The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 228 Apollo, you don't want to either… (3.8k)_2

After that, he threw down the shepherd's whip in his hand and buried his head as he rushed out of the meadow.

"Stop!"

Luo En rushed forward, grabbed the furious Apollo, and blocked his mouth that wanted to curse.

"I risked coming here to tell you all this because I thought you, as the father of Asclepius and the brother of Artemis, had the right to know the answer. It's not so you can rashly seek your own death!"

Due to his own stubborn nature, Apollo struggled fiercely, unable to contain his anger.

"Get out of the way!"

"No!"

Luo En firmly held his brother-in-law in place and warned with a cold huff.

"I don't care about your life or death, but if you, during your punishment, remain unrepentant and thus offend His Majesty the King of Gods, what will you do about your mother, your sister?"

"..."

Hearing "sister" and "mother," the enraged Apollo finally regained his senses, the color drained from his eyes, and his body gradually stopped struggling.

However, his face had already lost its former spirit, like a noble son who had fallen from the clouds to become a mere street vagabond, bullied by everyone, despondently squatting on the ground and muttering sadly.

"It's me, I dragged him into this..."

Luo En bent down and sat beside him, patting Apollo's shoulder with a sympathetic face, saying nothing.

However, his heart was rejoicing.

That's right, that's right, keep thinking that way!

Zeus was just giving you a warning through the death of Asclepius.

After all, this event just happened as you are about to be released from punishment.

While a certain scheming brother-in-law was continuously fueling his brother-in-law's fire, a breeze picked up around them, causing the grass and leaves nearby to rustle.

Tsk, I was only playing around a bit, and here you are, unable to sit still, still claiming you don't care...

Upon hearing that predetermined frequency, Luo En mockingly thought, then changed his expression to a more tactful one.

"Actually, you don't have to be too sad about Asclepius's affair; nor should you harbor thoughts of revenge against His Majesty the King of Gods..."

Everything else was unimportant.

Watching Apollo's complexion gradually improving, Luo En's gaze flickered, he reminded in a low voice.

"He is already dead by the hand of His Majesty the King of Gods. If someone discovers that he is still alive, you should know the consequences..."

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, Apollo's heart chilled, and he nodded repeatedly.

However, at the same time, doubts inevitably arose in his mind, needing answers from the other party.

"How would you know about Asclepius..."

"It was your sister..."

Luo En glanced at Apollo, his eyes deep with meaning.

"Ever since you killed Pan and caused great trouble, getting exiled by His Majesty the King of Gods to Thessaly afterwards, Artemis has been worried about your stubborn temperament, expecting you'd run into major trouble soon!"

So, she specifically commissioned me and the Nine Muses to visit you, to prevent you from bringing calamity upon yourself. Unexpectedly, not only did you take it ungraciously, you continued as you were, transferring the resentment of being punished by His Majesty Zeus and attacked by the Gigantes onto others, causing the Nine Muses to leave angrily, unwilling to serve as your Lesser Deities anymore;

Thus, as your sister, Artemis had no choice but to clean up your mess. She first negotiated through me and the Goddess of Memory to stabilize the Nine Muses, minimizing the impact of this incident. Then she rushed to Thessaly.

—She knew your temperament, you would never bow your head easily even if you knew you were wrong. Therefore, she spared no effort to play the villain, using the death of the King of Thessaly to force you to agree, hoping to temper your arrogance and character, to prevent you from making bigger mistakes during your downfall.

But after all the calculations, you still showed no signs of repentance, bringing trouble that continually involved Asclepius..."

At this point, Luo En changed his tone, speaking with a bit of relief.

"It's also fortunate that Artemis was considerate, fearing that your temperament would sooner or later lead to major errors, so she had me look out for Asclepius more during your time of service. Otherwise today, you really would only be lighting incense and piling up a burial mound for your beloved son."

After hearing this third-party recount from Luo En, Apollo's handsome cheeks gradually turned red with shame, even beginning to feel quite disgraced.

To aid and educate her younger brother, sister Artemis truly suffered greatly.

And yet, he repeatedly put her in difficult positions.

Even harboring grievances against her due to his good friend Admetos's affair.

I am such a jerk!

Seeing the proud young brother-in-law fiercely slapping his own face in guilt, Luo En knew that the good character card he had sent on behalf of Artemis was now unshakeable, the minor rift between siblings completely healed, their affection now stronger than before.
