Chapter 29: Perseus Targeted

In the residence of Perseus, one of the member Communities of the Thousand Eyes Alliance and also one of the subordinate forces of the Goddess Athena in the lower layers.

A young girl with golden hair as brilliant as gold, resembling a lioness, sat in the main seat.

"What is our current financial situation? Is it still enough to bid for Leticia and her Divinity?"

Aixiliya Pashius, the current leader of Perseus.

She integrated the Community Perseus before the age of sixteen hundred and built it up into a Four-digit leader.

Even the first-generation descendants of the Divine Spirit Pashius held this wise and valiant leader in high regard.

Facing Aixiliya's inquiry, Lu'aos replied.

"Our current financial situation is stable, but we are likely still quite short of what is needed to bid for Leticia, who possesses Four-Digit Exceptional combat power."

After all, Perseus is not like the former Arcadia, not to mention that even Arcadia would have to bleed heavily to produce such a large sum of funds.

"And if we do bid for her, it might even affect the normal operations of the Community."

"Even if it is to win the favor of Shiroyasha, this price is far too high."

Lu'aos said with great displeasure, and besides, is a mere Four-digit Shiroyasha worth Perseus paying such a high price?

He did not believe that Lady Athena would fear Shiroyasha.

And isn't she just a Star Spirit? It is not as if their ancestor had not defeated one before; was the Demon Star Algol not sealed within the Inheritance Gift of Perseus and under their subjugation?

"Can we not just bid for Leticia, Lady Aixiliya?"

"Besides, Perseus is striving for the position of Layer Master, and we are at a critical juncture; if there is a problem with our funds now..."

"Then what will happen to the position of Layer Master?"

Aixiliya sighed, turned her head, and looked at Lu'aos with a calm gaze.

"Lu'aos, if a person only has eyes for the benefits right in front of them, what would he be?"

"What?"

Lu'aos was stunned for a moment, then said with a strange expression.

"He should be a qualified leader, right?"

"Is that what you think..."

Aixiliya sighed and said in a flat tone.

"In my view, he is nothing more than a beast in human skin."

"Forget it, take out all the Community's funds, and prepare to sell off useless Gifts to acquire capital."

"At all costs, bid for Leticia and her Divinity."

Facing Lu'aos, Aixiliya gave up on the idea of explaining; Lu'aos was too shortsighted.

"Lady Aixiliya..."

Lu'aos's expression was somewhat twisted, as if he still wanted to argue.

At this moment, Aixiliya slammed her hand onto the armrest of her chair and rebuked him angrily.

"Did you not hear my order?"

"Yes, Lady Aixiliya."

Watching Lu'aos leave, Aixiliya sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, when will they ever have some foresight."

If they had even a little foresight, relying on the Greek God Group and their relationship with the Goddess Athena, while also being a Cadre of Thousand Eyes, and with the remaining protection of their ancestor Pashius, they would not have fallen to the level of not even being a Four-digit Community.

But this is also an old problem with the bloodline of Demigod descendants; almost all of them inherit the character flaws of their ancestors.

Few Demigod descendants can compare to their ancestors; if it were not for the fact that their ancestors were still around, who knows what state they would be in.

——

On the other side, although he was very unhappy with his aunt, he would still listen to Aixiliya's orders.

After all, Aixiliya did not rise to her position through connections; under the patriarchal and male-chauvinistic worldview of Greece, Aixiliya had fought her way up step by step.

Even the ancestor Andromeda Pashius, if suppressed to the same level, might not necessarily be a match for Aixiliya.

Lu'aos arrived in the treasury of Perseus, looking at the brilliant treasures, gold coins, and Gifts within.

He did not even lift an eyelid, but he felt a bit of heartache.

These assets were ultimately meant for him to inherit, after all, he was the only male in the Pashius family.

After shaking his head helplessly, Lu'aos took out his Gift Card and aimed it at the treasures accumulated by Perseus over so many years of operation.

It was just that Lu'aos did not notice that two petite figures dressed in black robes had appeared beside him at some unknown time.

One was no taller than 1.5 meters, their whole body hidden under a black robe, with only parts of their hands and feet exposed.

And on those exposed hands and feet were thick muscles and dense hair, somewhat like an ape.

The other figure was even more petite, looking not much older than the children of No Name.

Only a strand of golden hair leaking from the cloak exposed her identity as a little girl.

"Great Sage, are you not going to act yet?"

That girl looked at the hesitant Great Sage and asked with some doubt; they had gone through great trouble to obtain the intelligence, and only then was it possible to acquire enough wealth to bid for Leticia's Divinity.

Although she felt a bit sorry for her aunt, in order to better establish herself in Ouroboros, and for the sake of her mother Lamia Decretia.

She had to bid for Leticia's Divinity.

Lamia Decretia II, the child of Lamia Decretia, Leticia's sister who had been missing for many years.

Because of her mother, she joined Ouroboros.

And the Great Sage was also a Demon King belonging to Ouroboros, a partner currently acting with her.

The younger brother of the Great Sage Sun Wukong, whose wish was for his sister to kill him to complete the trial and perfect her own Spirit Status; this was also his purpose for joining Ouroboros.

And his Spirit Status granted him the ability to be unseen by anyone other than children.

This is also the reason why they came together to steal the treasures of Perseus.

What they were waiting for was this very moment, waiting for Lu'aos to open the treasury to seize the wealth they had accumulated over many years.

"Let's do it. Should we leave them anything?"

The Demon King looked toward Lamia beside him and revealed a cruel smile; he intended to leave behind some clues so that the truth would point to him.

It would be best if he could force his own sister to have no choice but to take action to eliminate him.

"Meddlesome, don't waste time; it won't be good if we get discovered by that woman Aishiliya."

"We are no match for that woman."

Lamia shook her head; this operation was an action she took out of her own selfish motives to purchase intelligence, not a mission for Ouroboros.

Therefore, it is better to keep the commotion to a minimum.

"Fine."

Then, the next moment, Lu'aos tilted his head and collapsed directly onto the ground.

And the Gift Card in his hand, which stored all of Perseus's wealth, was just like that snatched away by Lamia and the Demon King.

"Maxwell, I've troubled you again~"

"It's nothing, just help me see Weila next time."

PS

Regarding Aixiliya Pashius, it seems this character does not exist in the original work.

I also referenced a character from someone else's book; it can be considered a fanfiction of a fanfiction.

Furthermore, the current point in time is actually three years before the original work, and the Perseus in the original work has actually already declined.

It had even reached the point of having to sell Leticia.

In the end, even the flag of the Community was snatched away by Izayoi Sakamaki, and the entire Community fell into obscurity.
