The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 413 - 282: The Imprisonment of the Mother Fox_2

Chapter 413: Chapter 282: The Imprisonment of the Mother Fox_2

Although various clues indicated that the girl had secretly escaped on her own, as a guardian, the disappearance of the daughter of the Underworld King was not something she could easily excuse herself from.

At first, she thought that Hades and Persephone, being overly devoted parents, had hidden Melinoe away, so she tried several times to get close to them in an attempt to discover Melinoe’s whereabouts.

However, after digging up the entire Netherworld, even searching through Persephone’s garden thoroughly, she still couldn’t find any trace of Melinoe.

It turned out that the girl wasn’t in the Netherworld at all, but had been abducted to the present world by the young man before her.

At that moment, a main culprit pulled out the seized “Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction” and held it against Melinoe’s pale neck, smiling amiably at Hecate.

“Master, you wouldn’t want the Underworld King’s daughter to come to harm in your hands, would you?”

“Do you think having her lets you blackmail me?” Hecate retorted with a smile, dismissively, “She’s Hades’s daughter. What does she have to do with me?”

Luo En didn’t waste words; he slightly intensified his grip, and the bent blade of the “Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction” carved a blood trail on Melinoe’s neck.

“Stop!” Seeing that the other side seemed really about to proceed harshly, Hecate hurriedly intervened, her face a mix of annoyance and resentment, “Using my disciple to threaten me, don’t you think that’s a bit despicable?”

“Kids worry about noble and despicable, adults only consider pros and cons, isn’t that what you’ve said?”

Luo En looked at Hecate, his eyes mocking.

“How about it, I’ve learned quite well, haven’t I?”

“…”

Caught off-guard by her own teachings, Hecate was at a loss for words, only managing to waves her hands in displeasure.

“Speak, what do you want?”

“It’s simple, we negotiate…”

Just as Luo En began to speak, he felt a wind behind his head, and his body flew out a hundred-some meters as if struck by lightning.

And the Netherworld Goddess, who had been ready to lower her stance and negotiate terms, had unexpectedly appeared behind Luo En.

“How about that, my acting wasn’t too bad, was it?”

Hecate mockingly looked at her disciple sprawled on the ground, while reaching her hand out to untie Melinoe standing in front of a pillar.

[Pathways] are everywhere; her authority allowed her to easily cross any barrier and somewhat ignore distances.

Besides, as the goddess in charge of witchcraft, the matriarch of the Netherworld, this young fellow paled in comparison to her in both strength and cunning.

Trying to outsmart the Heavenly Formation was a bit too presumptuous.

“Click~!”

At the same time, a crisp metallic vibration sounded in front of Hecate.

By the time she came to her senses, she found a pair of shackles on her wrists, with the divine power inside her body feeling like stagnant, frozen springs, hard to mobilize.

“How about that, my acting was also pretty good, wasn’t it, teacher?”

The quietly presented ‘teacher’s gift’ from Melinoe, revealed a smug smile, celebrating the successful execution of the conspiracy.

At the same time, several magic circle diagrams lit up on the surrounding stone walls, and numerous chains slithered out like serpents, binding Hecate tightly between three circles within and three without, securely tied to a pillar.

“Well played, well played; I’ll have the Academy of Athens award you the Best Actress Award later.”

Luo En responded languidly from the ground, adjusting his creaking neck as he stood up, his gaze filled with silent resentment.

“But next time, remember to make your expression less rich and act faster.”

“You’ve got the nerve to say!”

Melinoe turned around, rubbing the barely hurting cut on her neck, glaring at her partner, and complaining indignantly.

“We said just to put on a show, and you really went for it!”

“To deceive others, first deceive yourself.”

Luo En answered uncompromisingly, his face showing no guilt.

“What we are dealing with used to be the Goddess of Conspiracy, your dear teacher. Being cautious is never wrong.”

Watching the bickering duo before her, Hecate realized she had been thoroughly tricked by her beloved disciple and grand-disciple.

“When did you two team up?” she asked, quite curious.

Hearing that familiar voice, Melinoe, who had just been shouting, instinctively shut her mouth and hid behind a certain “good brother,” firmly shielding him.

Obviously, Hecate had left quite a few scars in her young mind.

Look at your pitiful look!

Luo En lamented inwardly as he glanced at Melinoe dismissively before turning to look at Hecate tied to the pillar, answering with a faint smile.

“Since we were in the Underworld.”

“I might have underestimated that Underworld King and my own disciple.”

Hecate, having picked up the underlying message, looked at her disciple and grand-disciple in front of her with a measure of satisfaction.

“You did well; even I was fooled. Congratulations on successfully completing your apprenticeship.”

Luo En disregarded the praise, his smile ambiguous as he focused on the restless wrists behind the pillar, speaking hauntingly.

“Don’t waste your efforts; this pair of shackles was specially prepared for you; escaping won’t be so easy.”

His ploys to stall for time and divert attention fully seen through, Hecate, repeatedly struggling in vain, felt very deflated and somewhat resignedly lowered her somewhat swollen wrists, looking resentfully at Melinoe nearby.

“To think I wanted to save you, yet you ended up stabbing me in the back; all my trust in you as a teacher was in vain.”

Her own “Pathway” authority, capable of offense and defense, would have prevented any closeness if not for insider information, even if the young rascal before her wanted to set a trap.

Clearly, before coming to War God Mountain, the secrets she bore had been thoroughly exposed.
