Luo En smiled and nodded. After thanking Charon for his kindness, he walked into the pitch-dark palace.
The vast hall was empty, save for a slender figure standing with hands clasped behind his back, gazing at a withered plant on the desk, seemingly lost in thought.
It wasn’t until Luo En took seven or eight steps forward that the figure behind the desk came out of his reverie, looking towards the stepson who appeared before his eyes in surprise,
“Mmm, I have,” Luo En nodded, hesitating before asking, “I’ve heard from others that you’ve been in a bad mood lately?”
“It was true, but now that I’ve seen you return, my mood couldn’t be better!” Hades laughed heartily as he stepped out from behind the desk, slapping his adoptive son’s shoulder with a heavy hand, and warmly said, “Come, finally we can meet, let’s have a few drinks first!”
“But what? Have a drink with me first, we can talk about everything else after!”
Without waiting for a response, Hades cut off Luo En’s speech, pulling him to the dining table in the inner hall. He pressed him firmly into a chair and then took out a jar of long-cherished Ambrosial Honey Wine from the Magic Circle Diagram, opened the seal himself, and poured a drink for his long-lost adoptive son.
Such hospitality left Luo En somewhat flattered, and he quickly invited Hades to join him at the table.
After three cups, Luo En finally found a moment to address Hades seriously,
“You’re going to see Athena and the others, right? Finish this cup, and I’ll personally send you there.”
Hades spoke candidly, then raised his cup.
Luo En had no choice but to raise his glass, allowing his foster father to enjoy himself.
As the sweet wine slid down his throat, Luo En also heard a faint sigh at his ear,
“This one’s for an apology.”
“Ah? What do you mean?” Luo En was startled, somewhat taken aback.
A sharp glint burst forth from Hades’s palm, stabbing into Luo En’s chest with lightning speed before he could react.
Feeling the cold intent of death erupting inside him, surging straight for his Divine Core, Luo En’s face changed dramatically, struggling to break free.
However, the chair beneath him immediately transformed into several entwining snakes, tightly binding his limbs and torso.
At the same time, Hades twisted the dagger in his hand, and with his adoptive son’s incredulous gaze upon him, he shamefacedly lowered his head,
“An apology, because I’m about to commit a wrongdoing. I hope you don’t hold it against me…”
As Hades’s voice trailed off into an ever-lower murmur, Luo En’s struggles ceased, his body flopping heavily onto the table.
With a complex expression, Hades released the dagger, then, like an enraged lion, he roared into the deeper darkness of the Temple,
“I’ve done what you asked, where are my wife and daughter?”
“Don’t worry, they’re in a safe place.”
Amidst a coquettish, light laugh, Pandora, with her black hair and purple eyes, swayed her serpentine hips as she approached from the shadows.
Looking at the Messenger before him, Hades’s face was grim,
“After I’ve done all this, you’ll release my wife and daughter, you’ve promised!”
“Don’t be in such a hurry. Once Your Majesty has cleared the last obstacle on earth, you will naturally see the ones you wish to.”
Pandora soothed the infuriated Hades with a smile, her hand gathering a glowing light, and the phantom of the Troy Battlefield was grasped by those crystal-clear fingers.
The perfect Divine Business was now just one final step away!
