Chapter 1032 Kindness and gratitude

Lake has already decided, or don't let Joto Saori for his own momentary enjoyment, and the future Athena will use it as a servant for himself.

Lake remembers that Athena was vindictive and stingy before.

If this is now, I enjoy it, and a few years later, when Athena passed the zodiac, she recovered the memory and divine power of the Saint Seiya copy she experienced before, and Athena, who became a god at that time, is estimated to come to trouble herself again.

Lake knew that he would not be able to escape from this dungeon world at that time.

After all, this Saint Seiya copy is just the first straight line plot of the Wolverine copy.

Even if he cleared the Saint Seiya dungeon and successfully helped Athena get through the Zodiac and regain control of the Zodiac Golden Saint Seiya, he would not be able to leave this dungeon world.

At that time, it doesn't have to be many years to stay in this world, and it will be sad to be chased and killed by Athena, who has recovered her divine power, all day long.

Lake picked up the bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, without Saori Joto helping him pour it.

When Saori Joto saw Venerable No. 2's move, she was stunned, thinking that she was not good enough.

Fortunately, because of Joto Saori, this is not long after I first came into contact with Venerable No. 2 ten years later, and I don't know the living habits of Venerable No. 2 on weekdays, so I don't particularly care about it.

Joto Saori thought about it herself, and felt that maybe the reason why Venerable No. 2 was used to living alone and doing her own things by herself didn't need her to help pour the wine.

Lake ate this sumptuous meal with Saori Joto. Fortunately, although the amount of each dish is small, the number of dishes is still quite large.

Saori Joto didn't eat much, and spent most of his time watching Lake eating and drinking.

After eating, Lake burps and prepares to rest.

"I just went to see your grandfather after soaking in the hot springs, and now I'm a little tired. Arrange a single accommodation for me, be quiet on weekdays, have nothing important, and don't be disturbed! Lake smiled and said to Saori Joto on the side.

"Venerable No. 2, I would like to ask, how long can you stay in our mansion?" Saori asked Ryker softly.

Lake thought about it, he was in the courtyard, at least he had to live until Mitsumasa Shiroto faked his death.

"For the time being, stay until your grandfather dies, and then I will protect you for a while." Lake said.

Hearing Venerable No. 2's answer, Saori Joto was not very happy.

Although her grandfather is seriously ill and seems to be getting worse day by day, Saori Shiroto doesn't want her grandfather to pass away.

"Hmm!" Saori Joto got up and left the room with Lake.

Saori Joto took Lake and walked in the wooden corridor of the house, and finally arranged for Lake to live in a room at the back of the house for the reception of guests.

"By the way, you can call me when you eat in the future, or just bring the food over. If there's nothing else to do, just leave, and don't bother me until your grandfather dies! Lake said to Saori Joto with a serious expression.

Saori Shiroto nodded silently, then stepped back and left the room.

Ryker lay on the bed in the room, and with his fiery eyes on his see-through skills, he checked the situation in the room.

This look really made Lake see some problems. There are no hidden cameras in the room, which is not bad, and it is estimated that Mitsumasa Shiroto is also worried that if he finds hidden cameras or something, he will be aware of his subsequent plans.

But Lake found that there was a very delicate incense burner next to his bed in his room, and the incense burner was lit with spices, which tasted very light and smelled like refreshing spices.

However, the results of the fiery eye and the identification showed that the incense burner and the incense burner were not normal.

In the small incense burner, there were two poisonous insects like mosquitoes, one large and one small, lying in the pile of spices at the bottom.

These poisonous insects are the two special poisonous insects that I just saw in Mitsumasa Joto's room, which can enter the mutants' bodies and suppress the mutants' abilities.

Lake also admired that Joto Mitsumasa could get this poisonous insect that inhibits mutants. It seems that over the years, in addition to adopting Joto Saori, he has also secretly studied mutants.

Lake couldn't help laughing, this castle Mitsumasa really couldn't help it, he was so anxious to attack himself.

I just came to his house for a meal, so I arranged these two little poisonous insects for myself.

