God Of Tricksters

"There are tens of thousands of people walking down the street."

"This is a rare sight where the people are standing together as one." b𝚎d𝚗𝚘𝚟el.𝚌o𝚖

"This might be the first demonstration ever held after the apocalypse."

"Everyone is seeking justice from the government about Theodore Griffith's treatment."

"They're questioning the government's integrity."

"It seems they're also protesting the government due to the reschedule of the Vice President's trial."

"Due to his health, the Vice President's trial couldn't be held."

"Is the white house protecting the Vice President after all the proof was laid down?"

The media went crazy. There were people on the street holding the first demonstration after the apocalypse. They didn't want Theo to leave. Whether it was for justice or they simply didn't want to lose Theo's protection, they still came.

They were protesting right in front of the new white house, asking for the answer. There was also a separate group that went straight to the court where they were supposed to hold the Vice President's trial.

The fact the government rescheduled the trial looked very sketchy. At the same time, how could they even hold a trial when the man was missing?

Obviously, a lot of people covered the entire process.

On the one side, someone asked a question. "Why do you participate in this demonstration?"

"Theo has been my idol. He has risen up from the very bottom, an inspiration to many. That's why I can't take it when the government is trying to eliminate him. Just give that dude a rest."

On another side, someone asked the same question but received a different answer.

"Back then, I didn't really care about the corrupt government. However, the current situation is different. We're surrounded by monsters and no one knows when they will attack us. So, we have to unite this time. A corrupt government will only ruin us, so it's better if a better person can take the helm."

There were a lot of opinions. However, most of them had shown their distrust of the government.

Theo's matter was the start, and the rescheduled trial was their breaking point. They wanted justice.

The President was gritting his teeth, looking at the current situation. He had been trying to find a solution but to no avail.

"How is the situation?" He asked, glaring at a middle-aged man next to him.

"We're doing our best to find him, but there is no clue yet."

The President gritted his teeth, not knowing what to do with the situation. "What's about the secret facility? If we can find it…"

The guy shook his head in disappointment. They truly had no clue.

But there was someone they could take advantage of.

"That's right. We still have one more person to find the clue. Back then, Theo said when we're stuck on searching for evidence, we can go to him."

The President slammed the table and shouted, "Do you think I'll bow down to him and ask for the evidence?"

"No, Sir. There was one reporter who received his words back then. We could use him."

"…" The President fell silent. This might be the only way. If they could force that guy to be a double agent, they could gain all the proof and the secret facility.

All of them were enough to prosecute the Vice President without him being present.

The President nodded. "Let's do it that way. Immediately go to that guy!"

Without hesitation, they instantly mobilized their agents to pay a visit to the reporter. This was their only chance to pacify the public's anger.

The longer they waited to explain the situation, the angrier the citizens would become.

So, it only took an hour before two people, one male and one female, arrived at the company the guy worked for.

They entered the building and showed their identities. The moment the receptionist saw it, they had no choice but to guide him.

The reporter was humming while looking at the news. By being the bravest one back then, he gained a lot of benefits. They tasked him to cover the news regarding Theo.

While he was preparing for the next news, a guy suddenly visited him and said, "Ron, you have visitors."

"Ah?" Ronald was confused for a moment and said, "Alright. I'll meet them."

Ronald tidied up his desk a bit before walking to the hallway to meet the visitors, only to find two unfamiliar faces.

"Huh?" Ronald was confused for a moment but the two smoothly walked toward him and caught him, preventing him from escaping.

"What are—" Ronald wanted to shout, but his mouth was covered and the guy said with a calm tone. "Mr. Ronald. We need you to come with us."

The guy showed his identity which made Ronald's face pale.

He realized the government had paid attention to him. He wanted to resist but both of them seemed to be strong enough to restrain him.

Still, he wouldn't go down without a fight. He was going to use all his strength to show the people around him he was unwilling to go with them.

Unfortunately, the female said, "We also have your family with us. So, it's best if you cooperate with us."

"!!!" Ronald widened his eyes, staring at the small video sample where they showed his house along with his kids playing in the backyard. It was clear they would harm them if he didn't follow these two.

Having no choice, Ronald bit his lips and nodded his head.

The guy finally released his mouth and extended his hand to the other side, asking him to walk. "Please."

Ronald might be able to escape here, but he knew there was no one who could deal with the people they sent to his house. So, Ronald followed them and went outside the building.

There was already a car ready to bring him somewhere.

They pushed him inside before leaving the company.

Ronald didn't know what was going to happen to him. However, he got a clue as to what reason they came to him after hearing their next question.
