greek gods in new york

I was still too naive to have hope for the so-called "Loki's help".

He is the famous god of lies in Norse mythology, and a famous shit-stirring stick. If you expect him to come up with a serious solution, it is better to hope that Zeus will come to his senses and stop cheating on his loyalty to the queen Hera.

Fortunately, he has the face to talk about the relationship between the door and the door after leaving.

However, Rocky not only has a face, but is even righteous.

I rejected him on the spot.

But after the turmoil in the restaurant, Rocky still refused to give up.

In the afternoon, I finished the disciplinary safety education course, packed my backpack, and when I looked up, I saw Rocky, bathed in the surprised and surprised appearance of the passing students, leaning against the door and quietly waiting for me to leave school.

I rolled my eyes.

Ignoring the crowd of onlookers, I passed Rocky directly with my schoolbag on my back, and walked out of the school.

"Just writing an email, Nicole!"

Loki chased after him persistently: "Don't carry Ares all the time--"

I slapped back the next words.

"Keep your voice down!"

I glared at Loki: "Do you want the whole school to treat you and me as crazy?"

Loki pushed my hand away, but lowered his voice: "Don't always hold the arrogance of Ares's daughter. It won't do anything if you rely on others."

"It's not such a simple question." I insisted.

"You, there are too many old gods around you," Loki commented, "all of them are old-fashioned, and they still stick to the creeds and concepts that are thousands of years behind. What is the glory and pride of the old gods? What's the point? Nicole, if you want to go to a good university, relationships are very important, not to let you go through the back door, but to apply for a letter of recommendation."

After finishing speaking, he put on a tone of teaching others.

Don't say it, even if I don't want to hear such words with Aragorn's face, I have to admit that his words have a persuasive force that shouldn't exist.

"In this day and age, the descendants of the elite are still the elite, and the sons and daughters of the rich are still the rich. Are you really a student in the Ivy League, all of whom have outstanding IQs and amazing talents?

"They are just relying on their parents' money and power, so they can brush up their resumes early and get to know bigwigs. If you want to go to the Ivy League, a weighty recommendation letter is very important.

"Now Athena is the Minister of Education of New York State. She randomly assigns a small assistant to help you write a recommendation letter in 10 minutes and sign it yourself, which is enough to change your future destiny. Athena is yours. Dear aunt, you won't even help you with this, right?"

I understand the truth, but——

"The problem isn't that you don't want to trust me," I muttered. "Have you read Greek mythology?"

"Ok?"

"Athena doesn't have a good relationship with my dad."

In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that fire and water are incompatible.

My ancient Greek knowledge was taught by my godfather Fernando. Among the books he told me and bought, Ares and Athena often had conflicts.

This is still the case in the age of theocracy, but in modern times, why would Athena help the daughter of the enemy?

They say they are relatives, but we have never met each other.

Between talking and thinking, Rocky and I have already walked out of the campus.

Then my thinking returned to reality, and I realized a very important problem.

"Where do you live?" I looked at Loki.

"You don't have to worry about it," Rocky smiled, "I'll go to your house first and see you finish writing the email before leaving."

I:"……"

Want to go to my house?What else are you dreaming about!

Just before I said the words of refusal, there was a burst of laughter from a girl behind me.

The laughter suddenly disappeared five steps away from me. I turned around and saw the faces of Catherine and her followers.

Catherine's face suddenly became ugly.

But I guess my expression is not very good.

Disgusting people are like chewing gum, you can't shake them off.

"What a coincidence, Nicole."

Catherine spoke first, with a delicate smirk in cheerleader mode on her face: "And Kaynas."

Loki gave Catherine and her friends a flawless smile: "Catherine."

"You are..."

Catherine looked around in front of Loki and me: "It's all over, are you still reluctant to part?"

Probably because he was afraid that my words would be irritating, Loki suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on my shoulder.

His movements are so natural, it seems like a simple habit.Such behavior made Catherine's complexion change subtly.

"I'll take Nicole home," Loki said frankly.

"I see."

Catherine nodded enviously: "It is true that Nicole should be sent home. The security conditions in the neighborhood where she lives are very poor, and her father...is not very convenient, and he is a disabled person. The people of Kainas are so kind. Someone will take care of Nicole from now on. I'm relieved—ah."

After finishing speaking, Catherine showed a terrified expression and gently covered her mouth.

"I didn't say much, did I? Nicole has such a strong self-esteem, but she has such a good relationship with you, should I have said all of this?"

I twitched the corners of my mouth in embarrassment.

Could you be a little more fake, Catherine.

If I were really the Cinderella favored by the handsome transfer student, I might be so ashamed and angry that I would cry by now.If it was a youth idol drama or a Japanese shojo manga, it would not be an exaggeration to throw off Rocky's hand and run away crying.

But I'm not Cinderella, nor the heroine of a shojo manga.

"Almost got it."

I said impatiently: "Luo—I said Kaynas, he knows—"

Loki tightened his grip on my shoulder.

With a slight force in his arm, he gently pulled me in his direction, but his almost undetectable movements revealed an extraordinarily intimate and blatantly protective gesture.

