Chapter Twenty-Three: The Truth Is Cruel
Inside the pavilion, Kareta lowered her eyelashes calmly and glanced into the crystal ball held high by the jeweled skeined gold tripod.
Instantly, she shifted her gaze to Cali's arrogant look.
"What does this mean, Goddess Kali?"
While calmly questioning the other party, Kareta secretly hated her own hatefulness.
Obviously, his intentions have been exposed, but he still has to pretend to be calm in front of the other party and refuse to admit it.
Dimensional wind continued to pour in through the open entrance of the chamber, and the hot and oppressive breath made everyone feel uncomfortable.
Cali narrowed his purple eyes, raised two delicate red lips slightly, and smiled gloomily.
"Isn't it for this gem that you and Demos have come to this day?"
Cali's miniature eyes widened abruptly, and his eyes were full of affirmation as he looked directly at Karet's face.
When facing her alone, Cali no longer calls her "Princess", but also calls Demos by name.
"You... What nonsense!"
Karete's heart tightened suddenly, and her voice trembled slightly as she retorted.
"That's not the case, then what are you doing with him for? What is the reason for you to suddenly change your mind and stay with him, after so many disobediences to him? Is it just for ...... Love?"
Cali tilted his head to the side, his eyes still fixed on Karet, and he spoke in a high and low tone, sounding very playful.
"I chose him because I loved him...... This kind of thing shouldn't be asked by the goddess Kali......"
Kareta was so nervous that she clenched her two punches, and replied with a hard bangbang, but her confidence was insufficient.
Kali's laughter was even more unbridled, and his purple eyes gave off a sinister gaze, like the most violent poison.
Carette only made contact with her fierce eyes, and she felt as if she had been poisoned, and instantly felt like she was about to suffocate.
"You love him?... It couldn't be better!"
"You...... What do you mean......"
Kareta was forced to feel uncomfortable by Kali's sharp eyes, as if she was being pressed by heavy pressure, and before she knew it, her breathing became rapid, and the fine cold sweat oozing from her forehead had become bean-sized in the blink of an eye.
"I don't think Demos has told you about your connection to this gem, has he?"
Cali asked Kareta in a whisper.
Inside the crystal ball, the transparent blue Athena gemstone flowed with a dazzling and clear fire, and the rippled brilliance of the water ripples shot from above from under the delicate jawbone carved by the Kali statue, casting a gloomy and terrifying veil over her sexy and gorgeous features.
The wind of the dimension is surging more and more, constantly ravaging ~ the faint candle flame on the table. The three-point pale yellow light twisted and danced in the wind, making a helpless resistance.
Carette was completely unaware, and she was preoccupied as she listened to Cali continue.
"When the Titan Treasure Athena Jewel fell into the hands of Demos, it was sealed in a crystal ball by an unknown god, and the key to unlocking the seal is you, Karet! ”
When Cali said this, not only did he speak clearly, but he also spoke as slowly as possible, leaving enough time for Carette to teach her to think carefully and analyze carefully.
“... Cali... What are you talking about......"
By the time she had finished speaking, Carette was already stunned, her two delicate lips opening and closing numbly, and her voice was soft and muddy.
Cali spoke every word very clearly, and Carette listened very carefully.
After listening to her resentful statement, Karet's whole body instantly felt as if she was petrified.
The smug look was even more visible on Cali's face.
Slowly retracting a cold sneer, she glanced at Karete, who had no power to refute, and after a fierce "hum", she continued to attack brutally:
"Before, the reason why Demos saved you again and again from Helen and Poseidon was because of the gem and had to take action. Now he is trying to please you in every possible way, and he just wants you to fall in love with him and unlock the seal of the crystal ball for him!"
Kareta felt dizzy.
Cali's bewitching face was as cold as water, and it became expressionless anymore, and it spun around in front of Karete's eyes for a moment.
With a stumble of her upper body, Kareta completely slumped in front of the stone table, her legs as if they had turned into boneless mud, and she had no strength to stand up.
"No... That's impossible... It can't be ......"
She looked up as hard as she could, shaking her head at Cali in question.
"It was Demos himself who told me! I was afraid that you would not be good for him, so I sent Helen as your assassin, but then another axe almost killed you. That's when I learned the secret of you and the gem, which is why I showed mercy to you. Karete, I can only blame you for being too naïve and innocent. Don't think about it, a girl like you, don't talk about the Titan Protoss, even if you have seen too much in human Rimmos, how can she only be devoted to you......?
Kali had risen from her seat, slowly pouring out crumbs around Karethe's trembling body.
When she said "acting on the spot", she brought her plump lips to Carette's ear, and whispered the word with great ease, like a cool breeze of freedom blowing mercilessly through her opponent's ear, bringing the cruelty of the word to perfection.
"Do you think that the god Olympus really has such a wise mind, and actually resorted to a pediatric beauty trick? But I don't know that human beings have words, the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, and accidentally becomes a chess piece......
As every word was uttered by Cali, the joy in her heart kept rising.
This proud goddess, who has been ignored by Demos for a long time and forgotten by love for a long time, finally tastes the pleasure of revenge in her jealous heart in the face of a languishing opponent!
