Chapter 50 – Unbelievable Betrayal (7)
The two goddesses, who had a bloody bloody battle in the morning, soon moved to a nearby teahouse.
Judging by the estimate, the topic of the story did not seem light enough to be shared on the street.
The quiet tea shop, which seemed to have just opened, wasn’t flashy, but it still had a good assortment of shops.
“Three, oh my god, oh my god…” … !”
When two noble goddesses suddenly came to visit, the store owner couldn’t hide his surprise, shaking his whole body.
The store owner, who belatedly came to her senses, treated the goddesses who visited her store with the utmost hospitality and without hesitation gave her the biggest and best room there.
Nemesis and Victoria didn’t show much of a reaction to the store owner’s generous hospitality, and sat down at the table placed in the exact center of the room with one small window.
The two people each ordered coffee and tea, but since they ordered it to pay for their seats, neither of them drank it.
They just sat facing each other and quietly stared at the target across the table.
“So, what is your business?”
It was Nemesis who broke the silence that seemed like it would last forever and spoke first.
Victoria slowly crossed her legs without looking back.
“Why did you commit an affair?”
Victoria, with her eerie golden eyes sharply opened, asked as if questioning her.
In response to her direct rebuke, Nemesis held off on answering for a moment and thought about it without making it obvious.
The interests were too twisted to be called an affair, but Nemesis did not want to explain it too much.
“… How did know?”
“It was true…”
When Nemesis did not deny it, she saw deep disgust on Victoria’s face, as well as a moment of disbelief on her part.
However, Nemesis did not pay much attention to Victoria’s reaction and put her arms together and crossed them under her voluptuous breasts.
“That bald man was a bad drug dealer I was secretly chasing. “The drugs he was secretly distributing had spread to the southwestern part of the continent that I managed, so I couldn’t stand by and watch.”
Victoria continued her words coldly and looked pitifully at the Nemesis in front of her.
Giving Victoria’s gaze lightly, Nemesis reached out her hand to the coffee cup on her table.
“The location was identified just yesterday evening, and the person was apprehended without delay. But when I caught him, he started talking strange things. He says he’s the Goddess of Vengeance’s man and all.”
Victoria gently pursed her lips, showing disdain that she had no intention of hiding.
“At first, I thought it was just nonsense, but something felt strong, so I used magic to check the bald man’s memories. Then I saw a prostitute who gave her breasts to the man who lived with her and even served him personally.”
Nemesis, who was taking a sip of coffee, soon understood the situation.
It seems that she had the misfortune of being caught by Victoria on her way home with her bald head still intact after breaking up with her in the back alley yesterday.
Since he was a very reckless man to begin with, Nemesis didn’t think he was particularly unexpected.
“You have the worst eye for choosing a man to cheat on.”
Victoria, looking down at her Nemesis with her chin raised, was sarcastic at her openly.
Nemesis kept his mouth shut, but he already knew that the bald man was doing a dirty job.
Because he was such a bad criminal, he was deliberately chosen.
He decided that if he had to, he could silence him by killing him.
“Are you the one who killed Bald?”
Nemesis asked in an indifferent voice and put down his coffee cup.
“The evidence was so clear that a summary judgment was made right on the spot. “Are you going to take revenge?”
Victoria said that as if she was provoking her and placed her hand on her own holy sword as if to show off.
However, Nemesis just looked at Victoria calmly and did not show any reaction.
Victoria saw that and soon took her hand off the handle of her sword as if she was bored.
“… I don’t care who you sleep with in bed. “But at least behave so that Ion doesn’t notice.”
Victoria, placing a thin piece of chalcedony on the table, continued her words as if giving a warning.
“The reason I’m not bringing this to the surface is for Ion’s sake, not yours. If Ion finds out what you did, he will definitely blame himself…”
At that moment, the thoughts of a good wife thinking about her husband appeared in Victoria’s eyes.
“But if you keep doing that, I have no choice. So please refrain from doing anything more that will tarnish the name of the goddess. Do you understand?”
Nemesis simply listened to Victoria’s ultimatum without comment.
It seemed like Victoria didn’t know that Ion was currently staying at Aaron Sheed.
Nemesis thought about telling the truth, but decided not to tell.
“What on earth do you like about that bald guy that you did something like that?”
Victoria, with an expression on her face that seemed like she couldn’t understand, suddenly asked that question.
She seemed to be asking the question not out of sarcasm, but out of genuine curiosity.
After a short period of thought, Nemesis gave Victoria her answer.
“You might find out soon enough.”
“… “What are you talking about?”
Victoria twitched her eyebrows reflexively at Nemesis’ incomprehensible answer.
“Think for yourself.”
Nemesis sipped his coffee again without saying anything more.
Victoria, who was looking at Nemesis with disapproval, soon snorted as if she thought it was funny.
“I’ve known it for a long time, but every word and action is getting on my nerves. Are you upset because Ion doesn’t look after you? Or did you really think that sleeping with another man would cure your frigidity?”