"I know."

Loki still maintained a warm smile against that handsome god-like face.

"My elder brother and Nicole's grandfather have been good friends for many years," he said. "I also know Nicole's family situation. In fact, John Hawke is my idol, and he is the hero of the DEA Drug Enforcement Administration!"

……what?

His words were so straightforward that even I was stunned to react.

How did my dad become the hero of the DEA, why didn't I know?

Even I didn't react, let alone Catherine.

A "Narcotics Enforcement Administration" and a "hero", the two words landed, in exchange for Catherine's astonished expression and strange silence.

"More than ten years ago, John Hawke was severely injured by the Mexican () drug cartel in order to save his comrades in an undercover operation. Since then, his brain has suffered irreversible damage, and he has become what he is now," Loki made up nonsense without blinking an eye, "Grandpa Nicole told me this... ah."

At the end, Loki paused, and all the smiles on his face disappeared.

He lowered his voice, and even those blue eyes as deep as the sea were brewing a storm.

"You," Loki whispered, "are you laughing at the daughter of a drug hero?"

For a long time to come, Catherine and her followers didn't even dare to breathe.

Loki snorted coldly: "Let's go."

Before Catherine could speak again, he took my shoulders and strode forward.

I took an extra safety education class, and the school bus left long ago, so I had no choice but to take public transportation.

Leaving Catherine and the others behind, I couldn't bear to look straight up at Loki.

The latter gave me a smug expression: "How did you make it up? Anyway, they can't possibly check it out."

Isn't that right? You pointed out that it was an "undercover operation". Even if you really wanted to check, it would be difficult to find out the identity of the undercover agent more than ten years ago.

I'm more concerned about another point...

He said his brother and my grandpa were friends.

I was very baffled: "How could Zeus be friends with your elder brother? Isn't the seniority right?"

Loki: "Odin and Zeus are both the father and the king of the gods, what's wrong?"

Ah? ?

I was taken aback again: "Isn't your brother Thor?"

Loki: "..."

A few cracks finally appeared on that beautiful face that was engraved of Aragorn.

"My foster brother is Odin, not Thor," Loki gritted his teeth, "This is the real generational error. That's why I hate Disney and Marvel, just make it up, and make it popular all over the world! Yours Didn’t the undercover godfather of the Drug Enforcement Administration tell you the story of Norse mythology?”

Uh, actually said it.

But as Rocky said, Marvel is so popular that I didn't realize it for a while.

and--

Why did my godfather also become an undercover agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration, making up stories and bringing series!

"Don't say that."

It can be seen that Loki cares about Marvel helping him lower his seniority.He frowned in displeasure, and adjusted his mood after a while: "I'd better go home with you first, and write an email to Athena. Even if her relationship with Ares is not good, there will be no problem in giving it a try." .”

I slapped his hand away.

"I'll write the email myself," I said, "I'll cc you later."

"I'll help you, it's okay."

"Xiao Ke will bite all alien gods except my godfather, are you sure?"

"Small moment?"

"Cerberus."

It is the three-headed dog in ancient Greece.

Three months ago, Hades, the king of the underworld, and Persephone, the queen of the underworld, came to our door and said that they were planning to travel to Asia, so Xiao Ke had to be fostered in my house temporarily.

In human society, he doesn't have as many heads as in the myth, but transforms into a pit bull.

Even Xiao Ke lost his divine power, but he was a fierce dog, more than enough to bite an adult.

"Ok."

Loki didn't seem to like dogs very much, so he curled his lips: "Then I'll wait for your news."

It had no choice but to be like this.

Isn't it just writing an email? As he said, there will be no problem if you try it.

…………

……

And what I didn't expect was that Athena wrote back to me.

And the reply was very fast. I thought about the sentence the night before and wrote an email to her.At nine o'clock the next morning, she answered the email.

After class, I stopped Rocky in front of the locker who was about to change his textbooks, and said nervously, "She, she returned to me!"

Rocky blinked: "So, what did our respected Ms. Robert say?"

It could also be a rejection, right?

I pursed my lips, took out my phone, and clicked on the email.

But what was presented to me was not agreement or rejection.

There is no long speech, no cynicism, and only a short sentence in the content of the email.

"Let your father marry your godfather"—so says it.

what?

what?

What is Athena talking about?

I was so dazed, so dazed that Loki couldn't help leaning forward and looking at my phone screen.

"Well...it's not impossible." He said seriously.

ah? ? ? ?

I looked at him in shock.

"Harvard University has a certain concern for minorities, the underclass and the marginalized. If your father and godfather are married—"

"Fernando is a Mexican, considered a minority, and Ares's brain is not very good, and he is considered a disabled person," Loki touched the corner of his mouth, "Two men get married, or a same-sex marriage."

In the end, Rocky concluded: "Then you are the daughter of a disabled minority gay couple. The politically correct cannot be more correct. Harvard University will definitely admit you, Nicole!"

I:"……"

Can I lose some more?

So after more than 1000 years, Athena still hates my dad very much!
