him? We will offer you a better term than him.” Maya sighed.

“It’s nothing. I am simply someone who wants to learn as much as possible.” Theo shook his head. “Why do you think I can improve so much in such a short period?”

“Right?” Maya rolled her eyes. “What do you want to learn? We will be listening.”

“Hmm, I am not sure about that question. But I am focusing on four things right now. They are Control, Touch, Hearing, and Smell.”

“I will need to discuss it with others first. I can’t give you any promise.” Maya sighed.

“Ah, right. I saw the Wind Emperor using his power in front of me… He was so cool and his power was just a bit different from my Telekinesis…” Theo mentioned it with a playful expression.

“Can I call you Bastard?” Maya obviously knew the reason why Theo mentioned the last one. With just that single statement, he wanted to make sure Maya negotiated with others to raise the reward as high as possible or he would choose the Wind Emperor.

“What do you think?” Theo simply smiled.

Maya rolled her eyes. “Anyway, send me your request for a reward. I will try to negotiate with you. Still, I don’t have a guarantee whether it will be enough for you or not. So, don’t blame me for that…”

“I know. At the end of the day, I’m the one who will choose.” Theo smirked.

“Yeah, I know.” Maya shook her head helplessly. “Why do I feel like I have been less arrogant in front of you? I guess because before, you were only a helpless youth trying to get a connection.”

Theo didn’t answer her question as he simply waved his hand, hanging up the call. “Bye.”
