Chapter 436 - Yes, this is going to be a lot of fun! (Patreon)

As soon as we arrived near the Ikelos Familia's home, Milan stopped walking and looked at me.

"I'm not sure if I'm ready for this. Please wait a little."

Hearing her words, I let out a long sigh and opened my mouth.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm here. Nothing will happen to you."

"Even so..."

"Are you worried about the people you know in the Ikelos Familia? Are you afraid I'll end up killing them? I won't do anything like that, so don't worry."

I had said things like "destroy the Ikelos Familia," but I certainly wasn't going to kill everyone. I would only go that far if it became absolutely necessary.

Milan listened to my words and said, "Yes, I'm worried about that. You won't do that, will you?"

"I already told you I won't. Come on, let's go. Everything will be fine. I won't let anyone lay a finger on you, either."

"..." Milan fell silent for a few seconds. Then she said, "All right. Follow me."

She quickened her pace, and I followed her. We began walking through several alleys that felt like a maze. We were in the poorest part of Orario, an area with very little security. Milan told me that the Ganesha Familia rarely patrolled this region.

She also explained that, besides the Ikelos Familia, many Familias from the "underworld" had their homes in this area.

'This isn't a place I'd normally visit.'

Eventually, we arrived at the Ikelos Familia's home.

"It's a very... ordinary-looking building," I said.

"The Ikelos Familia isn't wealthy, even though it has quite a few members. Only the most important members live in this building. Many of them live elsewhere."

"You used to live here?"

"Yes..."

"I see."

They must have valued Milan. Well, she was young and strong, with tremendous talent.

As I approached the entrance, I noticed a couple of guards. Keeping my hands in my pockets and remaining perfectly calm, I said, "I've come to see the god Ikelos. Take me to him."

As soon as the two men heard my words, they burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Did you hear that? He wants us to take him to Lord Ikelos! Hahahaha!"

"Who the hell does this guy think he is? Hahahahaha!"

Apparently, they didn't know who I was. Well, they weren't obligated to know me.

"I'm being completely serious here. Take me to him. I need to talk to him about this girl."

I pointed at Milan, who was standing right behind me.

The men recognized her.

"Milan? What are you doing with him? Weren't you supposed to be dead?"

"Yeah, I heard a member of the Hestia Familia killed her."

"I'm the Hestia Familia member you heard about. I didn't kill her. I took her for myself," I said calmly.

Milan heard those words and exclaimed, "Hey!"

"Hm? Did I say something wrong?"

"Did you hear that? He said he took Milan for himself. This guy's crazy! Hahaha!"

"Milan, the god was quite upset when he heard about your death," the man said with a smile. "You should go inside and talk to him. I'm sure he'll be very happy to see you."

Milan listened to his words and took a step backward.

"Milan will only go inside if I'm going with her."

I stepped forward, approaching the two men.

They grabbed the hilts of their swords.

"Hey, don't come any closer unless you want to die."

"Don't blame me if you end up losing a hand."

Still keeping my hands in my pockets, I stopped about a meter away from them. Then I stomped my foot against the ground to startle them. The men drew their swords simultaneously and swung them forcefully at me.

'They're fast,' I remarked.

"Luan!" Milan shouted in alarm.

However, when the men's swords struck my skin, they didn't cut me. It was as though both blades had struck a metal wall.

"What!?"

"This is insane!"

The men's eyes widened, and then I moved. I grabbed both men's heads and slammed them together. Of course, I didn't use all my strength. Even so, it was enough to knock them unconscious.

'I hope they don't die.'

I tossed the men aside and put my hands back in my pockets.

Looking over my shoulder, I said to Milan, "Let's go."

Then I kicked the front door off its hinges, sending it flying.

"Where's the god Ikelos? I need to have a little chat with him!" I shouted with a smile on my face.

'Yeah, this is going to be fun!'

POV: Milan

I couldn't even see the movement Luan made. The only thing I saw was the bodies of the two guards being thrown aside like rag dolls. Before I could even react, Luan kicked the door to the Familia's home.

The door flew a long distance, hitting people along the way.

As screams erupted from inside, Luan shouted, "Where's the god Ikelos? I need to have a little chat with him!"

'He's completely insane...' I thought.

I watched as Luan calmly walked through the main hall.

"What's going on!?"

"Who the hell is this guy!?"

"Get him!"

Members of the Familia began shouting and attacking him from every direction, but Luan acted as though nothing serious was happening. Whenever a Familia member approached him, they went flying, already unconscious.

They couldn't even touch Luan. His strength was on a completely different level.

Watching this sent chills down my spine.

In less than three minutes, the main hall was empty and silent.

Bodies were scattered everywhere.

I approached Luan from behind and asked, "Are they dead?"

"Don't worry. They're just unconscious. I told you I wouldn't kill anyone. So, where's the god Ikelos's room?"

"On the second floor. More of them are coming!" I said.

More Familia members began appearing.

Many of them were people who knew me.

"He's with Milan!"

"Protect her! She's in danger!"

'Idiots...' I thought.

Within seconds, they were all unconscious.

'Thank goodness I never tried to fight him...'

I began to break out in a cold sweat.

This was all completely insane.
