God of Tricksters

After a long two weeks, Theo was sitting in front of his grandfather with several screens between them. The biggest screen showed a huge map.

"I gave you the homework yesterday, and now, let's talk about this country." Leonardo pointed at the name.

"In Indonesia, there are currently several conflicts between a few influences. However, I am choosing a specific influence for us to role-play."

Theo became a bit serious as there were two dots on the map. "The first one is Hugan Group in Indonesia's previous capital, Jakarta. The Hugan Group is a colossal business group with deep pockets and a stable flow of money.

"The second one is one of the most prominent families in the current capital in Kalimantan, Tanudjaja Family. They have the help of the local government, so both of them are equal." Theo assessed both of them according to the information he reviewed earlier.

"That's right. The fact they are located in two separate islands, direct conflict can be avoided…or not." Leonardo shrugged and pointed at the second one. "I will be manipulating the latter while you help the Hugan Group. We are trying to eliminate each other's influence, and we will have a turn in making our move."

Theo extended his hand. "Okay."

"Good. Let's start." Leonardo nodded and raised his hand at the same time as Theo. "Rock paper scissors shoot."

Theo played scissors while Leonardo used paper.

"I win." Theo then turned to the right, looking at the current number of the Hugan's money and the personnel he could mobilize. He had a capital of thirty billion Zils and ten Mythical Rank Experts along with a total of four thousand people to use.

Meanwhile, the opposite party only had ten billion and half of their number. From the condition alone, Theo seemed to have a massive advantage in the situation.

"Okay, since I have the advantage of the money, I am going to assign several missions in the temple near their family with the normal amount of the reward, but your Tanudjaja Family currently needs."

"Cutting their supply?" Leonardo smiled and nodded. "It's a good idea, especially since they're openly opposing each other. With their current money flow, they will be in trouble if they try to keep up with you."

"Yes." Theo agreed with Leonardo's assessment.

"Then, I will do this…" Leonardo opened another screen, showing three people's pictures. They all were the children of the family. "I will have three of them spend my money to buy the supply."

"Hmm?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"We have agreed. If we can see through the other party's intention, you should tell no lies and agree to share your thoughts about your own decision. On the other hand, if you don't know why I do that, we won't need to share our thoughts. Random speculation is not allowed."

"Yes, but…" Theo narrowed his eyes. "You're going to be using them as bait, right? Considering there is one child who needs to go all the way to Java to discuss business."

Leonardo smiled and nodded. "Yes. I was trying to make you assassinate the child so I can counter-ambush you without telling the kid that this is all according to the plan."

"In that case, I am using the time where your fighters are away to set up an ambush on the other side, eliminating all of your people. Of course, we're using the gate in Jakarta and going all the way to Kalimantan on the other side."

"Oops. You lower my number again." Leonardo smiled and raised his finger. "Then, I will bring the local government and military to look around for your trace. Of course, I will be telling them a lie and simply use my connections."

"I am going to make that lie reality by creating a swarm of monsters." Theo made his next move without hesitation.

Leonardo smiled and said to Theo, "I will be using this to influence the central government to act to suppress them."

"It gives me enough time to go back to Jakarta while offering money to the production company you hire to switch sides, forcing you to have no income."

"In the meantime, I will send all the children to Jakarta with five Mythical Rank Experts protecting them. Then, I will bring the local government to provide me with some securities."

"Why are you using them as bait?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows.

Leonardo smiled and shook his head, telling him that he guessed it wrong. Now, he had no right to ask the real intention of his move.

Without that knowledge, Theo pointed at the family, "In that case, I will be moving five of my Mythical Rank Experts to watch them. Meanwhile, I send the rest to start pressuring the people near your Tanudjaja Family in order to prevent them from helping you."

Leonardo nodded. "Looking at the situation, I don't have money and lack of manpower, huh…"

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Leonardo's face and said, "The three children will go separate ways. The first child will be going to East Java, the second one will stay in Jakarta, and the third kid will visit Central Java. I will let you think about the Mythical Rank Experts…"

Theo furrowed his eyebrows and realized that he might be ambushed if he attacked them. In order to make sure he didn't fall into traps, he needed to conduct an investigation.

"I will investigate the movement of your Mythical Rank Experts. At the same time, I will use my money to pay several Mythical Rank Experts and let you think about the numbers. Then, I will start killing a few of the Tanudjaja Family members."

Leonardo became serious as he answered, "Your investigation is successful. Only the one in Jakarta has one Mythical Rank Expert with him. As for you killing my people… I will bring the local government to spread it around, making sure not a single member of my family dies again."

"Then, I will use this chance to hit the child in Jakarta, including the Mythical Rank Experts with all my experts. Meanwhile, the rest of my troops are moving back to the other side, hiding there." Theo smiled.

"Hoho, my situation is not good right now." Leonardo chuckled.. "It's going to be hard for me sooner or later… Or so you think."
