Chapter 438 - Maid. (Patreon)

I smiled at Ikelos and then grabbed Milan by the arm. I pulled her along and said, “Then do it already. And don't try anything strange. If you do, I'll blow your head off in a second.”

I could tell that he trembled slightly.

He knew I wasn't bluffing.

“I don't care about the consequences of killing a God, so think carefully about what you're going to do.”

Ikelos closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. Then he looked at me and said,

“Fine, I'll do it. I'll get it done as quickly as I can. Once I'm finished, will you leave?”

“Yes. I won't do anything to you or your Familia. I had to put everyone to sleep because they were getting pretty impatient with my presence.”

I chuckled. Ikelos didn't find it funny.

In fact, I could feel his anger. He was furious.

And honestly, that made me happy. Seeing a God like him so irritated gave me an incredible sense of satisfaction.

Ikelos then began the process of removing Milan's Falna. As promised, he did everything quickly, and as soon as Milan was without a Falna, he said, “All right, it's done. You can leave now.”

“Before I go, I'd like to ask you a few questions.”

“...”

“What kind of work do you do? Do you go around ordering members of your Familia to kidnap random people for money? That's pretty disgusting.”

“I don't ask them to do that kind of thing. I even warned her not to get involved with you. I know you well. I'm not an idiot.”

“I see, so you tried to stop that woman from kidnapping Bella. I'm glad to hear that.”

I smiled at him before continuing.

“But you should have been able to stop her, shouldn't you? You're the God of this Familia.”

“...”

“You knew I'd come for revenge, so why didn't you stop her?”

“...”

“Idiot. You're lucky I'm not too angry. If I were really furious, this entire house would be wiped off the map. There wouldn't be anything left.”

I stared at Ikelos with a serious expression.

He knew I was being serious, and he looked visibly frightened.

Milan approached me and took my hand.

“Hey, let's just go already.”

“All right. I'm leaving now. I hope I don't see you again anytime soon. Don't try anything against the people around me, understood?”

Then I teleported back to the mansion with Milan.

As soon as we arrived, I turned to her with a smile on my face.

“That was fun, wasn't it?”

Unlike me, Milan was pale and breathing heavily. She was absolutely terrified.

POV: Third Person

As soon as Luan left his home, Ikelos sat down and took a deep breath.

“Monster.”

Someone then knocked on his bedroom door.

“Come in,” he said.

Lina entered, looking frightened.

The moment he saw her, Ikelos said, “This is all your fault.”

His tone made it clear that he was furious, and Lina could feel it. She had come to check whether he needed any help, but he wasn't injured.

Without thinking twice, Lina dropped to her knees and pressed her forehead against the floor.

“I'm sorry for everything I've caused. I didn't want any of this to happen. I just wanted a little money.”

“I warned you several times that getting involved with him was a bad idea. I told you he was powerful. You underestimated him,” Ikelos said, glaring at Lina with hatred.

Lina looked into Ikelos's eyes and said, “I'll accept any punishment. But once I've been punished, please let me leave the Familia.”

Hearing Lina's words only made Ikelos angrier.

However, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

“Fine,” he said. “Now go downstairs and help anyone who needs it. We need to clean up this mess.”

“Understood!”

Lina stood up with a serious expression and left Ikelos's room.

She walked down the corridors and soon found her two friends lying unconscious on the floor. Fortunately, they were alive, just like all the Familia members on the first floor.

After checking on everyone, Lina let out a sigh of relief.

“He didn't kill anyone. That surprises me.”

Lina had thought Luan would destroy the entire Ikelos Familia, but he hadn't done so.

“I have to thank him for that once I leave the Familia.”

After all, she had many friends there.

POV: Luan

Since Milan no longer belonged to a Familia, I spoke with Hestia, and she gave Milan her Falna without a second thought. Of course, that was only because I asked her to.

Once Milan officially became a member of the Hestia Familia, she approached me and bowed her head.

With a smile, she said, “Thank you for this. You really didn't have to do so much for me.”

“You don't need to thank me.”

“So, what should I do now?” Milan asked, looking at me uncertainly.

Hearing her question, I found myself at a loss for words.

I'd told her I was hiring her as a maid, but that would be… a waste. She was a talented adventurer, and she was already Level Three.

After staring at her for a few seconds, I said, “Just have fun.”

Hearing my words, she stared at me in disbelief.

Hestia, who was also in the room, looked at me in confusion.

“Didn't you tell me you were hiring me as a maid? I was asking what I should do first… Should I start cleaning, or should I prepare lunch?”

“Well, do whatever you want,” I said with a shrug.

“All right… I think I'll start by cleaning. There's a lot of dust around here,” Milan said with a smile.

For some reason, it seemed as though she'd worked as a maid before. She seemed… surprisingly enthusiastic.

With a sigh, I looked at Hestia.

“I hope her cooking is good,” Hestia said before heading upstairs.

I couldn't hold back and ended up laughing.
