The Dark Temple, The Pavilion –

Kali, the goddess of blood, sat in the space where the curtains were closed, staring at the crystal ball on the stone table.

She didn't wake up until noon, and as soon as she got out of bed, she received a report from her subordinates that "Jose" had left the other dimension in a hurry because the business of the human world was not over.

She was indifferent to the crepes of the fellow, and it was only when she heard that he had entered the Pavilion alone before leaving, that she was shocked.

Cali went down to the underground chamber in a rage, and didn't even bother to punish the derelict chief of the guard at the door.

Straight through the hidden space where the layers of curtains gathered, Cali walked to the stone table with the candlestick in hand, and split his palm to uncover the convex black cloth on the table. Suddenly, her purple eyes were lit up with a familiar and warm glow.

Cali let out a long sigh, and his heart, which was about to jump out of his throat, could finally return to its original position.

At this time, the sapphire, which had attracted the attention of the Titans, lay quietly in the crystal ball, which was held up by a beautifully looking twisted gold frame in the center of the stone table.

Everything seems to be fine!

Cali's tense nerves relaxed.

Originally, she thought that Aquaman had sneaked into the secret room while she was asleep, and that he must have done something to the Athena Jewel. Now that the gem was in its place, Cali realized that all his worries were unnecessary.

Why, Poseidon now lives in the Dark Temple, and no matter how much courage he has, he won't dare to blatantly steal the gem from under my nose?

But why did he wait until I was asleep before coming to the pavilion?

Standing and pondering repeatedly, Cali couldn't think of the result, so he simply sat down on the stone chair with an irritated ass, looking a little lonely.

From time to time, the clammy and cold dimensional wind poured in from the entrance of the underground chamber, and the hanging satin drapery swayed in the wind without direction, like a ghost with a light individual and teeth and claws.

Isn't my nature too suspicious? I like to make things out of nothing, and I don't look like a woman at all, that's why I'm disliked......

Cali suddenly felt sorry for himself, and rolled his eyes around, only to be startled by a distorted black shadow on the floating drapery.

"Ahh

She exclaimed, and boldly refocused her scattered eyes and looked at the strange place for a long time before she shook her head with a smile.

Scold...... A false alarm, it turned out that it was just his own figure cast on the curtain-

Cali stared blankly at his projection, and after another moment, he hung his head silently, and his heart was not desolate.

As the saying goes, "lonely people, lonely people", savor it, the artistic conception of "lonely" and "widow" is so miserable and unbearable.

As a god, with omnipotent powers, he has lived in seclusion in the ancient temple for too long, and he will be frightened by his own shadow one day—

Five slender jade fingers passed through a few strands of curled green silk, and after a self-deprecating silent sneer, a lonely sigh was followed.

Cali's mood at this moment was unusually lonely and sad.

With her hands on her hands as rulers of a clan, she felt no true satisfaction or happiness.

There are also men who are struggling with each other on the pillow, but every night when I wake up like a dream of Nanke, the loneliness and emptiness in my inner world will become more burdensome and heavier.

Perhaps, when your heart has never been complete and satisfied, you will be hurt and weakened because you can't ask for a man.

What do you want?

Quietly hanging her head, she asked herself sadly, is it the figure of Lang Jun standing in the dark night wind?

In his memory, he was always covered by a neat black dress, and whenever the half-length slightly curly black hair was scattered, he also looked particularly unruly and cool......

Demos –

In the moments of solitude, Cali could not control her tired heart, and she could not control herself from remembering the man who was unusually familiar to her, but also unfamiliar. Although at that time, she often forced herself to hate him and curse him, but she really realized her vulnerability when she couldn't help but shout his name.

In any case, she never had the courage to erase him from her memory completely.

Cali couldn't help but recall his handsome face.

Is this the case with his eyebrows and his eyes...... Wrong...... It seems like that......

The purple eyes squinted, and the light in them was frightened and disordered.

Cali suddenly felt as if she couldn't remember Demos's appearance clearly, and she became terrified.

I kept piecing together one picture of a man's facial features in my head, and then all of them were broken, and then pieced together, and shattered again......

"No, it's not...... That'...... That's not right...... What the hell is it!Demos's face...... Why can't I remember—"

Cali muttered nervously to himself, as if he had an obsessive-compulsive episode, and fell into a frenzy, sweating all over his body.

"All you love is the man who holds the world in front of you—"

The moment the tall figure turned resolutely to her in his mind, his cold and ruthless words were like a thunderbolt that struck down the air, and suddenly woke her up in a confused state.

