God Of Tricksters

"Are you done?" Agata asked as the group seemed to have gathered in the meeting room. Maya was the only one who wasn't present in the meeting room as she was taking care of her company. Though, she still joined them through the call.

Felix was the last person to enter since he had to receive Theo's warning beforehand.

And there was something he had to tell them first. Felix nodded, entered the room, and said, "According to him, it's not the time to reveal the Mafia Queen."

Agata and Rea immediately frowned upon this matter. On the one hand, the Mafia Queen would be their best fighter and support. On the other hand, Theo must want to hide the Mafia Queen to the very last moment as his trump card.

Agata and Rea exchanged looks while Felix took a seat.

"Alright. Before we discuss our plan, we have to see our enemies first." Agata nodded to Millie, who was handling the projector so that everyone could see Theo's video.

The video was about Theo using his illusion power to show what happened not long ago. It might not be a video since everything came from his head, so the humanoid monsters' faces were blurry as Theo couldn't remember all of them. If this was a video, they might have had an easier time, but due to this ability, Theo could retreat easily without leaking any information through his Skylink.

They watched the video carefully and started feeling horrified. They never expected that Theo would lose against the slime. And it wasn't an ordinary loss, it was a complete defeat.

Felix couldn't help but remember when Theo told him to evolve in this battle. If the enemy was this strong, they would lose if he didn't evolve and protect everyone.

He clenched his fists as he was determined to do everything he could.

Meanwhile, the others had a headache because of the humanoid monsters.

They knew what to expect from the enemies.

As soon as the video was over, Agata immediately stated with a grim expression. "This requires a lot of manpower along with powerful people. I'm afraid we have to get everyone's cooperation if we want to protect this base. I can't think of any plan to stop them, but seeing how they're far stronger than anyone in their levels…"

Agata paused for a moment before saying with a cold tone. "Let's reveal all our cards first so that we know what we can work with."

They nodded in agreement. The first one to speak was Rea.

"Our group won't be enough to handle this. It's clear that to attack this base, they can simply sneak in through the gap. After all, it's impossible to maintain surveillance in all borders with only us.

"So, I'm thinking about using the military to watch the borders. Then again, I don't know if they can be trusted. Their commanders might be spies and allow the enemies to enter…" Rea thought for a moment. "So, we have to solve the trust issues first. How…"

Everyone was turning their heads to Nella. Nella was the next head of the Griffith Family, a family known for their espionage. So, she might be the only one that could solve this problem.

Nella made a wry smile as she embarrassedly said, "I'm not sure about this since I don't have full control yet. But I can ask."

Before anyone gave a reply, Felix actually remembered another warning. "That's right. He has left us with all the preparations. So, we have to use them properly…"

"What is that preparation?" Rea asked, trying to remember any special things Theo had left behind.

"The plane? Was he implying the people from other bases?" Agata frowned while glancing at Maya, who was working on it.

Maya wanted to agree with her statement at first. But she remembered there was another special occasion where Theo tricked a lot of people.

Maya's expression changed as she never thought that speech would come in handy. She explained, "I think he meant the people of the base, specifically the companies, organizations, and big families.

"He forced me to make a speech in front of those influential figures and somehow convince everyone. So, I think this is the case.

"Since our opponent is the slime, the ones coming to attack us should be the same. So, we can ask them to help us."

That was right. Maya gave a speech about the incoming enemies when they were experimenting with the slime monster. If she handled it right, she would be able to gather hundreds if not thousands of experts.

There should be at least five hundred Mythical Rank Experts from all of them. This should be enough since three Transcendent Level Experts would be helping them. They also had Rea, Ruth, Felix, and Ava.

"…" Agata glanced at Rea, who nodded her head. "Can you handle the negotiation, Maya?"

"Leave it to me." Maya nodded. "It seems that this operation will be relying on me a lot. For now, I'll be using my money to handle this matter. If you need anything, my company can take out resources from our storage.

"I don't mind using most of my resources this time since if those monsters enter the base, my company might collapse. As long as we win this, I can monopolize the market anyway, so you don't need to hold back."

"Thank you." Agata nodded while thinking about something. 𝚋𝚎ｄ𝚗ｏｖ𝚎𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖

Rea seemed to have thought the same thing as she addressed another matter. "That's right. Do any of you have any connection with the military? Well, it's possible to move them, but if we don't have a lot of people to handle them, they won't perform as we expect them to."

"Should we gather the five commanders that once fought with Theo?" Agata asked.

"We might have to do it. At the very least, the enemies don't know Theo isn't here, including the spies hidden in this base. We have to maintain that scenario until we defeat them, so we'll employ a lot of people, making them think Theo is staying in the base so that he can observe the whole situation," Rea explained and glanced at Akbar.

"What do you think, Akbar?"
