Villain Retirement

Chapter 1142: Mother of Death...?

"Wait… wait…"

Heli doesn't understand what was happening at all—not at all. When she caught the scent of Monkeh, she thought she would finally have the chance to be with him—her again…

…so why?

Why is the literal Death right in front of her right now? Perhaps, in any other circumstances, she would probably actually be happy. After all, death was her moniker—Heli was a literal goddess of death, for whatever that means—and now Death was here, sharing her grand presence with her.

Unfortunately, that presence wasn't with her right now, but against her.

"You lied to me Heli." But most importantly, there was another presence here that was slowly looming over her—a presence she once thought to be completely negligible, completely… insignificant.

How? No matter how many times she tried to sense any godly aura or even a trace of age from Riley, she truly could not detect anything special from him. If anything…

…she actually sensed nothing in him—at all. He was less than an ant, not even a microbe.

"How…" Heli was finally able to lift at least her torso up from the lavish carpet as she looked at Riley, still confused as to how all of this was happening, "...How can someone like you—someone so little, someone without any presence at all—have Death as your companion? The two of you seem so familiar with each other… How!?"

"Because I have a very pleasing personality, Heli." Riley said with a blank expression on his face—and slowly, he crouched down to the floor so that his eyes would be at the same level as hers, "People tend to like you when you have a pleasing personality, you should try it sometimes."
