Chapter 156: Athena Hopper (3)
***
“That’s why you and I are going to fight.”
Damien, who was having breakfast at his quarters, heard a sudden voice.
“Let’s meet tonight without delay. Come out to the open space in the center then.”
In the sudden situation, Damien could only stare blankly at Athena after stopping chewing the food he had put in his mouth.
“Oh, and by the way, I knocked down all the other guys? So if you just beat me, you win the bet. Of course, that won’t happen.”
After saying that, Athena turned around and left.
It wasn’t until Athena had gone quite a distance that Damien was able to come to his senses.
“What the hell is going on all of a sudden?”
After Neil challenged him yesterday, he had expected the other first-generation purebloods to challenge him one by one.
However, he didn’t expect Athena to come after defeating the other purebloods.
“She’s just like the Mercenary King.”
That was the way she was so pushy. The Mercenary King had also come out of nowhere and hired Damien as a freelancer, hadn’t he?
Just as he was about to focus on his meal again.
The door of the tent was opened and the Mercenary King entered. He had dark circles under his eyes, indicating that something had happened overnight.
“...Damien, let’s talk.”
Saying that the Mercenary King collapsed into the seat in front of Damien.
Damien looked at the Mercenary King like that and started eating the stew.
“You have no manners. Don’t you even ask if an adult has eaten?”
“Have you eaten?”
“I have. You don’t even ask now.”
The Mercenary King grumbled. Then he glanced at Damien and muttered.
“What’s so handsome about that face... I’m going crazy.”
“So why are you here?”
“Athena just came and went, right?”
Damien nodded as he swallowed his food.
“I’ll make it short. Give up the duel.”
Damien looked at the Mercenary King with a surprised face.
“Are you threatening me like this because you will lose the bet if I beat Athena?”
“What nonsense! Why would I threaten you when you’re obviously going to lose if you fight!”
The Mercenary King frowned and got angry.
“Then why are you asking me this favor?”
“That’s... because... ugh...”
The Mercenary King took a deep breath.
“...Athena is interested in you.”
Damien almost spit out the food in his mouth.
“...What are you talking about right now.”
“I didn’t want to say this either! But what can I do when it’s true!”
The Mercenary King shouted angrily and shook his head in dismay.
“Damn... why did that cute girl... with a guy like you...”
“You seem to have forgotten. That guy is listening to everything right in front of you.”
“The lucky thing is that it’s still just interest. It’s just that she’s paying a little attention. So don’t get too excited!”
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of doing that because of something like this.”
At those words, the Mercenary King’s eyes widened twice.
“This guy now... He’s just saying whatever he wants because he has a loose mouth! My daughter is interested, and you’re saying it’s something like this?”
“Just one thing, just one thing.”
Among them, the largest was the one that MacDowell Hopper belonged to.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Claire Fowler.”
A middle-aged woman greeted Damien.
Claire Fowler.
She was the Mercenary King’s first woman and the mother of his first son.
And she was the leader of the largest faction within the mercenary group.
“Please have a seat. We can’t keep a distinguished guest standing.”
Damien sat down and observed Claire Fowler.
On the surface, she looked like a very kind middle-aged woman.
“I’m not sure if I should be here.”
The place Claire Fowler invited Damien to was where the Mercenary King’s lovers stayed.
Damien was in the Golden District.
“It’s only forbidden to enter without permission. Invited guests are fine. Of course, it’s not okay to be alone.”
There were not only Damien and Claire Fowler in the tent now.
There was MacDowell and another woman.
The woman was staring at Damien with a very unpleasant face.
‘Master Class, huh.’
He could tell right away because she didn’t hide her aura. That woman was definitely a Master Class.
“Why did you ask me to come here?”
“You seem to be a hasty person. Shall we get to the point then?”
Claire Fowler gestured. The female Master Class threw a pouch in front of Damien.
Damien opened the pouch and checked the contents. It contained three black pills.
“These are special potions made by the Alchemy Guild. Even one pill will greatly increase your mana.”
Damien looked at the pills and asked.
“Why are you giving this to me?”
“I want you to step on Athena.”
Damien raised his head and looked at Claire Fowler. She still had a gentle expression on her face.
“From what I’ve learned, you’re very interested in the mercenary company. You know a little about the situation of the mercenary company, right?”
“I heard that the factions are competing for the successor position.”
“You are well informed.”
Claire Fowler sighed and said.
“Even so, there are many competitors. And suddenly, the Mercenary King is protecting that child? Do I need to tell you how unpleasant that is for me?”
Damien didn’t answer. Claire Fowler didn’t seem to be expecting an answer either.
“So this time, I want to see that child being humbled... Well, I heard that she knocked MacDowell out in one breath?”
“Grandmother, that’s...”
“Can’t you shut up?”
Claire Fowler said in a sharp voice. MacDowell shut his mouth.
“You came back after losing like an idiot, so what are you butting in for?”
Just like the gentle face from before was a lie, Claire’s eyes were as eerie as a snake’s.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Let’s continue the story... Athena’s talent is more than I thought, isn’t it? But I really want you to win.”
“So you gave me this?”
Damien said, looking at the pills. Claire Fowler smiled and nodded.
“I like things to be certain. This is a gift, so you don’t have to feel burdened.”
Damien laughed at her words.
How could he not feel burdened?
These pills were made with dark magic.
