Who is Nereus?

He is the leader of Zebel's kingdom and is a qualified king.

He knew from a long time ago that if he wanted to unify the entire undersea, then the kingdom of Atlantis was definitely a threshold that could not be bypassed.

Not because of anything else, but simply because the name Atlantis represents the legitimacy of the kingship under the sea.

Whether it was his Zebel or other kingdoms, antiquity was only a part of Atlantis.

It is precisely because he understands this that he has befriended two generations of kings of Atlantis in a row, and even did not hesitate to pull out his daughter to sign a marriage contract with King Orm.

His original intention was to obtain more resources from Atlantis to strengthen Zebel through his daughter's relationship, but he didn't expect Orm to die violently for some reason.

His plan fell through.

However, it is precisely because of this that Nereus thought of a more desperate method.

He wants to put his daughter on the throne of Atlantis and become the queen of Atlantis.

[Mera has a marriage contract with Orm, and she is already a person from Atlantis] This concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Atlantean people.

They were familiar with and relieved that Mera, who often came to wander around when the previous Queen Atlanta was still around.

With such a public opinion base, Nereus can completely create a [very affectionate] character for Mera, become a "nominal" queen, and become a queen who will automatically abdicate as long as her revenge is successful.

"Thank you for your kindness, Nereus, but I still think something is wrong with this matter."

In the palace of Atlantis, the kingdom's second-in-command, Vico, continued to pretend not to understand and quietly refused.

He thought about many people, but he didn't expect that after Orm's death, the first person to attack the leaderless Atlantis was actually Zebel King Nereus, who had always been the leader of Orm.

"I know, I'm just giving you a piece of advice." Nereus regained his kind countenance, and after a few more words, he left Atlantis and returned to Zebel with Mera, who he had silently gagged.

"Father!"

"Why?!"

"Orm is dead, why do you want me to be his fiancée? Do you want me to be the queen of Atlantis? ”

After returning to the palace, Mera, who was finally able to speak, stopped in front of her father.

"It's because Orm is dead that you have a chance to become the queen of Atlantis, understand?"

"What? No, no, I refuse. ”

"I-"

"You don't have the right to refuse this, Maera."

Neros sighed, speaking the coldest of things in the gentlest tones.

"Listen, Mera. Uniting the seas and restoring Atlantis to its former glory was the lifelong dream of successive kings of Zebel, you know? ”

"Now we have a chance, Orm is dead, and you are Orm's only fiancée, and the people of Atlantis accept you and are familiar with you, do you understand?"

Nereus's fingers ran over her daughter's cheek, but the gentle and kind face was strange to Mera.

"This is our chance, Maera."

"So, you have to be the queen of Atlantis, you know?"

"No, I don't understand."

"The throne of Atlantis should be Arthur Curry, the eldest son of Queen Atlanta, not me."

"You make me feel strange, father." Mera slowly stepped back, looked at the man in front of her, and shook her head.

His eyes were full of disappointment.

"Atlanta's eldest son?"

"Mera, you have to be clear."

"Atalana is no longer the queen of Atlantis. She is a slut who has lost her manners, a slut who has violated the marriage contract and fornicated with a human man, and a slut who has been imprisoned in the country of Haigou to be punished! ”

"She doesn't deserve to be on the throne with the wild seed she gave birth to humans, understand?"

"You're my daughter, Orm's fiancée."

"You should fulfill your marriage contract. Whatever happened, got it? ”

The gentleness on Nereus's face was gradually torn apart by ambition, and the exposed appearance made Merada feel terrified in his heart.

She had never seen a father like this.

"From today, you will not be able to take half a step out of this room until your enthronement begins."

One last glance at her daughter, Nereus turned and left her room.

Mera subconsciously wanted to climb out of the window where she had escaped in the past, but when she opened the window, she found that there were three detachments of escorts staring at her.

"How could it be ............?"

Panicked in her heart, Mera searched all the exits where she had escaped before, and there were all large troops standing, without exception.

The meaning of Nereus is already obvious:

In the past, you ran out and ran out, and anyway, you played before you got married. But not now, honestly wait to prepare for the throne and become queen.

"What to do ......"

Mera closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down with deep breaths.

The attitude of his father, Nereus, has been clearly demonstrated, and he is following the same path as Orm.

Once he takes control of Atlantis in the name of his identity, he will inevitably go to war with the earthly world.

"That's right, Beckett! Beckett! ”

After forcing herself to calm down, Mera suddenly thought about something, the conch she had given to Beckett before she returned yesterday.

"Beckett! Beckett, are you absent? ”

"Beckett, please get me out!"

"Beckett ............"

London, United Kingdom.

Beckett, who was strolling along the Thames in a black loose tracksuit, frowned as he watched the scene of people coming and going in front of him.

"Woz?"

"It should be because too much time has passed, so the building with the clue of the [Mother Box] recorded in the data has disappeared."

Woxz in the bracelet space took the data he retrieved and compared it with the Thames River in front of him.

It also has some headaches.

The existence of the mother box is too mysterious.

The only clue was cut off.

"Beckett? Is it really you? ”

A call brought Beckett back to his senses from his conversation with Woz.

Diana with a black leather jacket and white shirt on the top, blue skinny jeans on the bottom, and a pair of high-heeled boots on her feet came into view.

"Diana?"

"Are you visiting the world's most famous places, Beckett?" Diana, who had listened to Bruce's analysis and felt that the man in front of her was likely to be a distant relative that she couldn't beat, asked with a smile.

"Get out of the way." Beckett single-handedly pushed away Diana, who was in the way, but Diana grabbed her wrist instead.

"Shall we talk, have a drink together, Beckett?"

"Get out of the way, or I won't mind dropping you down." Indifference was written all over Beckett's face.

Why are women so annoying?
