Chapter 30: The Furious Aishiliya
"Lu'aos, what did you say?"
Looking at Lu'aos, who was kneeling on the ground trembling and not daring to raise his head at all.
Aishiliya said in a great rage; she was truly angry now.
This Lu'aos was simply too useless; could he even mess up something as simple as going to retrieve a Gift?
"You can even mess up such a simple matter; is that a tumor growing on your head?"
"Go bring the whip over, the most ruthless one!"
Aishiliya said, waving her hand toward the soldiers guarding her side with an expressionless face.
"Yes!"
The soldiers nearby immediately wore expressions that suggested this was exactly as it should be, and turned to go to the back hall to retrieve the torture instrument.
After all, the ordinary soldiers of Perseus had long since grown tired of this moody Demigod descendant.
Before long, a guard arrived before Aishiliya, holding a long black whip with spikes on its surface.
Aishiliya picked up the whip with an expressionless face, walked slowly to the front of Lu'aos, and said in a tone devoid of emotional fluctuation.
"Speak, what exactly is the reason that caused you to spend the Community's assets until not a single cent remained?"
"Leader, Lady Aishiliya, Aunt, I really don't know!"
Lu'aos, who was kneeling on the ground prostrate, said while trembling; he truly did not know what had happened.
Although he admitted that he was a bit cruel and a bit lecherous.
But he really did not dare to touch the Community's assets; he still strictly followed his aunt's rules.
Even when he went to the Spring Water Agency or the flower district, he used his own private treasury.
He still knew the difference between what was important and what was trivial.
"But, you are the only one qualified to open the vault."
"And this vault was forged by the Main God Hephaestus; who has the ability to go inside and steal?"
Slap!!
The long whip struck the air and landed on Lu'aos's body, leaving behind long whip marks and several tiny holes.
From within the holes, bright red blood slowly flowed out.
At this moment, Aishiliya revealed an annoyed expression and asked.
"I will ask you one more time, when did the treasures in the vault go missing!"
Anger, extreme anger; there was the anger of being betrayed, and even more, the anger of being disappointed that he did not live up to expectations!
If he did it, he did it; couldn't he just boldly admit it?
Such a large sum, the value of the ordinary treasures alone almost reached hundreds of millions of Thousand Eyes Gold Coins, and it just vanished into thin air?
With this level of wealth, even if she were to spend it, it is not certain she could finish it all.
Not to mention that there were many various rare Gifts inside the vault.
If Lu'aos had really spent it all right under her nose, she would not have said anything.
Being able to spend that much money without being discovered by her was also a kind of talent.
It was the fact that it was lost that made her even more furious.
Hiss!
Struck by a whip capable of breaking defenses, Lu'aos could not help but gasp.
"I don't know, I really don't know~~"
Lu'aos said while enduring the intense pain in his body; he really did not know.
It was clearly still there when he opened the vault door, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
And his neck was still hurting now.
"It was definitely snatched away by someone else; the injury on my neck is the evidence."
As if he had remembered something, Lu'aos said excitedly.
It seemed as if he could wash away the injustice he suffered just by telling the truth.
It was just that Aishiliya clearly did not believe Lu'aos's words at all; after a cold laugh, she swung the long whip again.
"Are you trying to say that you, who were carrying Demon Star Algol on your neck, wearing Hades's helmet on your head, wearing Hermes's long boots on your feet, holding Athena's shield and Cronus's sickle in your hands, and having Phorcys's divine bag, were ambushed and knocked unconscious?"
"That is likely the biggest joke I have heard in my life."
As the only descendant and male heir of this generation of Perseus, the doting Lu'aos received was quite exaggerated.
Let alone Demon Star Algol, even his ancestor Xianyingzuo Pashius had given him all of his own weapon Gifts.
Not to mention that he also had various life-saving Gifts on his body.
If he could still have his treasures snatched away within the Perseus base under these circumstances.
Then that could only mean that Lu'aos was useless to a certain degree.
Even if these Gifts were given to an ordinary Five-digit, they would be able to have the power to fight against an ordinary Four-digit.
"It really was snatched away by a Demon King."
Lu'aos still said stubbornly; he was wronged, how many people in the entire Little Garden could be more wronged than he was now.
Even Dou E from the Dongfang side might not be as wronged as him.
It was just that Lu'aos's stubbornness only made Aishiliya strike with more force and more irritability.
She felt that she was only over 1,600 years old now; calculated by the age of a Demigod, she was still a girl in her prime.
But at this moment, she felt she was about to be driven to menopause by Lu'aos!!
Slap!
A heavy whip swung down, and just like that, whip after whip continued until Lu'aos had more air going out than coming in.
Aishiliya felt a little more comfortable only then.
"Take him away and find a doctor to treat him."
Aishiliya waved to the guards beside her and said, as she really did not want such a person to appear before her eyes anymore.
Even if she knew clearly that this might not truly be Lu'aos's fault, someone still had to take the blame.
Moreover, within the entire Perseus, only Lu'aos was qualified to open the vault; even she did not have the qualification.
But the most foolish thing Lu'aos did was, when going to the vault to take out the treasures, he actually did not know how to use the Helmet of Hades?
This was a Gift capable of hiding one's figure, to the point that even a Three-digit could not discover the trail.
If Lu'aos had been even a little bit careful, it would have been impossible for him to be attacked and for the Perseus treasures and Gifts to be robbed.
Aishiliya sighed and waved her hand to dismiss the crowd of soldiers and maids in the main hall.
She sat on the main seat, pondering what to do next.
"What a headache."
Did they really think she took out all of Perseus's assets for nothing?
Was it just for Leticia and her Divinity?
If she really wanted Divinity, wouldn't praying to the Goddess Athena be more effective?
She had received news that the newly acquired Subordinate God of Shiroyasha, the student cultivated in the outside world by Kuroa Balong, Su Nian, had saved a world and harvested the Sovereignty of a Gene Editing Technology.
And here in Greece, the Medicine God Asclepius and his Subordinate Gods were preparing to perfect the Full Authority Domain of medicine.
To become the first Medicine God in Little Garden to reach Three-digit status by relying on a modern medical system.
And the final piece of the puzzle needed now was the Sovereignty of the Gene Editing Technology.
Her plan was very simple: to find a way to win the bid for Leticia and her Divinity to trade with Su Nian.
Finally, to help Asclepius break through to become a Three-digit Medicine God.
This would inevitably bring her unimaginable returns and would also bring the favor and debt of gratitude of Asclepius to her Goddess Athena.
The favor of a Three-digit Medicine God was still quite valuable and worth a lot.
And all she needed to pay was the insignificant wealth of Perseus.
It was just that now she really needed to think of other ways.
At the very least, she had to make up for the price difference of the Divinity.
She currently only had the certainty of winning the bid for Leticia.
