Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 124 Sasriel, do you love your children?

Sasriel smiled at Luo Lin and said, "Mr. Luo Lin, I'll leave Medici in your care from now on. He may not speak very nicely, but he's actually a good person. I hope you can understand."

At this moment, Saslier was like a mother entrusting her child to someone else.

Rowling blinked. He could certainly hear the hidden meaning in Sasriel's words. Even Rowling was a little surprised at this moment. He looked up at Sasriel and said with a smile, "Of course I don't mind taking care of Medici for Mr. Sasriel, but..."

He paused here before continuing, "Have you really thought it through? I'm very greedy. Once something goes into my pocket, I can't take it out casually."

"Although I'm reluctant to let go of Medici, I'm well aware that under the current circumstances, if I continue to force him to stay, it will only cause pain to both sides and prevent the rift from being healed." Sasriel sighed and said, "Rather than that, it's better to let him go quickly. This will benefit both sides."

His dark eyes met Luo Lin's, and then he smiled gently, saying, "At least Mr. Luo Lin, you are our ally. I can rest assured in entrusting him to you."

"So cunning!" Rowling laughed. He looked at Sasriel again and said, "You really care about me, and you're using me. For you, a half-crippled, no longer-loyal Red Angel is much more useful to me than to keep him by your side. You can use him as a chess piece by my side, help Medici recover better, and win my favor. It's basically a win-win-win situation. You're better at business than I am!"

Sasriel didn't show any obvious emotion upon hearing this. He simply said, "I don't deny what you said. It's certainly within my consideration."

Luo Lin immediately poked Medici next to him and whispered, "Look, look, your mother admitted that she doesn't love you at all!"

Medici rolled his eyes in annoyance. As a conspirator, he could certainly see through Sasriel's considerations.

In fact, Medici didn't care too much about these things. He was not a naive person and could fully understand Sasriel's apparently win-win-win arrangement. Medici was never afraid of being used, but he just couldn't accept complete abandonment and betrayal like Adam.

In fact, if Adam had clearly revealed his identity and the reason why he had to do so, Medici might not have accepted the other party's arrangement to "die". Compared to death, what Medici could not accept more was betrayal itself.

Medici just glanced at Luo Lin unhappily and said, "Didn't someone say before that he didn't care whether feelings were exploitation or deception? Why is he acting like a pure girl who can't stand being exploited now?"

Luo Lin smiled and said, "So you really do regard Sasriel as your mother, Xiaohong."

Medici: ...

Shit! I got fooled.

Sasriel quietly watched their interaction, then revealed a slightly distressed smile and said, "So you've always thought of me as your mother, Medici?"

Medici suddenly felt a stomachache at this moment. He glared at Rowling before looking at Sasriel and saying, "You know he's talking nonsense."

"It's just that I haven't seen you like this for a long time, so I couldn't help but tease you a little." Sasriel showed a gentle smile, but it revealed a corner of his true nature. Obviously, the Dark Angel was probably closer to White Cut Black than Pure White.

Medici almost rolled his eyes.

Damn, if everyone in the world is a joker, the world is over!
Sasriel's expression then became more serious, and he said, "Although I am not qualified to be a mother, if you, Medici, are willing to take me as your guardian, I don't mind." Medici was suddenly speechless. The Red Angel, who was always eloquent, didn't know what to say at this moment.

"So it turns out she's still a male mother!" Luo Lin concluded, and then his expression became serious. He said:
"Now, Mr. Saslier, the male mother, do you love your child?"

Medici's body froze at this moment. He wanted to curse Rowling for asking such a stupid question, but he couldn't help but look at Sasriel, wondering what answer he would give to this question.

"I don't have only one child." Sasriel's gaze was gentle yet firm. He first looked at Medici before looking at Rowling. "But I think so. I love my children, no matter which one they are."

Rollin immediately applauded the seals.

Medici looked as stiff as a stone. It was hard to imagine that the Red Angel would be in such a state. He looked like a child who was at a loss after being praised, or like he had eaten some magical mushrooms and saw an unbelievable scene.

"But why can't it be the father?" Sasriel raised his objection. "I don't look like I have any gender that could be mistaken."

"But we've already chosen the father!" Rowling glanced at Sasriel matter-of-factly and said, "Grisha is the standard savior-type father. With him as the father, Sasriel, of course you can only be the mother."

"And..." Luo Lin blinked and said, "You are Eve!

Sasriel's smile seemed to carry a hint of helplessness. He shook his head, as if compromising, and said, "Okay, I respect your wishes."

Luo Lin seemed to know something and asked excitedly, "Mr. Saslier, there is actually something I have always been curious about."

"What's the matter?" Sasriel looked at him puzzled.

"Have you really been working overtime?" Luo Lin asked seriously.

Even Sasriel was stunned at this moment, probably not expecting Rowling's train of thought to be so jumpy. He paused for half a second, then nodded and said:

"As the Vice-King of Heaven, I need to handle most of Heaven's affairs on behalf of the Lord. I guess I'm always working overtime."

Rowling immediately showed an expression of pity, and said seriously: "This is too unfair, Sasriel. We are both creators, how can you handle most of the things!" His tone was even a little indignant.

"But I am the Lord's incarnation. The meaning of my existence is to take care of these things for the Lord." Sasriel explained.

"Even if it's a clone, it should have human rights!" Luo Lin said confidently. "Although times have changed, Mr. Saslier, you can't forget the eight-hour workday and the two-day weekend! You have to fight for your rights. Otherwise, if you're in such a mess, how busy will the people under you be? You have to set an example for them!"
