The Warrior of Love

"Do you know how many adventurers there are on this street? How many families have you offended?"

Jiang Liu frowned: "You are a goddess after all, don't show such an ugly face. Do you think I will back down if you threaten me with such words? You are my enemy - you admitted it yourself, and now you regret it?"

How do I know you’re so crazy—Ishtar’s face turned livid.

"Wait! Your name is 'Hercules' right?"

Ishtar said something hurriedly, causing Jiang Liu to stop.

"Who are you, Hera?"

"Hera..."

Jiang Liu was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Sure enough..." Ishtar's eyes flashed with understanding, "You are Hera's "child", right? That woman has been driven out for so many years, and finally couldn't help wanting to come back?"

Does mother-in-law want to come back?

No, maybe this person misunderstood something?

Jiang Liu looked strange: "Aren't you here to deal with me for the golden apple? How did it get involved with my mother-in-law?"

"Mother-in-law? That goddess actually allowed you to call her that?"

Ishtar looked incredulous. "A person can only eat the golden apple once. Although it is very precious to the gods, it is useless to have more. I don't want to deal with you for this. I just want to stop Hera from returning."

After these words were spoken, Jiang Liu's expression became even stranger. Unexpectedly, Ishtar thought he was playing dumb and became angry instead.

"What are you still pretending for now?"

Ishtar said indignantly: "You left with such a disheartened look, but you secretly trained such a warrior. That woman Hera must want to enter Orario again through you, right?!"

"Um, actually—"

"Don't try to deceive me, I have seen through your conspiracy!"

"Okay, okay, you're right, okay?"

Chapter 186: I am a reasonable person

Hera was driven out of Orario - Jiang Liu only had a vague impression of this incident. After all, he didn't know much about this in his previous life, and she never mentioned it after being adopted by Hera.

If the mother-in-law really wants to return to Orario, then Jiang Liu will of course choose to stand on her side, even if it means becoming an enemy of the entire Orario clan.

But he thought he knew his mother-in-law very well, and that the goddess did not have similar thoughts. She was really discouraged or had lost her ambition.

Ishtar is like a victim with paranoid delusions. She stubbornly believes that Hera will come back sooner or later and take revenge on people like her, so she will also target Jiang Liu who is related to Hera.

But in Jiang Liu's opinion, this was really an unprovoked disaster...

"Where are Aisha and the fox man?"

Jiang Liu suddenly asked: "Did she betray me?"

He asked this question with murderous intent. After all, he only had gratitude and no hatred towards the two female adventurers. It was already very good that he did not ask them to repay him. If they repaid kindness with hatred, Jiang Liu would be really angry.

"Ayesha?"

Ishtar was stunned for a moment, then showed a hint of disdain.

"So that's what you think. No wonder... But Aisha didn't betray you."

"Oh?"

“She just said your name, that’s all. I pressed her for other information about you, such as your abilities and equipment, but she sensed something and rejected me.

During this time, I have been imprisoning her in the dungeon as punishment."

Jiang Liu frowned, seeming a little surprised by the answer.

Ishtar continued, "I was surprised. After all, I had taught this guy a lesson before. He always obeyed my orders and instinctively didn't dare to resist me. But this time, he kept his mouth shut...

It took me a lot of effort to pry her open, get information about the white-haired kid, and find your clan."

Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ishtar with an increasingly unfriendly look.

"You should know that you are not a good person, right?"

Jiang Liu said calmly: “Since the beginning of the war, I have never really killed anyone, because most people here may not know what you have done, but they are standing against me just because they are your family members.

They probably didn't even know who I was, and were confused by the fight, so I didn't kill anyone, I just deprived them of their ability to move - but you are different.

You are not only my enemy, but also not a good person... In such a big amusement street, don't tell me there is no one who forces women into prostitution. In addition, you also colluded with the dark faction to attack us... This is enough reason."

"Yeah, I'm not a good person!"

Ishtar retorted loudly: "But the goddess behind you, is she a good person? Do you know why she was driven out of Orario? Do you know how many of her clans were destroyed because of her? Do you know what that woman has done?

Even now, there are still many gods and clans in this city who are hostile to and hate her. This cause and effect will never be resolved before Hera returns to heaven!"

Hearing this, Jiang Liu fell silent, while Ishtar became more and more excited.

“Yes, even if you destroy my clan, you can’t bring that goddess back. There are more clans waiting ahead. Even Freya and Loki can’t give up the throne to Hera. That would be tantamount to denying their previous achievements.

Hahaha, this is just the beginning. You have to continue to accept the trials of other families. Be mentally prepared, Hercules - Hera's child!"

"Uh..." Jiang Liu looked down at Ishtar who was sitting on the ground in a mess, his eyes deep and bright.

He had no intention of bringing Hera back, but he didn't want to explain this to Ishtar.

"Is that so? Granny and the Orario clan have so many causes and effects."

Although Hera has no intention of returning, these causes and effects do exist, and since he bears the name "Hera's Glory", it seems natural that he should take responsibility for the causes and effects.

Jiang Liu scratched his head, seemed to be very troubled, then smiled with relief.

"Forget it, I'll let you go today."

"Huh?" Ishtar was shocked.

You know, she was already prepared to return to heaven, but she didn't expect that Jiang Liu would let her go so easily.

"Nothing strange, it's just that I suddenly had an idea."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly: "Since you are the owner of Happy Street, then you must have considerable connections in Orario, right?"

"of course."

"Then you should know most of the clans that had a grudge against Grandma?"

"Yes..." Ishtar's eyes lit up, "Oh, I see...Okay, I promise you, as long as you let me and my family go, I will be willing to help you to eliminate the anger of those family members, so that it will be easier for Hera to come back."

