Chapter 782 - Attracting the Fish

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Brunhilda nodded after hearing Li Yunmu’s word. It was likely that it was Li Yunmu’s way of controlling people!

Brunhilda didn’t continue asking. She was quite eager to go out together with Scandinavian God Council to battle and kill enemies.

But unfortunately, Li Yunmu didn’t allow her to go on the battlefield. He was baiting a large fish, and only when he hooked it would it be the best time for them to attack.

Brunhilda originally had an irritable temperament, and she became even more irritated after hearing Li Yunmu’s words. “My father is already killing enemies on the battlefield, and you want to tell me that I should watch with my arms folded?”

“Why are you getting anxious? I want them to think that Scandinavia cannot withstand a single blow to confuse them and draw out an even larger fish. Then we can catch them all in one swoop. Wait for a while. I guarantee that I won’t let anything happen to Odin!”

Brunhilda was skeptical of Li Yunmu’s words, but she could only trust his decision.

“If you are bored, then go see Athena! Maybe you can extract some information out of her mouth. In a while, when the larger fish takes the bait, I will dispatch people to kill the enemies on the battlefield! There will certainly be an opportunity for you to join the fray! You don’t need to worry!”

Brunhilda was silent for a moment after hearing Li Yunmu’s words, then calmly said, “That’s alright! I will go and interrogate Athena then! She had been under house arrest for many days, so she probably doesn’t know the situation outside!”

By then, Athena, who was under house arrest, had began to get anxious. She desperately wanted to inform Zeus that he shouldn’t commit any foolish acts since everything was a ploy by Li Yunmu!

If he forced the situation, it would end up really terrible!

Athena paced in her room, unable to do anything else. She had thought of forcing her way out, but Thunder God Thor was keeping guard over her. He didn’t even go to the battlefield to fight against Heavenly Gods Council and just kept watch over Athena.

Her was suspicious of her being disloyal, so he never let her leave his eyes. If she really made some weird movements, he would definitely not let her go.

Thor would never tolerate anyone who would harm Scandinavia, and Athena was someone who needed monitoring in his heart.

“I want to go out! I want to see Li Yunmu!” Athena hysterical shouted to Thor, but he only smiled coldly.

“Without his approval, you shouldn’t even think about going anywhere. I had a feeling that there was something wrong with you for a long time! Are you a spy set up by Zeus at Li Yunmu’s side? Speak, what is Zeus’ aim?”

“I am not! I never did anything to let Li Yunmu or Scandinavia down! Even if you keep pressuring me, I still won’t admit to it,” Athena said emotionally.

“Elder brother, let her out for the time being. She indeed isn’t a traitor to Li Yunmu and Scandinavia!”

Brunhilda’s appearance startled Athena, and Thor asked with a frown, “What do you mean?”

“She isn’t a traitor to Scandinavia, but her father has already appeared in front of Scandinavia while leading Heavenly Gods Council. He is really eager to annihilate Scandinavia!”

Thor’s eyes filled with rage, and he suddenly grabbed Athena’s neck. “You bunch of bastards! Why do you always want to hurt our Scandinavia?”

Athena felt a pressing sensation on her neck, which made her suffocate. Her face turned red and she stammered, I-I haven’t let down Scandinavia...”

“Elder brother, let her go! Li Yunmu has said that she has to be kept alive. She has other uses!”

“Hmph!” Thor angrily glared at Athena and said, “Then what are you waiting for? Why are you here and not fighting against the enemy?”

“Li Yunmu told me that he was trying to hook a larger fish. Before it is caught, he won’t raise the net.”

Thor didn’t understand the meaning behind Brunhilda’s words and angrily said, “You keep a watch on this woman then! I will and get rid of those guys of Heavenly Gods Council!”

Brunhilda then turned to Athena. “Right now, your identity is relatively special, so it would be better if you stayed here. Like this, I can remove the suspicion placed upon you. Otherwise, even I wouldn’t let you go, let alone Li Yunmu.”

Athena went silent, and any hope she had in her heart turned to dust. She never thought that her father would do such a foolish thing and try to obstruct Li Yunmu! Clearly, it was a scheme against him, and he had jumped in without much prodding.

Athena didn’t know what to say, because she knew that Li Yunmu definitely wouldn’t let Zeus go. If them went as far as marrying his own daughter to someone, he shouldn’t constantly set himself up against that person!

Zeus should have known that Li Yunmu was very difficult to deal with, but unfortunately, he loved to take risks. When Athena thought about it, tears poured down from her eyes.

Brunhilda could understand why Athena was crying. After all, who wanted to see constant battles between their father and their husband.

But this time’s battle was just too ruthless. Whether it were men or gods, all of them were greedy, and that greed was the main reason behind that battle.

Who knew when the fish would take the bait, but Li Yunmu could be considered to be a very patient fisherman.

Scandinavian God Council and Heavenly Gods Council were busy fighting with each other. When Thor joined in, the close quarter battle became even more ruthless.

Because of the assistance of the three Egyptian Gods, the battle between the two sides soon reached its climax. While the two sides were busy fighting with each other, the people of Cangyue Sect couldn’t endure it anymore and appeared in the battle.

“Report! Lord son-in-law, Cangyue Sect’s people have appeared! They have also come to fight against Scandinavia!”

A hint of happiness passed through Li Yunmu’s eyes, and he immediately said, “Quickly inform the princess to proceed toward the battlefield.”

At that moment, Li Yunmu’s gaze fell upon Cass, who was sitting nearby. Seeing him bitterly cultivating, Li Yunmu smiled slightly.

“Cangyue Sect’s people have arrived. Youngster, do you want to come with me to the frontlines to take a look?”

Cass coldly snorted, then said,”This is your matter, and it has no relation to me. I only want to focus on my cultivation!”

Li Yunmu nodded, then proceeded to the frontline. Brunhilda also entered the fray mediately after receiving Li Yunmu’s notice.

Athena was left alone in the dark room with a chest full of regret. Back then, she should not have married Li Yunmu, but stayed by her father’s side so he would not make such horrible judgments.
