Chapter 117: I Beg You, My Lord, to Clear the Name of Aishiliya!

That is true; for the time being, the relationship between Su Nian and Shiroyasha, as well as Su Nian's strength, are only known to the upper echelons.

And Lu'aos, whether in terms of strength or qualifications, could not possibly know his information.

Unless he paid a high price to purchase it from Thousand Eyes, or Aishiliya leaked it.

It's just... this poor child hasn't realized it at all, has he?

No wonder the other party is so brave.

You must know that even the Community that Su Nian casually founded previously to sell Magic Cards, Planeswalker,

is already considered to have five-digit influence in the assessment of Thousand Eyes.

After all, a one-time-use Storage Card for one thousand Thousand Eyes Gold Coins is simply too tempting, and the storage space is exceptionally large.

You must know that the fee for crossing a Boundary Gate once is also only one thousand Thousand Eyes Gold Coins.

Of course, this is for individuals; the price for Communities and Boundary Gates specifically for transporting goods is a different matter.

However, after returning from the Halloween Queen, Su Nian also specifically adjusted the production of the Storage Cards, erasing the elements of the world inside and modifying them into one-time-use space bubbles.

This was to avoid having his essence discovered again.

In any case, for Su Nian, who is already a four-digit, the consumption of manufacturing several hundred thousand of them at once is not very large.

As for the current No Name, they just haven't retrieved their flag yet.

Once the flag is retrieved, relying on Su Nian, Jialing, Leticia, and Black Rabbit, as well as Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka, the speed of advancement will definitely not be slow.

Although it won't return to the peak period of Arcadia, it is not difficult to compare to an average four-digit Community.

"Whether in terms of strength or status, you have no qualifications to speak to me like that!"

A trace of anger appeared on Su Nian's face; if it were a proper, sincere discussion about cooperation, then Su Nian would have let Leticia assist, and a real cooperation would have been fine.

But who gave you the courage to have this attitude of climbing up the nose and onto the face?

Having said that, Su Nian's aura was no longer concealed, and the pressure of a four-digit poured out in an instant.

Along with a trace of Su Nian's anger, and a trace of uncontrollable killing intent trained under Scathach, it directly enveloped Lu'aos.

In an instant, Lu'aos was suppressed and unable to move.

A four-digit can already be classified as an upper echelon, or a Main God; the number of four-digits in Little Garden is very small.

Even a Community like Avalon has only a dozen or so in total.

As for Lu'aos, he has only barely touched the edge of a five-digit.

"I'm sorry, my lord, it was I who offended you!"

Lu'aos did not have any hesitation and directly knelt on the ground to admit his mistake to Su Nian.

The speed was so fast and the attitude so sincere that it even made Su Nian feel caught off guard.

Su Nian twitched his mouth, speechless; even he didn't know what to say about this Lu'aos.

No, being this spineless actually makes him look unexpectedly petty?

How is he supposed to teach Lu'aos a lesson now?

"Forget it, get lost."

Su Nian also had no intention of continuing to waste time with Lu'aos and waved his hand casually.

Continuing to bicker with such a clown would make him look like he lacked stature, and if it got out, it would affect his reputation; it's not worth it, not worth it.

But Lu'aos still knelt there, without the slightest intention of moving.

"So, how long do you intend to keep kneeling?"

"I beg you, my lord, to clear the name of Leader Aishiliya!"

Lu'aos knelt on the ground and said very loudly and sincerely.

In fact, his aunt was wronged, and no one knew this better than he did.

Even the disappearance of the wealth and Gifts accumulated by Perseus over many years was due to his own mistakes, not Aishiliya embezzling them.

Because that would have no meaning; Aishiliya, as a student of Athena, was evaluated by Athena as a "Guardian Knight" and even brought Perseus, which was originally living off its past glory, to its peak single-handedly.

No one knew this strong, loyal aunt better than he did.

As for the matter of Perseus's Inheritance Gift being stolen? That was an even more groundless charge.

It was clearly that the elders of the clan, after using the Inheritance Gift, wanted to capture Aishiliya and were instead easily killed by her in seconds.

If Aishiliya hadn't already given the Demon Star to Su Nian, perhaps she would have been caught.

So they simply spread the rumor that Aishiliya had stolen all of Perseus's Inheritance Gifts.

But it was clearly the Sovereignty of Gene Editing Technology exchanged for the Demon Star, which even helped the High God Asclepius become a three-digit.

But why did it turn into her privately giving away the Demon Star to provide self-preservation power for her lover?

Su Nian:????????

As for that Gene Editing Sovereignty, it was also rumored that it was something they had spent a great deal of effort to successfully consolidate.

"Ah?? I have a part in this too?"

Su Nian looked at Lu'aos with a bewildered expression; no, this is your internal power struggle in Perseus, why drag me into it?

