God of Tricksters

Chapter 872 - Theo’s Real Plan

The moment the snake died, the monsters were enraged as though they had just lost their minds. They threw themselves toward Agata and Ava without caring about their bodies.

Agata finally used her Uerila Dimension and repelled all of them without letting a single one reach them.

Their fight lasted for two hours, but after that, the monster corpses were enough to block any monsters that were trying to fight them. Although the cave was filled with blood scent, this place was enough to be their hiding place for a few days.

They only needed to arrange the corpses to get enough airflow as well as move them farther from their position so as to not influence them with the scent.

Theo set up a camp and stopped moving as soon as they finished.

…

His action was noticed by the Griffith Family's Experts.

"!!!" Since they had been monitoring Theo, they knew that he didn't move much in the past few hours. Now that he stopped moving, if he continued this for a period of time, they believed Theo had died because of the poison.

"Did he…"

"We need to confirm it."

"Still, do you think anyone can withstand the powerful poison of the Dark Poison Swamp?"

"But that brat should have some plans. We need to wait here for a few days."

"Why a few days? A few hours are enough to confirm his death."

"Have you forgotten that he has gone to this place once? There's a possibility of him getting some sort of loophole that allows him to stay here for refuge. No matter what, he has Ray's Control Talent and Valerie's Brain; we can't underestimate him."

"That's true… Well, from his luggage alone, I think the food can last for a week. And another week for him to be truly dead because of the thirst… Considering he can drink his own urine? Whatever."

"In that case, we will wait here for two weeks. If he still doesn't move, that means he's dead. We'll send others to grab his corpse later."

"Yeah. That's the plan. For now, we need to find a way to stop the War God Family from helping him."

"One of us should go back to report then. The rest of us will stay here to make sure no one helps him."

"Sure."

After coming to an agreement, one of them finally left to report the situation, hoping the family could send reinforcement to stop Theo from leaving.

Obviously, Valerie, Leonardo, and the rest of the War God Family also heard this news.

"What?!" Leonardo frowned while rising from his seat. His heart was shaken by the news Lorenzo had just conveyed. He looked at Lorenzo in disbelief and asked for confirmation. "Are you sure Theo entered the Dark Poison Swamp? Lorenzo, don't joke with me. Are you trying to make me get a heart attack?"

"No, Grandfather. How can I joke with my brother's life?" Lorenzo shook his head with a sad face.

"No one can withstand the poison from the Poison Swamp. Even many Poison Experts are trying to get some benefits from the poison mist… It's clear that the poison mist is powerful beyond belief." Marzio fell silent and looked down.

"He told me he wanted to use the Dark Poison Swamp to escape from the Griffith Family, but he never said anything about him entering the Dark Poison Swamp. I thought he was going around it or tricked them into entering the swamp." Leonardo's body trembled as his face became pale.

"Why… Why don't we believe in Theo? I believe he has some sort of arrangement. He's not someone that will die by something like this… No, should I say he's not someone foolish enough to die in the dumbest way possible?" Lorenzo tilted his head in confusion.

"In that case, what is he planning?" Marzio frowned.

"Father. From the last expression he'd shown me, I believe Theo wants to make everyone believe he has died there." Lorenzo explained the feeling in his heart.

"Hmm?" Marzio's expression turned grim. "As in dying and getting a new identity to live in another place? If Theo can indeed survive inside that poison swamp, then… he's planning to hide his identity when he's in the US?"

"I guess?"

"Father, what do you think?" Marzio turned to Leonardo.

"If that's his real aim, then there's only one thing to do. Recall all our force and march toward the Dark Poison Swamp." Leonardo shared his thoughts. Although his heart was filled with worries, he almost forgot how many surprises Theo had shown this whole time.

"Why?" Lorenzo became confused.

"It's to make the Griffith Family believe this is not our plan, but Theo's decision alone. In other words, we want them to see that we're desperate to get him back because we know he won't survive there. The Griffith Family will surely stop us with all they got. Not only could we weaken the Griffith Family even further, but we can also eliminate the Barbe Group completely." Marzio explained the detailed explanation to his son.

"The best wine, huh…" Leonardo remembered the wine he'd got from Theo. He hadn't tasted it yet, but Theo dared to say it was the best wine.

Without knowing the wine was two hundred years old and was made by the dwarves, that wine only had one meaning.

"Back in the ancient time, people would drink wine after a big battle, and it's said the wine would be especially delicious after a big conquest. He gave me the best wine… Meaning he gave me this full victory and the wine for victory as the last gift. Haha, what kind of grandson do I actually have…" Leonardo facepalmed, realizing he had lost in the battle of prediction. "I guess I've lost in today's battle… Damn brat, my record is now 300 wins, 208 losses, and 33 draws."

Marzio was speechless when he heard the battle record. He realized he still underestimated Theo. With enough experience, Theo could surpass Leonardo in a mind battle.

"Father. I will gather our forces."

"Yeah. Tell the Mota Family about the situation as well and calm them down."

"Understood."
