God Of Tricksters

Chapter 576 – Lorenzo Part 1

While Leonardo was engaging in a conversation with Sheira, Lorenzo was staring at Davi while carrying Theo on his shoulder. "I can help him go to the pickup area."

Davi was unsure whether it was a good move to approach Theo, but the latter simply nodded his head, saying it would be alright.

Lorenzo genuinely smiled and Davi ultimately disappeared, following them from behind.

Lorenzo then stomped the ground and a pink fog began to rise from the ground and cover them.

"Teleportation." Lorenzo poured more Magic Power to send them all the way to the area where the drivers dropped them off earlier. At the same time, the drones couldn't catch up with them, so they were free to talk about anything.

Lorenzo suddenly said, "You're so good despite your low level. I guess this is why many experts are focusing on their Five Aspects more than their levels."

Theo thought for a moment and shook his head. "I gave them the same amount of time."

"Oh?" Lorenzo furrowed his eyebrows. "That's one insane leveling speed you have there. Well, I don't really know how you level up, but you have my heartfelt admiration. It's my first time seeing someone like you."

Theo looked away while shrugging.

"Well, to be honest, I just want to say I would like us to be friends. So, I want to ask your opinion."

"Ehm." Theo looked down, thinking about it. "I don't know if we can be friends, but you can contact me or something."

He thought it wasn't that big of a deal, considering he had given his number to many people.

"That's certainly tempting." Lorenzo nodded in agreement. "Well, we don't bring our Skylink, so I will wait here until I get your number."

"Okay."

"By the way, is it fine if we talk about our battle earlier?" Lorenzo smiled and raised five fingers. "There were five big mistakes I had made in my perspective. The first one was not researching your information better. Information is the biggest weapon to defeat your opponent after all.

"The second one was that I had fallen into your traps since the first time you showed me your ability. This was a big mistake because I should have calculated the amount of your Magic Power.

"Third, I underestimated you despite having learned that I shouldn't look down on someone and prepared various plans to eliminate others. I should have taken this advice from my dad more earnestly.

"Fourth, I overestimated my own ability. Space Affinity is unique and versatile, but in terms of offensive ability, Time Affinity is more powerful despite many restrictions. I should have prepared for the worst before the battle began, so yeah, my performance was terrible.

"Last but not least, I shouldn't have taken your bait. In the last exchange, if I had approached you more carefully, I would have won. Of course, it won't be a good image, but in a life and death battle, you can't care less about it."

"These five mistakes brought me to this result." He let out a long sigh and asked, "What do you think about these five? You can say anything about it because I'm curious about your opinions. No need to think about sweet words."

Theo widened his eyes and realized that Lorenzo had a good observation. This might also be the first time he saw someone earnestly trying to improve other than him.

He felt Lorenzo was like the past him in Thersland, where he didn't care about losing to the others as long as he got something to review. That was how he got stronger in the first place.

Since they seemed to be similar, Theo decided not to lie. "As you said in the battle, I would have lost if we fought in a plain field. To be honest, I would have teleported far away from me to gather some information and sort my thoughts. I mean, you can teleport this far, so why not?"

"Ah!" Lorenzo gasped and covered his mouth in surprise. "Why didn't I think of that? I should have observed your abilities first. That's right. When you were surrounded, you chose to eliminate Ignazio in order to shift the focus to Luka and me, right?"

Theo smiled.

"I know it. Argh! Why didn't I see this earlier? During that time, you observed everyone's abilities and approached accordingly." Lorenzo sighed.

"As for the second one, I was just using my terrain to my advantage."

"Terrain to your advantage. That's true. Maybe I should have brought you to a place where there were many boulders in the area. Then I could use my Space Abilities to attack you with those boulders. This will give me more options to attack." Lorenzo nodded in agreement.

"And I never underestimate anyone, even if my opponent were a mere Normal Rank Expert." Theo shrugged.

"Fair enough. That was my mistake and I would like to apologize for underestimating you. It was rude." Lorenzo lowered his head, sincerely apologizing to him. This just showed that despite bearing the number one position, he didn't feel too proud of himself. He didn't mind taking advice from someone younger than him.

"Also, I don't know much about your Space Ability, so I can't say much regarding the fourth one."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Lorenzo smirked.

"I would be lying if I said I don't want to, but I am not planning to get it for free. To be honest, understanding many other powers is beneficial for us…"

Lorenzo finished Theo's words. "Because we know how to deal with them."

"Yes." Theo nodded.

"I see. That's a unique view toward abilities. Theory alone isn't that hard… I guess I can do that in my free time. Thanks for the advice."

"No problem."

"Well, buy me a beer and we can talk about my Space Ability. As I said, I want to improve as much as possible and I know you can fulfill that desire, so I wish for a long good relationship… Not in a sexual way of course. And you can get any information from me like Italy's powerhouses or other family members' abilities.

"From the looks of it, you're not planning to stay for a long time, no?" He glanced at him.

"Haha." Instead of answering his question, Theo changed the topic. "Anyway, the last one was simply you had no other choice. There is a time we need to fight with our life on the line…"

"Ah, you knew I couldn't do something that shameless, so you chose to lock my options?" Lorenzo widened his eyes.

"Just make your performance badass, and the people will think of you as a cool guy."

"Is that how you retain your reputation?" Lorenzo twitched his eyebrows.. "You're truly nasty."