However, if the two poisonous insects here are dealt with earlier, Lake can rest assured.

Lake directly took out his golden rod and made it shrink to become as slender as a golden needle.

Ryker held the shrunken golden rod in his right hand, and with his fiery eyes and golden eyes clairvoyance skill, he pointed the golden hoop rod into the hole in the incense burner.

"Squeak!" Two shattering sounds, two poisonous insects, one large and one small, were pierced through their heads by the golden hoop stick, and they died almost instantly.

Lake then carried the two poisonous insect corpses in a string with a golden hoop stick, took them out, and threw them directly into the sink of the room's bathroom, and washed away the poisonous insect corpses with water.

After doing this, Lake continued to use his fiery eyes to examine the room, and there was no other hidden danger except for the incense burner.

The sharp-eyed identification showed that the spices in the incense burner were problematic and contained some special toxins, and inhaling these spices for a long time would make the body become unresponsive.

Fortunately, Lake has Wolverine mutant ability, and if those two poisonous insects do not enter his body, the effect of this poisonous spice on Lake's body will be directly cleared by Wolverine's recovery ability.

After making sure that there was no danger in the room, Lake lay down on the bed and began to sleep.

For the next two days, Saori Joto came to deliver food to Lake, or asked Lake to go out of the room and eat in the special dining room of the house.

Every day, Lake casually talks to Saori Shiroto and chats.

"Venerable No. 2, I have heard my grandfather say since I was a child, you are very powerful. Do you have a way to save my grandfather, and if so, please save him, I--" During the meal the next night, Saori Joto finally plucked up the courage and pleaded with Ryker.

However, before Saori Shiroto could finish speaking, Lake waved his hand, interrupted Saori Joto's words, and handed Saori Joto a large chicken leg to block what she was going to say next.

"Everything is fate, your grandfather, Mitsumasa Shiroto, is destined to have this catastrophe. But your grandfather has already made the wrong choice, I can't save him, no one can save him. He has chosen to go to a point of no return, and there is no way back. Saori Joto, don't blame me for being ruthless. What should be done, I can persuade you, I have tried to persuade your grandfather before, but he can't listen. With a calm expression, Lake said to Saori Shiroto, and then took a sip of the unknown seafood soup in the bowl.

Lake thought that after Mitsumasa Joto put those two poisonous insects in his room two days ago, Mitsumasa Joto's end was already doomed.

You have to kill yourself, this person who dares to poison himself.

Of course, the killing process should be slower, so that Mitsumasa Joto can reveal his evil thoughts, and so that the future Athena can see her grandfather as he is.

Joto Saori sat aside and listened carefully, but after listening to the words of Venerable No. 2, Joto Saori was still at a loss, "I don't quite understand what you said!" ”

"It's okay, you'll understand in the future. Whether you can understand it or not is only a matter of time. And I advise you to have kindness and gratitude to those who have protected you in the future, which is very important, and you should now recite ten times a day in the morning, noon and evening before eating. Lake smiled and said to Saori Joto.

Saori Joto looked at the second Venerable with the same gaze as a strange man.

"You read it to me now, you must be sincere in your heart, come, you must have good thoughts and gratitude to those who have protected me!" Lake said to Saori Joto very seriously.

Joto Saori felt that the No. 2 Venerable was talking godly, if it weren't for saving her grandfather, and her grandfather asked her to entertain the No. 2 Venerable well, Joto Saori wouldn't want to come to dinner with the No. 2 Venerable.

"Be kind and grateful to those who have protected me!" Joto Saori didn't look like Venerable No. 2 was joking, she couldn't help it, so she whispered it again.

"Say it nine more times, sincerely, starting today, and for years to come, you will recite it three times a day, at least ten times each time!" Lake said with satisfaction.

"--" Saori Joto didn't know what to say about this strange request from the Second Venerable.

In the end, Joto Saori could only recite it nine more times before Venerable No. 2 nodded.

"Spend more time with your grandfather, his time is running out!" Lake finally said this and got up to leave.

Lake went to the yard, walked by himself, breathed in the fresh air, and then went to soak in the hot springs before returning to his room to sleep.

