"Don't be stupid......"

When she spoke to Demos again, Carette's tone visibly softened.

She knew that she was indeed attracted by the special temperament and charm of Demos, and that was perhaps just like what Bai Xiu said, a very special temptation, just like the unevenness suddenly encountered in ordinary life, a spoonful of flavoring in the light soup can always make the person who touches it feel bright, and the heart is excited.

Prosperity always returns to blandness.

Carette knew she had to make a decision today to get rid of this unfortunate encounter once and for all.

"You should understand that if it weren't for Hector, I wouldn't have come to the human world again, let alone meet you again. That's fate. In the past, you and I emphasized that fate cannot be disobeyed, but now why are you so persistent and so bitter to force each other? This will not benefit anyone, and will only cause more people to be hurt by you and me......"

Looking into Demos's eyes and slowly finishing the sentence, Kareta was also suffering from inner pain. Perhaps, she thought, this ordeal was a process to go through from prosperity to ordinary.

Demos stood motionless, the look on his face completely sealed in the words of Carreta just now.

"I'm sorry, I think...... Today's interview may not be the right time. ”

Carreta finally withdrew her hands from under Demos's stiff fingers. On the back of a pair of thin white hands, five red fingerprints are clearly distinguished.

Standing up slowly, Kareta moved to leave. The only solid wood floor under her feet was sturdy and non-slip, but every step she took was like walking on thin ice, and her steps were clumsy and slow.

Self-deception is the most difficult to deceive, and although Karete's mouth is hard, her heart is the most painful.

A strange light poured out from behind, and the dazzling light instantly occupied all the space and corners of this café.

Just as Carette turned around in surprise to see what was going on, Demos strode up and kissed her on the lips as he poured her into his arms.

Just as Kareta turned to leave, Demos opened the velvet box on his right, cleverly seizing the last opportunity to trip Karete's feet.

The contents of the gift box were indeed the crystal ball containing the Athena gemstone, and the moment the lid was opened, the gem's undisguised brilliance illuminated the entire café through the crystal outer wall.

The figures of Demos and Carreta kinked and kissed in the light. It was a long time before they let go of each other due to excessive suffocation.

Looking at each other silently, Demos raised his hand to wipe away the tears that hung from Karete's cheeks.

"Your heart has been betrayed by your body. You love me, these tears are the best portrayal of the soul. ”

He smiled, cold and sad.

"Why do you have to force me, why do you lead me to a corner!

Her mind is revealed, and Carette nervously starts her temper. She cried and whipped Demos with her arms until he was embraced again.

"Don't leave me, I want you to be with me. ”

Emotionally, he buried his head between her blonde hair, sniffing the fragrance of her body greedily.

She was always full of confidence, and no hardships or difficulties could make her hold back, she was gentle and kind, but there were times when she was angry, she was meticulous, and occasionally impulsive and reckless.

He knew everything about her well, and for a long time, he had identified this girl who was weak on the outside, but tough on the inside.

Karete's body no longer struggled, and snuggled into the crook of Demos's arm, as if it had been melted by the scorching heat of his chest, and in an instant it lost the support of its skeleton and turned into a puddle of soft liquid.

"Don't push me again, I can't betray Jose, I can't betray Hector, I can't ......" her shoulders shrugged as she sobbed.

"I didn't force you, it was not me who made you feel miserable, it was not my own heart that put you in a dilemma!"

Demos spoke sharply, poking her in the affected area without mercy.

"You don't love Jose, you just use him as a stand-in for Hector, as an emotional sustenance. Is it fair to Jose to do this?Messenger of love and light, although you are in charge of earthly love, do you know what true love is?"

She pushed away from his embrace in amazement, her expression embarrassed, but she couldn't refute his words. This emboldened him, and he continued to speak closer to her, speaking faster and more in a heavy tone.

"All this time you have lived in the happiness you thought of with the vows left by the prince, and you loved me clearly, but you did not dare to accept my feelings because you wanted to maintain your loyalty to his love. I can give you all the happiness you want, but your heart is too tightly locked by the prince's yoke. Karet, don't continue to live like this......"

"Shut up! It's none of your business—"

A hysterical roar put an end to Demos's preaching.

"Yes! It's true that I'm wavering, it's my responsibility, it's all my fault! From this day forward, I will only treat Jose with all my heart, and I will no longer be attracted to you, nor will I be tempted by you in any way, do you hear clearly-"

Carette spoke after a few seconds of silence, her words of refraction more like she was swearing to herself.

