Chapter 23 Run Away, Divine Princes!
Chapter 23 Run Away, Divine Princes!
Rosen smiled and said, "No need to thank me. Now that you know about the future, is there anything else we need to cooperate with?"
He was very curious about what the sun god would do after such a change.
Will the other party choose to continue treating him as they are now, isolating him from everyone else, or will they choose to face his power and try to use it, or will they become even more wary of him and develop 800 contingency plans to deal with him?
Of course, Rosen did not overlook another possibility, such as the sun god thinking he was too dangerous and therefore taking action against him in advance.
However, this possibility is too small, and with the gem buckle, Lawson's means of escaping have been greatly enhanced, so there's not much to fear.
"...I will report this to the Lord." What Rosen could think of, Sasriel naturally thought of as well. After a few seconds of silence, He suddenly reached out and patted Rosen's head, then said, "Don't worry, I believe you are a good boy."
Rosen blinked, caught off guard by the sudden slap. Looking at Sasriel, who was radiating "motherly love," he said sincerely, "Sasriel, if one day you decide to make a righteous break with the Sun God, I will definitely help you."
Sasriel paused for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle. He looked at Amon and Adam in the room and instructed them, "Don't tell anyone else about what happened today."
Amon glanced at Rosen, then at Medici, and finally looked at Sasriel. Although somewhat regretful, he nodded and assured him, "I won't tell anyone."
Adam, being the more reliable firstborn son of God, naturally nodded and promised to keep it a secret.
Sasriel then looked at Medici and said, "Medici, I'd like to ask you to look after the three of them for a while. I need to leave for a bit."
He was going to report to the Lord what had happened that day.
"Don't worry, with me here, these little brats won't cause any trouble." Medici crossed his arms and nodded.
So Sasriel left.
After Sasriel left, Rosen immediately moved closer to Medici and stared intently into his eyes.
"What are you looking at, you little brat?" Medici felt a little uneasy under his gaze and glared at him irritably.
"I'm looking to see if there are any tears glistening in the corners of your eyes," Rosen answered honestly. He said seriously, "After all, a mother's embrace is so warm, isn't it?" His tone became less serious and more teasing towards the end.
"Really? Medici cried? I'm going to share this news with everyone." Amon immediately chimed in, his words revealing his old-school master of spreading rumors. Although he wasn't a Hunter Path user, he had mastered the essence of the Hunter Path.
Adam hesitated for a moment, then looked at Medici and said, "Perhaps you need me to step aside for a bit?"
Adam meant that as Medici's future "enemy," it was inappropriate for him to stay there. However, when combined with Rosen and Amon's words, it seemed as if he was saying, "If you're going to cry, it's not appropriate for me to stay here any longer."
"Yes, yes, Xiaohong, if you want to cry, we definitely won't stand here watching you cry. Don't worry, we'll leave right now and give you plenty of private space." Rosen immediately pressed his advantage, even offering the helpful suggestion, "Do you need me to help you blow out the candles?"
"Why do we blow out the candles?" Amon asked, raising his hand like a studious schoolchild.
"Because people are more relaxed in the dark?" Rosen asked uncertainly. He then shrugged and said, "Anyway, that's how it's portrayed in stories. If an adult wants to cry, they will never shed tears in public. Instead, they will choose to find a dark room to cry in secret."
"I see." Amon nodded, looking as if he had learned something, and then looked at Medici thoughtfully. After a couple of seconds, he suddenly said, "But Medici is a child now. He doesn't need to find a dark room to cry in secret. He can cry openly."
"Oh right!" Rosen suddenly realized, then he and Amon looked at Medici together. Their two different but remarkably similar faces were particularly irritating at that moment.
"Xiao Hong, do you still need us to avoid you?"
The thieves' twins asked in unison at that moment.
Medici: ...
"Heh!" Medici suddenly sneered, raising his fist, which looked as big as a sandbag due to being engulfed in flames, and said through gritted teeth, "You two are truly loving brothers!"
"Of course, I'm Amon's best brother!" Rosen nodded matter-of-factly, seemingly unaware of the impending danger, but his actions had already secretly shielded Amon in front of him.
"Rosen, you're wrong about that. Don't forget Adam is also our good brother!" Amon grabbed Adam and pulled him to his side, fully demonstrating the love and affection within the family.
"It's alright, the three of you can all be good brothers, and I'd be happy to help you strengthen your brotherhood." Medici said as he walked toward the children of the gods, raising his fist the size of a sandbag.
"...That won't be necessary. I think we already have a very good relationship." Rosen peeked out from behind Amon, his feigned adulthood gone and his childlike form restored. He said seriously, "Besides, bullying the younger one isn't appropriate, is it?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm a cub now anyway." Medici said this with a smug laugh, as if he had given up all hope.
"Hiss!" Rosen gasped, sensing that things had gone awry.
Amon glanced at him and whispered, "Why don't you release your control over me, and we'll beat Him up together?"
"No!" Rosen immediately shook his head, arguing, "What if you beat me up with Him? It's better to die together if we're going to die."
Amon: ...
Amon curled his lip and said irritably, "You deserve to be beaten to death."
"You too," Rosen replied softly.
"Have you two finished speaking? If you have, then we should begin." Medici's voice rang out at this moment, and the Martial God even gave the two cubs time to whisper, which was truly heartbreaking.
"So what does this have to do with me?" Adam asked, looking confused.
"I know, because you're a sunny and cheerful guy!" Rosen replied enthusiastically, then whispered, "Of course, the most important thing is that Xiao Hong was already annoyed by the future and wanted to beat you up, but she was too embarrassed to do so. Now she has the perfect opportunity."
Adam's expression became even more helpless.
Before they could continue their whispering, flames fell from the sky and nearly hit them. Luckily, each of them had some special skills and dodged in time, thus avoiding having their heads burned off.
"Run, my divine children, or I'd be happy to burn every single hair on your heads to ashes." Medici revealed a smug smile like a villain. He couldn't really do anything to Amon and Adam, but burning them bald and making them bald for a short time was no problem.
As for Rosen, he brought it on himself.
