Riezel and every executive of Loki Familia were in Loki's divine room at this moment. "..." Reading Riezel's status that had just been translated by Loki, whether it was the three top executives leading the Loki Familia or the executives like Ais and the others, all fell into a death-like silence. Riezel, brought here by Loki, exposed his status as he intended with her cooperation. However, Riezel chose to disclose it to them. Despite Bete being a rather unpleasant senior, Riezel still chose to let him know his status. Realizing this, Bete was once again realized and astonished. "Who would do such a stupid thing!" Leaving a grumpy remark, Bete left the room more violently and impatiently. Tiona and Tione exchanged glances and then turned to leave as well. "Where are you two going?" Riveria inquired helplessly. ""Dungeon."" The twin sisters' responses were almost synchronized. Seeing even the Amazoness twins were leaving, Riveria sighed and pressed her forehead with her hand. "Those kids just came back from an expedition yesterday. Today, there's a lot of work to be done with the loot, and yet they abandoned it all to go to the dungeon. What's going on?" "Guhahaha! They must have been stimulated, those little rascals." Riveria's sigh of resignation was met with Gareth's involuntary laughter, and he hit the nail on the head. Bete, Tiona, and Tione were indeed stimulated. Stimulated by Riezel's inhuman potential. Stimulated by Riezel's rapid growth speed. "Did they realize there's a monster chasing them from behind, worried their junior might surpass them?" Loki chuckled, looking like she enjoyed the chaos she caused. "You knew it would turn out like this, yet still intentionally make this happen, no?" Finn looked at Loki helplessly. "Well, isn't that great?" Loki chuckled skeptically. "Maybe this can bring new energy and motivation to those kids. Just thinking about it gets me excited." "You Gods always enjoy watching these unpredictable developments unfold..." Gareth discontentedly remarked. "Now, all the work of handling loot falls on us old folks. Can't those little rascals take care of the elderly?" "Well, since it's come to this, let them do as they please," Riveria said tiredly, shook her head, and then looked towards Riezel. "It's tough for you to reveal detailed information about your status like this. Don't worry, despite Bete, Tiona, and Tione seeming hasty and impatient, they know their limits. They won't casually expose your secrets." Her voice softened as she spoke to him. "I know." Riezel calmly smiled at Riveria. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to reveal it." Based on his understanding of the original work and familiarity with the important characters of Loki Familia, he believed that everyone present could be trusted. Even with Bete's shitty attitude, Riezel knew that deep down, he wasn't a bad guy; it was just a result of his difficult experiences that made him speak harshly. So, Riezel chose not to hide the details of his status. This decision was made with future development in mind. After all, he would inevitably need to seek advice from these Familia seniors in the future, asking them to guide him. Whether it was magic or combat skills, he had a lot to learn, and showcasing his potential like this, gaining the attention of Familia executives, was necessary. Loki seemed to see through Riezel, and doubts crept into her mind. 'This kid didn't have this attitude when he received a blessing three days ago.' At that time, she thought he wouldn't easily integrate and mingle into the Familia. Who would have thought that once he recognized all of Familia's executives, he would start demonstrating his value? Quite clever. "You can consult us anytime; it's okay. We'd be happy to guide a rookie with unlimited potential like you." Finn also sensed Riezel's intentions. Riveria and Gareth nodded in agreement. "Thank you." Riezel bowed his head to everyone in gratitude. Unbeknownst to him, Ais, who had remained silent behind him, was watching him intensely. In her eyes, there was nothing but envy.
