God of Tricksters

Chapter 262 - Nella’s Confidence

Nella smiled when watching Theo's victory.

"It seems we are going to meet in the semifinal, cousin."

Hearing Nella's comment, Zara said, "We need to win against our opponent first."

"I know." Nella nodded with a serious expression. "However, I will be holding back tomorrow."

"Eh?" Zara and the others quickly turned to her in disbelief.

"I said, I won't use all my power. My Control and three skills alone should be enough for this. The rest will be up to you." Nella shrugged.

"But they are…" Zara wanted to protest, but Nella stopped her again.

"They have the Dragon King, Longwang. His water ability should be rendered useless by our Boreas… God of Northwind. The bringer of winter. I will handle that Leigong… What is it again? God of Thunder?" Nella thought for a moment. "Anyway, Clark and I will handle both of them. Their power won't be that effective against us.

"As for Mo Ning, who seems to have Three Legged Crow's blessing, I don't know if anyone can do it, but I will let Zara fight her. Last but not least, the bearer of Mu Guiying's blessing. Both of you are the same type, Luka. Your Lancelot against her Mu Guiying. That should be enough, right?"

When they thought about it, they seemed to understand what Nella planned to do.

"According to the explanation, we are going to have the same game as Block A." Zara paused, knowing Nella should have understood what she wanted to ask.

"Don't worry. We will be getting at least one win in that game. I will go for the third battle, while Zara and Clark will go for the fourth battle. I am not underestimating or looking down on them, but for China, we are their worst match-up compared to any other team. If we can't even win this, then we're simply too weak."

Zara and the others exchanged looks. Nella wouldn't change her mind no matter how they talked about it, and they also knew, even though Nella might not have the observation and thinking skills like Theo, her strategy should be working.

"We understand. We will do something about the first round." Zara replied with a serious expression.

…

While Nella's team continued their strategy meeting, Radvils had arrived at Thersland's waiting room.

Bam.

The door was slammed open as Radvils entered with a serious expression.

"I suppose… I should say congratulations to all of you." Radvils turned to Theo and said, "What are you planning to do now? Just for your information, I am not going to tell you anything."

"I will return tomorrow to watch the next match before locking myself inside my room to think about the next plan. As for the other two blocks, I will watch their videos." Theo answered.

"Is that so?" Radvils nodded and said, "I have sent the result to the president. I think you don't want to talk to him right now, so I told him that the meeting would only happen after the competition. Hence, I ask him to send us more money to squander. For now, let's go to a restaurant and get some food and drink to celebrate."

Theo thought for a moment and nodded. "I guess that's a good idea."

"Yes! Let's go!" Phyrill raised his hand. "I am going to eat and drink. Right, can we get some wine after this?"

"Your next battle is in four days. Suit yourself." Radvils agreed. "It's better to be drunk because of wine instead of your victory. It means that you can still perform the same way as today."

"Haha, that's an interesting belief you have there." Phyrill chuckled.

The rest chuckled as they followed Radvils to a restaurant where they could have a good time.

They got a round table, so Theo couldn't get away with the farthest seat and ended up having Ellen and Radvils sitting next to him.

With food on the table, Ellen hurriedly said before anyone started eating. "No matter what he said, Theo brought us to victory in this battle. We should have him deliver a speech first, don't you agree?"

"That's a good suggestion." Phyrill agreed without hesitation.

Surprisingly, Laust nodded right after him as he wanted Theo to suffer a bit.

"…" Theo's eyebrows twitched as he took a glance at everyone's expression that seemed to be telling him they wanted to hear his speech.

"I am not good at this, but I can say one thing for everyone."

"Good. We would like to hear it." Ellen nodded with a smile, enjoying herself with this.

"Alea, tone down your arrogance a little bit. Laust, handle your anger issue. Ellen, get serious, will you? Sihan, don't be too passive. Phyrill, don't talk too much. You all are annoying." Theo harrumphed.

"This guy… We just praised him and this is what happened…" Ellen chuckled and grabbed Theo's shoulder, pulling him to her side while poking his cheek. "You too, how about you calm down a bit? You are too serious this whole time. How about making a big smile as if you are enjoying your time, Not that villain smile that sends me a shiver? For starters, here is your wine."

She poured wine into his glass and handed it to him.

Theo gently pushed it away and said, "I don't drink no matter the occasion. I don't like to do something outside my control."

"Haha, look." Ellen smiled. "I will drink this one then. Anyway, cheers."

Theo nodded and grabbed a juice. "Cheers."

"Cheers!"

They all had some fun with food and drink. As one would expect, they didn't hold back since their match was still far away, so they drank to their heart content.

Alea soon had her head on the table like Laust as they couldn't handle more. Sihan had been drinking moderately to make sure everyone was alright if they were to return to their hotel. The same applied to Radvils.

However, to anyone's surprise, Ellen and Phyrill truly had some resistance to alcohol. They had been drinking nonstop, yet, there wasn't even a tinge red on their cheeks.

In the end, Theo carried Alea while Sihan took Laust with him. Even though they were fine, Radvils decided to accompany the boys to ensure nothing went wrong as they returned to the hotel.