Including that time with Ouroboros, he had only met Aishiliya twice in total.

So, they are willing to lose all shame just to overthrow Aishiliya?

But why do you have to drag me into your internal disputes?

"Yes, my lord."

Lu'aos knelt on both knees, raised his head to look up at Su Nian, and said very humbly.

"They even said that Aishiliya, for your sake, even sold her charms to Shiroyasha, just to have you protected by Shiroyasha."

"Ah?"

Su Nian opened his mouth in shock; no, how did even Shiroyasha get dragged into this?

How did these rumors even originate?

But it is fortunate that they are only spreading within Perseus and haven't leaked out yet.

Is there really anyone who believes this kind of rumor? Even third-rate novels are more credible than this, right?

"This truly needs to be cleared up."

Su Nian's mouth couldn't help but twitch; if he didn't take care of it, heaven knows what kind of state his reputation would be ruined into.

Although he could leave it alone, the point is that Little Garden really does have those kinds of tabloid papers for entertainment gossip.

And they sell quite well and are quite cheap, and the content is actually quite interesting.

But no matter what, he really does not want to become the protagonist inside them.

He must deal with this quickly before the matter ferments.

Otherwise, given the value of Magic Star Algol, Su Nian believes that the people of Perseus would truly use this as a reason to manufacture rumors and find a way to reclaim Algol.

Wealth moves people's hearts, let alone such an incomparably powerful Gift.

He guessed that this was probably their scheme? To give themselves a justifiable excuse to take back Algol.

Su Nian had thought he might be drawn into a storm because of interests? Because of emotions? Or perhaps because he was forced into it.

But Su Nian truly never thought that his first official appearance on the stage of Little Garden would be because he had to protect his own reputation?

And there is another thing: in Little Garden, if rumors are spread enough and believed enough, they can actually become real.

There are Poets in Little Garden, after all.

Public opinion offensives can truly kill and Curse people.

Just look at Leticia's younger sister, Lamia; she was even Cursed down to a Three-digit level.

The entire Xuegui Yizu was Cursed into monsters.

"Luos Perseus thanks you here, my lord."

Only after hearing Su Nian's agreement did Lu'aos dare to stand up from the ground, bowing deeply to Su Nian to express his gratitude.

Although he knew Su Nian was not doing this out of feelings for Aishiliya, or out of an alliance with Perseus.

He was simply wanting to nip the potential trouble in the bud before it even happened.

After all, he felt that these rumors had reached an outrageous level just by listening to them.

But based on his knowledge of those old fogies in his clan, they really would do such a thing.

It's just that now it seems they are likely to kick an iron plate, since Su Nian's aura alone does not seem weaker than Aishiliya's.

He estimated that the whole of Perseus combined wouldn't be enough for Su Nian to fight alone.

Hmm, saying "alone" is still overestimating them; it should be said they aren't enough for him to fight with one hand.

Unless the ancestors who have already gone to Olympus take action.

"Then, regarding the matter of the alliance cooperation?"

Lu'aos also struck while the iron was hot, asking while Su Nian was still willing to listen to him.

Hiss~ This guy isn't as useless as he imagined.

Su Nian looked at Lu'aos with some surprise.

After all, Perseus's current situation is truly not good; Aishiliya, the leader who was the main combat force, has run off.

As for the Inheritance Gift, Magic Star Algol, which maintained their combat power and deterrence when they lacked a strong leader, it had long since been delivered into Su Nian's hands.

Which is to say, the current strength of Perseus is likely already weakened to a certain degree.

To the point where they can't even maintain their current status.

Su Nian seemed to remember that Perseus wasn't a Community that hosted games, nor was it a Community that cleared games.

In reality, Perseus, like the Pengluoke and Umbrella founded by Su Nian, are all production-oriented Communities.

And what Perseus excels at is forging Gifts; they even completed the mass production of the Invisible Helmet and Flying Leggings seventeen years ago.

As for other weapons and the like, there is no need to even mention them.

Moreover, Perseus was also bestowed with a Divine Tool by the artisan god Hephaestus.

Perhaps after digesting the manufacturing technology for Conceptual Mystic Code he obtained from the Moon World, a strange chemical reaction might occur.

"We can establish a cooperative relationship, but the cooperation must be led by us."

"Hmm... I'm not good at these things either; forget it, go discuss it with Leticia."

Su Nian scratched his head in quite some pain; the things he hated most were these messy affairs.

But fortunately, he can happily be a hands-off manager.

Leticia helps here, and Umbrella is managed by Aishiliya over there.

"Yes, Lord Su Nian."

Lu'aos nodded and, like a qualified lackey, went to find Leticia.

Su Nian is quite at ease with Leticia; one could say Su Nian has almost been raised into a useless person by Leticia.

There is a class in the afternoon, so I can't write.
