Chapter 680: Fooled
The maid hastily began to follow him and spoke: ” I- I am Elara, you can call me however you would like and yes, I would love to show you around, do you want to go somewhere in specific? ” Elara seemed really excited while speaking, it was the same maid who had told Hera about him.
” Do you know of a place where I could get some kind of energy sources or stones or anything like that? ”
He asked while walking beside her, it was the first time in this place that someone was properly talking to her and walking like this otherwise all the maids are treated like a lower species, and they are killed even because of the smallest mistakes.
” Y- Yes there is a place like that nearby but you would need to purchase them, ah if you don’t have anything then I can give you some of my mon- ”
While Elara was speaking, Jayden interrupted her since he could get as much energy stones as he wanted without paying anything for it.
” You don’t have to do that, just bring me to that place. ” As he spoke Jayden noticed the shadow following behind him, it was none other than Apollo who was still suspecting him.
” So Elara are you married and how long have you been working at this place? ” Jayden began to make casual talk.
” Uh Y- Yes I’m married already and I have been working at this place for over sixty years. ” Elara replied but she seemed a little down after giving her answer.
Jayden was surprised by her words he didn’t expect that she was so old yet she looked so young, though she was a human too and there was no special energy in her body.
‘ Maybe it is because of the natural energy in the air here, or maybe the humans at this time are just that better than the current humans on Earth, well not that it is important. ‘
He thought and continued to talk to her normally, and after a while, Elara relaxed too seeing that Jayden was still talking just like before even after hearing that she was married and so old.
After walking for a while they arrived in a place that looked like a market but had limited shops and all of them looked quite magnificent, the shopowners were all strong individuals too.
” Why don’t you come out now? ” Jayden spoke as he turned around and stared at the tree some distance away from himself.
No one came out for a few seconds but then Apollo sighed and finally revealed himself he walked up to Jayden and then glanced at Elara who hid behind Jayden in fright.
” When and how did you find me? ” Apollo asked with an irritated expression, he had never felt this type of headache in so long.
” You made it so obvious from the start that I could sense you even with my eyes closed, now tell me why were you following me all this time? ” Jayden asked with an expressionless face.
” Because I don’t trust you, I don’t know what kind of talk you had with Father or Queen Hera, but I will definitely find out about your motives and then I will personally kill you with my own hands. ”
Apollo replied as strong killing intent appeared around his body which made it difficult for Elara to breathe.
Jayden covered Elara in his own aura as she finally relaxed and almost fell down onto her knees but he held her waist and stopped her from falling, then Jayden looked towards Apollo with a smile and spoke:
” Why are you getting so worked up, it’s not your turn yet anyway haven’t your father told you to treat me like a guest, I want to buy those things so buy all of them for me right away.”
Apollo looked in the direction where Jayden had pointed his finger and found that it was towards the shop which was selling big energy filled stones, they contain a large amount of energy that even gods may use when they feel tired so they are all quite expensive even for Apollo.
” Why should I buy them for you, heh if you beg me then I may buy one for you. ” Apollo spoke while looking at Jayden with narrowed eyes, this was not his true self but he just wanted to test Jayden.
” Elara go back to my room, I will be back there soon. ” Jayden spoke and finally removed his hand from her waist.
” O- Okay, I will… wait there. ” Elara spoke and then walked away as fast as possible, she was getting afraid and felt that Apollo might hurt her.
” Now why don’t we make a small bet? ” Jayden spoke with a smile.
Apollo just wanted to see Jayden’s true colours so there was no reason to back down he smiled too and asked:
” Oh, what kind of bet are you talking about? I am getting quite interested in your words already, fine let’s bet if you win I will buy all the energy stones you want but if you lose you will have to turn into my slave haha. ”
” Tsk I was not aware that you have that type of taste, no wonder you are his son well whatever.
I agree but first let me tell that shop owner about my bet you wait here for me, and when I ask about the bet you have to say yes, just stay here and don’t think of running away. ” Jayden spoke.
” Heh Why would I run away from you, just tell him about the bet and then come back here, I want to see you wriggling under my feet. ”
Apollo spoke and without saying anything Jayden walked up to the shop, while Apollo wondered why Jayden asked him to stand there when he could have also walked up to the shop.
Apollo watched from some distance as Jayden walked closer to the shop then he began to speak something, after a few seconds both Jayden and the shop owner looked towards Apollo then Jayden shouted: ” I can take all these stones if I win right? ”
Apollo couldn’t understand why Jayden was doing all this but he still agreed: ” Yes you can. ”
Then Jayden talked with the owner for a little longer, after a couple of minutes all the stones from the shop disappeared and without even glancing back at Apollo Jayden began to walk away while whistling and humming a song.
“…” Apollo stood to his spot frozen not understanding what was happening, he first looked towards Jayden and then towards the shop owner, after a moment he decided to ask the shop owner about it.
He walked upto the empty shop and asked the shop owner: ” Why did you give him all the stones in the shop and what did he said to you? ”
” L- Lord Apollo, wasn’t it you who ordered me to give him everything if he won? So since he won I gave him everything, that man said that you will pay for all of it. ” The shop owner replied.
” Sigh Just what did he said to you? ” Apollo asked.
