Chapter 582 Smart choice!
Loki's way of eating was quite crude, devouring the food voraciously as if he had been starving for a long time.
William was more about tasting the flavors, whereas Loki, with every bite of meat, would intensely circulate the energy throughout his body to enhance the function of his internal organs and even the strength of every cell, hoping to quickly absorb the power contained within the dragon meat.
"How's the taste, Loki?" William observed Loki, noting importantly that Loki did not show any signs of fear in his presence.
"Very good!" Loki finally paused, looking up at William with eyes full of confusion and a hint of respect.
"Have some soup too!" William brought out a large soup pot, poured out the phoenix meat and broth that had been stewed in the Celestial Furnace, and took out two sets of utensils. Sitting down, he tasted some and commented, "The flavor is not bad."
Over the years, Loki had seen quite a few grand scenes and was no longer just the frivolous youth who played pranks in Asgard.
After eating the dragon meat and drinking the soup made from phoenix meat, his injuries had healed, and his power level even showed signs of breakthrough.
William nodded in satisfaction and said, "In a while, someone will come to find you. You'll leave with her for a journey, and then... let her ensure your safety."
"..." Loki was stunned at the moment and said, "Some time ago, God told me to follow a missionary, preaching all the way until we reach the Sanctum of the Holy Light. Are you talking about that missionary?"
William replied, "I'm talking about a woman. As for what the God said... do you think you should listen to me or to him?"
Loki's face broke into a sly smile: "I'll listen to you!"
"Smart choice!" William patted Loki on the shoulder approvingly.
Facing William's gesture, Loki did not resist. He could tell that this person was definitely more powerful than the God.
"Alright, enjoy your meal. I'll be going now. Stay here and take care. If anyone bullies you, let me know," William said and then, looking at the Primordial Dragon Lords, added with a smile, "Thanks for the hospitality. I'll visit again soon. Farewell."
"Safe travels." The Primordial Dragon Lords, trying to hold back tears, nodded continuously, "Mr. Johnson, I'll definitely take good care of Loki."
It was clear to it now that Loki had a significant background.
After William left, the Primordial Dragon Lords, trying to ingratiate itself, approached Loki and said, "Loki, the past misunderstandings are all behind us. If you had mentioned your close relationship with Mr. Johnson earlier, who would dare to bully you here!"
Loki wasn't upset,instead, he asked, "How powerful is this Mr. Johnson?"
"You're asking...," the Primordial Dragon Lords pondered for a moment before saying, "He's the most powerful kind. Let me put it this way, the God Mr. Johnson mentioned earlier, in my view, is just so-so. Would he dare to enter here? He wouldn't!"
"As far as I know, the so-called Olympian gods are nothing in front of Mr. Johnson," the Primordial Dragon Lords said with a bit of excitement when talking about William, "I've lived a long time, and back in the day, Mr. Johnson was a legend among us mythical beasts. In short, whoever Mr. Johnson wants to eat, they have to stand there obediently. Look at me and that deceased phoenix; we're considered the sensible ones..."
Loki inquired, "Were there any that weren't sensible?"
The Primordial Dragon Lords, trying to get on Loki's good side, laughed, "Of course, there were some who didn't know any better, but without exception, they all ended up dying in rather ugly ways. Look at me and this phoenix,at least we can continue living with dignity."
"Indeed, quite dignified," Loki agreed, finding the two to be quite dignified.
Unlike others, Loki felt that William gave off a very amiable vibe.
...
After meeting Loki, William didn't concern himself with much else and left the Heavenly Dungeon directly.
As he was leaving, he happened to meet Rhadamanthus, one of the three great guardians of Hades.
The two made eye contact.
Rhadamanthus looked at William, opened his mouth to speak, and asked, "Who are you? I haven't seen you before!"
William smiled, "You haven't."
Rhadamanthus bowed to William, saying, "Did you just come from the Heavenly Dungeon? Is there anything I can do for you?"
William was amused; this young man seemed quite sensible.
"Who's your master?" William sized up Rhadamanthus, who was at the Creator Deity level, not too weak. Considering he didn't realize William's power level, his attitude wasn't bad.
Rhadamanthus, bowing without raising his head, said, "I am Rhadamanthus, one of the three great guardians of the underworld under Hades."
"Hades' man, not bad!" William thought for a moment. His team was precisely lacking a humble and honest person. He didn't feel like looking for anyone else, so he asked, "Would you be willing to become stronger even if it means becoming bald?"
"..." Rhadamanthus was confused and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
William said, "I'm now forming a team and am short of one person. But actually, it doesn't really matter whether you join or not. After completing that journey, I'll give you some benefits, but those few hairs on your head will have to go."
"..." Rhadamanthus asked, "What does this have to do with the hair on my head?"
"It's not really related. Consider it a personal quirk of mine, altering your appearance to make it harder for others to recognize you," William said, looking calmly at Rhadamanthus.
Rhadamanthus slightly raised his head, saying, "I'm willing, but I must inform my master Hades first."
With a raise of William's hand, space twisted, and a long-haired man in a black robe suddenly appeared before them.
"Who's this?" Hades, who was having breakfast, felt the spatial disturbance, became furious, and was about to explode.
"Hmm? Oh..." Hades paused for a moment, then suddenly lunged at William.
William kicked him away for hundreds of yards.
Rhadamanthus swallowed hard, shouting, "Lord Hades... What is this...?"
Hades actually started crying, crawling to William's feet, shouting, "Master! Where have you been all these years?"
"..." Rhadamanthus was speechless. Was this really his master Hades?
Even in front of Zeus, he had an attitude of not caring at all, but now he's crying like a silly dog...
"Don't you know?" William raised an eyebrow, "Stop crying, or I'll kick you to the end of the universe!"
"I won't cry anymore! I won't!" Hades hurriedly said, "Master, are you planning to stay in the Divine Realm?"
"For a while," William shifted the topic to the trembling Rhadamanthus, saying, "Is this one of your guardians?"
Hades glared at Rhadamanthus, saying, "You little rascal, did you anger my master Mr. Johnson? Kneel down and apologize now!"
Rhadamanthus was terrified. What was going on?
Did Lord Hades have a master?
He was unaware.
William waved his hand, saying, "Don't make a fuss. I'm just borrowing him. He'll be with me from now on."
"Ah?" Hades exclaimed, "How is this little guy worthy? Master, wouldn't it be better if I served by your side?"
William narrowed his eyes, "I don't recall ever taking you as my disciple. Do you think I'm old and forgetful?"
"I thought there was!" Hades looked shocked, saying, "When we three brothers were young... Master, you can't be joking with me!"
Seeing his shameless act, William really wanted to kick him again, but then casually said, "Let's assume that's the case, but you cannot spread this around!" William did not want too many people disturbing his life because of this.
Then, casually pulling out a Seven Treasures Staff from his spatial storage ring, he said, "This is for you."
