Chapter 99

She quickly adjusted her facial expression and showed a surprised look: "Hey, brave man? Why are you here?"

"Well, this bar in the civilian area is not bad. I'll go have a drink. Miss Athena, why are you in the civilian area? This place is not in line with your noble status. You should go to more elegant places..."

You are pretending, you are obviously here to have a tryst with a woman.

"The milk tea in this shop is good..."

You are pretending, you are obviously here to monitor me.

The two people said insincere words to each other. The difference is that one knows everything, and the other thinks he is pretending well.

Qin Chu looked up at the horizon: "It's getting late. I know there's a nice hotel over there. Miss Athena, I wonder if I can have the honor of inviting you to dinner? Or are you going to drink milk tea here all day?"

"Sorry, it's not nice to say this, but... it's really easy to get fat if you drink too much milk tea."

Athena subconsciously wanted to refuse, but this was an opportunity to deepen her understanding of Qin Chu. After all, she still knew too little about this man. It would be best if she could wait until Lord Jello regained consciousness.

Her white and tender fingers dropped a banknote on the table. Athena walked out of the milk tea shop with a perfect figure, and her face was full of gentle and charming smiles: "Of course, it's my honor."

"Besides, I am very confident in my body management." Athena added.

Women are very concerned about their bodies, even in front of men they hate.

The two walked side by side, with a faint smile on their faces. No one showed their true thoughts. Their temperament was incompatible with the mixed civilian area.

After passing through the isolation wall, the noisy sound stopped abruptly, and the air became particularly fresh.

Whether the taste of the restaurant in the noble district is satisfactory or not, the price is definitely satisfactory. A table of dishes cost Qin Chu thousands of mana, which is by no means a small number.

A bottle of red wine said to be 200 years old costs more than 30,000 mana.

"Before the meal..." Qin Chu did not rush to pick up the knife and fork: "Sorry!"

Athena, who was preparing a napkin, looked at Qin Chu in surprise: "Why did the brave man apologize?"

"That... last night, I was wrong, I'm sorry." Qin Chu apologized for his behavior yesterday very honestly.

Qin Chu was apologizing for threatening her with the soul fragments of the first generation of heroes.

After a short pause, Qin Chu continued: "I know that the first generation of heroes, Jello, is a very good person. Many people like him. The members of your brave team are with Jello day and night, so it is natural that they are even more so."

"So, I accidentally heard some nobles say that the members of your brave team are very resistant to summoning the second generation of heroes, that is, me..."

"So, I have no good feelings towards the members of the brave team, and I am even a little jealous."

"When I went to rescue Benson before, Karsus even attacked me for no reason. I almost died under Karsus's gun, which made me hate the members of the brave team even more."

"So I did that to you yesterday. I'm really sorry." Qin Chu expressed his apology very sincerely.

Karsus, that idiot.

Sure enough, Jello also said that Karsus had attacked Qin Chu.

So did Qin Chu, who had just returned, vent his anger on himself?

Athena cursed Karsas who was about to be executed in her heart, with a gentle smile on her face: "It's okay, it was indeed our fault before, the hero doesn't have to take it to heart."

"We will have to work together to fight against monsters in the future, and we can't ruin our relationship because of these small things, right?"

Qin Chu seemed to relax: "Haha, it's true, and after a period of getting along, I also found that not everyone in the brave team is a bad guy like Karsas, there are still good people."

"For example, Saint Miss Rossweisse is a very gentle person."

"And Miss Ekaterina... Although we had a little misunderstanding at the beginning, we have a good relationship now."

More than good, you and Ekaterina are together almost every day, right?

This stupid man really doesn't know anything. Rossweisse's gentleness is just a disguise, and Ekaterina is with him just to revive Jello.

The more Athena looks at him, the more she feels that this man is really pitiful.

In her words, Athena can clearly feel Qin Chu's admiration for Ekaterina and Rossweisse.

It's no wonder that this man would find Angelica and the bar owner... Perhaps, only women of this level can satisfy his pitiful self-esteem.

