Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 257 Xiaohong: Unforgivable

"This is really...tsk!" Medici made a "tsk" sound, his expression at this moment was quite complicated, like hatred, relief, and also some mockery and helplessness.

Medici then closed his eyes. A few seconds later, when he opened them again, his ruby-red eyes had returned to normal. Medici looked at Luo Lin and praised him, "You've done something truly remarkable."

"What do you mean by rare? Don't you think I've done enough?" Luo Lin looked at him with dissatisfaction and retorted, "Even if nothing else, I saved you. How can you say that about your benefactor?"

"Of course I'm very grateful to my benefactor, but I'm being merciful by not stabbing my boss who made me work 240 hours of overtime." Medici raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile, and looked at Luo Lin and said:

"It's a good thing that I'm now a spiritual being, otherwise I'm afraid the first angel to die suddenly in this world would have appeared."

"Ahem..." Luo Lin suddenly felt guilty. He looked left and right, and finally muttered softly, "So I'm asking for compensation from you..."

"What compensation?" Medici asked him suspiciously.

"Well, I just had a chat with Adam 2.0 about you." Luo Lin looked at him with a smile and said, "So He decided to come and apologize to you."

Medici's pupils constricted at this moment. He instinctively took a half step back, bumping into the chair behind him before stopping. He looked at Luo Lin in surprise and said, "Apologize...?"

"After all, it was He who did the wrong thing. It was fine if He was just a machine before, but now that He has become human, of course He has to apologize!" Rowling said as a matter of course. Then he thought of something else, looked at Medici, and added very solemnly:

"Of course, I know you're obsessed with the Sun God. I'm sure you'll forgive Him once He apologizes, but you have to remember that you're now my tool. You can't change jobs."

"Ha!" Medici almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He didn't know if he was angry or what. He then looked at Rowling, took out an apple from somewhere, and took a big bite.

"Click——"

Medici was chewing an apple when he suddenly felt his arm touched. He turned his head and found that Rowling was looking at him and making a gesture to ask for something.

"I've been helping you sort out the documents for so long that I'm starving. Give me one too." Luo Lin said righteously.

"Tsk, you'll just starve to death!" Medici sneered, then took out another apple from under the table and threw it to Rowling.

So there were two people eating apples in the study.

After Medici finished chewing the apple, he took out a cigarette from somewhere, lit it, and put it in his mouth. After taking a sip of the strong mint flavor, Medici suddenly choked, coughed a few times, and seemed to curse under his breath. Then he looked at Luo Lin and said unhappily, "When did you change my cigarettes?"

"Of course, when I came here. After all, I don't like to be exposed to secondhand smoke." Luo Lin spread his hands and looked at Medici earnestly, "Xiaohong, you must know that smoking is harmful to your health. Be careful of lung cancer."

"Heh!" Although Medici didn't know what lung cancer was, he could probably guess what it was. He sneered, but didn't put away the mint cigarette in his hand. Instead, he took another puff before looking at Luo Lin and saying,

"I'm sorry, if I died early, it would definitely be because of a sudden death while working for you. There is absolutely no other possibility."

Luo Lin then lowered his head guiltily again.

Medici was smoking a mint cigarette, and when it was half burned, he suddenly said, "I will never forgive Him." Rowling turned his head to look at him.

"Regardless of the situation, betrayal is a fact. I understand why He acted that way. Perhaps it's because He truly has no emotions, so He chose a ruthless approach that was in His best interest."

Medici did not continue smoking, but held the cigarette between his fingers, letting the white smoke float upwards, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Now He has emotions and humanity. Perhaps He realizes the mistakes of His past actions, and perhaps He truly feels sorry for me," Medici continued. "But so what? Does His apology mean everything is over?"

Medici suddenly revealed a mocking smile, not knowing who he was mocking. "I'm not a very generous person. I can't write off everything just because of an apology."

Luo Lin listened quietly. He looked at Medici, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "But you no longer have any murderous intentions towards Him. Perhaps, you never had any."

Medici paused, finally stubbed out the mint cigarette in his hand, then glanced at Luo Lin, his whole body as sharp as a sword just unsheathed, and said, "If you can talk, then talk more."

"Don't be angry, Xiaohong, it's not a big deal. Isn't it just love and hate, inseparable? It's normal. I've seen a lot of this kind of feelings. For example, a famous Gotham father-loving king, Mr. Red Bucket, probably has a lot in common with you." Rowling was not afraid of him and said with a smile.

"Who?" Medici glanced at him and motioned him to tell the details.

Rowling immediately began to tell him about the love, hate and vengeance of a famous bat family.

After listening to this, Medici suddenly said, "This Batman you're talking about, he adopted a group of children, made them wear tights when they were still minors, and took them to fight crime... Is he really a serious person?"

Although Medici is a born mythical creature, due to Sasriel's teachings, Medici's values are still very positive in a sense.

"Well, why don't you look at yourself and then look at the sun god?" Rowling looked at him with a smile.

Medici suddenly fell silent. Batman took minors wearing tights to fight crime, and many of the eight angel kings around the ancient sun god had actually been brought up by him since childhood, and each of them was given a special effect wing - as everyone knows, normal angels in the mysterious world do not have wings, but the eight angel kings have them, so it is obvious how these wings came about.

"So you see, that's why I said you two have a lot in common!" Luo Lin spread his hands and said confidently.

Medici glanced at him, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous.

"Don't look like you're going to hit me, boss. I'm also working under two different identities right now, so I'm very busy!" Rowling said this, finally feeling confident about the matter. He then looked at Medici and asked, "So, what are you going to do with Adam now?"

"Of course, beat Him up and then hang Him from a streetlight..." Medici glanced at him and repeated Roland's previous idea. Then, he raised his lip and said, "Originally, He had no humanity at all. I thought doing this would not have any effect on Him, but now..."

Since we already have human nature, we should also have a sense of shame.

Luo Lin blinked, then said excitedly: "How about I get Amon to form a band and play music and sing beside us?"
