Chapter 33: The Way Is Intercepted
"Miss Lachio, there is an outside call from you, do you want to transfer it?"
Carette picked up the microphone and put it to one ear, and the attendant of the switchboard operator asked a kind question.
During the days of staying in the human world, the total consumption of Carreta and her party in this hotel has been sent to the highest VIP level, so one of the special services opened by the staff for them is that the switchboard must ask for their consent in advance for the outside line transferred to their room.
Carette must have been called by Jose, and the relevant formalities should have been completed on his side.
"No problem, pick it up, thank you. Karette commanded the other end of the line.
"Good miss, have a nice evening!"
After a few seconds of music ringing through the microphone, a male voice is heard.
"How are you?"
The magnetic nature of the sound, which is rich in precipitation, is exclusive to Demos.
"......," Kareta panicked.
I really want to be whoever! Just now that I was reading him, his phone came after him. Could it be that there is really telepathy?
"I ...... I'm fine ......."
Blushing and her heart beating, Kareta stammered in reply.
"I was afraid that Jose would be embarrassed for you, so I called and asked......" On the other end of the line, Demos's voice sounded a little anxious.
"Hmm...... I'm fine, it's fine...... By the way, my phone is still in the same café as last time......" Kareta hesitated and replied, she guessed he must have called her phone first, and then called the hotel again. Since her last injury, she hasn't had time to go to the café to retrieve her purse.
"Your stuff is with me now. I brought it back for you when I went to the café to retrieve my credit card. I'll go see you tomorrow morning, and I'll bring it to you, okay?"
"No!
Kareta immediately refused. Tomorrow is the most critical day for her, not to mention that her brother Carmod has returned, and if she meets Demos, she will inevitably make a big fuss about the past. The main thing is that she doesn't need those things at all, and after escaping, she will have to change her identity and cut off all the humans and gods who know her, so she must discard the existing communication tools.
Hearing that Demos on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped moving, as if he was a little overwhelmed by her blunt refusal, she hurriedly explained:
"I've promised Jose tomorrow to accompany him out to buy groceries, and I need to go shopping all day, so ......"
"Got it!"
Without waiting for Carette to continue, Demos agreed, and his tone was crisp and crisp.
"That'...... I'll get back to you when I need to......"
"Okay! you can rest,...... Good night......"
Demos paused for two seconds, as if waiting for Carreta to say something, but she fell silent. So he hung up first.
The moment she put the receiver down, Carette felt a strong urge to meet Demos very, very much, for the last time in a limited time. And she wanted to tell him that she was going to leave Greece with Jose. But reason told her that such a thought was simply foolish.
A new life beckons to her in front of her, and she must break and forget the love that has never been broken in the past, and the people who cannot be forgotten. Human beings always say that life is sometimes cruel, cruel to always face all kinds of unpredictable choices, no matter how you choose, no matter whether the ending is sad or happy, the process of choosing is extremely difficult and painful.
This cruelty, Kareta thought, was true to humanity, and especially to an incompetent Titans like her—
——
Demos hung up the phone and was stunned on the sofa in the living room of the villa. He held his phone in his right hand, his eyes staring aimlessly at the coffee cup on the coffee table in front of him. Although his body did not move, his mind was constantly thinking.
Feeling that something was too wrong, Kareta wanted to speak and stopped, what the hell was going on-
......
At noon the next day, the three gods gathered at the restaurant, the second floor of the hotel, the same restaurant where Demos had invited Carette to set up a gamble with her with the love of Narcissus.
They chose a round table by the window, covered with a white rhombic tablecloth and a square glass bowl containing half of clear water and white pebbles and a few colored shells at the bottom. A unique floating candle swings on the surface of the clear water inside the lamp, the wax wick is burning, and the glimmer is a little light, but it is a wonderful decoration of the mood of dining.
From the moment she sat down, Kareta had noticed that the atmosphere was very strange and discordant, which made her feel uncomfortable. Peeking at Kamod and Bai Xiu, they were originally very good personal friends, and neither of them spoke much at the moment. Bai Xiu silently ate the food on his plate, and Kamod didn't seem to be too interested in the seafood cup he ordered, but swallowed a sip of beer frequently, obviously disagreeing with Bai Xiu.
In order to change the atmosphere, Carreta struggled to find a topic, so she asked Carmod:
"Brother, where did you go after you left?"
"Me?" said Calmod grinned, putting down the pot-bellied beer mug in his hand.
"I once searched for the Athena gem alone along the coast for a while, and then returned to the Holy Mountain without any result. ”
"What? You were staying at Olympus, why I'm so worried about you...... You're telling us peace!"
