Chapter 141 – Should I tell Hestia the truth about Ishtar?

Hestia was surprised when she heard Ishtar's voice outside the mansion. She looked at me, seeking an explanation, but I didn't know what to say. Should I tell her about my involvement with Ishtar?

But first, I need to handle this.

"Excuse me, Goddess." I gently moved Hestia aside and went out.

Outside, Ishtar stood with her hands on her hips, dressed provocatively, looking at me with a confident expression. Aisha was next to her, looking both embarrassed and afraid of me.

She must be worried that I'll be angry with her.

But I'm not angry with her—I'm furious with this shameless goddess.

I walked toward Ishtar with a smile. There weren't many people around, but I made sure to remain calm, careful not to cause a scene. But what I really wanted to do was grab her by the head and slam it against the ground.

As I approached Ishtar, her eyes sparkled as she took in my new appearance, and then she gave me a malicious smile.

I leaned in close and whispered something in her ear.

"Go away now, unless you want me to humiliate you here in front of everyone."

At my words, I heard her breathing grow heavier. She seemed excited by this.

Right, she's addicted to being treated like trash while I use her body however I please.

How should I handle this?

If I threaten to punish her, she'll get excited. If I ignore her, she'll keep bothering me until I punish her. What a hassle. If only there were a way to lock her up somewhere.

I glanced over at Aisha, who quickly looked away.

Aisha seems even more captivated by my appearance than Ishtar.

I stepped closer to Aisha and whispered in her ear.

"If this shit goddess doesn't leave right now, I'll strip her in public and humiliate her. Get her out of here."

Aisha's body trembled at my words.

"Then start talking. Why was Ishtar here, and why did she seem so familiar with you? Did you do something with her? Don't lie to me!"

"Ah, damn..." I scratched my head. There's no way I can fool her here.

"I knew it! Why did it have to be her? Ugh!" Hestia pulled at her hair. "How did this happen? I want to know everything!" She turned to me, her gaze serious. I had no choice but to tell her everything that had happened.

Hestia didn't know a thing—not even about Lili's "kidnapping." When she found that out, her anger toward Ishtar only grew.

"That idiot did that?"

"Well, she just wanted to lure me in."

"But why did you go to the Ishtar Familia's home in the first place? Just because of Aisha? Are you out of your mind? Of course that goddess would get interested in you!"

"But don't worry—it's all under control. Ishtar can't defy me; she's hooked on me, and I have complete control over her."

"Do you even realize how absurd that sounds? I'm sure she's planning something! And how could you do that with her? She's..."

"She's a bitch; I know that. Honestly, it wasn't so bad."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear you talk about what happened between you two."

"Alright, I won't say anything more."

"And you need to end things with her—I won't accept this."

"I don't think that'll be possible. If I abandon her, she'll definitely try something against me. Isn't it good, though? I have control over the Ishtar Familia."

"That's exactly what she wants you to think; you don't have control over anything. I'm warning you, you better cut ties with that cunning goddess."

"Don't worry, Goddess, it's all fine." I leaned in to kiss her, but Hestia pulled back.

"I can't kiss you right now. All I can think of is you doing that with her."

"Aren't you being a little dramatic?"

"Shut up!"