Qin Chu and Rossweisse didn't spend much time together. Most of what he talked about was Ekaterina's affairs. As Athena listened, she felt irritated for no reason.

Ekaterina was the first person to sacrifice for Master Jello, so she naturally occupied an important position in Master Jello's heart. After that, every time Ekaterina was with Qin Chu, she could help Master Jello recover. If this continued, if Master Jello woke up one day, it would almost be Ekaterina's credit. Her position in Master Jello's heart would probably be far inferior to Ekaterina's.

Athena also hopes that Jero will wake up soon, but he really can't pass this level.

She instinctively loathed the man opposite her.

Unfortunately, even though the meal was coming to an end, Master Jero's consciousness never appeared.

On the other side, Athena actually knows that this will happen sooner or later. This is a necessary condition for Master Jero to recover... Otherwise, in decades, who knows what accidents will happen in this long time. Lord Gerald is so fragile now. Any accident may cause Lord Gerald to never be resurrected.

Every extra day is an extra day of danger.

There is a war between heaven and man in Athena's heart, Lord Jero's resurrection, Qin Chu who disgusts her, Ekaterina's sacrifice, that woman's status in Lord Jero's heart...

She kept pouring herself wine, and there was a blush on her cheeks.

If Qin Chu is allowed to interact with ordinary noble ladies, will it also speed up the awakening of Lord Jero's consciousness? Athena suddenly thought of this, but... she quickly shook her head. Master Jero did not mention this before, only saying that she and Ekaterina and herself could...

With Lord Jero's gentleness, if this was really effective, he would not let Yekaterina sacrifice at all, and would just let Qin Chu go find those noble ladies.

Perhaps, this is the bond formed by her and Ekaterina, as members of the Brave Team, spending a long time with Master Jero.

Now, Lord Zero only has them!

If they are no longer willing to sacrifice and pay, then Master Jero will never be able to be resurrected.

"Your Majesty the Brave, can you let me take another look at that soul fragment?" Asina asked suddenly, and then she remembered that the soul fragment seemed to have been integrated into Qin Chu's body.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chu quickly took out the soul fragment and said, "Of course."

Athena's face was suddenly startled when she saw the soul fragment again. The soul fragment was covered with dense cracks like spider webs. The feeling of Master Jero on the soul fragment also became extremely weak.

Qin Chu scratched his hair in embarrassment, and immediately said as if he remembered something: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't destroy this thing intentionally."

He didn't destroy it, he just poured the star flame fighting energy into it and cracked the soul fragments from the inside.

Athena did not suspect that Qin Chu deliberately destroyed it. Whether it was crushed or smashed, it would not leave such even cracks. It looked more like natural...

"I don't know what happened. After you left yesterday, I woke up like this."

Athena's face was extremely gloomy. This was not a good sign in any case. After much thought, she could only think of one possibility, that is, the remnant soul of Master Jero yesterday was too seriously overdrawn.

Athena will never forget how painful it was for Master Jero to regain consciousness.

It was obvious that Master Jero was already supporting him forcefully at that time.

If it weren't for saving himself, Master Jero wouldn't have to endure such harm.

For a moment, Athena felt happy and regretful at the same time.

She wanted to make amends.

Qin Chu secretly peeked at Athena's face: "Miss Athena, if you want it, I'll give it to you. Anyway, it's of no use keeping this thing with me."

Athena shook her head and returned the soul fragment to Qin Chu. She was not sure whether something bad would happen if the soul fragment and the remnant soul were separated too far. It was better to be careful.

Moreover, Lord Jero's residual soul seemed to need the help of soul fragments to seize control of Qin Chu's body.

Taking a deep breath, Athena finally made a decision. She must make sacrifices for Lord Zero when they were the only ones left.

She stood up, exuding amazing charm: "Master Brave, I seem to be a little drunk..."

"I'm a little tired too. There seems to be a room upstairs. Can you help me go and rest?"

Finished the last chapter today. Although there are only four chapters, there are more words than yesterday.

