God of Tricksters

"What's the situation?" The President asked with a serious expression. He noticed the change in the monitor and wanted to know what had happened.

"Our agents are hit. We have confirmed the Light Assassin and the Phantom Archer. We haven't found any trace of Maya Hamilton."

"Then, how's about the Sword Saint's daughter?"

"We haven't found her as well. However, we are assuming she will play a part in this matter, considering she is one of the Transcendent Level Experts on their side."

"Hurry up and find them. We also have to worry about the Griffith Family and Agata Mota. If we can capture one of his people, we can get anything we want."

"But how do we even get them?"

They had dispatched a lot of people, but Theo's strategy had surpassed that of a War Saint. It wouldn't be easy to capture his people as long as Theo was still in command.

That was why they approached this very carefully, like the Time God protecting the evidence.

However, they soon faced another challenge when Maya resurfaced. While they were talking about the facility, Maya hit the news by giving a big surprise to everyone.

"Maya Hamilton is planning to open an airline in three months' time after perfecting the airplane."

This was a major announcement, considering everyone knew how important the airline was at this time.

If the airline was truly open to the public, the top ten experts could go all around the world to help the base in need. Normal soldiers could also follow them, while businessmen could open their businesses all around the world again.

In other words, their progress would speed up. There would be a lot of agreement made between the three bases.

"What? We can travel to another base again?"

"My wife was teleported to the union and settled down for the time being. But if I could fly her back here, that would be perfect."

"Everyone wanted to fly, especially since the airplane had successfully carried Theodore Griffith multiple times. It seemed we could trust them."

While they were talking about the airline, Maya shocked them with a video.

In the video, there was a Supreme Rank Monster trying to break free from the cage located only one hundred feet from the airplane. Everyone could see the fierceness of the monster.

And when it was released, the monster instantly jumped toward the airplane, trying to destroy it. The stomped ground cracked, showing the strength of the monster.

But the moment the monster struck the airplane, it formed a barrier.

*Bam!*

The barrier completely protected the airplane, including from the shock wave of that attack. The monster was confused and used all its strength to destroy it but to no avail.

Everyone was stunned because they could see how the airplane's safety wasn't their concern anymore.

At the end of the video, Maya gave an explanation of the technology.

"After giving the design to Theo, he has made some adjustments regarding its safety. The result is that barrier. Humans can pass through it, but monsters can't. The barrier will stop an attack from Mythical Rank Monsters a few times. During that time, the airplane can fight back just to get away from the monsters.

"Of course, I can't tell you it's completely safe, but I can assure you this barrier will be able to hold on for a while, reducing the danger.

"I don't know if what he said is true or not, but he told me that the barrier had been toned down due to the size of the airplane. If he utilized the true power of that barrier, it could even withstand an attack from a World Class Monster.

"And with the engine that our company has developed, you'll rarely encounter monsters. In the next three months, we're going to test the airplane's effectiveness before opening it for commercial use."

The people in the US Base were stunned, the whole world was shocked. Theo had become a pioneer in almost everything. He was the one giving the concept of the current three bases they utilized right now. He also had the ability to upgrade people's skill ranks.

And this time, Theo shocked them with a barrier that could protect them from Mythical Rank Monsters. It was truly ridiculous.

However, Maya stated clearly that she didn't know what Theo did to the airplane to form that barrier. This meant if they wanted to know the secret, they would have to ask Theo personally.

Even if Maya was forced to split her company because of the monopoly law, they would only get her blueprints, not Theo's barrier. There was no way they could get the entire airplane from Maya directly.

"Damn. We can travel again?"

"In the current world, we can still go to other bases?"

"I know it's going to be expensive, but a lot of people will surely line up if they can fly to other bases."

"True. This is going to be a life changer. Even if they can get her blueprints, there's no way they can receive the same protection from Theodore Griffith."

"Damn. This is too good to be true. I'm looking forward to the test in the next three months."

The people were excited. They almost forgot about the laboratory and the Vice President's incident.

However, the white house had a completely different atmosphere. It was surely great for the world, but it also meant Theo would be even stronger in people's minds.

"Kh. They're releasing that information right now?" The President gritted his teeth. "Are they trying to overwrite the news?"

"No, I'm afraid they're just going to make a stronger image about Theo. This way, the evidence Theo provided would have more impact in their heart."

"We have to capture Maya right away and get the design and the airplane. We have to know the secret of that protection."

"Do we even know the plane's location?"

The people were silent. They wanted to give a suggestion, but they were confused as to what Theo planned to do next.

And this was when Rea began to move with the beggar association.
