Chapter 457 Mr. Johnson, may I hit back?
Ares also noticed the state of the two Divine Realm messengers.
Ha!
Weren't they looking for a fight?
These guys couldn't even use their divine power, how were they supposed to fight him?
And they were saying there was no need to change locations?
Just a moment ago, one of them was talking about killing him and then leaving his soul to make a choice about going to the Divine Realm.
Wasn't that just coercing him?
Go on with it now!
Coerce him!
Weren't they so arrogant just a while ago?
"Are we still fighting, gentlemen?" Ares's gaze was icy as he stared at the two Divine Realm messengers.
The two were completely dumbfounded. What was there to fight about now!
If Ares decided to kill them now, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
Ares could guess that all of this was because of William.
If he attacked now, he could easily kill these two Divine Realm messengers.
But what after that?
It seemed William didn't like others fighting in his house...
Before Astraeus left, he had repeatedly instructed Ares not to anger William and to try to stay close to him if possible.
If he killed these two Divine Realm messengers now, would William get angry?
He was finding William more and more unfathomable.
Divine Realm messengers might not be too strong, but they were definitely not weak. William appeared to do nothing, yet he rendered them unable to muster even a sliver of their power.
Didn't this mean that William was many times stronger than these two?
Ares thought clearly, although William hadn't made a move, the current situation was even more terrifying than if he had!
"What fight?" The Divine Realm messenger, who had just been fierce, now put on a flattering smile, looking at Ares and saying, "Ares, don't misunderstand. We came to you purely wanting to help. The benefits of reaching the Divine Realm in a soul state are innumerable. But I believe, with your talent, even without going to the Divine Realm, you would be invincible in the world..."
Ares hadn't expected this Divine Realm messenger to change his attitude so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had done a complete 180,one moment he was threatening to kill him, and now he was flattering him.
Such shamelessness was hard to believe for someone who was supposedly a messenger from the Divine Realm!
"Since you two don't want to fight, then please leave!" Ares gave them a dismissive look. He didn't dare to kill these two Divine Realm messengers in William's house.
Better to let them leave now and find an opportunity to deal with them later!
"Respected Chairman Ares, we shall take our leave. We apologize for any disturbance," they said.
The Divine Realm exemplifies the rule of the survival of the fittest to the extreme. Now, being public officials in the Divine Realm, they have long mastered the art of opportunism to perfection.
"What a letdown, they're just leaving like that?" Erebus shrugged, scooping up a bite of watermelon, somewhat disappointed.
They came in so arrogantly, and now without even a fight, they were backing down so easily. It really was uninteresting!
Erebus had never taken these two seriously, and his voice was loud enough to be clearly mocking them, not bothering to hide it at all.
He was almost outright insulting them as trash.
"Respected Chairman Ares, what is your relationship with this child?" The fierce-looking Divine Realm messenger looked very displeased. After all, he represented the Divine Realm.
What's with people nowadays?
No respect for the messengers of the Divine Realm?
Ares, following the man's gaze to Erebus, also smiled indifferently, "Don't know him, why?"
Was this guy thinking of laying a hand on a child in William's house?
Clearly a death wish.
"So you mean to say, you won't intervene, right?"
Ares raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, I won't intervene! Why should I?"
"That's good to know!" The Divine Realm messenger looked coldly at Erebus.
He had no inclination to protect a child. After becoming a god, in his eyes, ordinary humans were no different from gorillas or monkeys,he considered himself a higher being.
Now, a child had been insolent to him, and having faced a setback with Ares, he couldn't possibly swallow his pride anymore.
Although Ares could suppress them, he hadn't acted yet, likely out of fear for the Divine Realm.
Even if he killed one or two ordinary people in front of Ares, he probably wouldn't turn against him.
Ares, hearing this, became another spectator.
Every dog has his day?
Just a while ago, Erebus and Luna, as bystanders, hadn't experienced what Ares was feeling.
Ares was more than happy to be an observer.
The Divine Realm messenger looked deeply at Ares, waiting for him to lift the suppression.
The room fell silent, with no one speaking.
The Divine Realm messenger gestured subtly at Ares.
Ares responded by blinking at him.
"Ares, since you won't intervene... then... um-hmm?"
"Um-hmm?" Ares quickly recovered his senses and smiled, "I haven't done anything, please, go ahead."
The Divine Realm messenger's face turned red with frustration. What did that mean?
Was Ares looking forward to seeing him humiliated?
But he was a deity, after all. Even without his divine power, dealing with a child shouldn't be a problem!
His physical strength was enough to instantly kill any ordinary human!
The next moment, the Divine Realm messenger gritted his teeth, flashed in front of Erebus, and raised his hand to slap the impudent child.
It had to be said, being a Divine Realm messenger, he moved so fast that even Zoey didn't have time to react.
Erebus's eyes sparkled fiercely. In the void of the underworld, he was a little demon prince who did as he pleased. If someone provoked him in his regular days, he would annihilate them without a second thought.
These days, staying by William's side had been stifling for him, dealing with chores like cleaning up and being bullied by Luna from time to time. Where was the flavor of the little demon prince from before?
And now someone wanted to slap his face?
A Mortal Deity?!
Erebus still sneaked a glance at William, contemplating in his mind...
If this guy hadn't made a move yet, and he killed him, would William get angry?
He was uncertain, his little brain ticking over.
So...
Wait until after getting slapped and then ask?
At least if he got slapped, he definitely had to slap back!
Erebus simply sat there, motionless, waiting for the man's slap to land.
"Slap!"
The slap landed solidly on Erebus's face.
However, when the slap came down, Erebus's head didn't even move an inch.
For a Mortal Deity, even using all his divine power to slap him, wasn't it just like scratching an itch?
Erebus just sat there, having taken a slap, and then nonchalantly looked at William, his eyes sparkling, and crisply asked, "Mr. Johnson, may I hit back?"
William slightly lifted his eyelids and said, "He hit you, so of course, you can retaliate."
