In the studio, Professor Eugene knew very well what Demos was trying to do when he was unhappy about his intentions in breaking into his teaching area.

Recently, this arrogant man is being haunted by various scandals and negative ~ news created by his fiancée, and the purpose of this visit is categorically not to visit him.

Sure enough, Demos did not give Professor Eugene face, and bluntly said to him:

"I'm sorry, I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for your student Jose!"

Demos said coldly as he swept over everyone in the studio with a fierce gaze, searching for a target on his own.

"Uh...... He didn't come to class today. Let's go, let's talk outside......"

Professor Eugene was aware of Demos's temper and was afraid that he would make trouble in his lecture hall and affect his reputation among the students, so he beckoned him to go outside the studio.

"Since Jose is gone, I take my leave!"

Demos took Sa Xun's gaze, quickly glanced at Professor Eugene's somewhat aging face, turned and hurried out of the studio, no second nonsense to him.

On the way out, Demos took out his phone and pulled up his address book, then moved his thumb to lock on the number named "Jose" and pressed the dial button on the screen.

The signal was quickly connected, and the prompt sounded for a long time, and just when Demos was impatient to give up, the call was finally picked up by the person on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, senior, you and I haven't talked on the phone for more than half a year!"

A laugh of "Jose" came from the earpiece, and Demos stopped when he heard this.

"I want to see you, where are you now?" he asked directly into the microphone, his tone was simply decisive.

"See me......?"

Jose's laughter sounded fake, like a strange sound squeezing out of his throat that made Demos frown.

"Tell me, where the hell are you now! I'll go to you right away! Let's talk!"

"Are you stupid or stupid? Last time I was beaten by you, half my life was gone, and I just healed from my injuries and ran out to eat your losses?"

"Don't beat around the bush, tell me what the hell do you want!"

Seeing that "Jose", who had been beaten by himself, was now learning well and refused to show his head easily, Demos did not waste time, and directly questioned the microphone.

“...... What do you mean?"

On the other end of the phone, "Jose" paused slightly, and then continued to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

"Don't talk nonsense—come on, how the hell are you going to let Kareta go-"

Demos was enraged, and shouted at "Jose" on the other end of the microphone in a muffled voice.

"Mom, senior! My ears can't stand it! Don't get excited, don't shout! relax, relax!"

"Tell me! What do you want? Why do you want to betray your and her past to the media? I can give you money if you want it, but you will not be allowed to appear in my life and her life again!"

Demos was so angry that he didn't want to talk to "Jose" for too long, so he directly offered conditions.

"Hehe, senior, you are really generous! But don't forget, money can't buy everything for you, especially a woman's sincere ......"

"Jose's" voice overflowed with a hint of playfulness, as if he did not appreciate the temptation shown by Demos. After a pause for two seconds, he continued to say confidently:

"I'm really inferior to you if I'm rich, but when it comes to the true relationship with Karete, I don't lose to you!"

"What did you say—"

Demos still couldn't suppress the fire, but he didn't know that his emotional agitation had been led into a psychological trap by the other party.

"You must have forgotten who Carreta came to the human world for, have you? I had an appointment with her in my previous life, and it was you who forcibly snatched her away from me for shameful purposes! She is for Olympus, for the sake of the Athena Jewel, she has to stay by your side. The man she loves has always been me, otherwise, she wouldn't have decided to elope with me in the first place, so she and I would do something uncontrollable when we see her again!"

“......”

Suddenly, Demos was speechless, and his right palm, which was holding his phone, trembled violently.

She's for Olympus, she's got to stay with you for the sake of Athena!

Among the gushing statements of "Jose", only this sentence is the most crucial. It struck Demos in the hot chest like a sharp and eerie arrow, shattering all his pride and pride.

He stood dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.

"Hey, senior, are you okay? senior, to be honest, I really don't want to continue to fight with you, you and I have a pretty good relationship. In fact, the solution to all the contradictions is very simple, I just want Kareta to come back to me, that's all! If you really love her, you should give her back her freedom instead of trapping her......"

Demos hung up the phone silently with a calm head, and stopped listening to "Jose" and continued to talk at length. He stood quietly in the open field outside the main building of the graduate school in the green semi-ring, under the shade of the mottled and swaying trees, his straight and independent figure seemed particularly rare.

