He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 95: Fighting wits and courage with the air

Despite being glared at by Argel, Aishilia was not annoyed. Instead, she politely bowed to Argel.

Greetings, Your Majesty Alger.

Argel, who did not get the result he wanted, felt as if he had punched a cotton ball and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

"So, what did that ugly woman Athena send you to see us about?"

If Aishia had just slightly disregarded etiquette or revealed even a hint of malice towards her, she would probably be a stone statue by now.

Or rather, this was the normal way Arger had interacted with the previous leaders of Perseus.

Even when sealed away, Argel is still that lawless demon star, at most he'll cooperate occasionally.

But that was only when she was in a good mood.

Normally, Perseus treated Arger like royalty.

"No, Athena simply asked me to inquire of His Majesty Alger how he has been lately."

Aisilia said very respectfully, even though she was speaking on behalf of Athena.

Or rather, she can only ensure her own safety and protect Athena's secrets from being revealed by invoking the banner of the goddess Athena.

Upon hearing this, Alger scoffed in displeasure.

"Hmph, Al-chan doesn't want that ugly woman's fake concern. What does Al-chan's well-being have to do with that ugly woman?"

Argel crossed her arms, but she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

What on earth is that ugly woman Athena up to? She just watches her being taken away by someone else without getting angry or coming to settle accounts.
Instead, they're sending insincere greetings now?
Is that ugly woman Athena plotting something again?
Ha, if you're so capable, why don't you capture Arger and take him back?
Arger had never liked Su Nian's background as much as she did now. As Su Nian's possession, she could, to some extent, benefit from the protection of Su Nian's background.

Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner. Would Athena dare to lay a hand on her now?

So Athena has given up?

Argel couldn't help but think, so this really was just a greeting?

It's not that Alger wanted to overthink it, it's just that Athena, that ugly woman, was just too damn cunning.

That guy even hypocritically came up with the idea of ​​"three strikes and you're out," meaning that as long as you don't offend Athena three times, Athena won't care about you.

However, the truth is that she had already written you down in her little notebook the first time you offended her, secretly preparing ways to deal with you, and then waiting for the third time to get rid of you all at once.

That's how she fell for it in the first place.

Surely no one really thinks that a scythe-shaped sword that can cut off a Protoss's head, a bronze shield that reflects her petrifying rays, and a divine wine that can make a Protoss drunk are so easy to collect, right?

Therefore, when facing Athena, that ugly woman, one can never be too wary.

Who knows when that guy will get you killed?

So that ugly woman is alright? It's a good thing she was happy for so long. If she's alright, then it might be difficult for her to break her seal next.

This also proves that her whereabouts were under Athena's control from the beginning, and that her falling into Su Nian's hands was even part of that guy's scheme.

Thinking of this, Alger sat down unhappily, and his originally good mood no longer seemed so pleasant.

Seeing Argel's reaction, Aisilia breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was now certain that Argel had not confirmed Athena's current situation, but had only sensed it.

So my next goal is to negotiate with Su Nian and find a way to regain ownership of Alger and keep Alger asleep.

Arger's animosity towards Athena was simply too great, and she was also far too familiar with Athena.

Aisilia wasn't confident she could fool Arger. Without Athena's protection, who knew what trouble Arger, that problem child, would cause?

She couldn't even imagine the consequences if she were accidentally exposed.

Her life is a small matter, but it would be terrible if she ruined Athena's plans.

Aisilia took a deep breath, adjusted her appearance, and tried her best to walk in front of Su Nian with a flawless demeanor.

Just like the image unearthed from Luos's memory, if there is no mistake, then the man before him is Arger's new master.

If possible, she hoped to get Argel back; if not, she would at least warn Su Nian, reminding him that Athena's gaze was always on him.

So as not to let Su Nian guess certain facts.

It was clear, however, that Ashlia was not qualified to know Su Nian's true identity.

Athena might have access to it, but it's clear that Eshilia doesn't have the authority to access Athena's intelligence network, so she naturally can't access any secret information.

"Hello, can I sit here?"

Ashlia tucked the blonde hair hanging down her temples and walked to the opposite side of Su Nian.

Su Nian calmly took a sip of tea and said indifferently.

"I'm a guest too. You should ask White Demon about this."

Upon hearing this, Aishilia looked at White Yaksha, who smiled and waved, indicating that she could sit down.

She's now very curious about how Athena plans to handle this.

Because of recent developments at higher levels, Greece has recognized the transfer of sovereignty over Arge, and Athena will no longer be in charge of its supervision.

It's clear that Su Nian's background has put in a lot of effort, and she also learned some interesting information at the previous tea party.

She really didn't expect that Su Nian was backed by that guy Kurima. No wonder she hadn't heard any rumors in the Little Garden before.

She was now very curious about how Athena planned to deal with Su Nian's provocation. Would she try to build a good relationship? Or continue to be stubborn? Or perhaps play dead?

White Yaksha opened his fan, fanned himself, and said quite happily.

"You can talk freely here. I guarantee that no one will know what you are talking about."

Aisilia frowned, looking at Shiroyasha with confusion, not understanding why she would suddenly say such a thing.

In White Yaksha's view, the current exchange is not just between Su Nian and her, but between the World King Kurima and Athena, who represent them.

Their every word and action represents the will behind them.

Clearly, this exchange was of great value, especially for the Thousand Eyes, who run an intelligence business, as it helped them determine the future movements of Athena and Kurima.