Kareta was completely speechless, leaning on the edge of the table and only bouncing her head mechanically.
The gaze was completely filled with Cali's two-point purple eyes.
As the minutes passed, the clear brilliance in the pair of purple eyes kept changing, but the more they flashed, the heavier they became, and the more cloudy they became.
Finally, as another gust of wind swept into the chamber, the light of the three-o'clock candle flame was completely overturned. And in the back of his heart, Cali also set off an even more brutal wave at the moment when the fire completely disappeared.
She pounced, her arms like firm pincers grabbing one of Karete's jade wrists again.
"Didn't you say you love Demmus?
"Don't! Let go of me! I don't know how! I don't know anything!
Frightened, Kareta struggled to retract her arms from the confinement of Kali's hands, and her body, which had become limp from the intense stimulation, was almost pressed to the table by the manic Kali.
"Cali! stop—"
A majestic voice rang out from the entrance of the chamber with infinite resentment, like rolling thunder that shattered the sky before a rainstorm, instantly stopping Cali's wanton rampage.
The owner of the voice is none other than Demos.
In the conference room of a business hotel, Demos was halfway through the shareholders' meeting of a gold mining development company when his mobile phone vibrated restlessly.
The caller was none other than Noah.
Demos didn't feel good.
At this time, his attendants should be in the Dark Temple, and there is no mobile phone signal in the dimensional space-time.
Allowing Noah's child to call regardless of time and occasion can only mean that there are 100,000 urgent things in the temple, and he can't handle it, so he directly returns to the human world to present it to himself.
Demos came out of the conference room and picked up the call, only to learn that the Goddess of Blood had actually started an extremely evil incident in the temple without telling her-
Demos opened a dimensional passage directly in a hidden place in the hotel, and then hurried to the place of the accident.
Twilight Pavilion –
Cali stopped and looked in the direction of the entrance to the chamber, just in time to see Demos, who had already entered the cabinet and was standing on the last step at the moment.
She grimaced and gritted her teeth to herself.
Obviously, he was one step away, and he could force Kareta to break the crystal ball seal. Now, the perfect opportunity to pass by yourself again!
Demos hurried down the stairs at the entrance to the chamber and stopped in front of Karet.
The thunderclap left Carette completely devoid of her mind, and her mind wandered and she fell to Demos's chest as light as a dry leaf.
Demos hurried to catch up with her, stretching his arms to support her near paralysis.
"Karete ......"
Demos called out to her in a faint voice, deliberately suppressing the panicked ups and downs in his heart.
The night-like eyes shimmered, always tossing up and down her body. At this moment, the deep eyes rolled up a whirlpool, setting off infinite regret.
Kareta's delicate face could no longer find a trace of red blood, and it was all covered by a dry whiteness and a cold sweat from prostration.
She lifted her tearful eyes with difficulty, staring at the stunning and handsome face of the man in front of her—
On the delicate face, a pair of cold eyes are still as deep as the color of the dark night, and every time for her, the feelings poured into her are as hot as fire; the two thin lips are soft and clear, and the moment they kiss her, they are full of sincere emotion and warmth.
All this ...... It's all his scheming, it's his acting to achieve his goal-
The moment Karete's gaze met Demos's, two glimmers of hope suddenly lit up in her gloomy blue eyes.
However, in just a second, the endless gratitude for him turned into fleeting ripples in her eyes.
Looking at Demos, Carette's gaze sank into a gloomy mist again, becoming annoyed and unfamiliar.
She squeezed her numb nerves, and her stiff pronunciation seemed to come out of her stiff lips and teeth.
"Cali... She... Is that true......"
Demos and her looked straight at each other, and a flash of surprise and fear flashed in their eyes, and then their features gradually kinked.
He wanted to explain it to her, but he didn't know where to start for a while.
"You say you love me... You're good to me... I just want me to fall in love with you and unlock the seal of the crystal ball for you... Take out the Athena Jewel ......"
Karete's lips twitched violently as she twitched violently, finally picking out the problem.
“... You... Got it all?"
Demos didn't want to deny it.
This secret is the truth, and it is a heart disease that he has been unable to get rid of for a long time.
After he truthfully admitted it, not only did he not get a moment of peace and relaxation in his heart, but it seemed to be pressed with another layer of weight, becoming heavier and heavier.
As soon as she finished speaking, Carette looked directly at Demos in the eyes, and the endless resentment had become unpredictable.
After a sad and strange stiff laugh, she looked at his black eyes and asked in another out-of-shape tone:
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide it from me?"
His eyes once made her fall in love and fascinate her. Now, she hated his deep and bottomless eyes, and hated the black in those eyes.
“... I don't want to lose you......"
Demos looked straight at Carette and replied in a faint voice. The eyes are tactful, and all that Yingna is full of true feelings that are difficult to give up.
He didn't want to avoid the facts from her anymore, and he didn't want to hide his truest emotions from her.
"Liar—"
Kareta screamed, and a brute force suddenly grew in her body, angrily pushing Demos back a few steps.
By the time he scrambled to her feet, Kareta was already running out of the chamber.
