God of Tricksters

“Ugh. What should we do this time?” Agata pinched the bridge of her nose. Her eyes were a bit tired after reading all the reports she had gotten.

Unfortunately, finding a way to turn around the situation was harder than she expected. She let out a long sigh.

She felt like she had forgotten something after all these messes. In fact, she hadn’t got a proper sleep in the last couple of days.

At that time, it felt like there was a ray of hope shining upon her. There was a familiar voice echoing in her ears.

“You haven’t got any proper sleep? You should get some sleep, you know. It might affect your skin.”

“It seems that I’m too tired. To think I would hear your voice, Theo…” Agata made a sad smile, missing him. It had been too long and the problem had become too big.

She didn’t realize it yet, but Theo was standing behind her. He ended up pinching her forehead gently as if trying to help her relax.

“Huh?” Agata was startled upon the touch. She thought she had become a bit crazy that she ended up hearing Theo’s voice, but this touch was definitely real.

She hurriedly put his hand down and immediately raised her head, looking at the person standing behind her.

“!!!” Agata dropped her jaw, not believing who had just come back. “T-Theo…”

Theo made a gentle smile while stroking her cheeks. “It seems that you have worked hard. Sorry.”

Agata tried to move around, trying to stand up. But because of the shock, she had a hard time getting her balance and ended up receiving some help from Theo.

She instantly hugged him. She hugged him with all her might.

There was no need to say anything. The man she had been waiting for had come back. She felt relieved.

And the pressure that had been built up in her body suddenly left, causing her body to feel weak.

Theo smiled, gently hugging her while supporting her body. He knew how hard Agata had worked from her expression and all the documents on the table.

It seemed that the situation was messier than he expected.

That was why he only wanted to give her a big hug, trying to make her feel assured. Everything was going to be fine with him here.

“Are you really back?” Agata muttered in a low voice as if she still couldn’t believe it.

“Of course. I’m here for you.”

“I can’t even do my job well… Even right now, I still need your help.”

“You have done a great job. It’s my job as a leader to lead the group. But I’ve failed to appear here in time.”

“Mhm…” Agata closed her eyes for a moment. “Can I leave the rest to you?”

“Yeah. Leave the rest to me. Don’t worry. Everything is going to be fine.”

It seemed like she had entirely dropped her guard to the point she ended up falling asleep.

Theo made a sad smile. He tried to do his job, but it seemed that he had put too much pressure on her shoulder. No matter how successful his plan became, he regarded it as a failure on his part. It was his mistake that she and the others felt like this.

Theo gently supported her body before carrying her in his arms. He quietly opened the door and walked through the hallway, planning to put her down on a bed.

On the way, he actually met two people. It was Rea and Nella who had been trying to figure out a way to solve some problems with the help of the Griffith Family.

When they saw him, they dropped their jaws to the ground, not expecting Theo to come back at this time.

However, Theo winked his right eye, telling them to stay quiet since Agata was sleeping in his arms.

The two exchanged looks and nodded playfully. Rea pointed at the door where they came out as if telling him that they would be waiting for him there.

Theo gave the nod before coming out of the building and approaching his own house. He used the Blink Skill to enter the house and gently put Agata on the bed.

The quilt was lifted with his Telekinesis as Theo laid her down. He covered her with the quilt and gently gave a peck on her forehead.

Although it was a bit urgent, Theo made some time to stroke her hair while staring at her sleeping face.

His gentle caress felt like it was telling her that everything would be fine and the problem would be fixed once she woke up.

Agata might feel it as well because her sleeping face had become relaxed.

Theo gave her one last smile before using his Blink to come out of the house. He had to go to the office building again to discuss the matter with Rea and Nella.

As soon as he reached the room, Theo took Rea’s seat. Rea and Nella were standing in front of him with some documents in their hands.

A lot had happened during his leave, so it was clear that it would take a long time to report everything to Theo.

Obviously, Maya had to be called, considering she had suffered a massive loss from the previous battle, including the blueprints and airplanes.𝐎𝒱𝓁xt.𝓬𝑶𝓂

In the end, it took them four hours just to retell everything that had happened in the past few weeks. Even Maya shared information regarding the government and all the influences that participated in the battle.

Theo remained calm the whole time, but it felt like this calm was like the calm before the storm. He seemed to want to swallow everything before unleashing his anger.

Theo took a deep breath to calm his heart down. But his expression soon became serious as he had to make a decision to solve the problems one by one.

“Alright then. I know that all of you are tired, but I’ll be in trouble if you are sleeping as well. So, bear with me for a few more hours. I’m going to give you my instructions.”
