"M-M-Master Z-Zeus?!" the kid stuttered.
Nero raised his brows and asked, "Who the hell are you?"
"It's me!"
"And who is me?"
Sophia and the rest approached Nero and looked at the kid.
"Sophia is here too!" the kid exclaimed.
Nero turned to Sophia and knitted his brows at her as though he was asking, 'Who the hell is this kid, and why does he know us?'
Sophia shrugged her shoulders and looked at the kid, then shook her head and uttered, "Can't recognize him."
Nero crouched down and placed his hand on the kid's shoulder, then smiled. However, it wasn't a friendly smile.
"Who are you, kid?"
"It's me! Arnold!" the kid replied.
Nero furrowed his brows and tried to remember Arnold.
'The last time we saw him was when he was a 40-year-old man. And…' Nero inspected the kid from head to toe and uttered, "You don't look like an old man."
"Besides, Arnold was just a normal mortal. There is no way he would be alive after eons."
"Yes, but I tried multiple transmigration technique," Arnold answered with a smug look on his face.
Multiple transmigration technique was developed by a greedy tyrant king who wanted to be immortal, but he couldn't. So he developed a technique called the multiple transmigration technique, which allowed him to switch his body by transferring his soul to a soulless body— a newborn. However, this technique had one limitation; the soul should be transferred within three seconds; otherwise, it would get lost and inhabit a random living body.
Nero pondered for a while and cleared his throat. Then, he uttered in a solemn voice, "If you truly are Arnold, then you must know the party password."
Party password was created by Nero to share and exchange information from one party member to another, without letting the outsiders know about it; And every member had a different password.
"Of course, I remember our party password!" Arnold replied.
"Then spit it out."
Arnold glanced around and then looked at Sophia and the girls.
"Should I say it in front of them?" Arnold whispered.
"Yeah, go ahead."
Arnold looked back at the woman and spoke with a troubled look on his face: "Do I truly need to say it?"
"I don't like to repeat myself."
Arnold took a deep breath and uttered, "Big ones are soft, but flat is justice."
Nero shook Arnold's hand with a wide smile on his face and uttered, "Yo! Arnold! Long time no see, how have you been doing?"
"Good. How about you?"
"I don't know what to say. Many things happened, but right now, I am doing good."
Sophia placed her hand on Nero's shoulder and asked with a scary smile on her face: "What was the password just now?"
"I am not doing good," Nero corrected himself.
'Talking about breasts size is taboo in front of Sophi; she had breasts complex.'
"Zeus, what was that password just now?" Sophia asked again.
"Mountains." Nero took a deep breath before turning to Sophia and uttered, "We were talking about mountains."
"Oh? So big mountains are soft?"
"Aren't they? I mean, everything is soft for me since I can break anything," Nero replied with a shrug.
Sophia sighed in disbelief and shook her head: "I am not even mod to keep up with your excuses."
"Master Zeus, who are…"
Arnold was speaking something, But Nero was lost in a different thought and didn't listen to him.
"Wait," Nero glanced at the woman and uttered, "If you are Arnold, then she must be… Rosemary?!"
SIGH!
The woman sighed and said, "Would you mind not calling my name so casually? I feel disgusted."
"Yup. She is definitely her," Nero muttered and asked, "How have you been, Rosemary?"
"I was doing good until you showed up."
Emilia nudged Sophia and whispered, "What's her deal? Does she have a crush on Nero?"
"No. They hate each other's guts."
"Mary." Arnold turned to Rosemary and said, "How could you talk to him like that?"
"Don't even start this, Arnold; you know very well that I hate him to the point that I wished he was dead."
Arnold bowed down to Nero and said, "I apologize for her behavior, Master Zeus. Please forgive her."
Nero waved his hand and uttered, "Don't mind it."
Emilia nudged Sophia again and asked, "Did something happen between them?"
"Well…" Sophia hesitated before answering: "Zeus killed her mother in front of Rosie and her sister."
"Say, Arnold. This multiple transmigration technique, how many times did you use it? Or should I rephrase my question and ask 'How many times did you die'?" Nero asked.
"I lost count as it has been eons, but it should be over hundreds of millions; the same goes for Mary," Arnold answered.
"Wow. You two realize that if you had messed up even one time, then you would be in deep shit, right?"
"Yeah. And actually, we had messed up a couple of times," Arnold admitted.
"Oh?"
"Yeah. I lived one life as a dog, one as a wisp, one as a worm, one as a snake, one as a fish, one as a—"
"Fine, fine! I don't want to hear more."
Whenever Arnold died, Rosemary transferred her soul to a newborn boy she adopted from an orphanage.
"Master Zeus, I have booked an inn in this town. Let's go there and have—"
"I don't like this town," Nero asserted.
Arnold gulped and stuttered, "Let's go to the next town. It's not as bad as his one."
Emilia nudged Sophia and asked, "If they had booked an inn, then why were they here for the food?"
"Would you stop nudging me like that?! You can ask me without nudging, too," Sophia hissed.
"Okay, okay." Emilia rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Don't blast your anger on me."
"I think they were probably on an undercover mission," Asteria replied.
"No." Arnold shook his head and asserted, "I was a prince of this country. But one night, the neighboring kingdom suddenly attacked without any warning. But I know that knight was behind this."
