"What?"

Karete's eyes widened in surprise, worried and confused.

Could it be ...... The dream just now...... Is it some kind of revelation?

"Noah...... Noah, ......?"

"He's dead!"

Hearing Demos's answer, Carette was immediately stunned, gasped, and took two steps back before regaining her form.

"Impossible...... That's impossible...... He ...... in the morning."

"Impossible?"

Demos craned his neck, his sad expression gradually mixed with a hint of annoyance:

"He died in my arms, I just buried him with my own hands, what is impossible......? It's Aquaman, Poseidon!"

“！”

Kareta covered her mouth with her hands, her expression of fear and panic beyond words.

"You...... Demos ...... You know all about it?"

"yes...... I just knew...... If it weren't for Noah's sacrifice...... I'm going to be kept in the dark by you for the rest of my life......" Demos grew softer and looked sad:

"Jose is Aquaman, you already know it...... Why are you hiding the ......truth from me?"

"I ...... I...... I didn't mean to...... Demos, you believe me......"

Karete's eyes were filled with tears.

In the field of vision, Demos pressed against her with a godless gaze, making her unable to hide. The prostration, the indictment of the hurt in her eyes, was far more direct and intense than any manifestation of anger.

Carette was heartbroken when she saw him, and she couldn't control her emotions anymore, and she cried out with a "babbling woo".

"You refused to tell me the truth, because I was afraid that I would deal with Poseidon...... It's bad for Jose, isn't it?"

"Demos ......"

Locked by Demos's suddenly sharp gaze, Carreta was terrified.

She didn't know how to answer Demos.

Intelligent, mature in mind, he does know her thoughts inside out. All along, she cared about Jose's body, for fear that the grievances between the gods would affect his life. However, it is this seemingly unrelated problem that directly affects the relationship between her and Demos!

"Heh......"

Seeing that Caret was so anxious that she was sweating, but she was speechless to him, Demos sneered sadly.

"Karet, in all fairness, how do I treat you? From the re-encounter in the human world until now, what you have thought of, what you can't think of, what you can give you can't give you...... I will try my best to satisfy you and please you. I don't have any other thoughts, it's very simple, you are my wife who accompanies me in adversity, I love you, and I want to live with you for the rest of my life. But to this day...... Until Noah leaves...... I really got it...... You don't mean to me...... For me, you can't even give the least trust between husband and wife...... The person you really care about, or Jose?"

Demos looked at Carreta in a daze, and poured out his inner grievances in a sad tone. The further he spoke, the lower his voice became, and gradually, he could no longer speak, and there seemed to be something in his throat holding his breath, and he swallowed deeply.

Carette was ashamed, sobbing and shaking her head to explain:

"It's not...... No, I didn't mean to hide it from you! Poseidon's primordial spirits took control of Jose's body, and he imprisoned Triton, and he used them to threaten me...... I don't know what to do...... Demos, I can't watch Jose and Terry be murdered, I can't let them die......!

At this point, she could no longer hold back, and simply told Demos and Pan the truth.

"Does Noah deserve to die—"

A terrible roar "quacked" to cut off Karete's sad and sad statement, and after a violent tremor all over her body, she did not dare to make another sound.

She had no idea that a sincere explanation would become an outlet for her emotions to intensify, eventually leading to an outburst of Demos's anger.

Demos lifted his lead-filled legs and staggered a few steps closer to Carret. Slowly raising an arm to point out the window, he stared at her tear-stained face with a pale expression, and said slowly with grief and indignation:

"Noah is my favorite subordinate, who has been with me from birth to death, following my past and present lives. At the age of youth, he never even talked seriously about love...... Just because of the sudden death, as the master, I even have a decent funeral...... Can't give it to him!"

Demos choked, his nose moved, and his mood swings were repeated.

With that, he could no longer speak, and strode into the bedroom on the first floor, locking the door.

"Demos! Demos—"

Kareta rushed to his house crying and threw herself down in front of his door. She banged the wooden door, but he still wouldn't open it.

Outside the door, Kareta was already crying and hoarse.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Whining...... Noah...... Sorry ......"

The rain fell overnight and finally stopped before dawn, completely washing away the fog and haze from the sky.

It's dawn -

In the villa in the south area, although the sunlight shines through the glass windows and pours into the room, it cannot drive away the gloomy atmosphere of the villa. The green bushes of the courtyard are chirping, but it can't change the dead silence of the villa.

