God of Tricksters

"President Rolf?" A middle-aged man opened the door leading to Rolf's office. However, he soon found Rolf sitting on the floor, convulsing uncontrollably.

His head tilted left and right with blank eyes as if he just turned into an idiot.

The middle-aged man panicked and saw the blood on the floor and Rolf's hands. His face was ghastly pale, not knowing what happened during the negotiation.

Because he wanted to coerce Theo, Rolf had turned down the monitoring system inside his office, so no record could prove Theo's claim had he decided to strike him. However, this also became a fatal mistake for him since two people could enter his room and do all this without going all the way to delete their records.

"President! President! What happened to you?" The middle-aged man fell to his knees and looked left and right to see whether there was an enemy nearby. After not finding anyone inside the room, he shouted, "Call an ambulance. Call an ambulance!"

A few people stormed inside and saw the incident, hurriedly calling the ambulance to save their president.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man or the new assistant asked, "President. Stay with me… Please tell me what happened."

Unfortunately, Rolf could only chuckle. "Hehehe. There's nothing. There's nothing."

His expression didn't change as if he truly believed such a thing.

They were all confused why this could happen, but the answer never came to light. In fact, this was also the reason why Thersland didn't dare to offend many countries.

A Mythical Rank Expert alone could brutally destroy a Supreme Rank Expert. All Rolf could do from that point onward was cowering in fear whenever he heard Theo's name.

…

Meanwhile, Theo let out a long sigh after experiencing such a situation, unaware that the problem had been solved.

He simply made his way to his home after handing all the Material Cards to the company.

"Ava?" asked Theo while glancing around to check whether someone was on their tail or not.

However, Ava only tapped his stomach once instead of twice, telling him that they were clear.

Since he had finished his job, Theo returned to his house and felt relieved.

Ava leaped off his body while Theo dropped to the couch, sighing. "I guess this is one of the best scenarios. I thought there were at least a few influences that would threaten me, but to think there was only one… I guess I'm pretty lucky.

"Also, I have sold everything, so my money should be increasing gradually." Theo muttered while looking at Ava, "What do you think? I mean, the city."

Ava's expression brightened as she raised her hands until she fell on her back. "Kyu!"

"I'm glad." Theo smiled, seeing Ava had her fun. He needed to hide her since it would be troublesome if someone pointed the monster detector to Ava. After all, not only was she a monster, but she was also so rare that not much information was recorded. On top of that, Ava was extremely cute.

This kind of monster would certainly incite people's greed.

He then remembered another matter and opened his Skylink, typing "Valkyrie" on the Skynet.

"Still, this is my mother, huh." Theo sighed. He did a quick search to find all information related to her, but he couldn't find a single piece of information about his father. He thought this happened due to the Griffith Family, so he didn't pursue this matter any longer.

Instead, he was looking forward to the next mission, so he could get the information from Agata.

"Well, I have many things to do right now like training… Ehm? Training?!" Theo remembered his advice from Fenrir and quickly grabbed all the Skill Cards he had.

Out of a hundred Skill Cards, he only had four C Rank Skill Cards due to the fact he hunted in an area where there weren't any C Rank monsters.

Only the Zombie Lich, Megalo Fish, and Squiddy Lamp were Hero Rank monsters.

He then checked the upgrade requirement again.

Skill: Clone (C) – Upgradable

Upgrade: 7 Rank C Skill and Fuse 15 Rank D Skills

"…" Theo could only let out a long sigh. "I don't have a problem with the D Rank Skills anymore. However, I can only upgrade when I get my money."

Theo checked his ID Card to see the money in his account.

ID: 280104977610

Name: Theodore Griffith

Balance: 3,101,600 Zil

"This is not enough." Theo let out a long sigh. "I will get 17 million from the Undead Flesh Cards, 15 million from Purple Haze Grass, 1 million from Megalo Fish, 2 million from Scott, and a total of 19 million from meeting people. In total, I will get 54 million.

"If I sold the Material Cards without caring about the money, I could only get around 20 million. And the current method may take a while, but I can get around 25 to 30 million if I let the company take over the sales.

"Well, rare items like Megalo Fish Fang and Lich Jewel should be easy to sell, so I should get at least 10 million within a week. This should be enough for the time being, but I'm frustrated not to be able to use this money today.

"After all, the money I get from the temples will only come to my account after 24 hours. In any case, I should be able to upgrade two C Rank Skills to B Rank skills with this money. The problem is which skill. The Clone skill will take the first spot, but… should I upgrade Blink, Magic Bullet, or Illusion Manipulation?" Theo's expression turned serious, pondering the pros and cons of every skill.

In the end, he waited for the money to come first and calmed his mind by practicing on the pool, trying to increase his Control over Magic Bullet before reading the Eagle Vision book during the night.

The next day.

Theo received the money from the temple and used it to buy C Rank Skills. Of course, he bought all the cheap ones. He ended up getting more C Rank Skills than he needed, so he decided to level up his main firepower first.

Skill: Magic Bullet (B)

Effect: Summon up to 2x20 powerful magic bullets. Tracking (Optional).

Skill: Clone (B)

Effect: A skill that allows the user to create a clone of himself. Due to the current skill rank, the user can create the same body, control its movement, share vision, talk, use skills, insert blood, and gain five senses. Other parts are still locked.

"Perfection."
