Chapter 285: Ignored

Leilah POV

Dammit Cassius, just back off for a day or something, shouldn't you be preoccupied with the war?

I was going to ask the others to go out and take advantage of the moment, I want my moment with Perseus.

Perseus POV

"What do you want, man? We've come in peace, mostly."

"Well, I don't know what you're planning, but I don't like that you're once again in my territory, the last time you were here, my cathedral went down." he retorted, "And why mostly? Do you actually plan on a terrorist attack yourselves this time?"

"Well, I can guarantee that it won't intervene with your current war, though some nobles and mages will have to die."

The project for the eastern continents for the upcoming war against the demons is mostly weapon based, but that's not what I'm here to stop. The project that I'm here to stop is the modified humans, they plan of modifying human genes so that when they give birth, they can give birth to a 'perfect' child.

And by that, they mean a child born with no disabilities or setbacks, and they will be born to look 'perfect' as well, such as being born with an instilled hatred for demonkind and born with the right skin color....so I'll just shut that project down real quick.

This should be easier, and I'll just task Orion with stealing some blueprints from those weapon projects, that should be much easier than his previous mission, and we'll then move to the south, back home in the west for a tad bit and finally go back to the north.

I'll just send them home once we're back in the West, even if Vince will be seeing those memory fragments over again, we'll just get it over with, and if Vince really turns out to be Lucifer's reincarnation, that'll be a huge problem.

Not to me, but to my parents. They'll definitely notice the difference between Lucifer's Vince and the original Vince.

"And you think that I'll just let you roam freely? Leave, I do not want to dirty my hands, I'm having a manicure tonight, and I prefer it to not be dirtied." Cassius said.

"Um, if you do...Lilith will kneel before you and call you lord Cassius once."

"Hell no, don't pull me into this." Lilith quickly rejected the offer.

"If she calls me lord five times and grovels beneath my feet saying that she's not worthy to look at me in the face, I'll let you go." Cassius offered and then point at Orion, "You there, new guy, I'll give you permission to spread the news of my unparallel beauty to everyone you know, after all, my beauty is just unforgiving."

"Wah..." he responded weakly with a confused face, "Why are you not wearing a shirt?"

"To show off my natural beauty, the world needs to be graced with my beauty for their ultimate happiness."

"I...I don't know how to deal with this."

"It's okay, he's a weirdo, alright Lilith, do what he asked so that he can get out quickly."

"No amount of begging will let you see me groveling or kneeling before this shirtless narcissistic idiot." Lilith rejected.

"I see, lower lifeforms really do not like bowing before a being such as me, I understand, I'll be generous, you'll only have to call me lord 3 times." Cassius offered.

"Hah, fat chance, ask this guy instead."

"I would ask Perseus since he is quite a prideful person, but since you're here, you're the better prize, with me interfering, nothing you can do will be easy, this is my territory, and people will follow my lead to stop and slow you down."

"Oh, I'll easily do it, but I'll come back with revenge in mind, so you can do that too."

"Are you seriously forcing me into this? Usually, I like you forcing me to do things, but this is not one of them."

"Woman, why do you always have to bring up-haaah. You know what, I'll do this myself."

I then turned to Cassius, I need him to back off while I go and stop that project, I can do it in 2 days if I don't want to be caught and have nothing to link back to me on the scene.

*****

Lilith got the others to leave this part of the room and went to other parts of her base while leaving me and Leilah to deal with the shirtless psycho in front of me, Lilith promised me that if I do manage to contain him, she'll lessen my hours, so I'm extra motivated.

I then turned to the side.

"Do we want to antagonize him or do it the nice way?" I asked while winking with the eye that isn't visible to Cassius.

"You do you, I'm just here to protect you in case things get out of hand." Leilah replied

"That's kinda sweet, Lilith would just would and shout out sarcastic remarks while I get beaten up."

"At least she is doing something, but for me, you occupy at least half of my brain, so everything I do will benefit you in every way."

"Kinda make me want to just leave this place and enjoy some alone time."

"Oh, what's stopping you? You know that I'll let you do anything you want."

"Helloooo?" Cassius called, "I'm in the room, don't forget about me please."

"The only thing that is stopping me is my own morals, I guess, work hard and play hard, so let's just finish this first."

"Hey, great beautiful perfect god in the room, stop looking into each other's eyes."

Leilah caught on too quickly, but that girl can read my mind faster than she can read a book.

Cassius is a self-centered narcissistic god, he loves attention, he seeks attention to validate himself, and his followers help him with that by continuously praising him all the time.

So we'll start by just ignoring him for a bit, even if it sacrifices my pride by saying these cringy lines. We'll then move on from there.
