Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Let's cheer for the brave warriors who are about to challenge the Storm King!

And as soon as the staff member finished speaking, immediately—

The audience above cheered, and the atmosphere became very lively.

But some people don't buy it, and the king of the storm is, of course, the brown bear from earlier.

Due to its brutal and bloody fighting style and terrifying power, many gladiators have died at its hands, and the Romans even gave it this prestigious title.

However, the opponent was just a newcomer who was not yet famous, which immediately drew boos from some people on stage.

It seemed that everyone already believed that the newcomer would be torn apart and had no chance of winning whatsoever.

But Ye was stunned when the staff member revealed the name of the person below.

who? !

Thracians, slave fighters, also known as Spartacus.

Spartacus, the one who famously declared, "I'd rather die fighting for freedom on the battlefield than die in the arena to amuse noble lords"?

A man who, unarmed and with a group of slave fighters, dared to break through the cages and seize an armored vehicle using only iron forks and knives stolen from the kitchen.

Spartacus, a true man who dared to revolt on Mount Vesuvius with less than a hundred men, even defeating the punitive armies of two consuls, leading his army along the coast through the whole of Italy, defeating the local governor's army, and almost leading his men south to destroy the Senate.

If I remember correctly, of the last three Roman triumvirate, apart from Caesar, who was working as a lawyer before he rose to prominence, the other two, Pompey and Crassus, participated in the final war to defeat Spartacus.

In some movies, even Caesar joined the army of punitive expeditions and disguised himself as a slave to infiltrate Spartacus's rebel army.

A man who was attacked by the three giants.

While this doesn't prove that Spartacus's military talent was superior to that of the Three Leaders, this man certainly died with the greatest honor.

How did he end up here at this time?

Especially since it happened in the arena of Crassus's property.

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye's face, but he wasn't particularly familiar with the specific timing of various events in Rome during this era, regardless of why Spartacus was here.

What Ye is more concerned and interested in now is, if it really is that Spartacus, what are the chances that he can subdue that man?

Throughout Roman history, if Rome, as the ultimate victor, is indeed the protagonist of justice...

Spartacus, like Hector in the Trojan War, is a villain with a strong personal charisma.

They are among the few characters who, despite being villains, act more like protagonists than the main characters themselves.

Moreover, both possess noble character, courage, wisdom, and upright stance.

If it really is Spartacus—

Given his personality, he can't possibly stay here for long. He might be plotting to incite the gladiators to break out of Rome!

Chapter 155 Aurelia: Go, daughters! Caesar: Is this my mom?!

While Ye was watching intently to see when Spartacus would appear.

Some people have also taken notice of him.

Although he is very well-known among the elite in Rome, he is not widely recognized by ordinary Roman citizens and nobles.

Those who could enter and leave this special arena were either wealthy merchants, landlords, slave owners, or nobles of various kinds.

At that moment, Caesar's family happened to be watching the game from the stands.

Aurelia Corta is in the VIP section with her daughters and son.

This trip was to broaden little Caesar's horizons.

Since the last assassination attempt, Aurelia has become increasingly focused on training her son in combat.

Originally, she wanted Ye to be Caesar's tutor, but she didn't know how Ye had become a nobleman, and Lucius Caesar had specifically sought her out beforehand, instructing her to treat him as his most honored guest in the future, and even intending to matchmake his two daughters—

No, that attitude couldn't be called matchmaking; it was more like letting her daughters seduce the other party, even if it meant becoming mistresses without any official status.

This made Aurelia very uncomfortable. Although she wasn't the kind of strong-willed woman with a strong sense of self-respect, her family had produced consuls and she was, to some extent, a noble family.

Putting aside the reputation of the Caesar family, her own children were born into unparalleled nobility. How many people in this world would be worthy of her children becoming someone else's mistress?

However, Lucius Caesar still held considerable prestige within the Caesar family.

The other party's attitude was very firm, and she smiled and said that if it really worked out, she would never regret it, and that by getting on their good side, the Caesar family would actually benefit.

This piqued Aurelia's curiosity—what kind of young man possessed such charm that even the stern, battle-hardened, governor-general, and consul Lucius Caesar held him in such high regard?

Just as she was taking her family out for a spring outing today, Aurelia noticed Ye and the slave traders entering the arena.

As if by some strange twist of fate, Aurelia brought the children in.

Given the prestige of the Caesar family, the gatekeepers at the entrance naturally let him through immediately, and even quickly promoted him to VIP status.

Here you can better watch the gladiatorial combat.

Aurelia then said to the little Caesar beside her, "Go, invite Lord Listaye over to watch with us. You haven't properly thanked him for saving you last time."

Little Caesar was very happy to hear about the mission. In fact, he had always been very interested in the strength of the non-human Yena. He immediately agreed: "I understand, Mother."

