After experiencing the pressure emanating from Xiao Xie, the way Shaina and Marin looked at him changed as well.
They had never felt such terrifying pressure before. Even the pressure emitted by Athena's statue paled greatly in comparison.
Shaina and Marin exchanged a glance, already beginning to believe that Xiao Xie was the incarnation of some powerful deity.
"Brother Xiao Xie, what are you talking about?"
Hearing their conversation, Saori stopped what she was doing, walked over to Xiao Xie, and asked curiously.
Since Tatsumi had not yet told Saori the last words Mitsumasa Kido had left behind, she still did not know that she was Athena's reincarnation.
Seeing Saori's curious expression, Xiao Xie rubbed her little head and sighed. "There are some things I have to tell you, Saori. Thirteen years ago..."
Under Shaina and the others' astonished gazes, Xiao Xie carefully explained how, thirteen years ago, Aiolos had rescued the infant Saori from Saga and entrusted her to Mitsumasa Kido.
"Brother Xiao Xie, you're lying to me, right? How could I not be grandfather's granddaughter?"
After hearing Xiao Xie's words, Saori's beautiful eyes filled with shock as she cried out in disbelief.
"Miss, Young Master Xiao Xie was not lying to you. Back then, the master told me to reveal this matter to you when necessary."
Seeing this, Tatsumi sighed and spoke up to confirm it.
"I'm clearly not Grandfather's biological granddaughter, but he still loved me so much... Grandfather..."
Thinking of Mitsumasa Kido's kindly smile, Saori's eyes immediately misted over, and she could not help crying softly.
"Saori, don't be afraid. I'll stay by your side."
Xiao Xie gently pulled Saori into his arms and comforted her softly.
"Miss, don't be sad. The master always regarded you as a treasure bestowed upon him by the gods!"
