Chapter 11 The Resignation Turmoil

The moment she grasped the oracle's scepter, a strange, warm current rose from under Kareta's feet, swirling softly around her from the bottom up.

Her delicate skirt and beautiful long golden hair fluttered gracefully with this air current, accompanied by scattered crystal snowflakes, making her look like a noble god in the world.

"Rest assured, gods, I swear by the supreme glory of the Titans, and this life ...... We will fight for humanity and for the happiness and tranquility that we all hope for!"

Kareta felt filled with magical power, and many of the uneasy and cringing emotions in her heart were swept away. She held the oracle scepter, raised her chin slightly, and solemnly swore to the primordial spirits of several gods, her expression resolute and calm.

On the other side, the Yuan Spirits of the departed gods smiled with relief.

"Okay, okay! I'm up to you...... One last thing, Karete, is ...... for you."

As he said goodbye, the spirit of Hermes sent a final wave of thought:

"The great god Zeus has become completely different from before, and one day your father and daughter will meet, you must be careful!"

“...... I remembered ......"

Kareta nodded sadly. The white light emitted by the primordial spirits of several gods was getting fainter and fainter at the moment, and she knew that their existence was running out.

Athena's Yuan Ling looked at Jose and smiled with relief:

"Well, God has committed unforgivable sins against Troy and mankind on my behalf, and now I can finally atone for my sins......"

Venus's Yuan Ling looked at Karet, and his expression was sad and reluctant:

"Kareta, the time we have spent together in this life is so short...... May in the next life, we, the god Titans...... No more for destruction and harm!"

With expressions of affection and reluctance, the figures of the Yuan Spirits gradually dispersed in the send-off without crying.

May in the next life, we, the god Titans...... No longer born for destruction and harm—

Kareta stood in the snow with her staff in her hands, and in her head, Venus's sad voice kept repeating itself, piercing Karete's heart. She asked herself over and over again:

Yes, why do we choose to be born again?

In this life, who is paying the debt to whom? In the next life, who is ...... And to whom will it be owed?

Each stabilized his mood, and the four companions finally agreed:

Get out of now!

Carreta and Jose needed to go back to He's house to clean up, so they made an agreement with Percius and Artimis, and half an hour later, everyone gathered in this empty field, and set off together to find a hidden place to live. If they hid the aura of the source of divine power, stopped using spells, and lived like ordinary humans, they believed that Olympus would not be able to find out the whereabouts of them for a while.

——

"No, I don't agree with you leaving!"

In the Dutch family, Jose's mother vigorously opposed the news that her son had left again, and rushed forward to snatch the gift box of her son and Karete directly.

"With my old woman here, you can't go anywhere today!"

"Mom, what are you doing—"

Jose was furious, but he couldn't tell his parents the truth.

At this moment, Jose's parents seem to be in a more anxious state than Jose.

I can't ask why the two young men are leaving suddenly, where they are going, or even when they will return......

The old couple felt that everything was like a dream, one minute the family was still sitting together talking and laughing at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the next minute they were confused and traveled to the scene where their son and they said goodbye.

All the discontent finally exploded at this moment, and Carreta was naturally the focus of all contradictions.

Without much thought, Jose's mother decided that the reason for her son's sudden decision to leave must be related to this foreign girl, maybe it was her idea.

She and her two friends were Greeks, and their country had just had a major incident, and it was strange that they didn't remember their relatives and wanted to fly home at once!

Thinking of this, José's mother couldn't help but complain and accuse Carrete:

"I said, girl, which one are you two singing?"

has been in the north for many years, and Jose's mother has long been in the country, and her mouth is full of pure Beijing accent:

"Tell me yourself, since you lived in our house, our whole family has provided for you, and has never treated you badly, right? My old lady is afraid that you will not be used to eating and sleeping well, and she has wronged herself and wronged the child in your belly, and she has eaten and drunk well and served you every day. We never thought of asking you to give anything in return, but you can't eat and wipe clean, and then stick a knife in the hearts of our old two, right? Just after Chinese New Year's Eve, you are going to take Xiaoxi away, have you considered the mood of our old two!"

"Mom, what are you talking about!"

Jose heard that the old lady's words were not good, and without waiting for Carette to explain anything, he preemptively retorted:

"It was my idea, and it has nothing to do with Karete!"

"What did you think? You only go home a few times a year? When you insisted on going to Greece to study, we didn't want you to have regrets, so we let you go out as you wanted. But you met this woman, and finally returned to China in embarrassment, not to mention the abandonment of your studies, and got into trouble abroad, and you still listen to her and say leave...... Leave your parents behind......"

José's mother was filled with grief and cried as she spoke.

"Aunt......

Carette was so embarrassed that she wanted to comfort her, but when the words came to her lips, she was so embarrassed that she had to swallow back the words that were in her mouth.

Jose's father glanced at her in disgust, sighed sullenly, and said to his son:

"Xiaoxi, you come with me!"

Carreta watched as Jose followed his father into the study, and the two closed the door, not knowing what to say. Although she was worried that Jose would be blamed for her father, she did not dare to rush in and excuse Gojos, and she was very sad in her heart.

The living room was left with Jose's mother and a restless Carret.