By acting as a middleman to reach a reconciliation with the many gods of Orario, Hera's return can be facilitated - the idea of ​​the goddess of beauty can be said to be normal and feasible.

Given Ishtar's special status, she might be able to convince most of the male gods, and the difficulty of Hera's return would be at least reduced by half.

——If Jiang Liu really came to Orario for this matter.

Unfortunately, the relationship between Jiang Liu and Hera was not at all what Ishtar had imagined, and Jiang Liu did not let her go for this reason.

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Liu shook his head: "That's not it. I want you to contact them, whether it's the mainstream clans in the open or the dark factions that can't be on the stage. As long as they are people you can have a say in and have a grudge against my mother-in-law, you can win them over, and then come to me when you have gathered enough strength."

"Uh..." Ishtar couldn't understand Jiang Liu's meaning for a moment.

"W-what do you want to do?"

"To end the cause and effect."

Jiang Liu spread his hands to express his helplessness: "Although it feels troublesome, as a man, I really can't drag my feet. It's better to clean up this kind of thing left over from the last era as soon as possible.

It is too troublesome to have them come one by one to seek revenge, and I am really not good at preaching and arguing. My mother-in-law might not be right. I am afraid that even if I win the fight, I won’t be able to defeat others in the argument, which would be very embarrassing.

So I thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.”

"What?" Ishtar's expression was stiff.

"Let's solve it with our fists!"

Jiang Liu showed a very bright smile.

“No matter right or wrong, no matter the number, no matter whether it is justice or evil, as long as you have complaints and indignation, you can all come to me.

I won't explore whether it was my mother-in-law's fault or not. I'm just simply standing on this standpoint - the glory of Hera.

And you don't need to worry too much. If you want to break this glory, just send more troops to attack.

We only speak with our fists, and one victory or defeat decides everything!

If you provoke me again with this reason, I will regard it as your voluntary surrender of your right to life, and I will never hold back. Ha, cause and effect... I will cut it off."

Chapter 187: Encounter

Incomprehensible, incomprehensible - Ishtar simply could not understand Jiang Liu's intentions.

Deliberately provoking a war?

It just pushes yourself to the opposite side of everyone, which has no benefit at all!

Ishtar is a very realistic goddess, so she was puzzled by Jiang Liu's choice and even thought he had something wrong with his brain.

But since Jiang Liu made such a choice, Ishtar, as his enemy, would naturally be happy to see him take the path of using the few to defeat the many.

The first thing to do is to gather fighting strength. Even though this man is annoying, it is undeniable that he possesses unrivaled strength. To be able to knock down a level 5 Frini with one blow, he must be level 7 or even higher.

Although it is exaggerated, it is not unacceptable. After all, twenty years ago, during the heyday of the Hera family, there were indeed many such monsters.

However, Ishtar could not imagine that there could be multiple level 8s outside of Orario. Perhaps Hera's trump card was only one person. If so, there was a way to deal with it.

After all, no matter how strong a human being is, he is still made of flesh and blood and can get hurt and tired. With so many followers and a variety of methods, there is always a way to weaken, restrain, or even defeat him.

Except for her own Ishtar clan, neither Loki nor Freya among the large forces would welcome Hera's return, even Ganesha was the same - because of their different styles of doing things, they were an oppressed clan in Hera's era.

Among the small and medium-sized forces, Ishtar was able to attract countless people. These clans might not have level one adventurers, but there were definitely quite a few level three and level four backbone forces. Their strange magic and skills were sometimes not to be underestimated by level one adventurers.

Finally... the strength of the dark faction will not be inferior to that of the mainstream large clan. Although their identities are very sensitive, as long as they are allowed to hide their identities and blend into the small clan, who will care about them at this time?

With this rough calculation, the energy exerted by Ishtar can involve most of Orario... No, it should be Ishtar's connections plus Hera's residual power that cover so many clan forces!

This will definitely win!

Rather, it would be unbelievable if we couldn't win even after this!

Ishtar, who had already fallen into the abyss of despair, became more and more excited as the plan gradually took shape in her mind.

"what!"

She made a sound that a goddess shouldn't make: "Just wait, little bastard. Then you'll cry and regret it!"

-

Ishtar didn't really care what he thought of Jiang Liu. After leaving the palace, he had been thinking about another important thing:

Where is Bell?

After realizing that he seemed to have lost something, Jiang Liu's expression became somewhat subtle.

Bell was so focused on the fight just now that when he came to his senses, he didn't know where he had gone. Even when he returned to the palace, he didn't find the White Rabbit.

Kidnapped by Amazon warriors...the possibility is very low.

Jiang Liu didn't think that when their own Lord God was threatened, those female warriors would have the leisure to deal with a harmless boy in every sense.

Lost? Or went back early?

Jiang Liu shook his head: It is unlikely that Bell would leave him alone and go back first.

Walking on the almost empty Happy Street, Jiang Liu relaxed his mind, and his observation Haki also spread out, soon taking every corner into his perception.

"Hmm?" Jiang Liu frowned slightly and turned to look at an intersection on the street.

After a long time, three figures, one tall and two short, came over, supporting each other. Upon closer inspection, it was Bell and a blond man, supporting a fox-eared girl - Haruhime.

Seeing her weak appearance, Jiang Liu understood in his heart: she was affected by his domineering aura.

Haruhime's ending was not bad, considering that many high-level adventurers haven't recovered yet.

Was Bell separated by the crowd in the chaos and then accidentally met Haruhime?

By the way, although Bell also looks a little shaky, he is much stronger than Haruhime and does not seem to be stunned by the domineering aura... This young man is indeed somewhat peculiar.

Jiang Liu knew these two people, but who was the other blond male god?
