Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Of course, Theresa wasn't a suitable candidate either—she was greedy for her own body.

"It's not quite appropriate." Charles wanted to refuse.

"I'll have to trouble Lecturer Rocks to take care of me during my time at the academy. I also want to do what I can to help Lecturer Rocks."

"Otherwise, if you take care of me all the time and I don't return the favor, people will question the upbringing of the Severus family."

Chapter 60: Ciel: I had no choice...

After hearing what she said, I ended up being at a disadvantage in the things I was doing to gain an advantage.

Teresa mentioned the family upbringing in her words, so Charles stopped arguing with her about it.

If there is only give and take in interpersonal relationships, problems can easily arise.

It is normal for people with cold hearts to be grateful for a little bit and resentful for a little bit.

However, this kind of thing will never happen to the current Charles or the previous Charles.

In Theresa's opinion, with Charles's personality, he could show some of his own charm at the same time with her silent help.

With the combination of the two, he would easily fall at her feet.

It's a pity that when they first met, because the news was too sudden, her way of acting might have caused him to feel disgusted. Otherwise, in her opinion, the success rate of this plan would have been greater.

Charles roughly understood Theresa's intentions, but in matters of personal connection, a simple accident or a leak of something could easily reverse the relationship between the two parties, so he accepted her kindness without much concern.

The carriage quickly stopped at the gate of the City of Eternal Night. When Charles was about to say goodbye to Theresa, he found another carriage with the Severus family emblem parked on the side.

"Is that Brother William in the car?" A relatively childish voice came from the carriage.

"It's me." Theresa opened the window of the carriage and stared at the other carriage with cold eyes.

"Oh... John, hurry up." The voice in the vehicle became panicked.

"Eric, stop right there!" Theresa's somewhat cold voice came out.

A moment later, a young man, probably eighteen or nineteen, stepped down from the carriage. With his golden hair, handsome appearance, and distinguished background, he was the type of person who would be the center of attention wherever he went.

"Sister, what a coincidence..." Eric Severus looked at Theresa, who was like an ice cube at the moment, with a wry smile on his face.

"Have you seen Brother William? I have something to ask him. John said he came here." When his sister found out that he was here, Eric said that he would never have love again.

It was obviously the first time, why did this happen?

"He made an appointment with the little princess of the Constantine family tonight. Didn't he tell you about this?"

!!!

Eric was completely confused. It was his elder brother who told him that he was old enough to see the world and asked him to come over.

Not only did she meet her sister here, but she also told me that her eldest brother was out on a date?

For a moment, Eric felt the world's malice towards him.

Looking at Eric who was confused at the moment, Theresa's expression flickered for a moment, and then she looked at Charles who was eating melon on the side.

"Locks, I remember you come here often."

"It's only about ten days a month." Charles' expression was a little subtle.

"Then I'll leave this guy to you."

"Eric's first time in a place like this, and if he doesn't have someone to guide him, something bad will happen."

"Sister, actually I'm not interested in this place. I'm just looking for Brother William." Eric said weakly.

"Think it over before you speak." Theresa showed a hint of a smile on her face.

Eric first glanced at Charles, then stole a glance at Theresa, and finally set his sights on the gorgeous young lady in the City of Eternal Night.

He couldn't help swallowing.

"Rocks, then I'll leave Eric to you." Theresa bowed slightly.

"It doesn't matter to me, but is it appropriate?" Looking at Eric who was eager to try, Charles seemed to see a rising star in the City of Eternal Night.

"Boys always have to go through this stage, otherwise it's easy for them to be seduced by the smiles and frowns of little girls."

Absolutely.

Are you hinting at something?

Also, the Severus family is a noble family after all, how can they be so humble?

One thing leads to another. I just felt a little burdened because of the food and housing issues, but after encountering Eric's drama, most people would have lost those burdens long ago.

At the same time, Charles could see that Eric was really kept in the dark.

But this coincidence was man-made.

Theresa probably didn't know that the fact that she sent him here had already impressed Charles.

But this impromptu reaction...

The Severus family is quite interesting.

"Well...I will take good care of Eric." Although he knew that this was a tactic of Doug, Charles still agreed with a pat on his chest.

Goddess, I actually wanted to get rid of her by coming here, I don’t really want to do that kind of thing.