She loved him dearly, but she couldn't remember what he looked like. She hated him, so she remembered his despair for her!

Everything I did was for you, for the sake of the Dark Clan, and what did I get in exchange for?

Cali was momentarily annoyed and angry, and his emotions fell into extreme irritability.

Holding her head in her hands and screaming a few times, she suddenly turned around and smashed the curtain of the scene, and then raised her hand in anger to knock down the stone table beside her.

"Gollum...... Whoa—"

The candlestick fell, and the crystal ball rolled to the ground, shattering to pieces. The flame of the candle and the glow of the gem were extinguished almost simultaneously, and the Pavilion was plunged into a dark color of destruction.

What's going on......

The darkness in his vision caused Cali to shudder and wake up.

Why is it so dark...... Where is the light of the Athena Jewel...... Crystal ball...... A crystal ball whose seal has not been broken...... How could it be so fragile that it couldn't withstand a fall-

In the silence, Cali could only hear his own clumsy breathing, and the sound of his heart beating more and more rapidly......

The cruel and ironic blackness in her eyes has revealed an indisputable fact to her:

This shattered crystal ball is clearly a fake, and I really don't know when it has been quietly transferred by someone with ulterior motives-

Damn –

Cali was immediately furious, screamed strangely, and walked out of the pavilion through gritted teeth.

The guards guarding outside the exit had already judged the seriousness of the situation from the sound of the beating in the secret room, so when Cali walked out of the secret room with a twisted and distorted face, they were all so frightened that they bowed their heads one after another, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Especially the captain of the guard who led the class, experience told him that the reason why the hostess was angry must be directly related to "Jose" entering the secret room, and the person who let "Jose" in was not himself-

The head guard bowed his head and was silent, his whole body trembling, and he felt that he was staring at the vicious and bloodthirsty eyes of the goddess of blood.

Cali's purple eyes were firmly locked on the guy who had more than enough to accomplish and more than to lose, and his cold eyes were boiled hot and muddy with anger.

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed from the bloodshot eyes.

In front of everyone, the neck of the chief of the guard had been cut straight by an invisible force, and before he could say a word, his head left his body, and he fell to the ground and rolled a few times.

Cali lowered his long eyelashes and quietly looked at the fresh, uncold blood, and stretched out his seductive red tongue with a numb face and licked his upper lip......

——

Demos had a busy day and rushed back to the South End villa very late.

Carette was already waiting at home.

When Demos entered the door, she had already taken a shower according to her usual routine, her long hair was still a little damp, and she put on a short-sleeved silk skirt and leaned against a wall in the living room, fiddling with the hanging spider plants.

"You're back. ”

Seeing Demos, Carette turned to him and greeted him with a beautiful voice. These days, their relationship has finally eased somewhat. Forget appropriately, with a common goal in mind, take a step back from each other, and the broken relationship can be slowly repaired.

"Are you okay?"

Demos responded with a smile and gave her a warm hug after putting down the car keys in his hand.

"I have done everything today, the contract has just been signed, and the full amount of the proceeds will arrive soon......"

He patted Carreta on the back as if to reassure her, and what he was talking about was the transfer of the oil painting studio.

"We'll be leaving Greece soon!"

"Can we delay it for another two days?"

Leaning against Demos's chest, Carette asked softly, her expression not as excited as his.

"What's wrong?"

"I went to the port just now when you weren't there and booked two tickets for Santorini early tomorrow morning. Kamidai, it's very beautiful there, and I haven't even looked at it since I was reincarnated......"

“......”

In the big and small things of daily life, Demos has become accustomed to listening to Carret's advice.

On a normal day, Demos would have raised his hands in favor of her proposal to go to Santorini, but now it was different!

In fact, Demos knew in his heart that Carette was reluctant to leave Greece, for whatever reason, for some people or not, she didn't want to leave at all.

Perhaps, she really just wanted to go to Santorini to enjoy the scenery. Perhaps, she is still looking for all kinds of excuses for not wanting to leave......

Now, how can she be persuaded to stay away from Greece as soon as possible?

Demos took Karet's arms and pulled their bodies apart for a small distance. In this distance, he carefully studied her face, and his handsome and deep eyes and indifferent smile all overflowed with a sense of tiredness.

He had already made a careful plan to take her to Malaysia to live in seclusion for a while, and also transferred some of his assets to a local bank, and the plane ticket was booked in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.
