Chapter 273 The Greek Debt King Makes an Entrance! (4.9k, reaching 11k/day)

The Netherworld, a black crow flew through the heavy mists of death to arrive at a dark temple at the edge of Tartarus.

As the faint sound of flapping wings reached his ears, Hades, who was trimming a potted plant, looked up at the little creature that had landed on the table and extended his hand to receive a golden branch from the claws that released it.

His gaze swept over the secret text inscribed on the golden bough, and Hades was momentarily stunned.

After confirming the content several times, the Underworld King's gloomy face suddenly erupted with ecstasy. He quickly dropped the shears, donned a brand-new outfit, and transformed into a wisp of black smoke, carrying the table crow with him, and flew toward that vibrant garden.

It took only about half an hour for Hades to arrive at the destination. His misty form reverted back to its original state as he landed on the outskirts of the garden.

Seemingly sensing the arrival of a guest, the garden's hedges and flowers automatically parted to create a clear path leading deep into the garden.

Suppressing his excitement, Hades straightened his clothes several times, making sure not even a wrinkle remained. Then he proceeded along the guided path.

Shrouded in layers of forest and surrounded by fragrant grass, after several twists and turns, the scene before Hades suddenly opened up. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

An elegantly crafted courtyard came into view, the gentle flow of water sang soothing melodies that seemed to wash away the weariness of body and soul; flowers and plants, meticulously tended, were planted on both sides of the road, vying with each other in beauty; and in front of the open gates of the palace stood Persephone, in a floor-length dress, standing on the steps, waving to him.

"You've come?"

"Oh, yes."

Persephone's unusual initiation of conversation left Hades's CPU somewhat inadequate. He nodded woodenly, standing still on the spot.

Seeing her husband's dazed reaction, the Queen of the Underworld sighed, stepped forward, and took Hades's arm gently.

——She actually cooked today and invited him?

"Melinoe is your daughter, and you have every right to know about her affairs. That's why Luo En wanted you to be present," Persephone said plainly, revealing the instigator behind the scheme.

Upon hearing this, Hades's gaze towards Luo En overflowed with intense joy and gratitude.

Good, this son I've taken is worth it! He truly cares about me, his adoptive father's troubles!

"Alright, let's not talk so much, the food's getting cold. Let's sit down and eat," Luo En said as he dutifully pulled out chairs for Hades and Persephone, inviting them to sit down like a devoted and responsible son.

With this lubrication, the relationship between the Underworld King and Queen, frozen for many years, gradually warmed.

In this harmonious atmosphere, Luo En also sat down, waving the flag of a family dinner to keep the conversation going, while catching the moment to heap praise on Hades, subtly revealing the Underworld King's silent contributions behind the scenes.

When Persephone heard that Hades had also been secretly investigating the secrets of the Elysian Fields and had let Luo En and her precious daughter go, she couldn't help but give a few more glances at her reticent husband, her eyes softened as she shifted some dishes onto Hades's plate and spoke softly.

"I made these. Eat more."

Surprised by the tenderness and clear closeness in his wife's words, Hades almost shed tears of joy.

As Luo En witnessed all this, his inner monologue was sarcastic.

I don't know whether to call it affectionate or sycophantic. But with this performance, you'd probably struggle to stand tall in front of your wife without my support in this lifetime.

In fact, Persephone's change in opinion towards Hades was not easily formed over a single dinner. Luo En indeed had made great efforts behind the scenes.

Ever since he abducted Melinoe, he not only taught the smelly little sister to write home letters, putting on the act of being well-behaved to cheer up Persephone, but he also repeatedly spoke well of Hades in the letters, affixing a series of labels like "affectionate," "family-oriented," and "honest and loyal" to the adoptive father.
