"..."
The atmosphere around them suddenly grew somewhat tense.
Loki had placed obvious emphasis on the words "former Familia."
Combined with the somewhat sly smile she kept wearing, she perfectly embodied the wicked god of myth. Anyone who saw her would instinctively assume that Loki had come to kick Noah while he was down.
Even Tiona and Lefiya thought Loki was deliberately picking a fight with Noah, and they became somewhat flustered.
"Wait, Loki, why did you have to put it so harshly?"
"Y-Yeah... That's practically bullying..."
Yet after hearing Tiona and Lefiya's words, Loki showed no remorse at all. She merely continued smiling at Noah.
Just as Noah was starting to feel like beating Loki up, Finn, Riveria, and Gareth—the three leaders of the Loki Familia—simultaneously sighed.
"Loki." Riveria mercilessly said one word.
"You look rather ugly acting like this, you know?"
Loki's sly smile froze.
"This is jealousy, isn't it?" Gareth just as mercilessly exposed the reason behind Loki's attitude.
"Jealous because someone stole the heart of the child you cherish most."
The corner of Loki's mouth began twitching.
Tiona and Tione seemed to understand what was going on as well, and they immediately muttered to themselves.
"So this is what they call the arrogance of the gods?"
"I never knew Loki looked so ugly when she got jealous."
This time, Loki could no longer endure it.
"What do you little brats know?!" Loki shouted as tears streamed down her face.
"My beloved Ais got snatched away by this guy! What's wrong with being a little jealous?!"
"Huh?" Noah was baffled. He stared blankly at Loki and said, "When did I ever snatch your Ais away?"
