God of Tricksters

When they heard Theo's words, Lorenzo thought for a moment and said, "That depends on you. Let me see whether you're directly involved or not according to the information we have…

"First of all, they want to kill me for three reasons. First, they're trying to weaken them. If Grandfather and Father make their move personally, those influences behind them have a great reason to act and enter Italy.

"Second, they know that my father wants to train me this way. This has become a perfect opportunity to kill me. Well, I can't blame my father since if I die in this hurdle, I will be an embarrassment and not suitable for the leader role.

"Third, they want to swallow the other groups, trying to make a single large group that can contend with the War God Family and the Church. Obviously, they're a coward since they're waiting for Grandfather to pass away before launching this mission.

"Hence, I was asked to deal with them personally and the time limit was until Grandfather was too weak to do anything.

"As for your involvement… I believe there are two possibilities. First, they're thinking about utilizing our successor problem to create trouble in the War God Family. Well, they must not be aware of our relationship, so I don't care about this.

"Second, their backing seems to want you to remain in Italy. I mean, if you're leaving the family, with Grandfather's channel, you should be able to enter another country without anyone knowing.

"If you can grow while hiding your identity, it will be hard. So, they might want to push you into that position so they know you're here. I am not very sure about this, but I think they will approach you soon."

Before Lorenzo continued, Agata added, "There seems to be a personal mission involving the Safulli Group. They request your assistance or something, so I believe it's related to that."

"What's the mission?"

"That's…" Agata lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

"You don't want to say it?" Theo tilted his head in confusion. He immediately opened his Skylink and checked the log before finding the mission.

Mission: Assistance for acquiring another company.

Sender: Safulli Group.

"Hmm? What's this company?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"I believe it's her family's company." Felice suddenly opened her mouth, answering Theo's doubt.

"Hmm?" Theo squinted his eyes.

"The biggest Mota Family's business, Pata Corporation. If they gain this company, they will be able to swallow the Mota Family sooner or later."

Theo glanced at Agata and asked, "Is it true?"

Agata bit her lips and answered with a low voice. "I'm not very sure. But it's true that the conflict between my family and the Safoulli Group has begun again."

"Ho, that's interesting. Why didn't you tell me?"

Agata hesitated for a second. "That's… I don't want to bother you with this problem. After all, the enemy is the Safulli Group. Father also wants me to focus on studying under you, saying he will handle this matter.

"Above all, you have given too much. I—" Before Agata continued, Theo raised his voice. "So much bullshit. Agata, look at me."

Agata flinched and didn't comply.

"Look at my eyes! If you don't do it, I'll assume that you have been lying to me this whole time." Theo squinted his eyes.

Although reluctant, Agata raised her head, looking at him with fear reflected in her eyes.

"I have told you that I would be responsible for you if you agreed to become my assistant. If I don't even know that you're in trouble, how can I help?

"This excuse is shitty in my opinion. Are you planning to let your family get destroyed and cry for a month before you can explain this to me?

"You don't trust me that much, I guess."

"That's wrong!" Agata gritted her teeth, denying his claim.

"I dare to mess with the Griffith Family and the Czar. So, you are worried about me over this Safulli Group?"

Agata looked down and kept apologizing. "Sorry… I'm sorry."

Theo's emotion became a bit complex as he ended up placing his hand on her head. "I respect your boundary and you respect mine, but it doesn't mean that you need to keep everything to yourself.

"Especially if it's going to break this relationship apart. You should know my past, so you should know better than I don't like this.

"I would rather struggle than live in a lie created by someone's pain." Theo sighed. "I choose this place because it's where I can get strong enough to make sure my life won't be this way anymore.

"Even the strongest king will die in one way or another. If a person's mind is not enough to develop a solution, get another person.

"If you keep burdening yourself like this, the next thing I realize, I might need to see you leaving without even a single clue. I am not planning to lecture you… I just want you to trust me. Have you forgotten what you said to me a month ago?"

Agata trembled.

"Just leave this to me." Theo sighed and looked at Lorenzo. "I need Safulli Group's information, including their strength and weakness, allies and enemies."

"I have compiled some of them." Felice raised her hand.

"Okay. If you don't mind, send it to me later."

"I can do it now. Just need to send it to your Skylink directly."

"Sure. Just rest first to restore some of your strength before doing all this." Theo thought for a moment and looked at Lorenzo. "There seem to be a few more points that can show me how involved I am, right?"

"Yes." Lorenzo nodded with a serious expression.

"In that case, I will stop my hunt right now and immediately go straight home. If you don't mind, I want you to play along with me first."

"Sure. Everything you want me to do."

Agata never thought that Theo would stop the hunt and immediately returned… She never expected this situation to mess Theo's schedule up, even though Theo didn't like to have anyone disturb his schedule.

She started thinking, what if she had told him about this matter before coming to this side?

Before she continued regretting her action, Theo placed his hand on top of her head again and gently patted it a few times. "Well, if you trust me, I need your help to get me someone's number."

Agata gulped down and raised her head. She didn't want to disappoint him anymore, so she asked with a hoarse tone. "Who?"

"Your father."
