God Of Tricksters

Chapter 999 Checkmate

The Supreme Rank Experts that this old guy brought with him had started fighting back to help the soldiers from the beasts’ onslaught. So, he thought he should target them first to break the entire formation.

But Ama was the strategist of their Red Mouse. He should wait for his instruction first since Ama might have another plan to deal with them.

Hence, he charged forward and attacked the old man again.

The old man smirked and stated, “You’re rushing this battle. You’re going to be screwed in ten minutes.”

The Reaper Snake’s expression turned grim, realizing they were planning to attack them in ten minutes. He couldn’t help but shout, “Ama. They’re going to come out in ten minutes… No, because we have wasted a few minutes, it’s going to be around 7 minutes.”

”Got it.” Ama smirked and raised his left hand. “In that case, let’s play with this…”

Suddenly, a small firework appeared on his hand as he shot it into the sky.

*Boom!*

The fireworks shone brightly in the sky, but everyone knew it was a signal.

Even an idiot knew Ama was signaling the people in this area to do something. And because he shot it to the sky to reach an even farther distance, there should be another group of elites that would come to them.

”…” The old man maintained his calm and shouted, “Don’t worry. Everything is going to be settled in the next ten minutes. We will stop them here.”

The Reaper Snake couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, thinking, ‘Why is this guy so foolish to give us such important information? If we know about their ambush, they won’t be able to… Did they have another plan?’

His eyes glanced left and right and found their expressions to be in despair.

”Can we even hold out for another few minutes?”

”How many people will be coming?”

”How many people will die because of these few minutes?”

”Can’t they hurry up?”

The people from the Starry Group started losing hope because a signal like this might bring another Mythical Rank Expert or a group of Supreme Rank Experts. Even taking all these monsters and terrorists was all they could do; it was impossible to hold out if more people came.

Little did they know, Ama was laughing inwardly since the signal was fake. There was no reinforcement coming. He just wanted to shatter their confidence and feed them more despair.

As expected from someone blessed by a Trickster God.

Since he had confirmed the enemies’ condition, the Reaper Snake planned to give the last blow to devastate them by creating holes after holes in the old man’s body until he died. “In that case, I will kill you first.”

The latter used his water to heal the wounds, but the Reaper Snake was stronger, as one would expect from a vice leader of a big terrorist group.

”Kh…” After one minute, the old man had started panting, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the blood loss.

”My Martial Arts are better than you, so you won’t be able to stop me from wounding you. Just give up, it’s useless…” The Reaper Snake snorted and charged forward, planning to finish him in five minutes.

However, another surprise suddenly shook the battlefield.

”I’m finally out!” His tone was cheerful, and his mask stopped anyone from seeing his face. However, everyone recognized this person.

”Joker…”

That was right; the person that came out of the cave was none other than Joker.

Theo chuckled and waved his hands. “Ah, sorry. Those people are going to take longer… I came out because I’m bored.”

”What?!”

The entire battlefield was confused by Theo’s statement. It was clear that Theo alone wouldn’t be able to change the situation. In fact, if they captured Joker, they should be able to eliminate the rest of the Starry Group since Joker was a famous person in the US.

Yet, the latter actually chuckled and said, “Why are you guys struggling like this? We’ve checkmated them.”

The people’s eyebrows twitched as though they heard the most ridiculous thing ever. It was clear that they were in a difficult situation because of these five Mythical Rank Experts, yet he had the audacity to state they had checkmated them.

Ama was the first person to laugh. “Hahaha. You’re hilarious as your reputation suggests, Joker! Since that’s the case, I won’t be killing you… How about joining us instead? You can become my right hand man.”

”Hoh? If I agree, I won’t be killed?” Theo replied excitedly as if he wanted to switch sides to save himself.

”Of course. You look like an amusing person, so I think it’s better if you follow me.”

”You must be the guy who orchestrated the entire thing.” Theo nodded in agreement as though praising him.

”Oi, Joker. Are you going to betray us?” The old man shouted in anger, never expecting there would be this unexpected betrayal.

”Oh come on. Don’t do me dirty… Betraying you? Do you think we’re from the same side? I’m from the Star Group and you’re from the Starry Group. Although our companies are related, I am, by no means, yours.” Theo laughed. “If you all die here, no one will know what happened.”

”Hahaha. You’re truly amusing!” Ama laughed, becoming even more interested in Theo.

”You bastard! What the hell are you saying? Take it back right now!” The old man gritted his teeth, never expecting to hear Theo spouting nonsense.

”In that case, show your sincerity. I’m sure your strength is enough to kill these Supreme Rank Experts, right?” Ama smirked, trying to make Theo completely betray them because it would give another wave of despair to their hearts.

”Indeed. Let’s kill these Supreme Rank Experts.” Theo nodded in agreement as he looked around, choosing his targets.

”You bastard! Don’t you dare to do it! I’m warning you!” The old man raised his voice even more so that it started cracking.

Theo ignored his words and leaped toward a clash between two Supreme Rank Experts.

”Haha, he’s going to help me.” The terrorist laughed, staring at the soldier in front of him. He even exerted all his strength so that Theo could kill the soldier effortlessly. “Since you’re a new member, this is a gift for you.”

”What a generous person.” Theo also laughed as if completely blending with them. “In that case, let me take this free kill.”

Ama was still smiling while enjoying this farce, but he suddenly came to a realization of what Theo said. As expected from a trickster, he managed to realize Theo’s real intention sooner than anyone else.

’No. What did he say again? Checkmated? It’s not even five minutes and he’s already out without anyone accompanying him… No. This guy’s appearance must be the signal to…’ Ama was dumbstruck by the realization and shouted, “Wait. Dodge!”

”Huh?” The terrorist was confused, but he was too late to react. Theo’s sword suddenly stopped right behind the soldier’s neck as it released a beam of sword light that looped around the neck and pierced the terrorist’s head.

”What has just happened…” Every single person on the battlefield was confused.

”This is truly a free kill… What a generous person to offer his own life.” Theo smirked and looked at Ama as though he had just won. “What an interesting person you are, Mr. Terrorist.”

When he understood Theo’s plan, he started fuming in anger.

As a trickster, he was usually the person that manipulated the others. Yet, he just got played by a youngster like him. It was too embarrassing.

”You—!” He wanted to order the others to attack Theo, but a familiar woman’s voice overwhelmed all sorts of noises in the area.

”Aaaahhhh!”

”Sister!” Ama turned his head and saw his sister getting pinned down by a monkey. The latter even placed his hand on her neck, preparing to crush it.

”Don’t move, or she will die… Luckily, you’re using the monsters around here to attack the military, or else I can’t infiltrate your rank.” Theo smirked while giving the monkey a thumbs up, which got the same reply, annoying Ama even further.

”You—!” Before he finished his words again, four shadows appeared next to Ama. They were none other than the remaining Mythical Rank Experts in this operation.

In other words, the situation had been turned around by the moment Theo appeared.

Theo simply pointed his finger at him while saying happily, “I have told you… checkmate!”
