Chapter 122: No Name Takes the First Step Toward Revival

No Name headquarters.

In the guest room of the annex, Black Rabbit wore a look of joy as she listened to Su Nian finish explaining the sequence of events.

"So, the current No Name has already established an alliance with Perseus, and it's even under our leadership?"

"You could say that, though even if the alliance treaty is signed, the new alliance flag is still a problem."

Leticia sighed helplessly as she spoke, though her gaze couldn't help but linger on Su Nian.

She was very curious about what exactly Su Nian had done to make Perseus agree to sign such a treaty.

In fact, she had long been prepared for a tug-of-war with Perseus.

But for some reason, the original treaty wasn't even enough; Perseus had even taken the initiative to cut off a piece of their own flesh.

And with such a big commotion, how could there still be no reaction from Athena's side?

Perseus was, after all, a Community under Athena.

Even for Leticia, having lived for so many years, she had never seen such a bizarre maneuver of someone cutting their own flesh to feed others.

Surely you aren't also learning from the Buddha, cutting your flesh to feed the eagle?

"We can't really use a white flag as our banner, can we?"

"That is true, indeed."

Black Rabbit returned from her excitement and shook Su Nian's arm in agitation.

"Su Nian, I'm counting on you! Hurry up and think of a flag!"

"Stop shaking me. The flag already exists; we can just use the one from my Community."

Su Nian reminded Black Rabbit, who had been so overwhelmed by this sudden excitement that she had even forgotten this.

However, Su Nian stroked his chin and pondered.

Could this be considered, in a sense, a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest?

Living in Arcadia, using Arcadia's connections, commanding Arcadia's talents, and then paving the way for his own development?

"That is also true."

Black Rabbit had sobered up, but the smile on her face, brought on by No Name taking its first step toward revival, did not fade.

"But, Master, regarding the signing of this kind of treaty, is there really no problem with Goddess Athena?"

Leticia was still a bit worried; this was the most uncomfortable part of having no background in Little Garden.

After all, even if one's own side held an absolute advantage, and even if the other party was in the wrong first, one still had to consider who was standing behind them.

Arcadia in its prime would naturally have nothing to fear, but now, No Name, which didn't even have a name, would have no ability to resist if faced with a challenge from Athena.

"Rest assured, there is no problem."

After all, Athena had already given him the Perseus flag; it was no different from Athena packaging that Community and giving it to him as well.

For a Community, a flag is equivalent to various certificates, proof of qualification, and a combination of official seals, documents, assets, and even credit.

It is proof of influence; as long as one holds the flag, one can completely say they hold all the assets, property, and influence of that Community, excluding the personnel.

So for Su Nian, the treaty signed was nothing more than a transfer from the left hand to the right.

Where it was didn't make a difference to Su Nian.

Hmm... there was a difference; at the very least, Perseus had no beautiful girls other than Aishiliya, who had already defected—it was all just various burly men.

So Su Nian was more willing to help No Name develop.

"But speaking of Aishiliya, how is her situation? Has it been investigated clearly?"

After hesitating for a moment, Leticia asked Su Nian.

Although she was very reluctant to bring it up, back when Arcadia was still around, she had served as Aishiliya's teacher for a period of time.

She and Aishiliya shared a bond of sorts, which was also the reason why Aishiliya had wanted to bid for Leticia even without Su Nian's involvement.

Before Su Nian left those few days ago, Aishiliya had once sought out Leticia to form an alliance.

But who would have known that such a thing would happen, and Aishiliya would fall to become a Demon King.

"I have indeed inquired about that clearly."

Su Nian nodded and said; it was only after asking Lu'aos that Su Nian understood what exactly was going on.

Of course, this also involved Athena's tacit approval and orders; otherwise, why would Aishiliya, who held both real power and strength, be betrayed by Perseus?

What right did those old things who only knew how to bark have to influence Aishiliya? Cutting off their dog food for a few days would have made them obedient.

This was merely Athena and Aishiliya going with the flow, allowing Aishiliya to fall and become a Demon King in a justified manner.

However, by the time Su Nian arrived at Perseus, those few people had already been dealt with by Athena; although it was going with the flow, those people certainly deserved to die.

After briefly explaining Aishiliya's situation to Leticia.

"It just feels like a curse..."

Leticia said with a complex expression.

The Little Garden Knights, with the Vampire as their core, had perished in an internal rebellion back then.

And now, the disciple she had taught had also encountered internal strife.

It was as if knights were cursed to inevitably be crushed by internal enemies.

Even if the injustice had been washed away, they could never return to the way things were before.

At this moment, Su Nian tapped the tabletop with his index finger and said calmly.