At the very moment when Victoria sarcastically spoke, there was a slight crack in the coffee cup Nemesis was holding.
Nemesis glared harshly at Victoria for touching one of her few vices.
And Victoria responded to Nemesis’ life with her ice-cold eyes.
The cold air flowing between the two became indescribably thicker, and just as each other’s weapons were slowly coming out of their sheaths, an unexpected person entered the calm before the storm.
“Woah, goddesses… !!”
The store owner opened the door without knocking and suddenly appeared, pounding his chest and quickly catching his breath.
Due to the unexpected appearance of the store owner, Nemesis and Victoria unconsciously gathered their attention and focused their attention on the store owner.
“You must avoid everything immediately!!”
“What’s going on?”
“They say there are a bunch of thieves out there right now!”
“A group of thieves?”
As Nemesis and Victoria tilted their heads and asked leisurely, the store owner started to fidget and stamped his feet.
“These are vicious guys who harm women and children without any hesitation! They don’t seem to know that the goddesses are here yet, so take this opportunity to escape through the back door… !”
“Not required.”
Victoria, who sharply cut off the store owner’s words, clearly showing her urgency, stood up from her seat.
And at the same time, Nemesis, who was sitting across from her, also lifted his butt off his chair.
“I just needed something to release some stress, so it worked out well.”
Ignoring the store owner’s concerns, Nemesis and Victoria confidently walked towards the front door where people’s screams were echoing.
Then the embarrassed store owner gasped and tried to dissuade the two goddesses.
“Oh my Goddesses, didn’t I tell you?! A group of thieves have now appeared outside! But why put yourself in such a dangerous place… !”
“Noisy.”
“We don’t have to worry about it. So stay here like a dead rat.”
When the two goddesses spoke with an indescribable sense of intimidation, the store owner couldn’t even utter a word.
“I am enough on my own. “Don’t worry about disturbing me. Just wait here.”
“This is Aaron Sheed, which I manage. “Please leave out uninvited guests.”
Nemesis, holding a dagger in each hand, spoke in her clear voice, but Victoria, holding out her holy sword, snorted and openly ignored her.
The two people, moving their legs side by side like that, soon left the store without any hesitation, fully prepared for battle.
And on that very day, the news that Aaron Sheed’s notorious band of thieves, who were engaged in plundering, had suddenly been completely defeated was featured all over the city.

“Nemesis, where have you been?”
When I opened the front door, Ion, who was wandering around the room, greeted Nemesis, who had returned to the dorm, with socks.
Ion seemed to have waited for her for a night before disappearing without a word from her.
“I came back after taking a quick walk and working some overtime.”
Nemesis sat down on the porch and took off his shoes, briefly condensing the many things that had happened in a short period of time.
“But what is that?”
Nemesis asked, taking off his shoes and standing up, pointing to the kitchen table.
A simple breakfast of unknown origin was placed on the table, which had been empty until we left earlier.
“Did you prepare it for me?”
“Huh…”
Ion lowered his gaze as if embarrassed and nodded awkwardly.
“I wanted to do something for Nemesis, but this was the only thing that came to mind…”
When Ion muttered as if he was being shamed, Nemesis shook his head and replied that this was enough.
“Thank you.”
After briefly thanking her husband for his efforts, she went straight to the table and picked up spoons with Ion.
Nemesis usually skips breakfast, but today he enjoyed a decent meal, slowly savoring the taste of the food.
And when the number of side dishes had decreased to a certain extent, Nemesis said what he had been thinking about whether to say or not.
“The bald one is dead.”
Nemesis, who was pouring water into a cup, announced in a grave tone the death of the man he had served last night.
Then, Ion, who had suddenly heard her shocking information, let out a brief squeak as if he had heard something.
“Lord, are you dead? How… ?”
“I don’t know the details either. “Based on the circumstances, it seems like he died on the street because he was enraged by someone.”
Nemesis moistened his throat with lukewarm water and kept him quiet about the truth.
In order to reveal the truth about Bald Man’s death, he also inevitably had to reveal that he had met Victoria earlier.
However, Nemesis decided that it was not necessary.
Victoria had already left Aaron Sheed anyway, and she didn’t want to bring up her other wife when they were alone together.
“Anyway, since that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to find a new guy.”
When Nemesis put down the spoon and said that, Ion suddenly became silent.
Nemesis glanced at Ion and slightly tilted his head.
“Do you have someone in mind?”
Sensing something about her, Ion’s shoulders shook for a moment as she hinted at what was going through her mind.
It seemed like he had hit the nail on the head.
“If you see a man who has your eyes set on him, just tell him.”
Nemesis said that he would not choose anyone that Ion wanted.
Then, after hesitating for a while, Ion finally revealed the person he had in mind.
And Nemesis, who knew who his next opponent was, frowned on the spot, a rare occurrence.
“It’s really bad…”
