"We're not just doing this for her, we also have use for Pontos's divinity..."
"And, we want the lion's share!"
The two sisters harmonized in their conspiratorial banter, their cooperation seamless.
Lou En chuckled nonchalantly, "No problem, given Keto's size, her divinity will certainly fill you up, and Little dusa's ascension won't be an issue."
Assured by the promise of the involved party, Stheno nodded contentedly and, with a graceful and restrained gesture, raised her right hand to signal with a languid nasal tone.
"So..."
Watching the crystal-clear arm voluntarily offered before him, Lou En was montarily stunned but then swiftly grasped the understanding, and firmly clasped the delicate hand with his own.
Having reached a tentative agreent, they exchanged a smile, their eyes revealing profound implications.
Ha, with such small favors, do you really think you can buy our loyalty?
Dream on!
Perfect, first we find a way to stay close to you, so that when the opportunity arises, we can expose your despicable nature. As long as Little dusa sees your true colors, that child will eventually realize that her sisters are the only ones in this world who truly love her.
Eventually, won't she obediently return with us to Formless Island?
The flickering light in Stheno and Euryale's eyes t, brimming with malice toward a certain soone.
anwhile, Lou En looked at the sisters before him and sneered inwardly.
Ha, think you can escape after boarding my ship?
Do you have any idea who is the real mastermind behind the monster attack on Crete Island?
—The lord of the Sea of Okeanos, the God of the Sea, Poseidon!
Once you make a spectacle of killing Keto in front of everyone, you'll be implicitly labeled with the brand of Crete Island and Athena.
Then, with Poseidon's millennium-long sches ruined, wouldn't he chase you across the seas like a dog after rabbits, biting on sight?
Thinking you can outsmart , take advantage of the situation, and then lead Little dusa back to Formless Island?
Maybe in your next life!
After a brief silence, the three conspirators' gazes converged, simultaneously offering awkward yet polite smiles.
"Haha..."
"Hahahahaha!"
The demonic laughter even gave Hestia, the witness standing by, goosebumps; she was filled with confusion.
Isn't this just a mutually beneficial agreent, what's so funny about that?
The overly honest and naive Goddess of the Hearth clearly didn't see the ruthless sches brewing behind their cooperative front.
In an atmosphere of eerie harmony, the increasingly warm and familiar parties released each other's hands, casually wiping their hands behind their backs, and amiably declared a formal alliance.
"Pleasure doing business with you."
"Pleasure doing business with you!"
Having achieved his goal, Lou En flicked the binding contract in his hand and eyed the two naive fools who had willingly fallen into the pit, his lips curling into a pleased smile.
Clearly, he had guessed right.
The reason dusa was the only mortal among the Gorgon Sisters was likely because she had ceded most of her Pontos divinity to her older sisters.
As a result, her growth was the least complete, making her the weakest among the three Gorgon sisters.
Despite Stheno and Euryale seemingly enjoying bullying their younger sister for fun, they undoubtedly cherished her deeply.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have left Formless Island, holding onto slim hopes, traversing the vast Sea of Okeanos to search for Little dusa's whereabouts.
Even after encountering the Atlantean Guard, divine warfare, and a beast tide, they still chose to doggedly pursue the truth.
After all, this was the Age of Greek Gods, where kinship often ant nothing more than brothers smiling as they plotted against each other.
So for Stheno and Euryale, anything that could enhance dusa's safety was not to be rejected.
Lou En had clearly recognized this aspect and thus fearlessly lured Stheno and Euryale into his fold.
And to get the Paru to work sincerely and devote their labor without reservation, a whip was definitely not enough.
A contract could only bind the body, but mutual interests could tie their fates together.
And then, there were no 'and thens.'
Swallow the bait, get pulled ashore from the sea, then faithfully work to death for !
Having successfully tad the rebellious Gorgon sisters, Lou En comfortably picked up his glass, sipped the flavored wine, and let out a satisfied moan; the weight that had been on his mind since taking power was finally put at ease.
In his mory, Keto t her end at the hands of dusa's petrifying gaze and the surprise attack from the demigod hero Perseus.
Now, with all three Gorgon sisters in play, he didn't believe he couldn't handle the so-called mother of monsters.
Having secured two top-tier tools, and having solved the biggest problem, Lou En was just about to drink another cup to celebrate.
"Let go of Lou En!"
Unexpectedly, a petite figure climbed through the window onto the second floor, burst through the door, and yanked him behind her, warily scanning the room.
A ssy bed sheet, disheveled clothing, suspicious Runes of shackles, Hestia's blushing face, and the hugging sisters...
Everything before her overloaded Little dusa's CPU, leaving her stunned on the spot.
On the way ho, she hadn't even entered the door when she caught the familiar scent in the air.
So, considering last night's encounter, Little dusa imdiately thought of her two dear sisters paying a visit and decided to climb through the window to protect Lou En, who might be bullied.