"Leticia?"

"Yes!"

Leticia was dazed for two seconds before she hurriedly responded.

"Leticia, don't overthink it; there is more to this than you think."

Su Nian glanced at Leticia, not blaming her for anything, and said directly.

After all, this was Athena's arrangement, and Su Nian could not reveal anything, even though he knew Leticia and the others would not leak others' secrets.

However, walls have ears, and speaking it out meant there was a possibility of a leak.

Some things are better left understood through tacit agreement.

Leticia was naturally no fool; she also understood what Su Nian meant.

She felt much more relaxed and perked up from her pessimism.

——

The next day, still in the living room.

Shiroyasha looked at Su Nian, peering left and right as if she had seen some strange, rare animal.

"I say, Boss, what are you looking at? Looking at a monkey?"

But when the word "monkey" was mentioned, Jialing glared at Su Nian unhappily; don't insult monkeys.

Her eldest sister Sun Wukong is a monkey!

Don't think about comparing yourself to a monkey.

"Tsk tsk tsk, tell Boss here, when did you and that Aishiliya get together?"

Shiroyasha asked curiously with a lecherous grin, wrapping her arms around Su Nian's neck.

She wasn't actually curious about Su Nian's romantic history; she was curious because Su Nian had met Aishiliya fewer than two times in total.

So how did Su Nian win Aishiliya over?

"......"

Su Nian looked at Shiroyasha expressionlessly, remaining silent.

As for his relationship with Aishiliya, aren't you, Shiroyasha, the one who knows it best? When Su Nian met Aishiliya.

You were an eyewitness on the scene!

"Ahem."

Shiroyasha felt a bit helpless under Su Nian's gaze, coughed twice, and after clearing her throat.

She took a newspaper out of her sleeve and spread it on the table.

《Heart-wrenching: He stormed Perseus, not hesitating to become an enemy of the Goddess Athena, all just for her? 》

《Shocking: There is actually such a dark secret inside Perseus! 》

《Come back, Aishiliya! There is no going back now. 》

·····

"？？？？？"

Su Nian looked at this newspaper, which had truly inherited the essence of the "Shock Department," with a bewildered expression, then looked at Shiroyasha.

"Boss, what is this?"

"Your tabloid."

Shiroyasha looked at Su Nian while suppressing her laughter; if she hadn't undergone professional training, she wouldn't have been able to hold it in.

"Hahahaha."

Alright, she couldn't hold it in anymore, or rather, Shiroyasha had been holding it in for so long just to come here and watch Su Nian's misery.

"So, what exactly did you do at Perseus yesterday to have a newspaper like this spread?"

"...... I just went to see Athena, that's all."

Su Nian said after a moment of silence; what kind of nonsense is this? He didn't expect that he still couldn't avoid having his reputation ruined.

"And then to clear Aishiliya's name?"

Jialing couldn't help but question Su Nian; Su Nian was her fiancé, after all.

But now, the result was that her fiancé was involved in a scandal with someone else.

How was she supposed to look at this?

However, she also knew about Lu'aos coming to ask for help.

But why did things turn out like this?

Jialing was extremely puzzled; was Su Nian really that popular?

"That's not it; this was just Athena leading me there while she was at it. I don't understand Athena's intentions either."

Su Nian scratched his head in agony; he couldn't figure it out at all. Weren't his negotiations with Athena quite pleasant?

But how could things evolve into this?

"Oh, then I probably understand. This is Athena helping you build momentum."

Shiroyasha shrugged her shoulders and said.

After all, if a Community wants to grow, influence is a very important part, whether it is the influence of the Community or the influence of its leader.

Although many people know Su Nian now, those are all high-level figures among the Gods and Buddhas. Su Nian's popularity in the lower levels is not even as high as Lu'aos'.

And the fastest way to increase popularity is through tabloid news. As long as it is shocking and explosive enough, Su Nian could become famous overnight.

Along the way, it paves the way for Aishiliya's return and establishes a "devoted" persona for Su Nian.

Overnight, Su Nian went from being unknown to becoming a household name.

"I would rather not have this kind of momentum......"

Why didn't Athena say anything to him? Su Nian had an expression like he was constipated.

Especially now that even Jialing was starting to lose her composure.

"But it's also possible it wasn't Athena. After all, the name of this newspaper is 【Garden Spring Newspaper】. I remember this seems to be a newspaper published by a Community under the Halloween Queen."

Shiroyasha patted Su Nian's shoulder sympathetically; it would be even better if she could suppress the laughter she couldn't hold back on her face.

"Damn it!"

Su Nian looked up at the sky helplessly.
