God of Tricksters-Novel

"This is not going to be good. Their faction has become too big right now." One of the staff stated while furrowing his eyebrows.

"This is really not good. We currently have the support of the Time God and three other Transcendent Level Experts. But their side has four Transcendent Level Experts, the Mafia Queen and Theodore Griffith."

"More importantly, three of their Transcendent Level Experts are new. This shows that Theodore Griffith has somehow found a way to make someone a Transcendent Level Expert in a short period of time. Just taking a look at this, we know there will be more Transcendent Level Experts born in his faction."

"But what should we do? This is the question right now. We have to act before it's too late. With their current power, they should be able to influence our authority. We can't let those people take control over this base."

"We should send the Time God immediately. He is the strongest person in the world, so even though Theodore Griffith and Alexandra Boric join hands, they still can't defeat him."

"Don't be ridiculous. The moment we send the Time God, they're going to retaliate. You should know Theodore Griffith has surpassed his grandfather, the War Saint. And if we push him too much, I'm afraid he's going to attack the base together with his clone. This way, we'll be besieged by three people of their level. Even the Time God couldn't stop them by himself."

"That means he's prepared to be a bad guy." Another guy harrumphed, thinking Theo would lose support from the people.

However, another guy rebuked that statement. "No way, I'm sure that everyone in this room is already aware of it… Theodore Griffith has the support of the people because he's able to twist everything to make himself look good. If we attack them, it's easy for him to brand us as the bad guy."

"Then, what should we do? Are we going to compromise with him? If we do this, there is a chance that both Theodore Griffith and Alexandra Boric act like they own this place."

No one could provide a plan. The biggest factor would be Theo himself. Not only did he have his clone to confuse them or even attack them from two sides, but he was also a genius who could control the war itself. Just like how he had done this whole time, it would be easy for Theo to understand their movement.

"We should kidnap his fiancee then. With how he loves her to the point he rejects all the women around him, it's clear that we can control him if we have his fiancee."

"Are you crazy? You're clearly trying to make an all-out war with him."

They were racking their brains, trying to find a way to fix this problem. Unfortunately, they couldn't bypass Theo no matter what they did.

It was impossible to acquire Alexa from him. As long as Alexa remained there, Theo would take action.

"Then, are we going to let them just like this?"

If Theo was here, he would just snort at them. All of them thought they were doing it for the people, but they were actually doing it for themselves. They wanted to be in control whether for their greed or their ambition.

That was why Theo didn't have any connection with the US Government after that incident. Even Maya agreed with him. The only reason why she helped them after the apocalypse was to establish her own company and help the people. It was a win-win situation.

But Maya never acknowledged she was connected to the government. At the same time, Maya also became one of Theo's greatest strengths. If Felix and the others could become influential because of their strength, Maya was the only one who could surpass them with money alone.

This was why, despite being his subordinate, Maya always saw Theo as an equal and challenged him like a rival.

The power she had could influence the base's economy. If the Star Group ever lived at the base, they would certainly question the government.

In the end, the moment they made a move, Theo could easily make the people look at them as the people in the union did.

Theo and the government knew this, putting the situation in complete check. With how her airplane succeeded in transporting people across the ocean, it was clear that they could bring Theo and Alexa's group to another base if they were cornered.

At that time, the only way for them to solve their problem was to ally with the remnants of the Griffith Family. But at that time, they knew they would be thoroughly branded as the bad guy.

To put it simply, Theo had put them in checkmate even before he asked Alexa to become his ally.

"Then, we have to wait and see first? We will try to find their weakness and see if we can take advantage of it to turn the situation around." Noᴠel Fɪre.net

"That's right. We shouldn't make any contact with them for now. Instead, we should put all our strength into surveillance. We have to maintain a close look at their operation."

The people seemed to finally agree on something, albeit they didn't sign up for what came next.

*Bam!*

"This is not good. We have an emergency!" One of the staff slammed the door open while shouting. "The Time God has disappeared."

"What?"

"At this point in time, he disappears?"

"What's the hell with the Time God? Does he know that we're in a dire situation?"

The staff gritted his teeth and continued the explanation. "We found his letter on his desk. The letter said…"

The staff hesitated for a moment, making people curious. But before they were angry at him, the guy finished his words. "The letter said, 'I'm going to meet the little bastard, Theo."

The moment they heard that statement, all their faces became aghast as their jaws dropped to the ground. They were talking about how they shouldn't make contact with Theo yet since they had no feasible plan, but the Time God broke every argument they had and simply went alone.
