God of Tricksters

Zhao Jia let out a long sigh, realizing that with this, the Griffith Family would be targeting them. However, Theo's matter would surely keep them busy for a while.

Zhao Jia clapped her hand once, removing the barrier that isolated these five people.

"We'd like to thank you for your assistance." Rea politely nodded her head.

"I'm simply doing my job." Zhao Jia shook her head with a calm expression. The situation became extremely complicated, so she didn't know what to do after this.

"Hehe, if you come to fight me, I'd be dead… one hundred percent. But then again, I believe in our leader… he's guaranteed me that I only have to do my parts." Akbar grinned, glancing at Zhao Jia.

"I am not here to be friends with you guys. Since I have done my job, I will be returning."

When Zhao Jia was about to turn around, Rea suddenly stopped her. "Wait for a moment. Theo has asked me to pass this message to you."

Zhao Jia stopped and looked at her, wondering what she had to say.

Rea raised one finger. "One year. Everything will be answered in one year, but you have to prepare for everything, including the safety of the people. No one can tell what will happen, but even if you ask the Heavenly Sovereign, you will find the same answer."

"One year?" Zhao Jia squinted her eyes, not understanding what this meant. Rea seemed to be exaggerating it a bit, but Zhao Jia felt she would indeed get the same answer from the Heavenly Sovereign.

So, she nodded her head and said, "I understand. I'll keep that in mind."

Rea also didn't know what Theo meant, but everything seemed to be clear after one year. Hence, she planned to ask for Theo's instruction about this matter later.

While watching Zhao Jia leaving, Akbar asked, "Since when Theo told you that?"

"Before we left. It seemed he only told me and Agata in this situation. I don't understand the meaning though."

"Hmm? That's kinda weird. How far do you think you can reach in one year?"

"Not very sure, but I don't think it's that high. Still, it's different for Theo… I bet he can do much more." Rea sighed. "Anyway, do you mind cleaning up this area?"

"Sure. Have fun with the family reunion." Akbar nodded.

Rea then left to Sojuro and the two elders that he had brought. It had been a long time since they last met, and Sojuro could see her progress. In fact, he couldn't even show his power thoroughly because the battle ended so soon.

Meanwhile, the Magic Saint, Mason Griffith, was enjoying their win against Theo in this battle. He had gotten the report of the Heavenly Sovereign destroying Theo's clone in Japan and heard the president ordering the capture of Nagasawa Rea and Akbaraly Ibraev.

With this, all the pieces had been gathered. They all needed to move to the next step.

"Hehe, it seems that the current Theodore Griffith will become superior to the clone. And I'll be the one to win the most. If this momentum continues, my Griffith Family will become the greatest influence in the world, far surpassing any country. I will make sure that all the people who have deserted the Griffith Family suffer in the future."

Mason Griffith was smiling while going home through the other side since it was better not to stay in one place for so long. There was a chance that the Heavenly Sovereign would return as well, so he decided to wait for the news in anticipation.

Little did he know, the news that he would be receiving upon his return was the exact opposite of what he was expecting.

On the other hand, Zhao Jia was thinking about the warning Theo gave to her.

'One year… What does that mean? If we're talking about Theodore Griffith, I have seen his growth in the past few years. Although I'm sure that he can progress by leaps and bounds, the gap between each stage is going to be vast from this point on.

'Even he won't be able to easily learn them. So, I wonder what he's planning to do one year from now. I want to ask my teacher, but…' Zhao Jia looked up, recalling the grinning face of the Heavenly Sovereign who would always be teasing her. She almost snapped and took a deep breath to calm her heart down.

'Still, it doesn't change the fact that the president has chosen Theo's side instead of the Griffith Family. With what we have done right now, we have solved the grievance between us.

'At the very least, the Griffith Family doesn't have enough personnel to fight us right now, so they can only target Theodore Griffith.

'So, what I should do after my return is… prepare for the meeting tomorrow. No, wait. My master told me to worry about the meeting tomorrow because something big will happen.

'Does that mean he's already aware of the warning? Is the meeting tomorrow for that one-year warning? What's going to happen?'

'No, knowing my master. He will most likely return early in the morning even though the meeting is around 10 am. If that's the case…' Zhao Jia squinted her eyes, steeling her resolve. She had gotten some clues, but she acknowledged her lack of information. So, the best course of action was to go to the person she loved and hated at the same time, Feng Hao.

The next day.

The Heavenly Sovereign was grinning while walking in the airport. "I'm finally back. I wonder what kind of place I should visit next?"

However, he suddenly turned his head around and saw his cold but cute disciple, Zhao Jia.

She was staring at him intensely as if she wanted to lecture him.

"Oh, it's rare for you to wait for your master here!" The Heavenly Sovereign smirked and started acting chummy, wanting to hug this disciple of his.

But he soon stopped and his expression changed when Zhao Jia opened her mouth. "Master! I'd like you to explain something to me!"

It seemed that Zhao Jia had noticed something. Even the Heavenly Sovereign turned serious as he nodded, "Sure. Let's go to the meeting place then. I'll tell you on the way."
