God of Tricksters

Chapter 1302 The Best Right Hand Man

Theo hurriedly led the way to the path the Shadow King told him. Since there was no King Class Monster ruling the land, he shouldn’t encounter any trouble. As for the Mythical Rank Monster, even if he couldn’t kill them, he should be able to escape safely.

On the way, Rea asked, “Where are we going? Shouldn’t we head to the north?”

”Just taking a bit of a detour. After all, we’re going to train here.” Theo smirked.

”Hunt, huh?”

”How is your training progress?”

”Well…” Rea took out her sword and looked at it while pouring some Magic Power into the blade. The Magic Power tried to take shape but to no avail. It would become disrupted at the last moment as she had no picture in her mind.

She didn’t know what kind of power she actually wanted from this power despite knowing that this technique might be far stronger than her current strength.

”I don’t know. I can feel something different, but I don’t know where I should go. And now, my mind becomes a bit disrupted because of the requirement. The power that can define me? I don’t know.”

”You’ve been following your brother’s footsteps this whole time after all.” Theo added.

”Yes. He is amazing. Even Father praised him for being so creative. As for me, I can only follow someone to a certain extent. And it will take a while for me to even be able to copy them. So, now I’m perplexed… What kind of power can define me? I’m empty.” Rea looked down, feeling downcast.

Theo paused for a moment as if he was thinking about what to say. Eventually, he opened his mouth, saying, “Say… are you proud of following your brother’s footsteps?”

”Of course, I’m proud,” Rea admitted without hesitation. That answer came from the bottom of her heart. That was why she could answer that fast.

”How about me?”

Rea looked at him dumbfoundedly, never expecting to hear this question from Theo. “Do you want my recognition or something? Is that a try to hit on me or something? But you’re not that type of a guy.”

Theo’s eyebrows twitched as his expression darkened.

Seeing that change of expression, Rea hurriedly answered his question. “Of course. Although I hate to admit it, your reputation is much bigger than my brother’s. I feel like I can aim at a bigger world when I’m following you. But it’s a different kind of pride from my brother. I… truly respect you for what you’ve done and achieved.

”And there is this time where you can sacrifice so much money to save the world without anyone noticing. Even I can only lower my head to you.” Rea smiled sadly, feeling a bit disappointed in herself.

Theo closed his eyes while smiling. “Is that so? Well, with this, I can confirm one thing. Your brother is certainly a man who will take the lead. He doesn’t bow down no matter how big of a blow that hits him. As for you, you’re just someone who will always be number two since your mindset is always following someone.”

”Wha—” Rea was taken aback by this insult. “You…”

Theo raised his hand as if telling her to stop. He added, “Of course, that’s not a bad thing.”

”Not a bad thing? I don’t know if you’re trying to insult me or praise me.” Rea was holding back her frustration and annoyance due to this confusion.

”I was praising you. Becoming a right hand man will never be a bad thing. If you think that’s an insult, then it’s your problem. For me, even if I can’t become number one, I’ll be content with second place.” Theo paused for a moment. “It’s just if I’m going to be someone’s right hand man, I’m going to be the number one right hand man in the world.

”I’ll make the person I serve unable to live without me because I’m the one taking care of all his matters. In that case, won’t I be the best and get the last laugh?” Theo smirked.

”!!!” Rea widened her eyes in shock. “The number one right hand man in the world? The one that makes the number one can’t live without you?”

When she was still in Japan, she thought she would continue to serve her brother, helping him in managing the business since her brother would be far stronger than her and become the face of the Nagasawa Family.

But it was different in Theo’s view. Theo didn’t want her to just be a mere assistant. He wanted her to be the best assistant, the one that Theo couldn’t live without.

She then soon realized Theo’s subordinates were like that. Felix wanted to be Theo’s strongest sword, exterminating all enemies. Jeff wanted to paint a world. Coline wanted to be the greatest chef with perfect cooking.

Every single Theo’s subordinate had their own dream. Even Isaac, who was only a Supreme Rank Expert, wanted to do the greatest research about Theo.

Or Maya, who always tried to compete with Theo. All of them had huge ambitions.

On the other hand, she had been thinking about learning anything from him and serving her brother. She tried to chase after him without a huge ambition in her heart.

That was why she couldn’t keep up when fighting against Walker. She soon realized that Agata also experienced the same thing, thus her current strength.

’I… I don’t have anything up until now? Doesn’t that mean I’ve wasted a few months?’ Rea got the shock of her life. She had been wasting this precious chance.

”Are you sure it’s alright to give me this kind of ambition? If I’m putting my mind to it, you might not be able to leave me, you know.” Rea looked at Theo with a serious expression.

”I’m looking forward to it.”

Rea smiled brightly. This might be the first time in her life she wanted to do something so strongly. Not just keeping up with someone, but dominating someone.

”Though, you shouldn’t talk big first before you complete my test.” Theo suddenly stopped as he pointed to the front. “There you go, your test.”

”Eh?” Rea turned her head around and saw a Mythical Rank Monster. “I don’t know if my eyes are failing me, but I can only see a Mythical Rank Monster…”

”Yes. Your eyes are still good. I want you to kill the Mythical Rank Monster.”

Rea dropped her jaw to the ground as everything good about Theo just shattered in her mind as Theo wanted to send her to her death.

”You motherf—”