I have no choice but to go in now, and it is also a way to repay Teresa for her help to me just now.

You often teach us to repay kindness.

So you should understand my behavior...

While Charles was deceiving himself, Peroz of the Island of Jevers was slowly looking for a way to escape.

Although the kick from the "Holy Father" broke her ribs, her leg bones were also shattered when she was caught and locked up.

Generally, a transcendent person would need a long time to recuperate from this kind of injury.

But the people of the Krolov family are different. Their physical defense is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.

But the recovery speed is higher than that of ordinary extraordinary people of the same sequence.

An "ordinary" physique coupled with a recovery speed that exceeds the sequence level.

Although Peroz couldn't be like her father, even if she was seriously injured and dying, she could recover most of it by staying in a small corner for a few minutes.

However, the injuries that would require a long period of recuperation for an ordinary extraordinary person have now been fully recovered.

Although the number of cannibals is not large, there are still many people guarding this place because of their emphasis on food.

It's not easy to escape from here.

After all, as long as there is a little noise, the "Holy Father" may appear at any time.

Facing that terrifying man, Peroz knew he had no power to fight back.

At the same time, the characteristics of her body mean that she only has one chance.

If she is caught next time, the other party will definitely restrict her according to her characteristics, or even kill her directly.

"What should I do..." Peroz looked around carefully, looking for an escape route, while thinking about what she should do next after rushing out of the cave.

On the other side, on the edge of the Island of Jevers.

Hogot took out a small boat that looked like a toy boat and put it into the water. The boat quickly expanded into a normal-sized ship.

He lifted his foot and was about to step forward.

But no matter how hard he tried to lift his feet, he couldn't step onto the boat.

"Life only has meaning if it's lived... If I die... then it really has no value at all..." Hogot muttered to himself, "I'm a man whose name will go down in history. How can I die here?"

"Besides... we've already agreed on this before coming here. If Finks and the others can't guarantee my safety, I can withdraw at any time..."

but..

Do you really want to leave?

Hogot was a little confused, as he had already escaped many times in countless adventures.

But for some reason, this time, he couldn't be as decisive as before.

Chapter 61 Hope

Life is made up of countless choices.

Every choice will affect your destiny.

And now Hogot is once again at a point of choice.

Stay or leave?

If he left, he would definitely be able to save his life. Although he did not solve the secret of Jevers Island, the photos he had taken and the things he had encountered were enough to keep him entertained for a while.

As long as this place is made public and the world knows about this golden island, his fame will be further enhanced.

As for what happens here next, it has nothing to do with him.

If you choose to stay...

Hogot couldn't help but recall the figure that fell from the sky.

Saint.

A saint walking among men.

There was no doubt that the masked figure's strength had already reached this level. With his fragmented Sequence 6 strength, if he attracted the other party's attention, even if he prepared numerous means of self-protection, it would not change his fate.

Let's go..

Let's get out of here...

Fame, wealth and honor are waiting for you.

This isn't the first time I've made a choice like this, so why hesitate?

"No... I can't leave yet." Hogot looked at himself on the sea level.

"I asked Peroz about that earlier, but she hasn't given me an answer yet."

"At least I should ask her if she's interested in being my student."

"Besides, things haven't reached the worst point yet."

"You said so, Rawdon."

temple.

James walked in slowly.

"How's that old guy?"

"Boss, he's not dead, but he's only breathing his last breath." A guard came over and said flatteringly.

James nodded, then took out a few bones with meat on them from his arms and threw them to them.

The guards' eyes turned red.

"I want to treat my father well." A hint of resentment flashed in James' eyes.

"We should treat him well. If my father had that kind of strength, he would be able to escape even if he could only protect me, not to mention defeating the Holy Father."

"That's right, if he sacrificed his own son for someone else, I don't think he would accompany your father, the boss."

"That's why I have to ask him carefully and then treat him well." James showed a slightly sick smile, "By the way, I also want to thank him properly."

"If it weren't for him, how would I know there are such delicious things in the world."

As he spoke, he took out a severed hand and started to chew it.

In the previous battle, Finks, Hogot and Peroz survived, but some cannibals were killed in the battle.

That is why those of them who are still alive can stay a little longer - at least they will be safe until those people are eaten.

Compared to rotten meat, they still prefer fresh flesh and blood.