Despite her confusion, Aisilia thanked her in a very calm tone.

"Then I will thank Your Majesty the White Night King on behalf of the goddess Athena."

"You're welcome, it's all my pleasure."

White Yaksha wore a carefree smile, saying honestly that she was incredibly lucky to have witnessed this conversation. The content of Kurima's meeting with Athena's agent was already classified as near double-digit in the Thousand Eyes' intelligence hierarchy.

All she paid was a small fee for tea.

For some reason, Ashlia felt even more flustered and confused, but her face remained calm and composed.

The lack of information is still too serious. If Athena were still alive, I would never have ended up in such a passive situation.

Her initial purpose in coming to Thousand Eyes was to buy information about Su Nian, but now it is clear that, in White Yaksha's view, she should know Su Nian's identity, or rather, Athena should know.

But who exactly is he? And what is his background?
Thinking about this, she still couldn't help but feel a little upset. She should have known better than to let Luos buy Leticia and send No Name back as a favor.

As a result, he gained no favors or connections, and instead got himself into a mess.

Just give a casual greeting, leave as soon as possible, and then think about what to do next.

Thinking this, Aisilia immediately spoke up.

"So, regarding the ownership of Argel..."

Before Ashlia could finish speaking, Su Nian shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but I'm getting along quite well with Al-chan right now, and I have no intention of returning her to you."

Su Nian knew very well that it was already quite good that Hei Tian could help him handle most of the problems. Athena was not an easy person to get along with, and she might not necessarily give Hei Tian any face.

Su Nian had long anticipated that Athena would come knocking on her door.

Furthermore, the subsequent unsealing of Argir will inevitably involve a confrontation with Athena.

However, this does not mean he will back down. The value of a former top expert in the Little Garden is worth the risk.

Moreover, Athena is a smart person. A smart person would not choose to break ties with him, but would achieve his goals through the exchange of benefits.

"Was the time spent together pleasant?"

Aisilia frowned; indeed, it wasn't unexpected.

Having learned his lesson from Athena, Arger's temper had softened considerably, making him relatively easy to get along with.

Even though they are descendants of Perseus, they would cooperate once or twice when Arger was in a good mood.

Not to mention Su Nian, who has nothing to do with Athena. As long as Alger's needs can be met, Alger is not difficult to get along with.

Unfortunately, she was already prepared to exchange another, more obedient four-digit demon king for Alger.

Seeing the regretful expression on Ashlia's face, Su Nian shook her head helplessly.

What he lacks is not a four-figure combat power, but an experienced senior. Even though his inheritance is already very complete, having a senior can still save him a lot of detours.

More importantly, Argel is really good-looking.

Looking at Argel every day makes me feel much better.

Thinking of this, Su Nian suddenly spoke up as if she had remembered something.

"By the way, does Perseus have any way to break the seal on Alger?"

The sealed Alger's strength is really limited, and after the seal is broken, Alger will be more free.

As for whether or not she could suppress it, Su Nian was not worried.

If you go along with him, Alger is very easy to talk to, and now Alger spends every day with him researching how to use the power of immortality and the power of abundance for better beauty.

"Please just say what you have to say."

Hearing Su Nian's words, Aishilia said with a hint of helplessness.

Since the other party is planning to lift the seal on Alger, it's clear that all her previous plans have gone down the drain.

Moreover, although they didn't know who Su Nian was, they could roughly guess that the other party had an amazing background, and could easily suppress even Alger.

"Okay, then I'll just tell you."

Su Nian sat up straight and said with considerable confidence.

"Could you ask me what price I would have to pay to get Athena to release Argir from her seal?"

Asking about the price first will make it easier to negotiate later, and it will also allow you to be mentally prepared.

This is Su Nian's current plan.

Incidentally, this also sends a signal to Athena that this is Su Nian's own idea, and there is no need to worry about Kurima getting involved, so he will be the one to pay the price.

Upon hearing this, Aisilia's heart skipped a beat, but she still calmly replied.

"I will consult with the goddess Athena on your behalf."

"I hope Your Majesty Athena can give me a reply as soon as possible."

Su Nian said with a smile.

However, Su Nian still had a question: why was it Asheria who came instead of Athena?
Moreover, he hadn't forgotten what Arger had said before: Athena always had a gaze fixed on Arger, no matter what.

Until she was handed over to that guy Luos, due to the low quality of the holder, she was forced into a state of chaos and slumber.

This might be a test; if Athena really gets into trouble, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

While Aishia was talking to Alger, although she appeared calm on the surface, Su Nian could still sense that something was wrong with her.

There's a strong sense of someone trying to intimidate others by borrowing their power, and most importantly, they don't seem to have much real confidence.

Most importantly, as Athena's representative, she didn't react at all when Argel said Athena was ugly.

If Athena hadn't been in trouble, and if she had been confident, then Aisilia should have drawn her spear and confronted Arger at that moment.

It's even possible that Athena's will descend to fight on her behalf, only to be stopped by the White Yaksha in the end.

This is the right way to warn and reprimand him, warning Su Nian not to think that having a background means she can do whatever she wants.

But none of these things were there, which made him almost think that Athena was a good-tempered and gentle goddess.

The visitor seemed hostile; a strong sense of crisis and probing washed over Ashlia, making her heart pound uncontrollably.

Could it be that he has sensed something?
