God of Tricksters Chapter 1118 Challenge

Chapter 1118 Challenge

Inside the meeting room, the atmosphere became tense and quiet when Theo and Christopher took their seats.
Behind Christopher was his butler, while Theo was accompanied by Isaac and Felix. Because Christopher showed his hostility earlier, Theo managed to receive his bracelet back along with Felix's sword.
So, even if the other party wanted to make a move, Felix would be able to fend him off.
Now that the two men had taken their seats, it soon became a staring contest as Christopher tried to look better because of what happened earlier. Since Theo had gotten some advantage, he should at least present himself in a better way so that the Supreme Rank Expert before him didn't look down on him.
"I know that you're going to recruit me. I already have told everyone that the requirement to recruit me is to create the soundworld that I want." Christopher narrowed his eyes. "Even if you get some help from him, you can't still fulfill my requirement. After all, Jeff couldn't reproduce the soundworld that I want because of his lack of knowledge.
"You are the same. You don't understand music. That's why you can't recruit me, and that favor is useless if you want to use it to recruit me."
Christopher had made his stance clear from the very first time. He was already using the sound wave to push them away earlier, so Christopher would become a bit more biased toward Theo.
Before stating his request, Theo asked with a calm tone. "So, why did you push us away even after accepting my request to meet?"
"…" Christopher hesitated for a moment and kept staring at Theo's eyes. Theo didn't even blink, exerting all the pressure to gain his answer.
In the end, Christopher closed his eyes and raised two fingers. "Two reasons. First, you don't know anything about music. You aren't capable of fulfilling my wish. Second, you're just a mere Supreme Rank Expert. In this present day, you should know that strength and background are the deciding factors.
"Most of the time, the battle has been decided before it even starts. There's no need to even come up with a strategy because you're going to lose against a Mythical Rank Expert.
"I won't even consider working for a weak person like you. Even if you use your connection to gain a Mythical Rank Expert to follow you, it's impossible. After all, you will end up being a burden to the team. The man I work for shall always be at the very front because I'm an Enchanter. If I can't even use my ability to support the leader, it's better to forget about it." Christopher stated two reasons that he personally believed.
Despite getting mocked by Christopher, Theo had no change in expression. He still looked at Christopher without flinching.
"So, you're telling me that I'm weak?" Theo narrowed his eyes, asking. He was the number one expert on the Asda Younger Generation List. There was no way such a person was weak.
"I know about your reputation. It's amazing that you can defeat Winston, but in the end, your level is still too low. If you come back after you reach Mythical Rank, I won't say something like this. As long as you can fulfill my dream, I won't hesitate to follow you." Christopher shook his head helplessly.
He explained in a roundabout way. After all, no one could say Theo was weak or else they would indirectly imply that all people in the Asda Younger Generation List were weak.
Obviously, compared to Mythical Rank Experts, those people might not be able to do anything.
However, they were still a younger generation. Even Christopher couldn't reach this position when he was a Supreme Rank Expert. By the time his strength was enough, he was already too old to join the list.
That was why no one dared to say they were weak.
Still, Theo was talking with a Mythical Rank Expert. Since he had gone all the way to recruit him, he was Theodore Griffith, not the number one person on the list. He couldn't rely on his background to pressure him.
"The Star Group is good, but their CEO isn't even a Mythical Rank Expert… Even the former CEO isn't a Mythical Rank Expert because they're too focused on making money. What I want is strength… For me, if violence is not an answer, then you haven't used enough violence.
"There are two ways to recruit me. First, become stronger than me and fulfill my dream. Or… You can become far too strong that I can't not accept your invitation. For example, those among the top one hundred experts in the world."
Theo smiled. "Even with my current strength, I can mess with your entire life."
"…" Christopher clicked his tongue and glared at him. "Are you blackmailing me? My career may end in this country, but I can simply go to a small country that doesn't have a single Mythical Rank and become a boss there. My life can still be better."
"I'm not talking about your photo." Theo shook his head.
"Then, what? The Star Group? I know that the Star Group is strong. As a talented man from the Star Group, your words sure have some effect on their CEO. And with the Star Group's influence, it's pretty easy for you to screw me over. However, that's not enough. I can still at least live a pretty good life out there." Christopher snorted, looking down on Theo.
"No. There's no need to use my influence. My power alone can screw you over." Theo shook his head, disappointed in Christopher.
"Huh?!" Christopher gritted his teeth, annoyed by Theo's overconfidence.
"Let's have a bet instead. And I have told you that I'm going to use that favor right now…" Theo smirked and pointed his finger at him. "Let's do it. We're going to have a duel. I'm going to beat you hard enough that you are going to accept me. Since I want to beat you until you can't go back up, let's do it this way…"
Theo's fingers were moving up and down as if typing something. However, Christopher knew what he was implying.
"You bas—" He wanted to curse but refrained himself. After all, Theo wanted to fight him in his own game.
"That's right. Let's trade the condition to recruit you. We're going to have a duel with a piano. You and me. If you lose, you're going to work for me." Theo smirked.
