God of Tricksters

Chapter 282 - Fated Battle

The two teams returned as Sheira started discussing her opinion regarding this match.

"With Thersland taking the second battle, each team has one point. Everything will be resolved in the brawl after this match. I'm curious who is going to show up in the third battle. The team who will win this next battle will gain a lot of momentum for their team after all."

Despite Sheira's comment, all of them seemed to have one particular thought. They all wanted to see the battle between two siblings, Nella and Theo. Both of them were very talented, so they desired to witness the conclusion of their battle.

While they discussed it, Alea and the others had returned to their room with a big smile.

"Theo, we won! It took us four minutes." Phyrill gave a thumbs up with a smug.

"So?" Theo tilted his head in confusion.

"Come on. I know you are happy with this development." Phyrill shrugged.

"I don't care. I need to focus right now." Theo shook his head.

"Actually, I want to tell you something." Alea stopped him with a serious expression.

"Is it related to the match?"

"Yes."

"I understand. What is it?"

"After observing Clark a few times, I realize he is injured because of the previous battle against China Team. According to my judgment, his strength is around sixty to seventy percent of his original power."

"There is a chance that he is faking it."

Alea shook her head and asked a question. "Can you fake your expression to lie to me?"

"Hmm, I can, barely. But most of the time, I am just using your eyes to make you know what I want you to know before utilizing it against you." Theo answered honestly.

"But that's coming from you who has been together with me the longest, second to Ellen, right?" Alea shrugged. "For Clark, who knows nothing about my eyes, I don't think he has figured it out."

Theo looked down, falling into deep thought.

"I am pretty sure this is true. However, the number may be higher than my prediction, but I can assure you that he won't be able to utilize all his strength."

"I know. I will consider this as well." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "Anyway, I need to come out as soon as possible before they change their mind, so I will tell you my plan later, okay?"

"Understood." Phyrill gave a thumbs up to Theo. "Good luck."

Theo waved his hand and exited the room, heading straight to the arena.

Suddenly, the cheers erupted in the arena, shocking Sheira.

When she looked down, she couldn't help but feel the excitement. "The arena… The arena is shaking! Thersland Team has sent their representative and he is no other than Theodore Griffith!"

With just his appearance, Theo managed to grasp everyone's attention as he was the main focus of Thersland Team.

His expression was cool and aloof. His eyes were sharp and looking down on people as if he didn't care about others' opinions.

Carrying two spears, Theo walked to the center of the arena while staring at the drone that took a closer look at his face.

There was no change of expression in his face, making one understand he was here to win.

However, this carried a different meaning for the United Kingdom Team. This action managed to invite the one person he needed to fight on this occasion.

In United Kingdom Team's waiting room, Zara's eyebrows twitched as she said, "Look at this guy, it's not even that long and he is already in the arena. Even someone, who doesn't know much about strategy like me, understands that he is baiting us to take the field."

"No, that's the invitation for Nella, I guess. They are relatives, so I can see why he is doing this." Clark sighed. "He is the only person who can force Nella to take the field… Besides, I can confidently say he has something up to his sleeve."

"Well, we still need to win. For now, let's calm down and think about it. I'm sure Nella won't be provoked easily, right?" Zara turned around to look at Nella, only to find her nowhere to be found. "Eh?"

Zara rose from the chair and looked around, finding only five people in this room. "Where is Nella?"

Laura looked away as she answered her. "She's already gone… Before we even comment on Theo's action honestly."

"…" Zara's eyebrows twitched a few times before she started gnashing her teeth. All her anger erupted at the moment and she shouted. "That girl! I'm going to beat her!"

"Can you?" Clark asked with an innocent face before his collars were grabbed by Zara as the latter glared at him with killing intent. "What did you say, Punk? Want me to beat you?"

"I didn't say anything, Ma'am!"

…

"Uoh!" In the arena, the cheers changed when they noticed another person coming to the arena.

"She has come!" Sheira showed her excitement. "Nella Griffith has taken the field. This battle has become the battle between relatives. Two talented people from two different countries are going at each other. I can't wait for another second to see this match!"

Nella ignored them and came straight to Theo with a calm expression. "I believe you want me to come."

Theo smiled. "I guess so."

"Since Cousin has pissed me off earlier, I wonder if I should get another warm-up first."

"Do you think you can win in your condition?" Theo shook his head.

"I think I should be the one asking you that question." Nella smirked. "Even in this condition, can you defeat me? You knew you couldn't win, so you used that kind of tactic against me after all."

"Right? I am too scared of you. How about you give up so I won't be scared anymore?" Theo chuckled.

"I don't care about this competition to be honest. However, I have promised to bring this team to victory, so I can't really break my promise. I'm sure you don't want to know someone who can easily break her promise, right?"

"That's true." Theo nodded. "Then, we can only fight to settle this."

"That's what I plan to do." Nella stretched her hands, preparing to fight him.

Theo took a few steps back to get enough time to summon his clone.

Seeing the two siblings were ready, Diego raised his hand. "Match starts!"

"Uoh!"
