Chapter 456 - Hercules
"I guess so," said Hercules. "But it wasn't just his charm that wowed me. Something about him, like his determination and courage, made me think he could help me with my mission at the time, but he said no."Zeus nodded, and his face became serious. "Yes, I do. I've heard of Alex and think he will go far in life. Hercules, it would be best if you told me this. We need to watch this young man and see how he acts." The road led him there."Zeus and Hercules talked about it while Alex stood there awkwardly. He tried to smile, but it wasn't natural and didn't reach his eyes. He was furious on the inside. He didn't like how they talked about him like he was some playboy who was only interested in women.Alex didn't show anger because he didn't want to make a scene. He knew that Zeus was mighty and didn't want to anger him. So he just smiled and nodded, trying to look interested in what was being said.Alex thought about how ZeuChapter 457 — UnderstandingHercules looked down to speak. He wanted to tell Zeus that he thought the sentence was harsh, but he knew better than to argue with the king of the gods.Then Zeus asked Alex, "Alex, what do you think?" "Do you think Prometheus' punishment was fair?"Alex looked at Zeus and thought carefully about what he said. He knew he had to be careful with his words because he was talking to a god.Alex finally said, "I'd say the punishment was harsh." "But I also know that Prometheus did something very wrong, and I know why you punished him for it."Zeus gave Alex a thumbs-up for his answer. "I'm glad you understand," he said. "Many people don't understand how severe Prometheus' acts were. They think of him as a hero, but he isn't.He couldn't help but notice that the people living in the area didn't seem bothered by the sight of Prometheus, the Titan who was chained to a rock and suffering for his crimes.He wondered why the
Chapter 458 - An odd flashAlex was surprised by what the man said."I'm sorry," Alex said, his face reddening with shame. "I didn't know I was at the front of the line."The man gave him a look. Alex quickly got out some coins and bought some tickets. He gave it to the man and then turned to go out of the tent.Alex breathed in the fresh mountain air as soon as he stepped outside. He was glad for the chance to get away from the noise and crowds in the tent.He looked at the Caucasus Mountains' peaks, which stood guard over them like sentries. Whenever Alex looks at the Caucasus Mountains, he is reminded of how Prometheus was tied and punished for his sins.Alex sighed and rubbed his face, trying to get his thoughts straight. He didn't want to lose himself in his studies and miss out on the joy of the day. He went to the Caucasus Mountains to do what Zeus wanted.He looked around and listened to what was going on in the busy market. People laughed,
Chapter 459 – Making a decisionHercules agreed to play one more game, but only if it was the last one of the day. As Hercules walked into the arena, his muscles flexed with each step, and the crowd cheered. The opponent was a big man with broad shoulders and thick arms. Hercules didn't care that his opponent was more extensive than him.The fight began, and both fighters hit each other with hits that would have killed a weaker person. His opponent couldn't stand up to him, and after a few minutes, Hercules won again.The crowd cheered loudly, and Alex looked on from a distance. Hercules was unique, and Alex was proud to be in his company. As they sat there drinking their beers. As the night went on, the party continued, and Alex and Hercules were happy to sit back and watch."So, Hercules, how did you win all those battles?" one of them asked."It's all about determination and hard work," Hercules said. "I worked out for years to get stronger than any
Chapter 460 - In the newsA man asked another, "Did you hear about Hercules?""What about him?" asked someone else."They said that he... well, you know," said the first guy, lowering his voice.Alex could only sit there and listen to them. He wanted to know what people thought of Hercules and if they still considered him a hero. Alex returns to the small town where rumours about Hercules are being spread. Alex approached the crowd, eager to hear what they had to say.He asked a woman near the crowd, "What's going on here?""Hercules is the subject," he said. "Everyone is upset about the stories about him, which are about...well, you know.Alex pushed his way through the crowd to try to get a better view. In the middle of the group, he saw a man who was clearly the village's boss. He talked to people and tried to make them feel better."Everyone, please," the man said. "Hercules is still the same hero he was from the beginning. His love and br
Chapter 461 – The strain"Why are these girls from other countries here?" Kitsune, the evil fox, barked as he entered Alex's room. When she saw new faces, her eyes were filled with anger.Mala put her hand on the demon's arm and said, "Kitsune, calm down." "These girls came here for a reason."Kitsune said, "I don't care what their reasons are." "I want them to leave right away.""You can't just throw it out the window," Mala roared.Kitsune lets out a growl and moves forward with his arms up as if to attack. Mala, on the other hand, didn't back down. Her eyes burned with resolve.Kitsune was unsure, and his hand was still up. They just looked down at the ground and stood there in silence for a moment. Then Kitsune let out one last growl, put his arms down, and took a step back."Fine," he said. "But I need answers now," she said."Let's sit down and talk about this like civilized people, shall we?"Alex could tell the air was tense
Chapter 462 – 12 jobsShe grew up in a religious home and has always lived a simple life. She had never heard stories like the ones Alex told her. She had never dated someone of the same gender before, so she didn't know what to think about it. She had always been told that relationships are between men and women, so this new idea was challenging for her to accept.Alex is worried, so Kitsune tells her she doesn't need to worry about what Zeus will do. She told Alex to do what Zeus told him and not mess with their situation. But Alex disagreed with what Kitsune said. He thought it was great that Hercules did so much to make his father, Zeus, proud, even completing 12 complex jobs.Alex knew Hercules had worked hard to prove himself, but his father's praise always seemed out of reach.Alex told the girls what he was thinking with a sad heart. "I'm afraid Hercules won't be able to get his father to notice him no matter what he does," he said with sadness.
Chapter 463 - About the neckKitsune's eyes grew wide when he saw the dark entrance to the cave. "Is that Loki's place?" Mala asked, and her voice was full of surprise. Alex gave a big smile and a nod. "Yeah, you're right. We're getting close. We need to keep moving forward."They picked up their speed and got closer to their goal. They got to the cave opening where Loki was hiding. It was dark and musty, and the eagle droppings smelled solid and nasty. But even with these problems, they won't just give up.Before going into the cave, Alex addressed the girls. "Listen, this cave is home to more things than just Loki," he told them. "One of them is Zeus's eagle, and it has a bad temper. We must be careful and watch where we walk."The group remembered Alex's warning about the eagle as they moved through a dark, twisting tunnel. They would not act carelessly and hurt themselves. Instead, they would move carefully, keeping their eyes and ears open for signs of dange
Chapter 464 - The imprisonedAlex, who was in jail, brought the girls here because he didn't want them to be too scared by what they saw. But when he turned around to look at them, he realized it was too late. Insight, and there was no way out.The girls didn't seem scared at first glance. Instead, they were shocked and amazed, with wide-open eyes.She asked, "What is that?"Alex said, "It's a Titan." "Prometheus used to be very strong, but the gods beat him and put him in jail for his crimes."Mala said, "It's amazing," and her eyes lit up. "This is something I've never seen before."Alex was happy to see that the girls didn't seem scared. He feared that showing them such a cruel and horrible thing would scare them, but it looked like they were more interested than scared."I wonder why the Prometheus story is there," Sia said. "Why are you locked up here?"Alex was about to tell the girls the story of Prometheus when Hercules stood up.
