God of Tricksters

Chapter 814 - A Surprise From Maya

As soon as they finished their task, the group returned to the hotel as soon as possible. Theo and Agata were waiting for Maya to finish her business since they were planning to return to Earth not long after.

Suddenly, two people came out of the hotel. Theo recognized one of them since he was the Mythical Rank Expert that helped him before. So, it was clear that the two people earlier were the Mythical Rank Experts tasked to protect this place.

Not long after, Maya returned to them before letting out a sigh of relief.

"It's done." Maya sighed.

"Really?"

"Yep. One of them will protect the mine while the other will inform my father."

"You're not going to get everything?" Theo asked.

"No. I'll take only 80 percent of it. Even then, it's enough to reach Mythical Rank Expert without worrying about my bullet not having Blue Star Crystal anymore." She shrugged. "To be fair, my father is going to do all the process while I reap all the processed material. Thanks to you… convincing the King Class Monster."

She suddenly lowered her head for a split second to the point it felt like it never happened.

However, both Agata and Theo had witnessed what happened. Maya's action was simply too shocking to the point even Theo dropped his jaw.

'What?' Theo blinked his eyes a few times, staring in disbelief. 'Even though it lasted only for 0.0001 seconds, did Maya actually bow her head to thank me?'

'That prideful Maya?' Agata felt goosebumps. After traveling for two months together, she understood how arrogant Maya was. There was no way for Maya to lower her head.

"I'm grateful for your help." Maya made a sweet smile, trying to brush away what she had done earlier.

"Is there any camera here? CCTV?" Theo looked around before his eyes glued to the office next to the entrance. "I'm going there first."

Maya placed her hands on Theo's shoulders as her expression darkened. "There won't be any trace remaining! Should I alter your memory too? Maybe with a bullet."

"Haha, I was joking." Theo chuckled as he couldn't help but do it after seeing Maya lower her head.

"And I'm not!" Maya snorted, released him, and walked toward the room for a minute before coming back. "Heh, deleted."

Agata covered her mouth while chuckling.

"Even you?" Maya's eyebrows twitched.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it. I guess when you're that prideful, lowering your head truly gives the image of you being grateful."

Agata's words weren't just empty teasing. She had seen it from Theo. After being with Theo for so long, she never knew whether Theo had a plan or not without him admitting it directly.

She always believed that Theo had a plan in his mind. Even if he said he didn't have one, she wouldn't believe him.

This was one of what Theo's former master taught him. When the people around him knew his personality, it was easy to make them doubt whether his reaction was genuine or not.

At the same time, when they did, the impact was truly powerful, like how Maya lowered her head.

"Anyway, let's rest here for today. We can go back tomorrow."

"Okay."

Theo and the group got a room and took some rest inside.

How they spent their time was vastly different. Theo took this time to calculate his next move along with his future improvement.

His plan was to enter the simulation room as soon as they returned and only for one month before returning to Italy, so he needed to spend his time carefully.

Of course, he could spend a bit more time in this place, but there was something he needed to do in Italy. The War God Family also needed some time to process his leave, so it was better to do it as soon as possible.

As for his Awareness, with the help of his Death Avatar, his Vision reached another peak. At the same time, his Death Avatar also practically begged him to master the Sense of Touch to form a domain.

These two training alone would require a long time, but Theo planned to finish them within months.

If this was someone else, they wouldn't dare to claim to be able to practice at such speed. Even Agata's Awareness had started losing to Theo.

This was also the reason why people's levels were lower than Theo's despite being older.

They spent their time improving their Five Aspects instead of leveling. But Theo could learn all this stuff faster than anyone. Even his leveling speed was far quicker due to his clone and Ava.

This was his talent of learning that his parents tried to seal by creating an environment that wasn't beneficial to him.

Not only the Griffith Family but there would be other influences that planned to attack him in order to remove a future threat. His parents couldn't stop them two decades ago as they were still too weak.

Theo could understand a bit of their action, but he also arrived at the same conclusion as Leonardo.

His parents did this wasn't to protect him. Instead, it was because they desired something, and that was revenge.

At this point, he didn't care about his parents anymore. He just wished to never meet them anymore and let them do whatever they wanted as if he didn't exist.

In his room, Theo was sitting on his bed with a long face. He had been thinking about this for a long time.

'Selfish, huh…' Theo squinted his eyes. 'Since they are selfish, there's no reason for me to not be selfish as well, right? But with this… I guess my big br… Edward Griffith got caught up in this situation unwillingly.'

Theo scratched the back of his head. Despite having such a situation, he couldn't help but remember his own past where he needed to sleep while clenching his stomach to forget about his hunger, where he needed to endure all the bullying in the past, and where he almost died because he simply had no money.

"Why am I thinking about this again?" Theo sighed. Every time he learned about his own talent, he was reminded of his family… "Whatever. No one knows about the future, including me…"
