The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 405 - 277: Men on Men? (5k)
Chapter 405: Chapter 277: Men on Men? (5k)
Upon hearing the inquiry, the golden-haired beauty outside the cell door, whose physique and elegance matched his stunning looks, answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
“Of course, I came to see you.”
In an instant, Luo En’s heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously stepped back into the corner, using the wall to firmly protect his posterior.
There was no way around it; though he was straighter than a steel rod himself, he couldn’t fend off the capricious play of the Greek gods, most of whom were amorous towards both sexes.
If he remembered correctly, Apollo had male lovers.
—The son of the King of Sparta,, Hyacinthus, a beautiful youth.
He loved hunting and sports, and Apollo diligently accompanied him, holding fishing nets and leading hunting dogs for the boy, devotedly staying by his side. One twilight, while the lovers were tossing a discus in the field, Apollo threw a golden discus, and Hyacinthus blissfully gave chase, unaware that the West Wind God, who also admired Hyacinthus, had blown the discus off course, striking the beautiful youth on the head and causing a fatal injury.
The blood of this handsome youth dyed the earth red, and from it bloomed a delicate flower, known today as “Hyacinth.”
Moreover, Luo En’s hometown, Thebes, was notorious for its Sacred Band of Thebes, known for homosexuality; he genuinely feared that Apollo might sodomize him in an unguarded moment.
Seeing Apollo’s inexplicably defensive posture, Apollo frowned and snorted displeasure.
“Don’t worry, our grievances were settled back in Thessaly, I’m not going to hurt you,” Apollo said, his voice tinged with disdain.
Luo En couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn’t mind the disdain, as long as Apollo wasn’t really interested in him.
Slightly relieved, Luo En cautiously asked.
“Then you came to see me…”
“Didn’t you also come to Thessaly to see me before?”
“Do you care about me?”
“I just don’t want to owe you any favors,” Apollo retorted, glancing at Luo En with a taunting cold smirk on his handsome face.
“Besides, it’s rare for you to end up as a prisoner, so of course I had to come and see,” Apollo added.
Upon hearing this, Luo En’s face darkened.
Alright, it seemed there was a bit of a revenge motive.
Previously, when Apollo was down on his luck, he had brought the Nine Muses to Thessaly to gawk, clearly remembered by this lad.
After all, holding grudges was an old tradition among the Greek gods.
“I’m doing very well, no need for your concern,” Luo En huffed disdainfully, his gaze sweeping over several cleaned spots in the cell, a hint of deep mockery in his eyes, “and I ‘eat’ well and ‘sleep’ soundly.”
Unfortunately, Apollo failed to grasp the implied meanings of “eat” and “sleep” from Luo En’s words, simply nodding his head. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly.
“You mentioned to Poseidon, there was an incident?”
So you came to see me just because of that phrase?
Luo En burst into laughter, asking jokingly.
“What, scared?”
“Hmph, I just can’t figure out how you knew,” Apollo sneered.
“You and Poseidon are so close, you really think everyone else is blind?”
Luo En glanced at the somewhat indignant Apollo outside the cell, his eyes revealing a trace of contempt.
Previously, Poseidon had used his demigod son Orion to scheme against Artemis. To avenge his sister, Apollo had grouped up with Athena and others, heading to the Sea of Okeanos to pick a fight, so their relationship was not that close.
Even after being prison mates in Thessaly for seven years, Apollo and Poseidon hardly contacted each other despite coming face-to-face nearly every day.
How come since finishing their sentences, their private interactions had suddenly escalated? They must be plotting something big behind the scenes!
Apollo’s son had died, and Poseidon had lost Atlantis, who they blamed the most and what they planned to do was obvious.
The above, Athena had reasonably speculated based on the clues observed.
Since the battle of Crete, Athena had been wary of Poseidon’s revenge and naturally paid more attention to the activities in the Sea of Okeanos.
As for Luo En’s own source of information, that was even simpler.
Because the rebellion was clearly recorded in the “Divine Chronicle,” and although the process and the number of participants were entirely different now, the overall direction hadn’t changed.
Thus, the conspiracy between Apollo and Poseidon, in his and Athena’s view, was as blatantly obvious as streaking half naked down the street, impossible to hide.

“But, our beloved Divine King has yet to suspect you,” Luo En smiled craftily, sipping his milk to keep the real mastermind from backing out of the rebellion.
Speaking of which, Lord Bo was truly the innate scapegoat.
In the battle of Crete, he had taken the blame for him and Athena, accountable for the sinking of Crete.
Now, clearly a collective criminal act, but having to cover for Apollo, and being punished by Zeus…
After several ordeals, not only had he lost his substance, but his reputation as well.
But there was no help for it; after all, as the Sea King with substantial resources and always causing a scene, he was Zeus’s prime suspect, every single time.
“He’s already exposed,” Luo En said reassuringly.
Upon hearing this, Apollo didn’t feel much relief.
Luo En grinned slightly, speaking leisurely.
” Which year doesn’t he get exposed a few times?”
Suddenly, Apollo slapped his forehead, realizing the truth.
Indeed, Poseidon’s desire for the Divine King’s throne was almost written on his face; everybody in Olympus knew it.
