Profit Without Capital
After Hela finished giving her excuse, she seemed to remember something and turned to look at the other side of the table.
Kino is holding up a black box.
The women gathered behind him, looking at him with mocking eyes.
Hela blushed.
She is Hela, the Goddess of Death.
What exactly are they doing?
All of these are Odin's seals; a murderous glint flashed in Hela's eyes at the thought.
The little ones surrounding her shivered; they suddenly felt that Hela was terrifying.
In that instant, the aura emanating from Hela seemed to freeze the surrounding air, and the children stared in terror, involuntarily taking a few steps back.
Damian looked at Hela in horror; how many people had she killed to possess such murderous intent?
Kino suddenly spoke up.
"Kids, go outside and play some games after you've finished eating. Pamela, Gwen, take a look."
"Good."
Knowing that Kino wanted to talk business, the two led the children outside.
Pamela and Gwen moved gently and quickly. Although the children were a little curious, they obediently followed them out of the restaurant, and the room immediately became quiet.
"Hello, Goddess of Death, Hela Odinson, my name is Kino, welcome to Earth."
"Welcome? Since when did the Hell Lord rule Midgard? Did Odin and the Sorcerer Supreme agree to this?"
Hela wanted to project the majesty of Goddess of Death, but her round belly was a bit of a distraction.
"I am not ruling the Earth; I am welcoming you as a human being."
"Humans? I don't care, Hell Lord. Whatever your schemes, how about we make a deal?"
"What transaction?"
"Help me return to Asgard in the future. After I kill Odin, I can help you kill the Sorcerer Supreme, and then you can truly rule the Earth."
Once she reconnects to Asgard's energy, her divine power can be unsealed.
Hela's eyes revealed a strong desire and ambition as she stared intently at Kino, awaiting his response.
"I refuse."
"Why? Just returning to Asgard wouldn't be difficult for you."
"What will you do when you go back to Asgard?"
"Killing Odin, seizing the throne, conquering the universe—wouldn't that be beneficial for a Hell Lord like you? The more chaotic the world, the easier it is to tempt souls."
Hela's tone was full of seduction and incitement.
"It might not be what you imagine. I'm a peace-loving demon king," Kino said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
"..."
Hela stared at him speechlessly, her eyes seeming to say, "Are you kidding me?"
"Pfft, sorry, please continue."
Venom burst out laughing, his body trembling from the force of his laughter.
Qin and Dark Phoenix were the same, covering their mouths and chuckling.
Xi remained expressionless, giving the Young Master some face.
"Fine! I just think it's too much trouble, not to mention whether you can even beat Odin."
Even if I could beat him... even if I couldn't, I definitely wouldn't. He'd definitely come looking for trouble with me. I'm weak, I can't beat him, and I don't like fighting."
Kino had no desire to do something so thankless and exhausting.
Besides, Odin has less than four years left to die, why provoke him?
Hela's face turned red with anger, but she knew it was true.
As Asgardians age, their divine power grows stronger; they were initially unable to defeat Odin and were sealed away.
Aside from the factors of artifacts and magic, the biggest difference lies in the divine power between the two.
Hela clenched her fists, her heart filled with resentment, yet she had no choice but to accept this cruel reality.
Looking at the weak, pitiful, and helpless Hela, Kino had other plans in mind.
"I have another deal to discuss, would you like to hear about it?"
"What transaction?"
"I will help you break the seal and provide you with protection within ten years, and you will serve me for the next hundred years."
"You dare to demand that I, Hela, the Goddess of Death, become your servant?"
A chill ran through Hela's eyes.
Kino smiled slightly, slowly walked behind Hela, and whispered in her ear.
"You can refuse, but you have no power, no ID card, and no money right now, so you can't move an inch on this earth."
You know, there are quite a few perverts on this earth who like little girls. I don't need to say more about what will happen to them, right?
And who knows, Odin might find you one day and seal you away again."
"..."
Hela's face was grim, her teeth grinding together, yet she couldn't refute her.
On the other side, Qin silently glanced at Xi, who was dressed in a maid outfit.
The "pervert who likes little girls" comment was probably referring to himself, wasn't it? If she didn't know Xi's identity, she would have called the police.
"What's wrong, Miss Qin?" Xi asked.
"I just feel like Kino's personality is a bit strange today," Jean said.
"Although Kino is usually very gentle, he can become a bit sadistic if the other person has a strong personality and queen-like traits."
He used to do this when we played together, but it would stop after a while.
Venom said matter-of-factly.
At this moment, the Dark Phoenix suddenly realized.
"I know that's sadistic, it's in Gin's memories too... um!"
Children shouldn't interrupt adults.
Qin picked up an apple and stuffed it into her mouth, explaining as she looked at the teasing looks on her face.
"That's just kids talking nonsense. I never read that kind of stuff."
A blush crept onto Qin's face, her eyes darting around nervously as she tried to hide her embarrassment.
"An explanation is just a cover-up. I've seen it too. It's normal. I like horsemen, Kino likes soldiers."
"Sometimes, if you put on a disgusted face, the Young Master will get very excited, but you have to time it right."
The two began to share their experiences, talking enthusiastically back and forth.
Qin listened attentively, nodding occasionally, as if she were trying to learn something.
"I know, last time I bit him, he..."
Kino listened to their conversation, and his lips twitched. "Aren't you embarrassed talking about this in public? You've exposed him completely."
Hela couldn't understand what they were saying.
"I can become your servant, but if you dare to lie to me, I will show you the terror of the Goddess of Death."
"Of course we can sign a contract."
A contract appeared in Kino's hand.
Kino will break Hela's seal within ten years, Hela will have to serve him for one hundred years.
Hela's life must be protected during this period.
Hela, however, had no choice but to accept the other party's reasonable request.
Hela reading the contract, Hela's complexion improved considerably. She only needed to endure for another ten years; it wouldn't be too long. A hint of anticipation and hope appeared in her eyes.
"I agree."
After Hela signed the contract, Kino smiled, a smile that was incredibly bright.
Hela frowned, sensing that this Hell Lord harbored ill intentions.
But thinking back to the contract, which seemed to have no problems, Hela shook her head, trying to dispel the unease in her heart.
It's all Odin's fault for sealing it; even my intuition has been affected.
