Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 405 - 188 How are you so skilled?_3

Negotiations were still ongoing, with constant tugging and mutual compromise.

Philomena, only just recovering from severe injuries, had no interest in meddling in the messy political negotiations, so she tossed the matter to headquarters to negotiate with the Magic Department themselves.

In her office, she received Wayne, with twins guarding the door, and set up a soundproof barrier.

At Wayne’s request, Chris followed into the office, clearly a disciple of the Moonlight Church, yet stood behind Wayne, causing Philomena’s eyelids to twitch uncontrollably, her heart filled with displeasure.

After the battle, Wayne had taken Chris away like she was some sort of treasure, making Philomena feel like an outsider.

Your girlfriend is lying in bed recovering, and you bring a young girl home, what kind of boyfriend does that?

Philomena glared at Wayne in a fit of anger; the effect was mediocre. When she glared at Chris, the effect was outstanding, forcing Chris to lower her head, unable to meet her gaze.

Why do you lower your head, why can’t you look me in the eye?

Philomena’s head throbbed, sensing that something terrible had happened while she was unconscious, her suspicious gaze shifting back and forth between Wayne and Chris.

"High Priest, did you invite me here for a reason?"

Wayne broke the awkward silence, "If it’s to enjoy the beauty of Lundan, I don’t think it’s necessary, not to mention your injuries haven’t healed, and considering the current situation, the Moonlight Church needs your efforts in many areas."

Philomena was furious, what High Priest, there was no High Priest, she had told him to call her Mina.

She looked at Wayne irritably and protested, "Before you used to call me Mina with such passion, why have you changed your tune today?"

Chris covered her mouth; Wayne hadn’t told her about this.

Well...

Wayne must have his reasons; he represented the interests of the Magic Department and couldn’t help but to please the High Priest.

Chris’s mind raced, quickly finding an excuse for Wayne, well aware the reason didn’t hold water, a case of self-deception, but she couldn’t help believing it anyway.

Wayne gave a strained smile, not knowing how to face Philomena, and the atmosphere in the room fell silent.

"Chris, you go out first, I need to talk to Wayne alone for a moment."

Philomena ordered, and after Chris left with frequent backward glances, she got up, sat on Wayne’s lap, and tears began to stream down her face.

It’s over!

Wayne, frightened, went pale and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the beauty’s eyes, plucking up the courage to say, "Mina, what’s wrong, has the Magic Department mistreated you? Tell me, I’ll curse them for you."

"Mind your own business!"

Philomena looked at him tearfully, snatched Wayne’s hand, and used the handkerchief to wipe her tears, "You bastard, taking advantage of playing the hero to make a move on Chris, she’s young, better than me in every way, right?"

Of course!

"Stop talking nonsense, she’s not as pretty as you, nor does she have your charm."

Wayne thought to himself that this was trouble, if he didn’t clear things up today, the Magic Department would definitely make things difficult for him.

He wasn’t too concerned about that – if the sky fell, Austin would hold it up, it couldn’t touch him – but the key point was...

There was no need to push his own people to the opposing side, especially over something as frivolous as emotions.

No choice then, he had to continue being a scoundrel!

Without another word, Wayne grasped Philomena’s chin and kissed her fiercely. Her eyes widened as the tears stopped and, after a bit of resistance, she gave in.

Wayne pulled the beauty into his arms and smacked his lips, "Mina, you should know how I feel about you. The first time I played the hero was an accident, but the second time, without love, it simply wouldn’t have happened. Honestly, you were being a bit unreasonable today, and it made me lose face."

Philomena’s gaze was hazy, and upon hearing this, her lips pursed in dissatisfaction, "Bastard, how come you’re so skilled?"

She lay in Wayne’s embrace, suspecting that her little boyfriend had been practicing on Chris.

She was the first one before!

"Why are you being unreasonable again, I even think you’re skilled, but I didn’t say anything."

Wayne deftly deflected the blame onto her, and after strategizing during this period, he had figured out Philomena’s preferences and drew her chin closer for another deep kiss.

Smooch, smooch~~

"Any more problems?"

"Yes."

"Then let’s continue."

Wayne showed a very assertive side, and after chatting with Philomena for ten minutes, he dispelled her doubts, sweet-talking her until her heart melted.

Although there were still many doubts that would arise if she thought about it, the lazy high priest couldn’t be bothered to think anymore.

"Mina, taking Chris wasn’t to guard against you. Who do you think you are, don’t I know? I’m guarding against the Magic Department."

Wayne earnestly made his case, "Those legendary mages are no good. If I leave Chris unattended, they’ll definitely take the opportunity to abduct her. For the interest of the Moonlight Church, you must protect her during this negotiation."

Philomena nodded, she had already planned to do so even without Wayne’s words.

Just in case, she said, "It’s not just the Magic Department. The Church headquarters may also have ideas. The best way is for me to take her as a student and stimulate the power of the divine blood to help her grow quickly."

While speaking, she scrutinized Wayne’s expression and, seeing that he just nodded, lit up with a joyful smile.

Wayne nodded expressionlessly but secretly broke out in a cold sweat, realizing the thin line he was walking was fraught with the risk of capsizing at any moment.

If that happened, Philomena could make a scene with the Magic Department, then at Lando Manor, and shout it out loud...

The latest Lundan joke!

Never mind, let’s take it one step at a time, it hasn’t capsized yet!

Wayne was well aware that he couldn’t protect Chris with his current power. It wasn’t the theft he feared, but the thief’s covetousness; he needed to involve the Moonlight Church. If Philomena could train Chris into the Holy Maiden of the Moonlight Church, those legendary mages might be slightly more wary.

Wayne thought of a lot, realizing it’s better to rely on oneself than others, and that he must quickly increase his strength.

The Obelisk!

Finding the Obelisk that fell into the sea and gathering two, he would be able to confidently plunder from his elemental countrymen.

"What are you thinking about, not saying anything for so long?"

"Of course, I was thinking about you. I’ll come over to your place tonight. It’s been a while since I applied night cream for you."

"Hmph, you little pervert."

"Do you like it?"

"Mhm."
