Chapter 293: All the people in Olympus are loyal subjects!
Hermes, who was far away in the continent of Artemis, returned to Europa again after disappearing for a while.

Everyone who knew knew that he went to work for Artemis.

If you didn’t know, you would think he was dead.

His mother, Maia, is the one who doesn’t know.

The reason he was able to get out of the continent of Artemis was because Zeus was going to convene a council of gods. Although he was now just a small thief patron saint, he was also a Greek god.

You are qualified to participate in such a large-scale divine meeting!

Moreover, he also had an important job, which was to find more buyers for the unique products of the Artemis continent. It would be too much of a loss to sell those things only to the Fuso family.

More buyers are needed to bid in order to sell at a higher price.

And now, after several rounds of transactions with Fuso, Artemis no longer lacks population. What it needs now is money!

As the director of trade of Artemis Continent, he must have a firm grasp on this kind of transaction.

As long as you have enough money and control enough cash flow.

Those blindly obedient mortals only needed an excuse to put Hermes back on the throne of the God of Commerce.

What is Persephone, a selling bitch!

Is she qualified to do business?

She deserves to be sold!
“Oh~ Isn’t this Sister Persephone, the Goddess of Commerce? I unexpectedly met you here. It seems that I am lucky today!”

Hermes approached Persephone with a look of honor on his face, not caring about the other’s contemptuous look.

Although he took the initiative to greet her, Persephone, who was dressed in a white evening gown, did not stop at all.

“Hermes, you haven’t been here since your mother Maia came to work here. Why, are you here to take care of Maia’s business today?”

The place where Maia works is naturally the Moulin Rouge, and they are walking in the Moulin Rouge now.

Persephone was now heading to her box at the Moulin Rouge Theatre.

There are many boxes in the Moulin Rouge Theater, and as the god of commerce and one of the twelve main gods, Persephone naturally has an exclusive box.

Everyone is well aware of Hermes’ situation.

Legally speaking, he is even the owner of the Moulin Rouge.

Venus and he haven’t divorced yet, but now Venus may soon leave here and be reborn with another identity.

This marriage is dead in name only, so no one takes him seriously.

The Moulin Rouge now belongs to Aphrodite, and it is impossible for Hermes to take it back.

In the face of Persephone’s mockery, Hermes did not get angry at all, but responded with laughter.

“Yes, I have made a lot of money working for Artemis, and I am here today to take care of my mother’s business.”

“Oh~ It seems that you have accepted your identity as the son of a prostitute. You are really open-minded!”

Persephone had a smile on her face, but her tone was extremely sarcastic.

Although Hermes used to be a messenger and seemed to be able to go anywhere and chat with anyone, in fact, he had a bad relationship with everyone!

Who would like a snitch?

Except for the palaces of great gods like Poseidon, Pluto and Nyx, he didn’t dare to eavesdrop, so he dared to inquire about anyone’s secrets.

At that time, Zeus was protecting him, so everyone had to treat him well.

Now, if you don’t come up and kick him a few times, it means you are well-mannered!

In the face of Persephone’s mockery, Hermes did not change at all, but just sighed.

“I have no choice but to accept it. This is Hera’s order. Can I take her away against Hera’s will?”

“Come and patronize her business, it can be regarded as relieving her burden.”

“You are truly filial, Hermes.”

“Of course. I have always respected and loved my mother. She is not like a certain great god who sacrificed her daughter for self-protection.”

Persephone stopped and looked at Hermes unkindly. Although he did not mention anyone by name, both of them knew who he was talking about.

Persephone would become the Queen of the Underworld and have a relationship with Zeus, all because she was pushed out by Demeter!

The most suitable person to be the Queen of the Underworld is actually Demeter herself. She is the goddess of the earth, but with Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, around, she is just a decoration.

As the Queen of the Underworld, she can legitimately transform into an underground goddess, and can use her divine power to replenish the underworld and turn it into a real underground world.

But it was because of this that she had a hard time!

Hades is already strong enough, and there are Nyx and Tartarus in the underworld. If she enters the underworld again, Poseidon and Zeus will be in trouble.

It was because she was being targeted by the two gods that she hid in her cave. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hera alone to force her to this point.

In order to protect herself, she simply pushed Persephone out.

Queen of the underworld, what a beautiful view!
Persephone looked at Hermes unkindly, “What do you want to say.”

She didn’t believe that Hermes, a man who would only do something for the sake of profit, would come to meet her for no reason.

Let’s just speak frankly!

Hermes did not continue speaking, but opened the door of the box for her. Obviously, the following words could not be said in public.

……

When Cupid left Aphrodite’s chamber, his legs were so weak that he couldn’t even flap his wings.

Fortunately, Dionysus was still sleeping on the floor, and there was no one in the temple, so he was able to sneak away.

The structure of Aphrodite’s bedroom is ridiculous. It has no windows, and all the light comes from an elaborately crafted dome curtain wall.

As long as the people who enter here have burning desire in their hearts, the murals on the dome will emit light. The more fierce the desire, the brighter the light.

Therefore, you can’t tell the difference between day and night inside, because as the goddess of love and lust, Aphrodite’s lust is never extinguished!

Cupid didn’t know how long he stayed in there, but he knew that as soon as he walked out of the temple, he heard the nymphs discussing the important task that Dionysus had been entrusted with.

This surprised Cupid greatly!
How could that stepfather be entrusted with such an important task? Was it because Zeus drank too much, or was it because Apollo had his leg broken?

When will it be this drunkard’s turn to take on such an important task?
When Hephaestus knew that Aphrodite was having an affair, he dared to arrest her and her lover and expose them to the public to embarrass them.

But Dionysus was on the floor before he entered the chamber this time, and there was no such news at that time.

Now he was still on the floor, which proved that he had been awake once and had met Zeus.

There was no way he couldn’t hear the loud shouting, but he didn’t disturb the people inside and continued to lie on the floor drunk.

Can such a person take on such a big responsibility?

Cupid thought that Zeus had lost his mind this time, or he was deliberately trying to mess up the matter.

After making inquiries, he learned that a divine council would be held soon, and it was decided that Dionysus would take Joan of Arc and Jeanne to the Hanging Gardens to discuss the redemption of the people.

That’s perfect!

With this drunk leading the way, even if an accident really happens, it will be his responsibility!

He came to the human world with secret joy in his heart. As the god symbolizing marriage, he was very busy and had to have banquets every day.

There was no wedding party that refused his presence, especially in his patron city, Lyon.

In principle, the big city of Lyon should belong to a main god, but Cupid’s parents are both main gods, and he is also the most direct grandson of Zeus and Hera.

Although this treatment was a bit beyond the ordinary, no one gossiped about it.

Cupid at the wedding banquet enjoyed his cake and offerings to his heart’s content, and even cut a piece of cake to give his blessings to the bride and groom.

When he left, the pastor who was serving as the witness took the cake and found a note inside it.

It read, “Joan and Jeanne will go to the Hanging Gardens.”