Karmad stared at Karette with a strange look of complexity, and that look seemed to be very proud, and finally caught something from her words that could be grasped. The stimulation of alcohol turned his originally white skin pink.
"You're worried about me, and you're going back to Olympus, you're going to be fighting the Dark God, right?"
"Dangchang"——
The fork shook off Carret's left hand, and she hurriedly picked it up again, her face full of nervousness and embarrassment, speechless at Kamod's questioning.
"You don't have to worry, the god of darkness is somewhat useful to Olympus anyway......"
Once again, Carmod's words felt unbelievable, and Carette looked at him in shock, and the voice of Pacius rang in her ears:
"Enough of the Kamod!"
Kamod turned his face to face Bai Xiu with a solemn face, and his arrogance did not subside, but became more arrogant.
"You two found the Athena gem early in the morning, why didn't you report it to the Holy Mountain? You guys...... What the hell are you planning?"
"Kamod, you're really here for the gem......"
Bai Xiu looked at Kamod's scrutinizing and suspicious gaze, and he was still calm and calm compared to Karet, who looked panicked.
"To be honest, Bai Xiu, this operation has completely changed the three of us, and your transformation is the most huge, I can't believe it......"
As he poured out the words, Karmad slowed down his speech as slowly as he spoke, turning his gaze to Carreta for a moment before returning to Perseus, as if intent on revealing something to him.
Bai Xiu was completely enraged by this small gesture of Kamod, his face was angry, and he raised the syllables by two levels, and he still paid more or less attention to the graduation in public, so that kind of loud voice did not attract the dissatisfaction of the other guests.
"I said you've had enough of Kamod! Shut up, I think you've drunk too much—"
"Huh...... It's you who don't believe in Olympus' strength. In that case, leave the matter of the gem to me, and you won't bother with it—"
Thermod drank the last beer at the bottom of his glass and stood up.
"Let's continue to enjoy the food, you're welcome, this is on my account today. ”
He turned his back to Kareta and Pasiu and waved goodbye, then walked away.
Of course, the remaining two gods had no desire or appetite to eat.
Karete's face turned pale, her hands trembling with her knife and fork, tears rolling in her eyes, and she was still feeling extremely aggrieved by the embarrassment that Kamod had deliberately given her.
"Brother...... What the hell happened to him...... He used to be gentle and easy-going......"
Bai Xiu looked in the direction of the door of the restaurant, and his expression was melancholy. He comforted Carret, and his tone was helpless:
"Karmad doesn't see us as members of the team anymore, leave his business to me!
......
It's finally time to leave-
Carreta deliberately delayed until the first half hour of the agreed time, thinking that it would never be too late to check out at the front desk and then arrive at the airport with the technique of "teleportation".
Yesterday before going to bed and this afternoon José called in to tell her that everything was OK on his side, which made Carette somewhat relieved.
Because of the last-minute decision, Jose could not book a ticket at all, so he had to buy a seat on the midnight red-eye flight on the same day. Greece and China are far apart, and Carreta doesn't know much about the location of the Jose family, so she definitely doesn't rush to use the spell of spatial movement regardless of the safety of the two of them.
After the formalities were completed at the front desk, she walked briskly out of the lobby revolving door. The streets at this time were not quiet, with crowds shuttling back and forth, and long queues of motor vehicles driving in the limited space of the four-phase block.
Kareta turned into the street garden next to the hotel, and stopped under the canopy of a tall tree around the corner.
She looked left and right, and when she made sure that there was no one around, she used the "teleportation" technique to get to the airport.
"Do you want to go out so late, Karete?"
A loud voice interrupted her spellcasting. She immediately looked in horror at the slender black shadow that was shining on the stone pavement in the moonlight.
In the distance, Kamod slowly paced closer, each foot falling and lifting in a calm and powerful rhythm, and he seemed unusually calm compared to his sister.
"Where are you going?"
He slanted at the suitcase that Carette was holding tightly in his hand and smiled coldly.
"I, I..."
As if her throat was frozen by his expression, she couldn't answer.
Kamod looked at the trunk again, and the handle of the trunk was disconnected horizontally in his mind spell, and the box flew into the air and fell to the ground and split in two, revealing the clothes and other items inside.
When the matter was revealed, Carette knew that she could no longer hide it, so she had to pray to Kamod.
"Brother, let me go, please!"
Carmod was even more arrogant, strode up and raised his hand decisively, slapped Kareta in the face, and then watched her stumble to the ground, clutching one of her swollen cheeks and looking at him in amazement.
