Chapter 794: Drunkard
Jayden spoke as he pointed towards Zeus with both his hands, his voice loud, and finally the moment that Zeus was greatly anticipating had arrived.
Listening to Jayden’s words, all the people looked at Zeus skeptically, then one of them spoke:
“Hah, I don’t believe this beggar could be anyone important. If he is the prince of the neighboring kingdom, then I am the king of that kingdom. Come pay respect to your father.”
“Hahaha, look at his face, the prince must be really angry awwww did we make our poor little prince angry?” Another man joked, and everyone in the shop was laughing as they pointed fingers at Zeus.
‘These lowly insects.’ Zeus was losing it, forgetting all about the system, and he was just going to kill them all.
“Hmph, everyone who is laughing at him will be sentenced to death, and even your families won’t be spared. Look at what this is,” Jayden spoke as he raised Zeus’s right hand for everyone to see.
As they looked, they saw a golden ring with a turtle imprinted on it, but the main thing was the small diamond placed at the eye of the turtle. In an instant, they all understood the reality.
“T- That ring, he… he really is the prince!!”
“H- How can this be?!! Oh lord, what happened to me earlier, speaking all that nonsense?”
All the people were shocked, and they all kneeled in front of Zeus and spoke in a pleading tone.
While all of them looked as if they were about to cry, the loud sound of heads hitting the floor sounded again and again as those people prostrated themselves.
Even though this type of thing wasn’t new for Zeus, for some reason, he felt more excited than normal, as if he was experiencing it for the first time.
The change in the behavior of all those people and their pitiful expressions brought a new type of sadistic pleasure to him.
A smile appeared on his face as he looked down at all those people who kept begging for their lives to be spared. Taking a step forward, he spoke:
“You low lives, you will all be receiving your punishments for your crimes, not even your children will be spared.”
“Oh lord, please spare our pitiful lives, we were all mistaken in that we weren’t able to recognize you.”
“We are sorry, I must have been blinded not to see who I was talking to.”
Zeus then turned his gaze towards Bull, who was still standing there with his eyes wide open. His body was shaking, and it seemed he was about to wet his pants.
“Haha boy, what do you think of—” While Zeus was speaking, an old man with shaky legs walked into the shop.
He walked straight towards Zeus while the others wondered what he was planning to do.
He was a homeless drunkard who just roamed the streets, and even the smell coming from his body was so bad.
“Hic, my s-son *BURP* let’s go. I am hic here to bring you back, cough.” The old man spoke, while his body kept shaking around. He was still holding a cheap bottle of wine.
“…” Zeus was confused, wondering why this old man was talking to him and even called him his son, so he glanced towards Jayden to ask if this was also part of the story.
But Jayden shook his head. Since Jayden hadn’t included this old man, he just popped up randomly into the shop.
“I am not your son, get away from here, stinking bug—”
*SLAP*
The sound of a crisp slap resounded in the shop, and everything went silent. The old man had stumbled forward and then raised his hand as if he was just leaning into Zeus for support, but then he suddenly hit Zeus’s cheek.
His actions were so random that neither Zeus nor Jayden had expected that. Even though the old man was very slow for Zeus, Zeus had his guard completely down, since mortals are lower than insects to him.
“Burp. Y-You bastard, hic don’t you recognize your own f-father? Hic, you need a burp good beating.” The old man moved back and forth, while raising his hand again to deliver another slap.
Zeus was seething with rage. Even though such an attack could never injure him, slaps are mostly meant to insult someone, and even with Jayden’s control over Zeus’s head, this was something he couldn’t hold in.
*Boom*
Before the old man’s hand could come close to Zeus’s face again, an electric ray shot out of his body and hit the chest of the old man.
As it blasted him into pieces, the old man died in an instant without even knowing what had happened.
But even this was not enough to appease Zeus’s anger. He ignored the system’s messages popping in front of him and was about to kill all the people in the shop and the ones in the market too.
“Wait.” At that moment, Jayden stepped in front of Zeus.
He didn’t care about the lives of these people either, but if Zeus killed them all, it would ruin all his plans, and he might accidentally kill a mortal woman who was supposed to be the mother of his future kids.
“What are you doing? Move,” Zeus said. Even in his rage, he knew what he was doing, and he didn’t plan on killing Jayden.
“Didn’t you promise not to kill anyone? I know that was too much, but he’s already dead, so calm yourself down. Otherwise, the story will just end right here,” Jayden said, not moving from his spot.
“…” Electric sparks were flickering around his body. He was too enraged right now, but after listening to Jayden’s words, Zeus clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
After a couple of minutes, he opened his eyes, and his expression had returned to normal. Then he picked up a ring and walked out of the shop.
All the people had frozen. Jayden was in complete control of their minds. After glancing around at the pieces of the old man’s body, he gave a command to clean them up and walked out of there.

Upon seeing the text messages, Zeus was pleasantly surprised. Since his performance was pretty good, he received an extra reward.
A second after he read the text, a pill appeared directly in his palm. Zeus stared at the star-shaped, pink-colored pill, which was the size of a thumbnail.
“But who should I use this on?” Zeus wondered loudly, glancing at Jayden as if asking for his advice.
“You will definitely come across someone of your liking here, so why don’t you start with your next mission? What was it again?” Jayden mumbled while looking around.
“Fighting a beggar and proposing to a married woman. Those are the remaining missions,” Zeus answered as he gazed at the surroundings.