After leaning against the door of Demos for a while, Carette slowly got up, and Liao Liao fell to the ground cleaning up the coffee stains and porcelain residue on the floor. Later, she went to the bedroom where Noah lived before his death, pushed open the door and walked in.

Carreta made the opening of the door as light as possible.

To this day, it is difficult for her to accept the fact that the child has passed away.

The moment she stood in front of his bedroom door, she was even deceiving herself, fantasizing in her mind that he had been safe and sound, and that she was just lying in the room and sleeping soundly.

Therefore, she had to walk in lightly, as if she were afraid that the slightest movement would disturb him.

In the room, the furniture and household items are simple and tidy.

There seems to be a faint fresh smell in the air, and that is Noah's scent, which is the elegant fragrance of laundry detergent mixed with men's skincare products left in clean clothes.

It's hard to believe that the faithful and trustworthy child is gone like this......

Remembering his voice and smile, Karete's eyes were once again soaked with tears.

Something suddenly occurred in her mind, she collected her sad thoughts, walked quickly out of Noah's room, and then "oh oo

Carette picked up her phone in the bedroom and decisively dialed "Jose's" number.

"What are you doing, baby, looking for me early in the morning?"

It didn't take long for the signal to be connected, and the "Jose" tone on the other end of the microphone sounded very pleasantly surprised:

"You miss me? You can't wait to call me before seven o'clock! Why, we can't make an appointment?"

"You killed Noah?"

Carreta ignores Jose's teasing and asks straightforwardly.

"Noah, is that little ghost playing with throwing knives? hehe......"

On the other end, "Jose" laughed evilly twice, exhaled playfully, and then said:

"He saw you before he died...... There's no way, it looks like I can't play anymore......"

"Tell me, why did you kill him!"

Kareta asked angrily.

"He was the one who provoked me first, and there is nothing I can do about it. But that kid's devotion to Demos is really touching!"

“......”

Carette felt a pang of grief in her heart, and she almost cried again. "Jose's" explanation was not very clear, but Carreta had already roughly guessed Noah's motive for taking the initiative by this time. It is precisely because of this that she feels more sad at this moment, and she feels that she owes Noah.

"It's all your fault, Karet!"

"Jose" waited on the other end of the phone for a while, and after hearing no movement, he continued:

"I told you to give up on Demos a long time ago, and it was your refusal to cause the current situation. Now, let's get down to business! When are you going to follow me? If you hesitate for a day, maybe someone will be killed or injured, maybe the next ...... It's Demos' turn!"

“！”

The heartbeat increased in vain, and the rhythm became more and more disorganized "suddenly".

Perhaps, "Jose" is not wrong -

Kareta thought.

Although his words just now were clearly a way to pour salt on her heart, and she didn't want her mind to be easily deceived by Aquaman's words. But she knew that at this moment, she did blame herself for Noah's death.

Previously, he had obviously promised Hades, the king of Hades, to exchange his life for the magic pot of sanctioning Poseidon's Yuan Ling. It was his own indecision, his greed for life, and his reluctance to give up on Demos that caused Noah to die in vain.

Now, the situation is completely passive -

Now that I am really cornered-

"You...... Don't hurt the innocent anymore......"

In desperation, Carette had no choice but to beg for "Jose".

"Come to my arms! I'm living in a newly purchased villa with a sea view, and I'm still lying under the covers! If you want me to stop hurting people, it all depends on your performance. ”

“...... I'll leave Demos ......."

“...... Really?"

"Jose" was a little surprised.

"Yes, I've decided to leave him, and I'll stay with you and lift the seal on the Athena Jewel for you......"

Karete's voice trembled, pitiful.

"That's right! When are you coming? Tell me about a place, I'm going to pick you up, I just bought a new car, I can take you around. ”

"The butler just died, and there is something going on on Demos's side...... Allow me...... Stay with him for two more days......"

"Cut! What are you doing, still reluctant to him?"

Hearing Carret's trembling cry on the phone, "Jose's" tone revealed dissatisfaction:

"You sincerely make me jealous, don't hesitate, only after trying will you know that my kung fu is not worse than his, or even better than him!hehe......"

"Say no more, I'm hanging!"

There was a cruel laugh of "Jose" from the earpiece, knowing that he cared about ~ lewdness, Carette blushed and shouted, and was about to hang up.

"Wait!"

"Jose" stopped her:

"Now that Demos knows the truth, keep an eye on him and don't let him trouble me. If you hurt him to protect yourself, don't blame me!"

"Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation. ”

After Kareta finished speaking, she didn't delay any longer and hung up in a hurry.