Chapter 131 Dirty World

(Please recommend and vote for monthly tickets)

The beauty made a request, and Qin Chu couldn't refuse.

After all, Athena is already drunk. If Athena is left here, it will be too bad if she encounters someone with evil intentions.

That kind of image is scary just thinking about it.

As an elegant gentleman, Qin Chu really couldn't watch Athena encounter such danger, not to mention that he was the one who invited Athena over for dinner. If something happened, he would be very sad. Guilt.

Therefore, Qin Chu must protect Athena's safety both emotionally and rationally.

Seeing Athena's soft cheeks turn red, Qin Chu stood and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin: "Of course, beautiful lady, this is what I should do..."

Waved to the waiter, paid for the meal and arranged a comfortable room.

Qin Chu pretended not to notice the ambiguous look in the waiter's eyes. He only did this for Athena's safety, and it was not as dirty as the waiter thought.

He is a good man.

Athena seemed to have drank too much. Her plump body was shaky and she seemed to be unable to even stand. With Qin Chu's support, half of her body was leaning on Qin Chu's arms.

At this moment, Qin Chu looked at his nose and heart without squinting, as if he were a true gentleman.

The decent performance even made Athena, whose cheeks were flushed, a little confused. Is this really Qin Chu? Based on her understanding of Qin Chu, he shouldn't be like this?

She has shown it so obviously, but this guy still has no reaction?

Could it be that she is not as good as Angelica, the bar owner, or even Ekaterina, the rude female gorilla?

She can lose to anyone, but she is particularly unhappy about losing to Ekaterina!

The door was pushed open with a creak, and Athena's body trembled.

"Miss Athena, you take a rest first, I'm going back."

Qin Chu escorted Athena to the door but did not enter the room. As a gentleman, he could not enter the lady's room at will.

Qin Chu turned around and wanted to leave, but a white and tender little hand grabbed his wrist.

Athena knew what would happen next.

It was because she knew that she was even more afraid. She felt a strong regret in her heart, and she had the urge to run out of the room directly...

She was afraid, she was terrified...

This person was not Jello, he was Qin Chu.

Her fingers were clenched tightly, and she suppressed the fear in her heart with great willpower. She knew that she could not escape. Once she escaped, the recovery of Lord Jello would become a distant prospect.

The soul fragments had cracked, and she had to restore Lord Jello as soon as possible.

Hold on, must hold on, as long as you hold on for a while, the nightmare will end.

...

Athena no longer had the strength to speak.

After tidying up her clothes, Qin Chu picked up Jello's soul fragments on the bedside table and threw them back into the storage ring.

Unknowingly, it was late at night.

The temperature was a bit cold.

Walking on the deserted street, the night breeze blew, and Qin Chu felt refreshed.

Thinking of Athena, Qin Chu couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth with a hint of mockery. Maybe this woman still thinks that she is sacrificing for Jello and is moving herself?

The premise is that the woman still has the ability to think.

The evil fire in his chest was vented a little, and then came the emptiness.

Staring at the hazy city shrouded in the night, Qin Chu narrowed his eyes slightly. What will this city look like in the near future?

Broken walls, corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood?

He didn't know that he had given everything for this city and this continent. He sweated and bled countless times and wandered on the edge of life and death, but he did not get the gentleness of this world. This long-rotten world rewarded him with deadly poisons and swords.

Click... click...

Only Qin Chu's footsteps echoed in the silent streets.

"Saya, we are walking on the right path, right?" Qin Chu asked suddenly. Only in front of Saya and Antia, Qin Chu would take off his thick disguise and show his true self, which was the truth that he had never shown in front of Angelica... and weakness.

This was also a rare moment of relaxation, which was precious to Qin Chu.

Saya's figure emerged from behind Qin Chu, with two slender arms around Qin Chu's neck, hanging behind Qin Chu like a koala as always.

She did not answer Qin Chu's question, but gently brushed Qin Chu's cheek with her slender palm. After a few seconds, Saya's voice finally entered Qin Chu's ears: "What is right and what is wrong?"

Saya knew every thought in Qin Chu's mind.
