Chapter 430 - I am not afraid to kill a God. (Patreon)

I slowly approached the woman and her two companions. My anger grew stronger as I got closer. The image of Bella with tears in her eyes was stuck in my mind. I couldn't forgive myself for letting this happen to her.

She wasn't one of my women, but she was a precious friend and my colleague. Besides that, she was a hardworking, kind, and very pleasant girl to be around. She was an incredible woman.

It was strange to think that about a woman who had originally been a man in the original story, but it was the truth.

"Calm down," Lina said, looking into my eyes. She lowered her sword and said, "I apologize for everything I did. I'm truly sorry. I only wanted a little money. I didn't want to hurt her."

Hearing Lina's words, the woman standing beside her stepped forward. "You saw her, didn't you? She's not injured. We didn't do anything to her. We didn't even tie her up. We only asked her to stay in the room!"

The woman was desperate.

"Do you think that makes the situation any better?" I asked her.

"Of course it does! We didn't hurt your girlfriend, did we? You have no reason to hurt us since we didn't do anything to her!"

Hearing the woman's words only made me angrier. Lina raised her hand and said, "Be quiet, you idiot. Just apologize. Don't make excuses." Lina lowered her head again and said,

"I'm sorry."

I sighed and said, "You may not have physically hurt her, but what about her mind? Do you have any idea how fragile Bella is? Do you have any idea what kind of trauma you could have caused her?"

"..." Lina said nothing.

I was standing right in front of her, so I grabbed her chin and forced her to look into my eyes.

She stared at me coldly. Even though she was apologizing, she didn't actually regret what she had done, and I could feel it. I released her chin and asked, "Which Familia are you a part of?"

"Ikelos Familia."

Hearing Lina's words, I was surprised. There was someone like her in that Familia? I didn't even know that Familia was still active. It wasn't a large Familia, but it certainly liked causing a lot of trouble.

Especially when it came to the Xenos.

"You're part of the Ikelos Familia? That's surprising." And she wasn't lying to me. If she were, I would know because of my [Eye of Truth] ability.

"Yes, that's right."

"I can understand why you did this. A disgusting Familia full of trash," I said, looking coldly at Lina.

"I respect your opinion," she said with a mocking smile.

I instantly approached her and grabbed her face with my hand. In the next moment, the two of us appeared on top of the Tower of Babel.

I held her by the face at the edge of the tower. If I let go, she would fall several meters.

Unable to speak because of my hand and the pain she was feeling, Lina grabbed my wrist and began struggling, but I didn't even move. She was far too weak.

"Do you think I'm playing around with you?"

Hearing my question, Lina stopped moving.

"You keep smiling as if I'm joking around. You know I can blow your head off whenever I want, right? And not just yours. I can blow the heads off everyone in your Familia, even your God. And you know what? I don't mind killing a God."

Hearing my words, Lina's eyes widened.

I then threw her to the side, and she rolled across the ground.

She struggled to get back up and said, "Have you gone insane? How dare you say something like that?"

"That I have the courage to kill a God? I say it because I really do have the courage to do it, and I don't care about the consequences in the slightest. Who do you think I am?"

Lina realized that I was serious, and she looked frightened.

"I already apologized. What more do you want?"

"I wanted to tear off both your arms and legs and hang what remained of your body in the center of Orario," I said coldly, taking steps toward her.

Lina began backing away.

"But I won't do that."

I grabbed her instantly and teleported her back to where we had been before. Her two friends were still there. When they saw that Lina was completely terrified, both of them lowered their heads and apologized.

The three of them knelt in front of me, which made me feel somewhat uncomfortable.

My blood, which had been boiling moments ago, began to cool. My anger gradually subsided, and I started thinking a little more rationally.

I could kill all of them and teleport their bodies into the sea, but that would cause unnecessary problems. Ikelos would realize that members of his Familia had died and would go after whoever was responsible.

I wasn't interested in starting a war against a Familia right now.

My life was so peaceful.

Huff~~

I sighed and said, "All right, you can go. But know that I'm keeping an eye on you. If you try to do anything like this again, to anyone, you will die."

Considering which Familia they belonged to, I doubted they wouldn't do something similar in the future.

However, they nodded obediently.

Then I teleported myself to the house where I had left the girl and the man. However, when I arrived at the house, only the girl was waiting for me. The man had run away.

As soon as she saw me, the girl began trembling again.

She was terrified.

As soon as I approached her, I said, "Do you want to work for me?"

"What?" The girl was left speechless.