Yes, it has to be ended, this bond has to be severed—

Carette wept again, and the strings of teardrops shimmered in the light of the Athena jewel, like dazzling pearls.

The air around her was inverted, the air pressure was getting lower and lower, and her body was bound by some kind of force, unable to move in the heavy air.

Kareta knew that the power that had bound her body in an instant was from Demos's mind spell. His blind resistance and repeated refusal finally made Demos angry.

Demos took the crystal ball from the box and held it up with one hand between his and Carette's bodies. In an instant, the jewel light inside the sphere illuminated their entire faces, and Carret's pretty face became even paler, while Demos's solemn and angry handsome face was reflected a little hideous.

"Are you running away?" he asked, staring at her, his tone getting colder.

"Haven't you always wanted to find out all the secrets about this gem? When I'm done, it's never too late for you to decide. ”

The secret of gemstones?

Carette's body couldn't move, and she couldn't walk away anyway, so she simply listened to Demos continue.

"A few months ago, when your Olympus god was just reborn, I stumbled upon this gem of the power of the goddess of war in the human realm and placed it in the Dark Temple. From the moment you and the other two gods appeared in Athens, I knew you were here for the gems. And when you escaped from the Dark Temple, you almost found out the secret of the gem, which is the real reason why I was willing to let you out of another dimension later, and I didn't want to leak the news so quickly. ”

"Where the secret is......"

"Yes, have you forgotten where you were when I was in a hurry with someone......

"Could it be...... That underground vault!"

It's the underground vault——!

In Demos's prompting, Carette quickly thought of the place she had once suspected, and that she still remembered vividly. Because there was the first time she was kissed on the lips by him in public, hugged in public and carried on her shoulders!

But no matter how much she thought about it at that time, she would never have imagined that what was hidden in that secret room was the Athena Jewel, the ultimate mission target that poured the power of almost all the gods of Olympus into search!

However, everything seems to be too coincidental-

"That'...... What are you going to do by hiding this gem in your temple......"

The moment she said this, an eerie chill burst out of Karete's spine, causing her to shiver uneasily.

Does Demos need to answer in person? The previous events had apparently revealed the answer for her. Athena, the goddess of war, is the second most powerful goddess of the Titans after Zeus, and possessing her gems is equivalent to the source of divine power passed down to her.

When Aquaman took great pains to hold this gem in his hand, he also said that if he got the power of Athena, he could fight against the Holy Mountain and replace Zeus!

Is it possible, and so is Demos......

"Gods, I was expelled from the sacred mountain by Zeus, and the honor of the gods and the worship of mankind have been denied to me, but now I have received the powerful Athena Gem. If I use it, I may be able to break through the barrier of the sacred mountain and defeat Zeus and become the next almighty god. ”

"You're really... Plotting rebellion..."

Carette was taken aback. Everything came so suddenly that she was caught off guard.

"That'...... So, what does this have to do with me......"

She was very aware of her crisis situation at this time, and asked unconsciously without confidence.

"Because...... I have a confusion that is why I still have a lot of indecision. ”

Demos moved his gaze through the transparent outer walls of the crystal ball, all concentrating on the gem inside.

"At first, I took Jose's memories and made you feel bitter, and I was originally revenge for the hatred of being banished because of you, but at the same time, I was constantly infected by your courage and perseverance, and my own heart was also suffering all kinds of pain. I am perplexed by you, Carette, and I know that if I use this gem to challenge Olympus, I will lose you forever, whether I succeed or fail. ”

"Demos ......"

"You came to me today when you heard about the Jewels, which shows that you still have a heart for Titan. Kareta, you and I both have the identity of the gods, we have joined forces to fight side by side, and we are attracted to each other in love, and no one is at fault. Now that I hand over the Athena Jewel, will you stay with me? I have said to you, at the ends of the earth, that what I really want is your heart, your love!"

Carette was stunned and speechless, and Demos's wonderful confession made her speechless, and her complicated heart did not know whether to be happy or worried.

"Don't hesitate with each other, don't let each other suffer, take it, and use your hands to give me a reason to no longer be confused......"

Demos stretched his arm forward, the gem a few closer to Carret, his dark eyes shining brightly in the divine streamer, his burning gaze at Karette in anticipation of her decision, while she stared at the crystal ball motionless in a stunned freeze.
