Chapter 690: Accusations
” The show is about to start soon, I should at least talk with Hera before returning to Earth. ” Jayden mumbled and then walked out of the room, as he had expected Hera’s maid was standing there.
” Y- You are back, you are fine right? ” Elara spoke with a small smile.
” Yes, had Zeus returned yet? ” He asked smiling back at her.
” I don’t think so. ” She replied.
” Then bring Hera here, tell her I am back. ” As Jayden spoke he sensed another presence close to him.
” There is no need for that, I am already here. So, tell me did you succeed or not? And where is my husband? ” Hera spoke a serious expression on her face.
” Just make sure to fulfill your promise, lord Zeus was not even able to see her and he will be here soon. ” Jayden answered.
” I hope you are not just bluffing, can you show me some kind of proof that you- ” Just as she spoke they heard a loud roar.
” APOLLO, WHERE ARE YOU? ” It was Zeus who landed on the Mount Olympus with a loud thud, throwing electric bolts all around.
” Why is he looking for Apollo? ” Hera mumbled but seeing his anger it was obvious that he had failed to do the deed.
” He had not returned from outside yet, and no one knows where he had gone since he just disappeared, but why do you look so angry? ” Hera answered without showing any kind of emotion on her face.
Zeus looked over all three of them then he took in a several breaths since he did not want to let Hera know why he went outside after all she gets jealous too easily, so he spoke:
” It’s nothing, he just made a mistake outside and I wanted to ask him about it, you don’t have to worry about it. ” While speaking he looked at Jayden who stood with Hera and Elara and asked: ” What are you doing here? ”
” I was just coming to see you and I bumped into them outside, but what mistake did Apollo make? ”
” … Come with me. ” Zeus spoke and began to walk towards the gathering palace.
” I’ll come talk to you soon. ” Jayden whispered and then began to follow Zeus.
After they entered the palace, Zeus sat on his seat and rubbed his forehead with an infuriated expression on his face, crushing the armrest he spoke:
” When I arrived on Mount Cyllene I was not able to find Maia, did you give me the wrong location? ”
” Of course not, I have my sources and she had been seen living there by multiple people. ” Jayden answered immediately with an honest expression on his face.
” Hmmm Then is it really him? ” Zeus mumbled to himself.
” Was it Apollo? What did he do? ” Jayden asked pretending to be clueless about everything.
” I am not sure but I found a piece of his clothes where Maia was supposed to be, I’m sure he definitely was there I was even able to sense his aura, but I can’t understand how he knew about the location of that place. ” Zeus suspiciously looked at Jayden.
‘ This piece of shit, he always finds a reason to put the blame on me. ‘ Jayden thought but maintaining his calm expression he replied:
” I am not sure, while I was receiving that info I did feel someone’s gaze on me, at first I thought it was one of your spies but now that I think about it, they didn’t keep an eye on me whole day like I’m done kind of criminal, maybe he found out that way. ”
” We just need to wait for Apollo to come back, then we would be able to find all the answers. ” Zeus spoke then he calmed himself and asked.
” The second book you gave me, it is even more strange than the first one, is that boy even sane? How could he do that kind of thing? ” Zeus spoke with a frown on his face.
” Hmmm if you don’t like that part then just ignore it, if the main character was doing that then he must be enjoying that.
But if you want to understand this book even better and have some fun while doing so then let’s go visit some market together, you will understand why the main character allows others to curse at him only to reveal himself in the end. ” Jayden said.
” Okay, we will go. ” Zeus agreed readily.
They stayed for a few minutes in silence then both of them finally sensed Apollo’s presence entering into the Mount Olympus he had just arrived at his home.
Zeus ordered a couple of guards to call him into the palace, and then within a few minutes, Apollo returned along with the guards.
” Father, did you want to see me? ” Apollo asked in a respectful tone while glancing around at Jayden.
‘ What is he doing here? He is lucky that I was not able to find anything against him, but I’ll make your death painful. ‘ he thought.
” I want to know where did you returned from. ” Zeus asked without showing any of the anger on his face.
” Uhh… I went to look around just to find someone, but why do you ask that? ” Apollo replied with confusion in his voice.
” Oh, so you went out to find someone? Did you find her? Who could it be that you wanted to find? ” Zeus asked as a smile appeared on his face, yet he looked more dangerous now.
Seeing Zeus’ face Apollo decided to come clean so he began to explain: ” Father, actually I received a letter telling me to meet someone who knows about Jayden’s past so I went out to meet them but even after waiting for so long no one showed up. ”
Zeus listened to his words carefully, and then he took out a piece of cloth and showed it to Apollo he asked: ” Why did I find your cloth at the place where I went to meet someone? ”
” You… were also there? ” Apollo asked in surprise as he looked at the clothes in Zeus’s hand.
” I didn’t know you were also going there, I threw it away because it got dirty but why did you go there? ” Apollo further added.
“…” Instead of replying Zeus stayed silent and closed his eyes, he began to put all the pieces together.
He pondered for a while, if Zeus chooses to believe Apollo’s words then it means that Jayden is the perpetrator of this all, after a few minutes he opened his eyes and looked at Jayden.
” What were you doing yesterday? ” Zeus spoke, he would still trust his son over an outsider.
But Jayden already had a plan ready for this, showing a shocked expression he spoke: ” So now you are doubting me? Even though I helped you out so much, ha I guess blood takes precedence over everything. ”
” Just answer my question. ” Zeus asked again in a stern voice.
Just then the gate to the palace opened and Hera along with her maid walked inside after looking around she looked straight at Zeus and spoke:
” He stayed home all the time, I can guarantee you of that. ”
Zeus was shocked that his wife was vouching for Jayden like that, the frown on his face deepened as he asked: ” And just how do you know that? Did he get your interest or something? ”
” No you know I can’t ever love any man beside you, after I saw that vision yesterday, I doubted that maybe he was the one who would attack the Mount Olympus from inside so I kept an eye on him the whole time so I am sure he just stayed inside his room till this morning. ” Hera explained with a solemn expression.
” Is that so? Then is it really you? ” Zeus mumbled as he glanced back at Apollo, he trusted Hera more than Apollo but something was missing and he just couldn’t understand who was in the wrong in this.
” By the way, what actually happened? What did Apollo do that you got so angry earlier? ” Hera asked with her gaze narrowing on Zeus.
” Ah… It was nothing he just appeared where he should not have been present, and it does not make sense why he was there. ” Zeus spoke not letting her know that he was going to meet a woman.
