I rely on myself

Chapter 451 The Third Party About to Intervene
"that………"

Kusanagi Godou wanted to say something comforting, but it was clear that it was not necessary.

"Hey, what's with that expression on your face, little brother? Are you sympathizing with us?"

Without even looking, Luke could tell at a glance what Kusanagi Godou was going to do and interrupted him.

"If so, 'King'! You are underestimating us."

There were no slogans that made people's blood boil, nor were there any profound truths that made people think deeply. It was just a seemingly ordinary statement spoken in a calm tone.

But what was incredible was that the moment Kusanagi Godou heard these words, his entire body froze and he dared not move at all.

The reason was that the man in front of her had completely lost his previous relaxed look and was looking at her expressionlessly.

Incredibly, Kusanagi Godou felt an unusual pressure from Luke at this moment. It was different from more realistic factors such as strength and status. He was simply suppressed psychologically.

It was as if if she acted rashly or said something, or did something bad, even if her strength and status far exceeded that of the other party, it would be useless and she would be given the most ferocious counterattack by the man in front of her.

Because of this feeling, Kusanagi Godou didn't dare to make any rash moves for a moment.

"We accepted this commission on our own. It was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, nor was it an impulse. It was a decision we made after careful consideration. So no matter what the other party considers or thinks, it has nothing to do with us. We only care about one thing, which is how to complete this commission.

We just need to do our job well and get the compensation we deserve. Our work is no different from that of ordinary people, so there is nothing to sympathize with us. "

These simple words fully expressed their thoughts. Facing these words and Luke who said them, Kusanagi Godou was unable to say anything. Or perhaps he had no words he wanted to say, so he could only stand there motionless.

Looking at Kusanagi Godou's silence, Luke did not speak again, but just started eating again in silence.

This situation lasted for quite a while, and even affected other people around, because the silent atmosphere made the originally lively atmosphere even colder.

Seeing this situation, Kusanagi Godou wanted to change, but he didn't know how to do it. After all, he was not very good at socializing.

After becoming a God Slayer, it was Erica who helped him deal with such problems. Now that Erica is not around, Kusanagi Godou has no way out at all.

Just when Kusanagi Godou was feeling troubled by the increasingly cold atmosphere, a somewhat frivolous voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh my, Captain, what on earth did you say? It's so awkward. If the king is unhappy about this, then we are in big trouble."

A thin man with sunglasses and squinting eyes, giving off a cunning look, suddenly walked over.

Although he said these frightening words, his tone and the frivolous smile on his face showed that he was only joking.

If he saw this kind of person at other times, Kusanagi Godou might have been a little wary, after all, if you interact with this kind of person, you will fall into their trap without knowing it. This is his experience, and the best example is Erica. But at this time, Kusanagi Godou was just thankful, after all, the other party's appearance just broke the silence, so of course he was too happy to blame the other party.

"No, I was a little offended. Just like the uncle said, I was a little too self-righteous, so let me say sorry here."

Seeing Kusanagi Godou apologizing sincerely, Luke no longer had any intention of making a bitter face and his expression relaxed. Coupled with the lively atmosphere created by the squinty-eyed man, the party soon became lively again.

After Kusanagi Godou understood the situation of everyone present, he no longer remained vigilant and joined in.

The crowd had been having fun for a while. If Kusanagi Godou hadn't remembered that he had told Liliana that he was just going out for a walk and would be back soon, they might have continued until the evening.

Thinking of his own situation, Kusanagi Godou naturally suggested leaving, and Luke would naturally agree to it.

Looking at Kusanagi Godou's departing figure, a meaningless look flashed in Luke's eyes, and at this moment a voice came from beside him.

"Oh my, it's really shameful to deceive such an honest man. Captain, can you please not entrust such a thing to me next time?"

The person who said this was none other than the squinty-eyed man who had helped Kusanagi Godou out of trouble before. At this moment, he clearly looked troubled, and his words also made people imagine a lot.

"Don't say that, Geno. I trust you, so I gave you this mission. After all, the other party is a king after all. If he is found out, then we will be in trouble. So of course you, who have the best acting skills, have to take the stage."

Luke was apparently immune to the complaints from his subordinates, and even came up with a well-reasoned explanation to explain the opposite.

The squinty-eyed man called Geno was obviously extremely speechless about this situation. When he was about to say something more, Luke seemed to see this and spoke first.

"By the way, how's your work going? Even though it's just a part-time job, it can at least help you make some extra money, so we should get it done as soon as possible."

Although he knew that this was his captain's way of changing the subject, Geno had no other choice but to look at his captain with contempt while replying.

"...It went smoothly. The cleansing ceremony has been basically completed. After all, with the help of the power of steel, even the power left by the king or the gods can easily play a role. Just to be on the safe side, we will continue the cleansing ceremony. It will probably take another two or three minutes."

Hearing this reply, Luke naturally smiled.

"Well, let's get it done as soon as possible. After all, the main event is coming up next. We need to set it up before tonight. After all, if we miss it, we don't know when the next time will be."

"Understood, Captain!"

Hearing this, Geno instantly showed a serious expression, answered seriously, and left to continue working.

As for Luke, he continued to sit there and enjoy various barbecues, but the expression on his face was particularly serious, giving people the feeling that he was like a soldier who was about to step into the battlefield and was seriously replenishing his physical strength in order to meet the upcoming tough battle.