The man, the man who had just been talking to me on my phone...... Is it really Jose -

Standing in the breeze for a moment, Demos had more and more questions in his mind.

Before leaving Olympus for the Human Realm, Carette had a personal friendship with Jose for several years. In his memory, José was always a humble and straightforward young man.

Why does he appear to be sharp today? Just through the exchange of words, that aggressive momentum has been exposed? Moreover, ......

Demos filtered every word that "Jose" had just said in his mind, and after his thoughts were pulled, he gradually shifted his direction.

Will Carretta's love for me change because of Jose's return...... I'm still not the only man in her heart......

Demos looked up at the cloudless blue sky with a sorrowful face, and the lake of his heart, which had been disturbed by all kinds of burdens for a long time, once again stirred up a wave.

He hadn't forgotten the contraceptive pill episode before, and at that time he had been worried, fearing that the union between Carette and him was directly related to the Athena gem. Not only that, but he was even more afraid that the day Jose returned to Greece would be the moment when Carreta chose to leave him resolutely-

Now, the two things that Demos is most worried about...... It really happened together-

Although Carette had shown true love for him at the engagement ceremony, and Cali had a promise to him after seeking power, Demos still had to admit that in terms of love alone, Carette had a place for Jose while still having him in her heart. This position will never be extinguished, and I am afraid that at some point in the future, the space of this location that only belongs to Jose will expand infinitely, and then it will completely exclude Demos from Carette's inner world-

"Brother Black!"

A loud cry came from Professor Eugene, sounding loudly from behind Demos. Taking a few steps closer, he held up a white-skinned palm and patted Demos on the shoulder.

Undoubtedly, the completion of this action was difficult for the fat old man, who had a certain gap in height with Demos, but despite this, it was still able to barely drag Demos's drifting soul back to his body.

"Oh...... Professor Eugene ...... "Demos turned to look at the fat man beside him, and then said embarrassedly:

"I didn't come at the right time to delay your class, right?"

"It's okay, I let the students practice on their own. I understand you very well, people who engage in art should have a kind of madness and impulsiveness in their bones, just like Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci!"

"You're ...... Don't mess with me. Demos's smile was far-fetched and full of bitterness.

"Come on, I'm serious about telling you. Alright, let's go sit on the bench over there. ”

As he spoke, Professor Eugene led Demos to a white lacquered bench with a low shrub, and the two sat down side by side.

Professor Eugene took out a well-carved tin cigarette case from his jacket pocket, opened it, and handed the neatly coded coffee-colored cigarette sticks to Demos.

"Here, smoke one. ”

"...... here?"

Demos was surprised to know that most of the places on campus were non-smoking areas.

Professor Eugene smiled slyly, and one eye suddenly and mysteriously squeezed towards Demos.

"It's okay, sometimes we all have to learn to be flexible......"

As he spoke, he first pinched a cigarette in his mouth, picked up the second and stuffed it into Demos's hand, and then reached for the metal lighter.

"Knock" on the ground, after the clear sound of the lighter's flip cover, the two cigarettes were lit by the orange flame one after the other.

The gentle smell of tobacco spread out as wisps of green smoke floated, swirling between the bodies of the two.

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Professor Eugene looked away and said slowly:

"Blake, I know you have a grudge against me for deliberately embarrassing your fiancée last time. In fact...... I do take some responsibility for her overboard......"

Demos didn't say anything, silently took a few puffs of cigarette, flicked the cigarette ash with the index finger of the right hand that was holding the cigarette, and then watched the few gray crumbs dissipate in the air with the wind.

"Actually, I didn't mean it at the time. Even now, I just want to warn you with great certainty that beautiful girls always have one or another advantage in love, but when it comes to marriage, they are sometimes not the most suitable candidates. ”

"Carreta is...... The love of my life...... No matter what, I will not change my determination to marry her. ”

Demos knew that what Professor Eugene had just said was indeed a well-intentioned consolation, so he replied to him lightly, and his night-like eyes looked at the empty campus in front of him, and a pair of unwavering straight eyes seemed to be a unique portrayal of his resolute and unchanging heart.