However, just before he was about to leave, Aurelia suddenly called him back, recalling what Lucius Caesar had said to her earlier.

She hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should trust Lucius Caesar's judgment.

Finally, her gaze settled on her two daughters, and she suddenly said, "Julia, Attia, you two come along too."

When that guy came to our house last time, you two little girls were already having romantic feelings, weren't you?

If you like someone, go for it. Women of the Caesar family don't need to be married off for political reasons.

Since he is now a nobleman, following him wouldn't be beneath your noble status.

"Whoever successfully sleeps with him first, I can arrange to give him to the other person."

Aurelia Cotta ultimately chose to believe Lucius Caesar's words, regardless of what secrets he might be hiding that made the Great Caesar so devoted to him.

The opponent's astonishing strength alone is enough for Aurelia to invest.

If the daughters could get along with the other man, wouldn't it be easier to ask him to teach Caesar swordsmanship or something similar?

Now that the other party is also a nobleman, it would be difficult to hire him as a teacher again. However, as a mother who is determined to raise the most outstanding son in the world, Aurelia Xianglai believes that if she has nothing, she should use the best.

Caesar is only a teenager, his fighting habits are not yet formed, and this is a period of rapid growth and development.

Let him learn to fight with an ordinary soldier, or with a powerful gladiator, or even with a hero from mythology.

Starting from different points in time, will their fighting strength be the same ten years later?

If you're going to take someone as your master, take the strongest one! This further solidified Aurelia's resolve.

certainly--

Most importantly, she suddenly had a change of heart.

Even if the daughters fail to seduce the other party, or even if they lose money and their investment yields no return, it doesn't matter.

In Rome, girls born into noble families were destined to find their future husbands only among their peers of noble young men.

Women do not have a high social status here.

Even if a woman is lucky enough to marry an excellent husband, she may eventually become a plaything. Not every woman can achieve what Aurelia did.

Unless you are exceptionally talented and can bring significant benefits to your husband, in a society where noble families nowadays keep mistresses and even buy and sell beautiful female slaves, girls don't have much of an advantage over other beautiful and young women, except for having an aristocratic status.

Outstanding young people are hard to find.

Those who rise to the top in Rome today are all old men who have worked their way up through seniority.

In the future, young Caesar would not hesitate to marry his daughter, or even his sister's daughter's daughter, to his elder brother Pompey in order to gain power and even lull the other party into a false sense of security.

Girls born into noble families have virtually no choice in their future life and marriage from birth.

When the men in the family need something, they have to pave the way for their political careers.

Compared to other options—

Lista was handsome, strong, and manly enough that even Aurelia blushed and her heart raced whenever she recalled the intimate moments with him during that thrilling assassination attempt.

If she were still young, she would be willing to go wild with such a strong man and experience his pleasures. However, now that she is married, Aurelia must also be dutiful to her husband. Coming from a prestigious family, she is not the kind of frivolous noblewoman.

However, unlike herself, who had no feelings for her husband due to their political marriage.

It is already extremely fortunate for daughters to be able to choose partners according to their own preferences.

In fact, if you give your first time to a man like this, and sleep with such a top-quality man, it's hard to say who will benefit.

The inherent wildness and tension of the Romans gave them a wildness hidden deep within their nature, and even the women were no exception.

The two blonde girls, who were originally well-behaved, did not find their mother's simple and blunt remarks vulgar at all—in fact, there was even a hint of excitement in their eyes.

"Mother...Mother, is it really okay?" Julia, the eldest sister, asked in a low voice, blushing and shy.

Although the younger sister Atiya didn't say anything, she also looked over expectantly.

Meanwhile, Little Caesar on the other side was completely dumbfounded, feeling as if he had just hallucinated.

What did my mom just say?! Is this really my mother, the one who was once so noble, elegant, and aristocratic?

Chapter 156 Caesar: One person can't be both my brother-in-law and my sister's husband, can he?

impossible--!!

Absolutely impossible...!

The mother wanted her older and younger sisters to seduce that man?

Although he also admitted that the other party was indeed quite handsome, with the image of a handsome man resembling the constellation Perseus in ancient Greece, and also very strong;

But this doesn't mean both people need to actively pursue each other.

Little Caesar looked utterly bewildered.

The Julius Caesar family is, after all, a family of gods, equivalent to the descendants of royal families in other countries. How could they do something so disgraceful?

He acknowledged that Lista was excellent, but he was just a newly promoted minor nobleman and not worth the family betting such a heavy prize on.

Caesar was very clever.

Although the mother said it was to let the girls choose their own future and actively pursue happiness.

But if you really want their happiness, you shouldn't let both daughters go—what if they both end up getting involved? Are the two sisters going to marry the same person?!