José's mother sat on the couch for a few minutes, and the resentment in her heart gradually subsided. With her sideburns straightened, she once again communicates with a bewildered Carret. This time, her tone of voice was noticeably softer.

"Girl, I'm sorry I didn't have a good attitude just now, but you shouldn't have taken Xiaoxi and left without saying a word! Actually, I've been paying attention to you these days, and I always feel that you have something hidden in your heart and don't want to tell us.

You should know that my family has only one child, Konishi. Since he was admitted abroad, he hasn't stayed at home for a few days throughout the year. Our old couple is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally our son can live in a down-to-earth manner, but I didn't expect that just after the first day of the Lunar New Year, he would secretly leave with you and our old couple.

Child, you are also a woman who is about to become a mother, can you understand my feelings of being a mother?"

"Yes...... I can understand, I can understand ......."

Carette was infinitely sentimental by the old lady's earnest remarks, and her nose fluttered a few times, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

"For the sake of me taking care of you so wholeheartedly, girl, can you tell me the truth to my old lady today, what kind of trouble did you and Xiaoxi get into that you have to leave suddenly!?"

"Don't say that, aunt. If you are like this, you call me a junior...... I don't have the face to face you!"

Carreta did not dare to look at the old lady who was full of eager expectant eyes, and kept her head bowed, as if she had done a heinous wrong, and was prostrating her sins.

Isn't it a heinous and wrong thing to dump someone's son before, and now he wants to kidnap someone's son again......

Unable to bear the sadness of Jose's mother, Carette thought for a moment, and said intermittently:

"Auntie, I've gotten into a lot of trouble abroad, and I've got Jose involved. If you don't leave now, you're likely to be involved. After much discussion, Jose and I are going to leave quietly, we don't mean to make you and your uncle sad!"

"Girl, then let me ask you, what you said caused trouble, but you did the evil thing of killing people and setting fires?"

"Auntie, how is this possible?...... Probably you also know in China that Jose and I were framed in Greece and had a big scandal. It is said that this time the media is going to look for trouble again......"

In order to reassure Jose's mother, Carette made it up.

After listening to her explanation, Jose's mother's heart finally fell. With a relieved smile, she said:

"Since it's not murder and arson, breaking the law and discipline is not a big deal! Even if the sky falls, as long as the whole family is together, it is more important than anything else!"

"Aunt......

"Girl, you are still young, after all, I am still a person who has seen more things than you. I'm telling you, if one day the world ends, no one will be able to escape it. Instead of running away aimlessly and cowardly self-determination, it is better to be a family together, what to do, and enjoy the last time peacefully......"

"Aunt......

"I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say. Then I'll go and have breakfast first......"

José's mother got up and turned her head to look out the window at the sky.

At half past five o'clock in the morning, it was still very dark in Beijing.

"I've said everything I should say and shouldn't say. If you still want to leave, you have to wait until dawn! Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and according to the custom, it is a day for relatives and friends to walk around and worship each other. You can have another meal with our old couple and pay a New Year's greeting to Jose's father, and it's not too late to leave. ”

Karette looked up in surprise, only to see a lonely, slightly hunched figure walking slowly to the kitchen.

At this moment, Kareta was completely choked, and her tired heart overflowed with indescribable emotion.

Auntie, your family is all kind and good people. I will definitely use my life to protect your whole family and all good human beings from the calamity......

......

"Xiaoxi, you still have her in your heart, right?"

In the study, Jose's father sat down and asked his son straight to the point.

José, of course, knew who his father's "she" was referring to, so he replied firmly:

"Yes, I love her, my heart will always belong to her!"

"Even if she betrayed you, even if she was pregnant with someone else's child like she is now, you will not waver in your inner choice?"

"Yes!" José looked directly at his father, still nodding vigorously:

"Dad, you and Mom have been living in China, and you haven't been in it for a long time, so you won't understand Karete's distress at all. I never resented her decision, and I would never change my feelings for her because of it. Now that she is in trouble, she needs someone by her side to take care of her and support her. Even if she still won't accept me in the future, I will stay by her and her children like a relative, and care for them......"

"Hey, stinky boy! Usually silent, at the critical moment, there is really a bit of Beijing gentlemen's righteous and honest energy!"

After listening to his son's heartfelt words, the "old stubborn" who was nearly fifty years old was inexplicably sentimental.

He smiled bitterly and patted his son on both shoulders.

Looking at his son's young and handsome face, he felt that his son had really grown up and matured. As his father, this man of culture, who had always acted seriously and rigidly, suddenly felt extremely proud.

"Dad, believe me, Kareta is a good woman, you and Mom should stop being prejudiced against her. The son is not filial and cannot bring any wealth and glory to our family, I only hope that you and your mother can spend their old age in peace and no longer add trouble to your two elders. ”

"What are you talking about! Son, when you reach my age, you will truly understand the heart of a parent! Your happiness is the greatest wish of the elderly. The family will always be together, whether rich or poor, it is the most satisfying life!"

Jose's father was so excited that he couldn't say any more, so he quickly got up from his desk and turned his back to José and waved:

"There you go...... Don't forget to report peace to your family when you settle down......"

José silently walked to the door and turned quietly, only to see his father secretly wiping the corners of his eyes.
