God of Tricksters Chapter 416 – War God Family

Theo remained silent for a few minutes. Agata's arms were circling around his neck while she kept saying, "It's okay. It's okay."

Theo used those few minutes to calm his heart and sort his thoughts. After a while, he finally opened his mouth. "I'm okay now."

Agata widened her eyes and took a step back, releasing him. Instead of teasing him or something, she asked with a worried expression. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." Theo nodded and let out a long sigh. "Sorry for showing you such an embarrassing thing."

"It's okay." She made a gentle smile and returned to her seat, saying, "I see you as a normal human now… Like anybody else. Normally, you have that stern and uninterested face, but… What is it again? It just feels down to earth when you are this way."

Theo closed his eyes and made a modest smile. However, remembering Theo's smiles that were mostly forced smiles or ing from a joke, this genuine smile somehow entranced her.

She thought, 'So, he can smile like this too.'

"Ehm, was my mother happy with her decision to leave the family?" Theo asked.

"I am not very sure. I don't get the information from them as well." She shook her head. "All I know is their love story. Your mother met your father when there was an alliance between three countries to take down a monster. They didn't tell me the names though.

"After several twists and turns, they both fell in love. Because the Griffith Family and the War God Family were kind of equal, they thought it was easy for them to marry each other. Unfortunately, both of them had made a few enemies while they fought together for a few years, forcing them to separate for a while.

"Hmm, how long was it?" Agata paused for a moment before shaking her head, not remembering the context. "Anyway, your father came again to the War God Family and eloped with your mother.

"Together, they killed all their pursuers. When they became Mythical Rank Experts, all of their enemies cowered in fear. Unfortunately, at that time, they disappeared from the world. Some thought they provoked another enemy and were heavily injured.

"But the truth was…" Agata glanced at him mysteriously.

Theo understood her glance and nodded. "I see. It was me, right?"

"Yes. The date matches, so after enough tracing, your grandfather knows that you are their son." She nodded. "After a few years, they finally left you and returned to the Griffith Family."

"What's about my father? What is his position in the Griffith Family?" Theo asked. He was disappointed to know their enemies were cowering in fear. After all, this meant his parents had the choice to live together with him for a long time instead of faking their death.

Fortunately, he had shed his tears earlier, so he didn't feel like doing it anymore. He simply focused on the important matter.

Hearing his question, Agata shook her head in disappointment. "I asked your grandfather, but he didn't give me an answer. He only told me to wait until the Griffith Family came to you. He said he couldn't help you with this information for the time being unless you are one of them."

"I can understand the situation." Theo nodded and scratched the back of his head. "In other words, my father is someone important in this family. If he were a peasant, the information could be easily disclosed. If he were in a bad situation, he wouldn't tell me to wait for the Griffith Family since they might just e to bully me or something."

Agata chuckled and said, "Your grandfather told me you would realize that your father is someone important from the message alone. I guess he is right."

Theo shrugged and looked away.

"That's all I can say regarding your mother."

"Okay, thank you very much for the information." Theo closed his eyes. "Can you explain to me what you know about the War God Family?"

"Certainly." She nodded her head and continued, "The War God Family has a long history. Blessings from war-like figures are more preferred in this family… I mean, look at the family name."

"So, if we don't have that kind of blessing, will I face some prejudices?" Theo frowned as he started clenching his fists.

Knowing Theo was bullied in the past, she hurriedly explained, "Not really. The people won't look down on you because of that, but only those who have it can bee the family head. If you don't have one, the highest position you can have is an elder position. Well, they need to retain their reputation as well since they are the "War God Family."

"Understandable." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"The family itself has a few branches in other countries. The ones on the surface are in Indonesia, China, Russia, France, England, and the US. There are a few smaller branches and hidden branches, but even I don't know much about them."

"That's the same as the Griffith Family?"

"Quite like them. Each of these branches has at least one Mythical Rank Expert holding the fort."

"No wonder." Theo nodded. "Then I guess the Griffith Family only has hidden branches in other countries."

"Yes. They are fortably manipulating many things from the shadows. As for the details, you will probably need to ask your grandfather yourself. My family is quite big but can't be pared to the War God Family after all. If we poke the Griffith Family carelessly, my family may get wiped out in a single night."

"Well, I still have shallow knowledge of the scale of their influence, so I can't say much regarding it."

"If you e to the War God Family, you will gradually learn it."

"Yeah. Any big influence will certainly open my eyes." Theo nodded calmly, implying he still needed to consider his answer.

Agata didn't mind such an answer. At the very least, she had pleted the task from the War God Family and learned a bit more about Theo. She would be happier if she knew that she was the only one Theo had ever shown that side of him, but there was no way Theo would admit it.

Instead, she replied with, "I guess that's all. Do you have any questions? If you don't have one, do you mind if I ask you what you are going to do after this?"
