God of Tricksters

"What a bold claim you have there."

"!!!" Everyone's attention suddenly turned to this incoming group.

Ryo, Ergene, and Nella, who was disguised as Ruth, glared at him as they didn't like what he said earlier.

Everybody sucked a cold breath, thinking there would be a bloodbath in this place.

"It seems that the World Martial Institute can turn people into brain-dead people who don't even have an etiquette," Theo, who was using Mark's appearance, said while looking at this Ragnar.

He never thought that the reunion with Alea, Ellen, and Phyrill would be in this situation.

"What did you say?" Ragnar stepped forward. Due to his height, he was looking down on Theo, who had smaller stature.

But Theo still had a calm expression as he said, "Oh, it turns out they're not just brain-dead, but also deaf."

Ragnar clenched his fists and raised them as if planning to hit Theo, but in that instant, Ryo had already reached his position and grabbed his wrist with a cold face. "What do you think you're doing?"

It seemed that none of them planned to drop the topic. Even the other Mythical Rank Experts from the World Martial Institute started to rise from their positions, planning to join the fight.

The tension was rising as the conflict was just one step away. If someone made a move this time, a brawl would surely happen.

However, one of the Mythical Rank Experts from the World Martial Institute came to them and said, "Let's just drop this topic. It's just a misunderstanding."

"Heh?" Theo glanced at this guy while stating coldly, "If I don't want to? This idiot is insulting not only the person himself but the entire Star Group."

"What do you want then?" The Mythical Rank Expert narrowed his eyes. "Don't forget that you also insult our institute."

"It's simple. I just want your World Martial Institute to issue a formal apology." Theo smirked.

"!!!" The Mythical Rank Expert's expression turned cold. "You are not planning to drop this matter?"

"Don't pick something so that you ask others to drop it back to the ground." Theo didn't back down.

He was indirectly implying that you didn't insult someone only to ask that person to drop the matter.

Unfortunately, someone broke the tension.

"How about we drop this matter with just him apologizing to you, Mr. Mark?" A feminine voice echoed in the area as all of them saw a black-haired woman walking with tens of experts around her.

Theo furrowed his eyebrows when he saw this person. The blackness of her hair didn't seem to be natural as Theo could see that it was excluding ominous energy.

"Princess, Joker is my friend as well as the most talented person from the Star Group. He is basically a figure that can represent the Star Group, just like your father. I'm sure that you don't like to have your father insulted just because of a mere joke, right?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"That is of course." It looked like she would be supporting Theo, but she added, "Even so, the more we waste time here, the more we're making my father wait. I don't care what you want to do after the mission, but I'd like to ask you to finish this matter so that we can leave."

"As you said... since you've requested it, I'll drop this matter for now. However, I won't forget to convey the message of the World Martial Institute to him." Theo smirked before glancing at Ergene.

'Why are you looking at me?' Ergene didn't know Theo's plan anymore since he was looking like a petty person this whole time.

However, there were a few people who didn't think the same. Ana was one of them. As someone who was handling the Empress' Palace, she obviously knew the current politics and situation all around the world.

Obviously, the news about Joker visiting Mongolia and someone eliminating a group consisting of many Mythical Rank Experts had reached her ears. By glancing at Ergene, Theo made her think that Joker would be doing the same 'visit' to the World Martial Institute. When that happened, no one would be able to predict the outcome.

Meanwhile, the Poison Princess didn't continue to pursue this matter while saying, "I don't ask much, but this trip is going to be extremely dangerous. I'd like to ask for your full cooperation so that we can reach the destination safely."

"Yes."

They nodded as the Princess' force was actually the same as their three influences combined. So, if the Princess joined hands with one of them, she would be able to wipe out the rest.

Of course, not many thought about it because they weren't aware of the danger that was lingering in this mission.

Even Theo remained silent while observing everyone's expression.

Before leaving, the Poison Princess said, "With the cooperation of three groups, I'll ask the Empress' Palace to take our front while the World Martial Institute and the Star Group protect the sides. My guards will take care of our rear as well as send help in case of an emergency.

"Our destination will be the Green Valley, a place filled with many poisonous animals. Don't worry, I'll be able to detoxify you in case you're poisoned during the trip. After that, I'd like all of you to remain on standby for five hours because there is a chance that the monster will rush to our place during the ritual.

"I promise that you all will be rewarded greatly." The Poison Princess paused for a moment and turned to Theo. "I'm sorry, but I need to confirm this. Are you confident in dealing with the monster if they come your way? Your group is a bit small compared to others."

Theo nodded his head with a calm expression. "We won't have a problem in handling the monsters."

"Okay then. I shall trust your judgment and the Star Group." The Poison Princess took a deep breath and said, "I know that this is going to be extremely dangerous, but I'd like to ask for your help."

She politely bowed as if she respected each of the experts sent to this place. After that, the journey finally began.
