Chapter 183: Zeus Vs Valter - Part 1
It was early afternoon, and Cristina was playing with her friend Alice and her "dog" Zeus.
Even for Alice, who was considerably stronger than ordinary people, she could not tell the difference and did not imagine that in fact, Zeus was a black panther. In addition, Zeus' Qi was being restricted, that is, it did not emit a dangerous aura.
"Girls, don't stray off the grounds. Currently we don't know when something dangerous might happen." Arlinda, Alice's mother, explicitly warned when she noticed that the two were very close to the gate.
"I did say that she would notice," Alice turned to Cristina and said.
"Yes, you did," Cristina laughed.
The two were not trying to leave; they were just going near the gate because Alice bet that if they did, her mother would notice and call them back.
"Don't worry, Ms. Arlinda. We won't let anything bad happen to Miss Alice," Pamela Gomes said with a reassuring smile.
She was wearing a gray suit and gray pants. She preferred pants over a skirt, as they did not prevent making various movements if necessary.
In addition to Paloma, Bruno Campos was also there. He had a more serious expression than usual. After all, they were watching after the sister of the great Chief; he was even more afraid of Luan than Elias. If something were to happen to her while he and Paloma supervised, he wouldn't even know what kind of torture they would have to endure.
"Hey, Cristina..." Alice looked strangely uneasy and hesitant. "You know… Well, I mean... mhm..."
"Do you want to ask about my Big Brother, yes?" Cristina guessed.
"Yes, that's right." Alice forced a smile and explained, "I just don't want you to get me wrong and think that I approached you because of him. Although I like Luan very much as a fan, I don't want you to think that I'm your friend because of that."
"I know," Cristina smiled, "I'm sensitive to people who don't like me."
This was something she had picked up from all the years she spent being hated. It was easy for her to see through someone else's animosity, as she had felt it all her life.
Alice sighed in relief and said, "That is good."
"Now, what exactly do you want to know?" Cristina asked.
"Nothing very significant. Just if you could tell me a little bit about him, for example: is he always so indifferent, even at home? In fact, his girlfriend is beautiful. Have they been together for a long time? And is he affectionate to her?" Alice asked enthusiastically.
"At home he is not the same as he is outside. In general, he does not treat us indifferently, and is very kind. It was thanks to him that I was adopted by my mother. As for his girlfriend, Ingrid, they have been together for a few months and love each other a lot, and he is very careful and loving with her. They often kiss in front of us." Cristina blushed a little.
"Oh! This is unexpected!" Alice clapped her hands, as if discovering a new world. She couldn't believe that the indifferent and sexy Luan Dimas was so different at home.
"Haha! Here you are!" From the sky, a man floated in the air and descended in front of Cristina and Alice. Zeus was right behind the two.
The man appeared to be in middle age, and with a wicked smile. He looked directly at Cristina. "Young lady, you need to come with me."
Cristina blinked her big, beautiful eyes and looked at him confused. "Hmm?"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly; his fox eyes examining her from top to bottom before slamming his fist into his palm. "You are the adopted daughter of Maira Dimas, am I right?"
Cristina froze in place. Her grip tightened as she pursed her lips slightly, without answering his question.
The man did not stop probing her, however, he approached with a somewhat mocking smile. "As an adopted daughter, why did you agree to join the Dimas family? To fight with the daughter and legitimate son for the inheritance? No? Well, even if you couldn't do that, you would be able to get a useful pile of money out of nowhere to live a safe and secure life, right?"
Cristina's traumas came back a little, but she felt safer when she saw Zeus go in front of her and Alice, protecting her while showing his teeth.
Cristina took a deep breath and studied the man in front of her. She thought calmly, despite something gnawing at her deep down in her heart. As much as she denied what she heard, it was hard not to be shaken. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Instead of saying that I want the inheritance from my mother and brothers, wouldn't it be more likely to say that you want it, yes, Saulo Becker?"
"Oho! I didn't expect that a small, insignificant bastard girl would recognize me so easily." Saulo did not seem irritated at first, however, a perverse expression curved his lips and eyebrows in the form of swords. "Trash insignificant, know your place! Unlike garbage like you who is just an adopted daughter, I am the real grandfather of Luan and Catharina Dimas, I have rights!"
With a shout when he finished speaking, Saulo advanced towards Cristina.
"Miss Cristina!" Paloma and Bruno shouted and ran to help.
However, Saulo's Qi was very strong, which made them both fall on their knees on the floor. He even forced Arlinda, who was farther, to kneel, not to mention Alice, who fell forward and vomited blood.
Cristina, although fairing a little better, was going pale as the dense Qi full of murderous intent surrounded her. However, soon she felt better. Zeus' Qi surrounded her and protected her.
*ROARRR!*
The roar was more fierce than that of an ordinary panther. Zeus's sharp teeth gleamed and dripped with drool, full of thirst.
"What?" Saulo was surprised. He was forced to take a few steps back and stood looking at Zeus with his cautious eyes.
Zeus' Qi made him tremble for an instant, but Saulo forced himself to remain calm while looking in amazement at the "dog" in front of him.
