God of Tricksters

Chapter 895 - Believe

"Avenge him? Forget him?"

When the question was out, Alea was stumped. No matter what, as her master, the empress needed to ask this question to her.

If she chose revenge, she could force Alea to learn anything. In the future, the feeling might diminish anyway. On the other hand, if she chose to forget about him, Alea could spend all her time focusing on her training.

Either way, both worked for the empress. This was why her answer was necessary.

"Can't you ask this question later?" Ana furrowed her eyebrows. She could understand Alea's feeling as Theo was just buried today in Italy, and Alea couldn't go there to visit him.

The empress shook her head. "That's something you need to answer now. Your future depends on the choice you make today."

"But you can ask her a few days later when everything has settled down." Ana still fought back, arguing about her timing.

Suddenly, Alea's hand reached her shoulder, stopping her.

"Alea? You don't need to answer it immediately. Let's go back to your room first and calm down, okay?" Ana was concerned with Alea, so she wanted to bring her away.

However, Alea shook her head and turned to the empress with a serious expression. She appeared to have gathered her resolve as she stated, "Neither!"

Her answer startled both the empress and Ana.

"Neither?!"

Alea smiled. "If it's anyone else, I might choose either of those two. But Theo is a different case. I might be naive and innocent… but I am confident I know Theo more than both of you.

"In every plan, Theo has never given any thought about his luck. He doesn't rely on it. If he chooses to die, you'll need to prepare for his revival. That's why I choose to believe him and practice more. My plan hasn't changed. I'm still going to prepare to go to Thersland to help him in his revenge."

This answer was full of conviction and even stunned the empress.

"Alea." The empress facepalmed. "This is why I hate love sh*t. They can turn a person into an idiot."

"Does Teacher forget about Agata? If she's still alive, Theo must be too."

"The one entering the Dark Poison Swamp might be an illusion of her. The real Agata was in her home during the whole ordeal. Enough, Alea. I know you don't like to see the man you chased dying, but you need to accept reality. Don't be an idiot who is consumed by your grief."

"You may call me an idiot right now, but in the future? Who knows." Alea made a gentle smile before clutching her chest. Her face became serious as she said, "Teacher. I don't wish to rebuke you, but I won't stop believing in him. No matter what, I'm going to fight until the very end."

The pain in her heart was painful. It was caused by none other than Agata. Even at the last moment, Agata could stay together with Theo. She couldn't help but feel envious and regret not taking her chance in the past.

This time, she wanted to fix her past mistakes and fight to the very end. As long as there was no confirmation from Agata, she would continue to fight.

…

The news shocked not only them but also the people around the world.

The people in Thersland were grieving over the fact the big genius hailed from their country would die not long after he reached the Supreme Rank.

Even the president gave his condolences to the War God Family.

There were two people meeting each other when they heard this news. They were his former teammates, Ellen and Phyrill.

"Phyrill… Did you hear?" Ellen asked with a tired face. There was a bag under her eyes, and her face was slightly pale, showing how much the news affected her.

Phyrill had a hard time settling his heart too, because this was Theo they were talking about. No one had ever scared him except Theo. And to think that person died.

"Yes." Phyrill nodded with a sad face. "Sihan died because of the conflict with Theo. Alea has gone to Russia while Laust is training in Japan. Now that Theo has died, there are only four of us here. It's getting lonely."

Ellen closed her eyes and remained silent. She also didn't like the fact their group had been torn apart.

"I'm also planning to go overseas."

"Eh? You too?" Ellen was horrified, never expecting to be the only person who remained in Thersland.

"Yeah." Phyrill fell silent for a moment before taking a deep breath. He looked into her eyes and asked, "I'm going to Egypt… Ellen. I'd like you to come with me."

Ellen's body trembled as she never saw this invitation coming. She could only stare at Phyrill without giving her answer.

…

Lange Family's Mansion.

"Haha. That bastard has died! Revenge? Bullsh*t. He can't do anything to me now!" Laust's father, Ben Lange, laughed hysterically. "That bastard deserves it."

Their situation had gotten worse after Laust went to Japan and his eldest son abandoned him. The grudge had been filling his heart.

The news sounded so sweet in his ears that he couldn't stop laughing.

"Hahahaha!"

…

Ray's Hidden Headquarters.

Valerie had gone back home after being sent away by Leonardo.

"I…" Valerie bit her lips with tears streaming down her face. "Theo… Theo shouldn't have died…"

Ray only hugged her and said, "Don't worry. Theo is a strong kid. He might still be alive somewhere. We should believe in him…"

While they were comforting each other, Nella overheard them and clenched her hands to the point her palms started bleeding.

'Why? Why do you believe he has died? Can't you be like Uncle Ray and trust his ability more? Do you have that little trust in him?' Nella's breath started becoming heavy. She left them alone while swearing in her heart. 'My cousin… You say my cousin, no, you say Theo's talent surpasses both of you.

'As his mother, you should believe him more… Unless his corpse is right before my eyes, I won't believe it. He must be still alive somewhere!'
