Chapter 145 The Two-Faced Saint is a Big Shot (31)
Sensing the guilt in Bader's voice, Shi Qi raised a hand and stroked His soft hair a few times.
Although Shi Qi's actions were offensive to Bader, He was not angry at all, but rather calmed down considerably with Shi Qi's comforting words.
“As a god, He has always done a good job... but no one can tolerate being constantly corrupted by the power of darkness, not even Erebus, who has never made a mistake…” Baldr continued, speaking to himself.
"Therefore, when He could no longer control His powers, even though everything He did was not from His own heart, He had to die..."
Shi Qi said, “Since He knows that His actions are beyond His control, perhaps being killed by you is more of a relief for Him. So you don’t need to feel too guilty.”
Thinking of Erebus's final expression before his death, Badr nodded in agreement with Shi Qi's words.
Badr's favorability +5
He looked down into Shi Qi's eyes in his arms, then his gaze gradually moved down until it finally landed on Shi Qi's lips.
The suggestive gesture was quite obvious; the next moment, Badr lowered his head, wanting to capture those incredibly alluring lips with his own...
Before they could even meet, there was a knock at the door: "Godfather, may I come in?" Perhaps because he had witnessed an unpleasant scene when he came in directly last time, Fran did not push the door open this time.
Bader felt that Fran's arrival wouldn't affect his relationship with Shi Qi at all, so he tried to move closer. But he was stopped by Shi Qi as soon as he took a small step forward...
Shi Qi struggled to get out of Bader's arms, straightened his clothes, and let Fran in.
As soon as Fran entered, he unsurprisingly saw Badr sitting on the bed in Shi Qi's room. Unusually, Fran didn't react much upon seeing Badr.
"There's something I want to ask you..."
Shi Qi was somewhat surprised, because Fran said this while looking at Bader.
Badr raised an eyebrow with interest, then looked ready to answer: "So, what is it?"
Fran lowered his eyes slightly, his expression unreadable, and said, "I... am your clone, right?"
Unexpectedly, Fran asked so directly. After a moment's thought, Bardlton realized what Fran had asked and answered simply, "Yes, that's why you have the good fortune to look exactly like me."
Looking at the scene before him, Shi Qi thought to himself, "I was careless after all. Nothing good ever comes from these two getting together. I shouldn't have let my guard down just because Fran didn't clash with Badr at first."
Fran's voice trembled slightly: "Then...why did you create this clone of me?"
"You don't need to know the specific purpose... After all, I've changed my mind now and I don't need you anymore. I'm actually starting to regret creating you." Bader said this quite casually, seemingly not caring at all about how much impact his words would have on Fran.
After hearing Bader's words, Fran unconsciously clenched his fists. He shifted his gaze to Shi Qi, trying to get reassurance from him... any kind of reassurance would do...
Shi Qi saw the hidden meaning in Fran's eyes. He was about to get up, but Bader pressed him back down.
Shi Qi glared at him fiercely, then muttered through gritted teeth, "Stop stirring things up!"
Hearing Shi Qi's obviously angry tone, and although he didn't understand why he was stirring things up, Bader still let go of Shi Qi's hand and let him stand up.
Shi Qi walked over to Fran, then reached out and patted Fran's head in the same way, saying gently, "Don't listen to his nonsense. In my heart, you will always be an indispensable part of my life."
Hearing Shi Qi's affirmative words, Fran's mood improved considerably; but Badr on the other side was not so happy...
Seeing him comfort Fran as if he were comforting Him, that's one thing, but what exactly is this "indispensable existence" thing?!
Fran's eyes were filled with emotion, and his voice trembled slightly: "Godfather... thank you, thank you for affirming me. I'm really... really lost... I don't know what kind of person I am..." As he spoke, he stepped forward and naturally hugged Shi Qi.
If Baldr could tolerate what happened before, he couldn't take it anymore and stood up abruptly: "You brat, don't push your luck! Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"
Because Shi Qi was facing away from Baldr, and because Fran was holding Shi Qi, Shi Qi couldn't see Fran's slightly provocative gaze towards Baldr.
Badr, who was behind them, was furious. Pointing at Fran's face, he said in a fit of rage, "Look at his eyes! He doesn't look confused at all!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Qi slightly loosened his grip on Fran and looked at his expression. He saw that Fran's eyes were red and filled with deep confusion, as if he didn't understand why Badr would "slander" him.
Although Shi Qi roughly knew that Bader wasn't lying, he still rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about? He's already so upset, and you still want to say such things about him?"
There's a saying that goes, it doesn't matter whether it's true or false, since he's willing to put in the effort for me.
Fran's favorability +5
Badr fell silent. He was certain that what He said was true, but he still chose to side with Fran.
But Bader didn't think it was Shi Qi's fault at all; it must all be this brat's fault! He has such a seductive look that he's seduce Shi Qi!
Badr seemed to be in a fit of anger, completely unaware that he was also cursing himself in his mind.
He walked over to the two of them, forcefully pulled them apart, and then pulled Shi Qi into his arms: "You brat, do you have any sense of decency or shame? He's your godfather!"
The relationship between godfather and godson was Fran's Achilles' heel. Upon hearing this, Fran's eyes instinctively turned sinister, but Shi Qi, who was held tightly in Baldr's arms, happened to miss this look. When he turned around, Fran had already put on his previous pitiful expression.
His voice was filled with disappointment: "Godfather, no..." Fran shook his head, rejecting the title: "Ester... I don't want to be your godson anymore..."
Although Shi Qi also wanted to change the relationship between the two, asking him this in front of Bader... if he agreed, that would be too OOC (out of character).
