Chapter 1594 Crazy Old Man

Chapter 1594 Crazy Old Man

Hazel and Helena closed Primula's ears from either side and kept the little girl from barging into a cave.

Even without their master's instructions, the maids wouldn't let a little girl hear the profanities coming from inside.

"I'll kill you! I'll fucking kill you!"

"Now, now, don't be so fussy, angry man."

"Old man? I'm still young enough to whoop your ass!"

"I'm a pseudo divine, you are a rank 9. I can beat a thousand like you."

"Then I'll call my daughters. Will you beat them?"

"..."

"Wait, the question is...can you beat them even if you wanted to?"

"..."

"Hahahaha! Didn't think you would have a day like this! Now is the best time! While you are still weaker and helpless, I'll ask them to get the deed done.

Ahahahahaha! It's coming true. It's finally coming true! Varian, you little bastard, if you don't resist, it won't hu—mfff!"

"Old man, don't take it personally. I'm just trying to tighten your loose screws."

"How dare you? Do you really think I am a soft old man? Here, take th—mff!"

"I'm really sorry but they're not tight yet."

"You! You bastard! You beat an eld—ouch!"

"I'm sorry, my dear elder."

"You're so dea—kggh!"

"Will you stop now?"

"Nev—ughh!"

The sounds went on for an hour before they stopped.

"Elder Sister, who do you think won?" Hazel tilted her head with a curious expression.

"If it's a test of strength, there's nothing to question. But if it's about convincing him to give up, the old man won't budge."

Even before her words ended, Varian walked out of the cave supporting a middle-aged man with his arm around his shoulder.

The man had a beard that reached his waist and hair which was longer than his entire body. He looked as crazy as they come.

"...Come on, beat me up." He bumped into Varian and said. "I can do this all day! The only way you can shut me up is by killing me."

Varian rolled his eyes. "That's a bit too far, you are my father-in-law."

"You ungrateful donkey!" Evander blew his beard and roared. "Where was that consience when you were beating up an old man like me? You thrash me just because I ask for my rightful grandkids?"

"I...Hey, this is cheating!" Aurora was flustered. "You can't just praise me out of nowhere!"

"Of course, I can. Good job, Aurora. You helped us a lot. Without you, they might have not been safe. I'm eternally grateful."

"Ah!" Aurora squatted, covering her ears and shaking her head with a red face. "It's too much!"

Varian was genuinely thanking her but seeing her flustered, he decided to go a step further. "Thank you, you are the best! Thank you, you protected them! Thank you, I can't thank you enough!"

"Arhh, I hate you!"

Aurora kicked the ground and vanished into the sky.

"...I didn't expect the meeting to be so short." Varian looked up with a grateful smile. "I shouldn't have teased her like that."

"So you know you're teasing me!"

Varian turned around in shock and saw Miss Calamity smirking.

"..."

How could he forget? A divine ranker like could leave bits of life power and swap places with it, easily travelling through space. Or maybe the one who previously arrived was an avatar?

"Ahem, ahem, don't praise me anymore. Or I'll really leave this time."

"Fine. But you really did a good j—" Varian covered his mouth.

Miss Calamity was indispensable for safety.

Sarah could've used the power of time to change her perception of time to make the 1,000 years feel like 100.

But she didn't do it.

A few years after his disappearance, Hortus was being tracked down by Keman and Yami.

Even if Aphosis helped cover their tracks, it wouldn't be foolproof.

So, Oob went into a deep sleep to focus only on stealth. Sarah, having some administrative rights of Hortus, used all her powers to keep Hortus as hidden as possible.

Miss Calamity assisted Sarah however she could while Isadora remained occupied with the outbreaks of Sia and Enigma.

She didn't even hesitate to provide her own divine power to Hortus to enhance its stealth.

It was a very risky thing to do as it put her in a vulnerable state where Sarah could strip her off her divine power permenantly if she wished.

Even with Aurora's help, Sarah was gradually unable to continue. Thankfully, he arrived at that time. But that only emphasized how critical she was to their safety.

Without Aurora, things could've been very different.

"I will not say thanks anymore." Varian looked into her eyes. "You saved their lives. I will save yours. Even if the enemy is Asherah."

"...That's cheating! Don't stay cool stuff like that!"

"..."

Varian sighed and looked at the sky with a tired expression.

'A normal man like me surrounded by abnormal people, may the stars help my sanity.'
