God of Tricksters

Chapter 322 - Proper Conclusion



However, Theo had another purpose in making this proposal. He smiled when everyone accepted it and muttered inwardly, 'There is also a possibility of them trying to eliminate me before I can grow. This can be done without resources since I'm weak. Hence, with all seven countries watching me, those countries will also watch each other.

'In other words, if a certain country tries to assassinate me, the other countries should be able to find it and prevent that attempt. This is the perfect scenario that I can think of right now.' Theo let out a sigh of relief.

"We will be looking forward to your written statement." Maya waved her hand and turned around.

"Well, this discussion seems to have its proper conclusion." Enrica nodded and stepped back.

The others also pulled back while talking with other countries' teams, trying to poach each other.

Agata came to him and asked, "You still don't want to dance?"

"Ahaha." Theo scratched the back of his head. "I am honored to get the invitation, but I am afraid I need to turn you down."

"That's fine." Agata sighed. "To be honest, I am more curious than interested in you. Usually, the people who come to me will flock like lecherous bastards. Only those who have someone they love or muscle brains will treat me normally.

"Even among these people here, I can still sense their gazes from time to time, so it's weird to see there is someone like you." Agata suddenly narrowed her eyes, staring deep into his eyes. "It is as if you don't have any desire…"

"What did you say? Are you saying my cousin is a vegetable?" Nella glared at her.

"You are the only one who said it." Theo grabbed her head and pushed her a bit. "Also, you should talk to others, not stay with me."

Agata chuckled and took a step back. "That's all I want to say. And I don't mean to be rude or insult you, okay?"

"Most men have such a desire… I have it too. However, it is never my priority." Theo shook his head.

Agata's lips curved as she seemed to be satisfied with the answer. She showed him the most genuine smile. "Is that so?"

Theo remained calm while Nella pouted. "To think that woman can still smile like that. It makes all her previous smiles look fake. Or maybe they are? Whatever."

"Anyway, it's time for you to go away." Theo sighed helplessly.

"Fine. I will talk with others too, though, I doubt I can get along with anyone. Also, you haven't forgotten that we are going to talk after this, right?"

"Yes."

"I can go back together with you, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I won't let you sleep tonight."

"Girl, please choose your words carefully."

Nella stuck her tongue out and walked away, leaving him alone.

He thought he should greet others too, but when he looked around, he found his teammates talking with a few people.

Maya and Egypt's representative, Hamadi Asker, seemed to be interested in Ellen. Considering the United States was among the leading countries for Control, Ellen would have a huge growth there. After all, as long as she could gain enough Control, her natural Dual Wielding would become even more ferocious.

Phyrill seemed to have some sort of bond with Marco and Ignazio since they seemed to be talking like good friends.

Little did he know they were talking about him since only Phyrill understood Theo's strategy better than others. And Ignazio was very curious about it… As expected from someone who received God of War's Blessing.

Still, he was a bit surprised when he saw Zara and Luka approaching Sihan. It seemed they were interested in his unorthodox style of Knight. Normally, a Knight like Sihan had only one job. It was to protect everyone's safety.

Sihan indeed could play that way and if they tried to combine it with Sihan's unorthodox offensive style, he might be able to fight them toe-to-toe without having a blessing.

Zhong Li also thought about getting Sihan, but he chose to back away because he didn't know anything about the String Technique. It was a weird one and he needed to make sure with their representative first whether to bring him back or not. He might also leave it to some individual companies or organizations.

Alea was a bit more popular than the rest. Despite being outshined by Theo, Alea's performance surely struck many people's hearts. Her skill verse also gave her more skills than most people who had the same thing.

Hence, China, India, Egypt and the UK gave their invitation to her. However, what shocked him the most was when Nella came to talk to her face to face.

Nella seemed to whisper a few words to her ears and Alea's expression was darkened. Luckily, there was no killing intent or else others would sense it.

Still, Theo found Mami getting closer to Laust. Laust's blessing was still unknown and he didn't shine as much as Alea or Phyrill, so it was quite a surprise to see Mami extending her invitation to Laust.

Theo didn't care much and chatted with Clark, Ignazio, Agata, Cheng Sui, and Maya most of the time. He did notice something in this banquet.

The moment they became the underdog, everyone's eyes would lock onto them. After all, Thersland didn't have a single Mythical Rank Expert, so it was hard for them to nurture them to that level, allowing all countries to give enough benefits to poach them.

All in all, the banquet had become a great success.

After having fruitful discussions with many and getting some of their numbers, Theo decided to step away from the banquet on the pretense of going to the restroom.

Not many people noticed such action as Theo slipped away nonchalantly. However, as soon as he walked for a while, a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulders and stopped him for a second.

Theo turned around and raised his eyebrows.

It turned out to be Laust.

Laust tilted his head to the side as if telling him to follow him. "I want to say something."

Theo's expression turned serious as he thought for a moment before nodding his head. "Sure."
