God of Tricksters

Theo's base.

"Haha. They're panicking right now." Maya laughed. She was having dinner at Theo's house since she couldn't go back right now due to the conflict between them.

"You're still in the mood to laugh? You won't be able to work anytime soon, you know." Theo sighed.

"I'll consider this a vacation. I have hidden my airplane and the blueprints, so they can't really get it from me." Maya chuckled.

"They might be able to impose some laws to get the blueprints, you know."

"I will have your pillar as well as your support. With them, I'm not afraid of the government. Besides, I have separated the manufacturing process so that no one knows the exact process from start to finish. If they want to get the information from my employees, they will be facing a big puzzle I've prepared for them."

"Though, it'll affect your employees."

"Nah. I've given them paid leaves for this."

"Even though you're a capitalist?"

"Hahaha. True, I might have gone insane by giving them paid leaves. Then, again… I treated my people well. I have the monopoly anyway, so it's fine to give them some benefits."

"Well, they might force you to split your companies."

"Nah, don't worry. I have prepared for that." Maya smirked. "You don't need to take care of my business. As long as I'm the one holding the reins, I won't allow anyone to disrupt my business."

"As expected from the most talented businesswoman in the world, Maya Hamilton." Theo chuckled, jokingly clapping his hands.

"Even though you said it that way, I'm still going to take it as a compliment." Maya shamelessly accepted the praises. "Instead of me, let's talk about your plan. I mean, now that you have solved the pollution problem, what are you going to do next? Is it about the chemicals?"

"Hmm. I guess we're approaching the final fight." Theo made a small smile. He was happy that the situation would be resolved soon and he would have time to marry Agata, but he was also sad because he couldn't predict the result of the last battle.

"Well, aren't you happy, Agata? Your fiance can finally marry you after that battle?" Maya smirked, teasing Agata.

Agata chuckled but shook her head. "No. I'm worried instead."

"Worry? You don't want to marry him?"

"No. I'm not talking about that. I'm just worried about the final fight. How about asking him about the probability of our success?"

"Huh?" Maya was confused and turned to him. "What's the chance of us surviving?"

"Fifty-fifty… No, should I say, forty-sixty… in their favor."

"Huh?" Maya widened her eyes in shock. "Seriously?"

Even though Theo was unsure about the result, he usually had eighty to ninety percent confidence. Yet, this time, Theo had such a low probability. It was simply unbelievable.

Of course, Theo added, "Ah, by the way, you don't have to worry. Our marriage will be held, one hundred percent."

"Haha. You should focus on your matter first. Just leave the marriage matters to me." Agata chuckled.

Maya frowned. Theo had just shown his uncertainty, yet, they both seemed calm.

Agata had blind trust in Theo, while the latter knew no matter what, he would do what he had promised. That was why they were calm.

Meanwhile, Maya had to consider this carefully. "By the way, what are you planning to do next? Since you have such low confidence, I'll do my best to fulfill your conditions. Even if whatever I'm doing only increases the chance by one percent, I'll still do it."

Theo smiled. "Thanks for the support. You don't have many things to do to be honest. Just build and commercialize the airplane as soon as possible.

"After that, we'll be able to step on our next plan." Theo thought for a moment. "Well, if possible, extend it to the union first instead of United Asia."

"Huh? Why union? You have a lot of allies in United Asia. If we connect this base to United Asia, we'll be able to gain their support…" Maya narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean? I want to fly both my grandparents and parents-in-law here so they can witness our wedding…" Theo rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you looking at me that way?"

Maya stared at him with a gaze devoid of emotions as if she didn't believe Theo thought that way. Knowing how much of a schemer Theo was, that was the last thing that should come out of his mouth.

So, Maya knew Theo had an ulterior motive.

Theo sighed and said, "It's just bait."

"Bait? Who are you planning to cat—!!" Maya paused, realizing the real fish. "The remnant of Griffith Family."

"That's not all." Theo shook his head. "There is one more person who has a grudge against me."

"One more person… You won't care about any insignificant person. Then, the only one who can fight you is…" Maya gasped. "The Fist Saint?!"

"Yeah." Theo nodded. "I'm assuming they have met."

"Are you planning to invite them here? Are you insane?"

Theo sighed. "This is why I don't want to talk about it too much. I'm aware of the risk, but by inviting them here, we can concentrate on the destruction in this place. It's better to end everything once for all.

"If this place doesn't seem to be able to hold on, I already have an excuse to leave this place anyway." Theo smirked.

Maya trembled when she heard the reasons. She thought Theo was simply cornering the government, but it seemed he had been preparing an escape plan if something went wrong.

When that happened, it was better to bring her company to United Asia and develop there.

This was Theo's real plan. He planned to bring the current President, the Vice President, the human's last mistake, and these three Saints together and kill them in one go.

However, because all of them came together, the risks would become extremely high. That was why Theo showed such low confidence. In other words, this was a gamble made by Theo.

Whether it would work or not, no one could tell.
