God of Tricksters

Chapter 414 – Return

Chapter 414 - Return

After a few hours, Theo oversaw the process of dismantling. They took the scales, the eyes, blood, and some dragon flesh.

Obviously, due to the dragon's size, they could only take a certain amount until the cubicars were filled to the brim. Some of them even got stacked on top of the cubicars to get more.

Normally, if one touched the monster, the card would only give them tens of millions. But with them dismantling it manually, they got more ingredients and could sell them for hundreds of millions. In other words, the quantities increased the value to 5 to 10 times.

And they couldn't get all the materials and needed to send another group to get it back. Albeit, it was impossible since the monsters around would eat the monster's flesh and some groups that found it would have scavenged it.

Of course, since many of the Lange Family's elites had been eliminated in this expedition, the loss for the Lange Family was far greater than what they got from this dragon.

After all, fifteen level 320 experts could bring around ten million zils for net profit to the family, so it was quite a big deal to lose them. At the same time, they also needed to train their replacement which cost more money and paid Theo a large sum of money.

This was why Theo was a bit sure that he managed to deal a bit of damage to the Lange Family.

Unfortunately, he couldn't ask for the meat as a present for Ava since he would end up touching it and turning the dragon into cards. His job was only to move together with them until they returned to Ark City.

As soon as they reached their destination, the military and the Eilric Family left them.

Theo and Agata didn't have much luggage anyway, so they hurriedly went to the other side after Theo told Alea about the reward.

Although Alea promised him to fight for the reward, Theo could see her disturbed expression the whole time.

And apparently, the cause was Agata. Considering Agata refused to say anything, Theo put the matter down and believed Alea would overcome it sooner or later.

They called a taxi for Agata and agreed with one thing.

"Theo." Agata called his name and continued, "We will meet at the previous restaurant. As for the time… How about 1 PM?"

"Sure." Theo agreed. "By the way, are you going to talk about the contract?"

"Nope. We will wait until you are ready. After all, I believe you will grow even stronger at that time and the War God Family also needs to reconsider their first offer because it's just too disappointing." She thought for a moment and continued, "Though, you are coming there as an agent or something instead of a family member, no?"

"Yes." Theo nodded. Although he didn't hate the War God Family, the impact from the Griffith Family on his heart was just too big. He didn't feel like being too attached to a certain family because the blood running in his veins came from them.

Agata smiled and waved her hand. "Then, I will report what I have found. And since I have recorded the battle, I will give it to them. If you need the copy, just call me."

"Okay." Theo waved his hand and left after she entered the taxi.

He then headed straight home after leaving Ava alone for two weeks.

"Ava!" Theo called her name while opening the door.

In that instant, Ava rose from the couch with a sad expression. She even put her feet in her belly before leaping to Theo in tears. "Kyu!"

"Ahaha, are you hungry? I thought I had ordered a bunch of meat." Theo chuckled and caught Ava, placing her on top of his palm.

"Kyu!" Ava shook her head helplessly as if telling him cooked food and raw meat were not the same.

"Glutton." Theo laughed out loud and closed the door. Before putting down his luggage, he raised his handbag and said, "I have brought the ingredients. It's a level 400 Thunder Cockatrice meat. This will be our dinner."

"Kyu!" Ava blinked a few times and stared at Theo with expectation.

"Haha, you like it? I am going to cook it for you right now." Theo laughed and put his bag on the floor. "Help me organize the stuff on my bag while I cook this."

"Kyu!" Ava nodded a few times and quickly went to work with full energy.

…

Meanwhile, Nart Eilric was sitting inside his study room until his son, James Eilric, entered the room.

"Father."

Nart nodded with a serious expression.

"Alea wants to talk to us apparently," said James.

"Oh, you got her message too?"

"Yeah." James nodded and stopped before glancing at the door, soon finding his daughter opening it.

"How was your expedition, darling?" Nart put a big smile on.

The answer never came as Alea looked down, not showing them her expression.

"Alea?" James approached her carefully while trying to stroke her hair.

Before he touched her, Alea lowered her head even more and said out loud. "Papa, Grandpa… No, Father, Grandfather. I am sorry for everything I have done. I never realized my naivety made you suffer this whole time.

"I… I even…" Alea took a deep breath and decided not to continue it. "I… I just want to apologize for everything. I should have realized all this sooner."

Nart and James widened their eyes and exchanged looks as if they came to an understanding.

Nart couldn't help but smile. "I have been waiting for 10 years, 11 months, and 20 days for these words."

"Ten years…" Alea's body shook as she raised her head. She calculated the number in her head and soon realized it was the day she suffered her stupid trauma.

"Please forgive your father. It was my fault." James bent his knees and hugged her tightly. "I should be a better father to avoid the trauma. At that time, we agreed that we would support you without saying anything until your trauma was gone. After all, it's best if you were the one who got rid of that trauma, not your family forcing you to end it. Unfortunately, it ended up creating a small comfort zone in your heart."

"I was the one who asked him." Nart shook his head. "I have been informed about the problem. Although I am a bit hurt to know that a boy causes this movement in your heart, I am still glad that you have overcome it.

"Everyone will experience this setback in life that he thinks he is at the lowest point of their life. What you need to do is to learn from your mistake." Nart smiled and glanced at James. "Now that you have started walking on your two feet… if you want us to be harsh, we will do it. If you want to know everything, we will impart all our knowledge and experience. We will support you with everything we have… That's because we are family."