The next morning, Lake heard cries and bells ringing, or rather the death knell being sounded.

Lake turned on his fiery eyes and saw that Mitsumasa Shiroto had already begun to pretend to be dead.

More than half an hour later, Saori Joto came to the room where Lake was and came to look for him.

"My grandfather is gone!" Saori Joto cried.

"Hmm!" Lake nodded, indicating that he already knew, after all, in this mansion, such a loud noise, if he didn't know that it was the death of the master of Joto Mitsumasa, he couldn't say it.

"Tomorrow, there will be a funeral. Last night, I went to see my grandfather alone. Grandpa told me that after he died, I must follow you, and please keep me safe. Grandpa said that he had already set the identity of the heir to the Joto family's estate as me, and that I would inherit everything from the Joto family after his death, and his will had been completed. But my grandfather told me that after his death, in the days before the will officially came into effect and I took control of the power of the Joto family, there would be many people and forces who would assassinate me for the sake of the Joto family's property and certain interests. Grandpa, he asked me to tell you that the last thing he asked the second Venerable benefactor was to protect me! Saori Joto whispered, intermittently to Lake.

"Hmm. Mitsumasa Joto mentioned to me before, protect you, don't worry, I promised him at that time, I will protect you. At least let you inherit the inheritance of the Joto family smoothly! Lake said.

Lake didn't say a word, if he wanted to inherit the family business smoothly, he had to kill the master of the family who faked his death.

"Actually, I don't want this property, I don't want to be the head of the family. I don't know why Grandpa chose me! If I could, I would like to give the heir to the family to the rest of the family! Saori Joto whispered.

"Then last night, when your grandfather talked to you, did you tell your grandfather your real thoughts in person?" Ryker was a little curious and asked Saori Joto.

After listening to the words of the Second Venerable, Saori Joto shook his head a little sadly, "I didn't dare to tell my grandfather directly last night, when I went to see my grandfather last night, his body was already very weak, and I don't want to refute any of his decisions, so as not to make him angry!" Saori Shiroto said to Lake with a look of regret.

Ryker finished listening to the music and looked at Saori Joto, who was depressed there.

"There's no way around it, now that you've accepted your grandfather's assignment and testament in person, it's too late to regret it. You should first think about surviving, and surviving is the most important thing. Saori, in fact, your horizons are still too small now, and the Joto family seems very large to you now. But when you really grow up a few years later, inheriting the Seongto family is not a big deal for you at all. You move into the room next to me first, I see, the room next to me, it's empty. Tomorrow at your grandfather's funeral, I will accompany you to it! Lake said.

"Hmm!" Saori Joto nodded, this time not rejecting the proposal of the Second Venerable.

Saori Joto also knows that her current identity has become special, and after her grandfather leaves, her identity as an heir is very dangerous.

Saori Joto didn't want to die for no reason.

In the evening, Saori Joto came to Raike's room and had dinner with Raike before leaving, this time not going to the special dining room in the house to eat.

Now in the entire courtyard of the mansion, the door of the house and the wooden corridor aisle, there are many white silk hangings.

Early the next morning, Mitsumasa Joto's funeral ceremony began. Contrary to what Lake expected, instead of performing a ritual in this large mansion, he went to a cemetery.

Saori Joto and Lake were in a business van.

Behind the convoy, there was a vehicle pulling the coffin of Mitsumasa Joto.

Lake used his fiery vision skills to look at the coffin, which was not Shiroto Mitsumasa himself at all, but just the corpse of an old man who looked like Mitsumasa Shiroto, and put on heavy makeup.

The convoy began to move slowly, leaving the house and heading towards a large cemetery.

Saori Joto's eyes were a little red and swollen, and it looked like she had cried a lot last night.

A little more than an hour later, the convoy arrived at the cemetery.

Saori Joto stood in front of the statue of her grandfather Mitsumasa Joto in black and began to receive bows and return gifts from those who came to mourn her grandfather.

Lake stood behind Saori Joto, a meter away, with his fiery eyes and see-through ability, in front of the bodyguard.
