God of Tricksters

Chapter 1552 Showing Who’s the Boss

A few moments ago.

“What? Are you serious about this?” Rea asked while furrowing her eyebrows, staring at the screen with Theo’s face on it.

Rea opened the note he gave her and showed it to him. “See? Our plan is to make them fall into despair after the defeat of Flora Wegener, right? This way, Flora will know that you are the one pulling the string this whole time, and if she can survive, you’re prepared to wash away the grudges between you.

“Why do you want to change the plan right now? I mean, this should be the best plan. Even I can’t think of anything better than this.” Rea furrowed her eyebrows.

Theo closed his eyes with a sigh. “The answer is simple. If I use Akbar’s way of talking, if we follow this plan, there is a hundred percent chance that Flora will definitely die, our plan will be ruined, and the union will be destroyed.”

“Huh? Are you serious? Everything should be under control, no?”

“I can see it. I literally can see it right now, Rea. The scene where we lose everything.” Theo sighed. His eyes were still glued to her, but Rea didn’t feel his gaze at all as if he was staring deep into something else.

This wasn’t like someone erasing their presence while watching her. She felt like Theo was indeed looking at something, but that something wasn’t her.

“…” Rea scratched the back of her head. “To be honest, I don’t know what you’re planning to do. But you’re the boss, so we’ll change the plan. What do you want me to do?”

“You, Akbar, and Felix will hide among the army and keep reacting to the scene. Just make sure you let out your voice loud enough so that many can hear it.”

“You want to create a certain atmosphere in the army?”

“Yes.”

…

Rea gradually opened her eyes, recalling the call from earlier. She had sneaked into the army.

The perfect scene in her mind had shattered because of the change, but she still had to act accordingly, knowing Theo had a reason to change the plan.

“There are monsters from our side.” Felix, not far from her, shouted as if trying to let everyone know.

Rea’s eyes flashed as she followed suit by saying, “Look! There are people above the monsters!”

The people were turning their heads around to see what was going on. It didn’t take too long for them to find the most important person among them.

“That’s… Theodore Griffith!”

“Is that the real Theodore Griffith?”

“But the people on top of the monsters are from his group.”

“That must be the good Theo!”

This reaction startled both Mason and Flora. They didn’t expect Theo to appear here because he hadn’t made a single move in the last nine months.

At the same time, Theo’s appearance truly had the biggest impact.

“He is together with the monsters?” Mason gasped because this kind of lineup might be able to disrupt his plan. He thought that he could finish Flora as soon as possible, but it seemed that he had underestimated Theo once again.

While Mason was gritting his teeth, Flora was actually confused. ‘Why did he help me? Knowing how hard his trick hit the union months ago… he wouldn’t even hold back against me. Yet…’

Flora clapped her hands and summoned a huge ice crystal, freezing the purple breath and blowing Mason away.

At the same time, she used that opportunity to get some distance while looking at Theo. A reason suddenly flashed in her mind.

‘Wait a minute. If Richard was him, he wouldn’t have ranked up my skill. But why did he rank up my skill but not Mason?’ Flora sucked a cold breath and looked at Theo’s eyes from a distance. Theo was actually smiling at her as if confirming her answer.

‘That’s right. You still have some uses for me. I won’t let you die easily,’ was what Theo’s smile said.

Flora’s body trembled as if she was scared of Theo. ‘Back then, his scheme could kill the Death Reaper… That was the only way to destroy his enemy, but this time… He’s manipulating me instead of killing me. That makes it even harder. Are you telling me that his scheme can even manipulate me?’

Theo suddenly raised his hand, pointing at a certain person. It was none other than his grandfather from the Griffith Family, Mason.

There were four people that managed to understand that action. They were Mason, Flora, Rea, and Leonardo.

This was Theo’s way of telling Flora, ‘Defeat him and bring him to me so that I can kill him personally.’

“You bastard!” Mason gritted his teeth in anger, never expecting a brat to do something like that. He roared while gathering his Magic Power in his fist, trying to send forth a powerful shock wave toward Theo.

Flora didn’t want to do it because it felt like she was his dog, who would do anything he wanted. But she knew that if she didn’t do anything, she would be in a worse situation than this. In fact, Theo was indirectly telling her that she should be grateful that she hadn’t died at this point.

Flora suddenly leaped in Mason’s way and froze the air itself, stopping the shock wave.

“Your opponent is me,” Flora shouted.

“Flora! Are you going to be his dog?” Mason glared at her.

Before Flora could say anything, the zombie dragon had stepped forward and prepared another breath in his mouth. His target was the same. The dragon wanted to eliminate both of them right at this instant.

“Castle of the Empire!” A muscular guy fell in front of the dragon and raised his shield. In an instant, a huge wall emerged from the ground, blocking the dragon.

“That’s… The Great Guardian of France, Jeremy Crozier.”

People started to see some hope in this battle even though the war had yet to start. But the hope soon disappeared because the breath started to melt the wall.

“Kh. Even this wall is not enough?” Jeremy looked unwilling. This was his best defense, yet, he couldn’t even stop a single attack.

Suddenly, another person descended from the sky while shouting, “Voice Command! Disappear!”

In the instant the voice echoed on the battlefield, the breath was dispersed as if it was following its order.

And a woman soon descended on top of the wall while glaring at the dragon fearlessly. “Don’t think you can do anything you like, Monster.”

“That’s… the great queen, Sweden’s Princess, Elise Lund.”

“Don’t call me queen. It makes me look old.”
