The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 1201 - 12: One Punch Shatters the Emperor’s Soul, From Now On You Belong to Me

Chapter 1201: Chapter 12: One Punch Shatters the Emperor’s Soul, From Now On You Belong to Me

"By Phanes, are you treating us? Did I hear that correctly?"

The young man named "Alexander" responded with a teasing scold to his mischievous friend,

"Is it going to be like before, where you pretend to pass out at the end and leave me to foot the bill?"

"This time is different, I swear I’m treating!"

Caesar promised earnestly, his face full of sincerity.

But Alexander still didn’t believe him and looked at this mischievous friend with a skeptical gaze:

"Last time in Greece you said the same thing, then after the meal you lay down, vomiting blood, and accused someone of poisoning your meal to harm you as a Divine Blood Noble of the Roman Empire. The frightened owner not only waived our bill but also gave us money to settle the matter privately."

Mentioning this dark history, Caesar couldn’t help but cough repeatedly.

Poor people have short ambitions, lean horses have long hair.

Back when he was studying and seeking refuge in Greece, he couldn’t scrape together even a few copper coins, so to treat the friend who had helped him so much, he had to resort to a bit of unscrupulous behavior

— using a Magic Potion he concocted and his identity as a Roman Divine Descendant to scam a restaurant in the city with a not-so-great reputation.

Afterward, he and Alexander split the compensation sum.

If he remembers correctly, this mischievous friend took more than he did.

Caesar glared at Alexander, angrily saying:

"Do you really think I can’t afford it!"

With that, he fished out two shiny Silver Heras from his pocket and flaunted them in front of Alexander, showing off his financial power and sincerity in treating them.

Noticing the familiar aura lingering on those two silver coins, Luo En, standing behind them, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

This money seemed to be his...

Earlier, when they were in Claudius’s private residence, Caesar had earnestly cried poverty, claiming he couldn’t come up with any money to pay for that cup of flower tea, clearly lying.

If there hadn’t been this recruitment, this fellow would have obviously not intended to acknowledge the debt.

Sly old fox!

You’re treating, and I’m paying, right?

Luo En silently cursed with a smile, but didn’t expose Caesar’s charade.

And realizing that the Greek guest behind him was not angry, Caesar’s courage grew, and he generously tossed out his last remaining wealth:

"Take it, have your people buy some wine and food!"

Alexander took the silver coin and tossed it to a handsome, burly young warrior with long flaxen hair standing behind him, instructing:

"Hold onto it, Hephaestion, and go to the market to buy some wine and dishes."

The young man furrowed his brow, slightly hesitant.

He was Alexander’s closest confidant and most loyal subordinate, responsible for advising this majesty and ensuring his safety.

At present, due to some matters, they were not doing well, having just fled from Macedonia to here.

Although this Julius Divine Blood Noble in Rome had provided them with a resting place, over time, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t harbor other thoughts.

After all, they had plenty of enemies now, with many people wanting to take their heads to the War God Mountain for a reward.

"Don’t keep us waiting too long, hurry up!"

Hearing the monarch urge once again, Hephaestion had no choice but to suppress his worries and go out to buy the wine.

Watching the loyal bodyguard leave, Alexander turned to Caesar and teased:

"You’re actually willing to spend money to treat us, have you hit the jackpot?"

"Not yet. But soon enough."

Caesar replied with a cheeky grin,

Having heard enough of his mischievous friend’s fantasies, Alexander habitually skipped over them and curiously studied Luo En standing behind Caesar, asking:

"You even brought a friend along?"

"Kind of like half a teacher of mine. He heard me mention you during recess and was very interested in your experiences, so he came along to check it out."

Caesar answered with a mix of truth and lies.

And Luo En, while smiling to show goodwill, quietly observed the legendary Alexander the Great, who was known to sweep across Europe and establish a vast military empire.

If he remembers correctly, his mother’s name was Olympias, endowed with extraordinary skills, enjoying sleeping with pythons, and was prophesied in Greece as the twelfth mortal lover of Zeus.

On the night of her marriage to the King of Macedonia, Olympias dreamed that a lightning bolt struck her, igniting a fire on her body. The fire spread over her and then gradually died out,

Resulting in Alexander’s conception and subsequent birth.

Whose child it was was as clear as day.

Thus, by bloodline and order, this Alexander the Great should presumably call him "Fifth Brother."

However, as the posthumous son of Zeus and heir to Macedonia, why wasn’t he staying in Greece, and instead found himself in Rome in such a destitute state?

In response to Luo En’s indirect inquiry, Alexander replied with a wry smile:

"Don’t mention it, it’s all due to the lack of money, same as Caesar."

Say this, the Macedonian Prince openly recounted his series of misfortunes.

Due to his status as an illegitimate child, he wasn’t favored by his father Philip II and was even exiled from Macedonia along with his mother.

However, his father’s luck wasn’t great either, as he was assassinated by a guard during a wedding not long after, leading Macedonia into internal chaos.

Alexander seized the opportunity, returned with confidants to his homeland, and successfully inherited his father’s throne, becoming the King of Macedonia.

But after gaining power, Alexander discovered that his late father had left him a huge problem.

At this time, Macedonia was in an awkward position, with only 60 Talents of wealth left on the treasury’s books and foreign debt amounting to 500 Talents due to years of warfare.
