God of Tricksters

Chapter 372 - Movement Part 2

"Are you sure you want to do this, Agata?" The woman, who was none other than the pope's student Enrica, asked her best friend.

"Yes. I believe I'm the best candidate to go to Thersland." She nodded as her hair turned red and her face got slightly fatter, toning down her beauty a little bit. "I have prepared myself to do this."

"But do you know how to find him?" Enrica asked.

"I have my way."

"So, you plan to seduce him?" She smiled, teasing her.

"Nope." Agata shook her head and turned, walking to the bed and using it as her chair. She raised four fingers. "First of all, I doubt it can be done so easily and a person like him won't fall into tricks like this. Hence, I want to make a connection with him first… Probably as a friend. Everything can be built later with time."

"Ho?" Enrica became serious as Agata continued.

"Secondly, the closest one to him in our tournament group is me. I know that this kind of relationship is not that big of a deal, but he will certainly give me some face. That's when I can start my own plans.

"The third reason is to handle his problem there. As you know that although he has promised to come to us, not many know this truth or it will become big news already, especially from those who get rejected while being unaware of this agreement the entire time. Even his teammates were far from him when we held the conversation, remember?"

"Certainly." Enrica nodded. "I guess you have your reasons. I can send several people to help you, considering you need to deal with Supreme Rank Experts… After all, I'm sure you want to give some warning to those who covet him, right?"

"It's fine. My family's bodyguards can handle it for me. For now, I need to get a second identity."

"Wait, you are asking the wrong person if you want to do it." Enrica raised her hands instinctively. "Don't ask me for a counterfeit…"

"Haha." Agata chuckled. "I can do it by myself. I just want you to know I can only go in a week or so."

"Okay. In that case, I can inform my teacher so that he can talk with our Prime Minister about this matter." Enrica nodded, knowing why she talked to her regarding this matter. However, she continued with an unsure tone. "Then what is the fourth reason… You are raising four fingers, right?"

The blindfolded Enrica obviously couldn't see it as she was also still unsure about the vision in her mind.

Agata couldn't help but smile as she said the fourth reason. "What other reason could I have?"

"So, you are interested in him." Enrica sighed. "Well, I might have teased you this whole time, but I know that he is not interested in you, you know. I'm just afraid that you will get hurt after this."

Agata shook her head and put on a genuine smile. "All I know are two things. The chance will only become zero if I don't pursue him. After all, it's rare to see someone like him, so I can't afford to give up without even doing anything. The second thing is when I shall give up… Rica, I know when to act and when to give up. Please believe in me."

Enrica let out a long sigh. "Fine, fine. You can do whatever you want. I will just lend you my shoulder if you come to me crying later."

"Shouldn't you pray for my success?" Agata pouted.

"Haha, it's just me teasing you. Of course, I will pray for your success." Enrica smiled. "God bless you."

…

Similar discussions were happening in China.

Cheng Sui just came out of the meeting room while looking down.

Zhong Li, who stood behind the door, accompanied him while asking, "Why the long face? Is it still a no-go?"

"Yes. At first, they agreed to this, but since Theodore only said he would come to our country instead of joining our country, they are retracting their offer. Well, it's been debated as soon as they get the document from Theodore, though… I have tried to fight for the contract, including my pops, but it doesn't look that good."

"Have you considered the manual way?"

"I have, but we can't do anything unless Theodore comes to us directly. Yeah, they have forbidden us to send anything for a favor as well. It's true that Theodore may become stronger, but those people won't take the gamble. They will try to weaken him for the time being and when there is a chance, they may eliminate him. At the very least, we can't do anything before his 18th birthday." Cheng Sui shrugged.

"Well, he can choose an International Family that can rival the Griffith Family, so while he doesn't belong to the country, he can do anything in every corner of the world with that influence. I think this is his real plan…"

"Yeah. My pops said so too… The Griffith Family may be exceptionally strong, but it's not like they are at the top too. It's such a shame that we don't know which family he will go to. For now, we have narrowed the targets down to Italy, the US, the UK, Japan, and this country."

"Ho?" Zhong Li furrowed his eyebrows. "Italy's Pope is the target. There are several groups in the US that can stand toe to toe with the Griffith Family. The British Royal Family and that crazy Duke can do it too. Japan has two as well, while your Cheng Family is considered one from our country."

"Yeah. In any case, we can't do anything for the time being, so I will just see Theodore's choice."

"I don't want to be his enemy to be honest. Imagine if one of our strongest Mythical Rank Experts runs rampant in this country. Stopping them will be a mess."

"Indeed. What Theodore lacks right now is time and resources. As soon as he chooses an influence, he solves that problem." Cheng Sui sighed. "Either way, the country will try to prevent other countries from sending any support to him, so we don't get any disadvantages."

"That's impossible though."

"It's hard, but we should be able to stop some." Cheng Sui shrugged. "Anyway, let's go back to my house and have a drink. We can continue our talk there."

"Sure."
