Chapter 332: 242 The Path You Choose (5K, Extra Chapters 73, 74)_2
Moreover... besides this personal reason, he had another reason.
Here dwells the Divine Spirit he serves!
Unbeknownst to him, Steven has already become a devout follower of that unknown deity.
If I left, how long would it take for Him to find the next believer?
No.
I cannot abandon the deity!
Just as He did not abandon me in the beginning!
"I wish to stay here, but I cannot just abandon my daughter like this, so please grant me some time to settle everything."
"As a family member, as a father, I cannot let her down!"
At this moment, Steven poured out his true feelings, sincerely pleading with the Lord, bowing his head deeply.
Meanwhile, Herbert narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at this humble father, a slight emotion flashed through his heart.
For family...
He stared at Steven for a long time, finally shaking his head slightly, releasing a frustrated sigh.
"Alright, lift your head."
"Lord..." Steven slowly lifted his head, unsure of what kind of answer he would get.
He was even ready to take on any burden of contracts.
However, the handsome and young Lord gave an unexpected answer.
He had a calm expression and casually waved his hand: "Go, if you want to leave, then just go."
Herbert neither agreed nor refused.
If you can achieve it, then go ahead.
"Lord! I..."
Steven, excited, wanted to express his gratitude, but Herbert interrupted him.
He shook his head calmly and said softly, "Go, walk the path you want, and even if it's wrong, don't regret it."
"I won't help you, nor will I demand that you must return, the rest of the path depends entirely on you."
Steven tried to speak several times but ultimately closed his mouth under Herbert's gaze.
In the end, he had to bow his head deeply once more, choking up: "...Yes!"
"I'm deeply grateful."
...
["Moment of kindness?"]
After Herbert left from in front of Steven, Nenasha suddenly said with a bit of amusement: ["Did he manage to persuade you?"]
"Hmm?"
Herbert was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "This can hardly be considered a soft heart."
["Isn't it?"]
He seemed reluctant to discuss this topic further, but Nenasha, having caught a weakness, was determined to attack fiercely.
["Didn't someone say, absolutely must not let him leave, can't increase the risk of exposure~"]
["Was that me? Couldn't be~ So who was it? Such a difficult guess~"]
["Then why suddenly go soft? I didn't know you were such a generous person."]
["Just because of those unconvincing reasons he mentioned?"]
Recently suppressed Miss Xie Shen erupted with amazing combat power and a vigorous desire to attack at this moment!
After a long output, She suddenly found that Herbert was surprisingly quiet.
Have I left him speechless?
He doesn't know what to say, right!
["Hehe~ why aren't you speaking?"]
But just when Nenasha felt victorious and this win belonged to her greatness, she suddenly sensed something wrong.
It seems like something is not quite right?
Under this intuition, She indeed found the source of the unsettling feeling.
It's Herbert's reaction!
At this moment, he wasn't furious; instead, the corners of his mouth carried a meaningful smile, nodding pleasantly.
Ah yes, yes.
Everything you said is right!
So right!
He looked anything but attacked, almost like he was cheering himself on.
["You..."]
Herbert raised his eyelids and asked with a smile: "Hmm? Are you done talking?"
Nenasha: ?
Not good!
Upon realizing Herbert seemed assured of victory, Nenasha immediately changed tactics.
She... conceded!
["Umm... I think, you must have your own thoughts! Hmm, definitely not like what I mentioned earlier, right?"]
Upon noticing the anomaly, Nenasha raised the white flag and surrendered on the spot.
No, this is called switching from darkness to light!
Nenasha's sudden backtracking even surprised Herbert, causing him to widen his eyes.
Seriously, buddy?
Your... huh?
Where's your integrity? Your dignity as an Evil God?
Where did it all go?
Herbert shook his head in exasperation and amusement: "My dear ally, don't you think your words now are a tad too late?"
Sister, let's show a bit of integrity!
["Not too late, not too late!"]
But Nenasha didn't care about such "trivial matters," she said with a grin: ["Anyway, you didn't speak earlier, I hadn't finished my words~"]
Alright.
"Fine then."
Helbert shrugged helplessly, having to give up on the ready counterattack storm.
Since the opponent had already admitted defeat and retreated, he couldn't target them anymore.
Forget it.

"So yeah, what you said earlier was just your prejudice against me, I'm always this magnanimous."
["Hmm, hmm, hmm? Hmm, hmm!"]
Upon hearing this, even though Nenasha had defected, She still struggled to hold back, hesitating a bit.
Brother, let's have some integrity!
What magnanimity? Come on.
Where it's big I know, where the magnanimity is—hard to tell... ahem, just seen it before.
Herbert didn't mind Her reaction and said easily: "You are right, previously I indeed didn't plan to let Steven leave, felt he had utilitarian value and posed a risk of exposing this place."
"But now, I've changed my mind."
"And the reason for the change is not because he is a caring father or values family greatly."
He curled his lips, mockingly said softly:
"If Steven really was the good father he claimed to be... then he shouldn't be here at all."
