God Of Tricksters

While they were observing the car, which turned out to be not surrounded by fog, they suddenly noticed a change in one of their agents.

"!!!" The agent was calmly observing the car from afar, but he suddenly felt a presence appearing behind him.

Before he could even say anything, Theo's voice echoed in his ears.

"It seems that all of you are determined to get the evidence from me. To think you would use an innocent person to get it from me."

"…" The agent's body shook, but he couldn't move at all. He was simply too scared since Theo was right behind him. He didn't know whether Theo would kill him or not if he turned around.

"Connect it to the one in charge," Theo stated with a cold tone.

"…" The agent didn't know whether he should do it or not. But Theo could simply kill him and use it himself.

Knowing Theo was capable of such a thing, the agent connected him with the rest. At that time, Theo opened his mouth.

"The government is truly shameless for using an innocent person like him. Isn't your job to protect the people? Why are you using this person to come and get killed for no reason?"

The people behind them were startled when they heard Theo's voice. Still, they had expected this situation, so they regained their calm pretty fast.

They said, "We're protecting the people."

"By sending an innocent person to his death?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Are you planning to kill an innocent person?"

"Of course not. However, I'm just afraid that he'll die after being used by you, the government's dogs."

"…" The people who heard that statement clenched their fists. It was unpleasant to their ears, but they couldn't let out their anger right now since this was the most important phase in their plan.

"I know that guy is unwilling to do all this. If that's the case, you must have threatened him for whatever reason you can find. Exceptional." Theo clapped nonchalantly.

"Please don't slander us, Mr. Theo."

"Slander, huh? That's quite surprising coming from you. Should I ask the guy, then?"

"…"

Theo shrugged while saying, "Yeah, yeah. So, I'm giving you this option. Leave right now, and I'll give the evidence to him. One of my people will help him get the evidence and make sure none of you are threatening him.

"If I do find you following him or threatening him before he reaches that place, I might be a bit merciless…" Theo smiled.

The people behind them instantly fell silent, knowing Theo wasn't playing with them. Theo should have seen through their operation and if he went rampage here, they would face a huge loss.

At the same time, Theo had told them he assured them of the safety of Ronald and his family until he received the evidence.

In other words, they could demand the information from him after that. There was no need to clash with Theo here.

Theo had all the advantages he needed to turn the government upside down. If they could get the evidence right away, they would be able to stop him.

From the looks of it, Theo planned to give the evidence as long as they allowed Ronald to leave and guaranteed his safety.

After some consideration, they believed cooperating with Theo was in their best interest.

It took them five minutes before making a decision.

"We understand. Our people will leave this area and allow him to drive back to his home without anyone following him. Since you're sending your people to escort him, we can guarantee your people can't sense our people because we honor the agreement.

"However, you should know about the situation in the base. So, I have to propose a time limit. If we can't get anything before tonight, we might have to do anything necessary to get it… even if it means angering you."

"Hmph. You have angered me by putting all these people in my territory."

"…" They didn't want to talk about it since it was a different matter.

In the end, Theo stepped back and said, "You better honor your agreement. Or I might be thoroughly angry."

After saying those words, Theo disappeared.

The guy who was threatened by Theo was shaking. He felt tremendous pressure from Theo's presence alone. It wasn't that he was scared of Theo. He was afraid of making any move that would end up annoying Theo since no one knew what would happen to him if he pissed Theo.

Since he had escaped death, the guy let out a long sigh of relief. He felt glad he was still alive.

"So, what should we do, Sir?" The guy asked. "Are we going to follow his words? But we have a lot of people here. There's no way he can find all of us."

It was a hard question. On the one hand, they were unwilling to let this go easily. On the other hand, Theo might cause a bigger problem, considering he had all the evidence. If it was related to the secret facility, the government would certainly be destroyed by the public.

The people here might be ready to sacrifice their lives, but they had to consider what was going to happen if they thoroughly angered Theo.

After all, the president previously had asked them to find the Vice President without going to Theo's territory. If not for the fact they were pushed into the corner, they wouldn't resort to this scheme.

After some thought, they made a decision.

"Retreat."

All the agents heard the command. Some were unwilling, while some felt relieved. They didn't want to fight Theo, who had saved the base multiple times after all.

As soon as the order was given, the agents hurriedly packed their equipment before beginning to leave the area. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝙢

It was a big movement and Theo could sense them just fine.

He closed his eyes for a moment before waving his hand, opening another layer of fog to make his appearance.

He raised his hand, stopping Roland.
