[74] This Marriage Has Been Approved!

Arriving at Loki's room, it was much larger and more luxurious than August's room. After all, Loki was a goddess, and his residence was naturally not simple.

"Loki, I brought August with me."

Upon arriving, Ais directly pushed open the door, causing August's eyebrows to twitch. So powerful? Not even a knock?

"Ah~, Ais-chan, you finally came to see me. Let me give you a hug."

Saying that, she rushed over, attempting to tackle Ais.

Ais, however, skillfully grabbed Loki's arm and threw her out.

Watching Loki fall to the ground with a 'bang,' August couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Judging by the situation, this wasn't the first or second time this had happened.

At this moment, Loki also noticed August, who had just entered.

"You jerk, help me up quickly."

"Oh~"

August hurried over to help Loki up. After all, she was a goddess from his familia.

Loki sighed slightly as she looked at August. Since the last time August updated his ability values and gained the 'Lust' skill, she knew that trouble was inevitable for her familia in the future.

Now, in just a few days, her beloved Ais had fallen into his clutches. Thinking about what Riveria had said at the beginning, Loki didn't know if this was good or bad. Lust was indeed a huge weakness, if someone with ill intentions targeted him, it could easily lead to trouble.

The word 'lust' was like a double-edged sword. This was no joke.

However, in the blink of an eye, Loki's worries and concerns disappeared, replaced by a reckless and unrestrained attitude.

"You little rascal, you really laid your hands on our Ais. Do you know she's our precious? We've said it many times, you absolutely cannot lay a finger on her."

Loki grabbed August's collar, and it seemed like she was about to explode in a scene where the father-in-law was about to beat up his son-in-law.

"That, feelings and atmosphere were right, and I'm a big man, how can I endure it?"

"Nonsense. You just can't control yourself down there. I'm going to make you suffer."

With that, Loki's knee aimed towards August, launching an assault.

Seeing this, August's scalp went numb, and he quickly retreated, avoiding the attack.

If he took this knee strike, it would definitely be a serious blow.

"You actually dodged. You rascal."

"Hey, Loki, it's a mutual thing."

"I don't care. Come over here and let me kick you."

"Forget it. This matter concerns Ais's future happiness. If I take this kick, I won't be able to endure it, and Ais won't be able to either."

Hearing August's explicit words, Loki became even angrier.

But looking at Ais, whose face was slightly red, with a shy expression, Loki felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her beloved daughter had been taken away by this scoundrel.

After causing a commotion for a while, Loki's anger also subsided. It was almost enough. She wasn't the kind of god who ignored reason.

"You little rascal, remember this. Ais is our treasure. Now, we've entrusted her to you. If you dare to make her suffer even a bit, I will make you wish you were dead, and Ais won't be able to endure it either."

Loki said this with a stern expression, and her narrowed eyes stared at August.

In that instant, August had a feeling that Loki could see through him from head to toe.

"Ais is my treasure, and I will naturally spend my whole life protecting her."

"Remember what I said. Otherwise, don't blame me for not cherishing old feelings in the future."

"This kind of thing is absolutely impossible."

Loki snorted, but she also agreed to this marriage.

Moreover, now that August and Ais were together, August was completely tied to Loki Familia.

In addition to the previous cooperation between August and Hephaestus Familia, August was now considered the successor to Finn.

In the next few years, when Finn stepped down and August grew up, the position of familia leader would naturally fall into August's hands.

"By the way, this is what Finn brought over yesterday. Take it."

"What is it?"

"It's your share of the bonus from this collaboration."

"How much is it?"

"27 million valis."

When this number came out, August was momentarily stunned, followed by a burst of ecstasy.

He was considered a rich man now. 27 million could buy so many things. Of course, in terms of weapons, August no longer planned to buy them himself. If needed, he could just go to Tsubaki directly.

Ordinary weapons couldn't withstand the consumption of his treasury.

The weapons he bought for 200,000 before were almost exhausted, otherwise, August wouldn't have been using a sword for the past period.

"Ais, let's go out for a nice meal later. My treat."

"Okay."

Ais nodded and felt happy for August.

Although 27 million wasn't a small sum for her, it wasn't too much either.

On the side, Loki looked at this scene and revealed an auntie smile.

Unlike Lefiya, she treated Ais with the indulgence of a mother, similar to how most fathers treated their daughters like little cotton jackets.

"Come over. Since you're here, let me update your status. Don't bother me later."

"Sure."

August quickly took off his upper garment. Now, August was no longer the weak appearance from before.

Although he couldn't be considered very strong, he had developed abdominal muscles, and his body looked comfortable.

Loki took out a needle, pricked her finger, and dripped divine power onto August's back.

Then, a white light flashed, and August's favorability ability values began to rise.

[Augustus Divus Pracentum]

[LV·2]

[Strength: H·130-- >D·560]

[Endurance: H·180-- >D·580]

[Technique: H·100-- >D·510]

[Agility: H·160-- >D·570]

[Magic Power: H·190-- >D·520]

[Skill: Gate of Babylon: King's Treasure, Armament Haki, Lust]

[Magic: Blink, Getsuga Tenshou]

[Development Skills: Mystery]

All ability values had increased significantly, with an increase of over four hundred. This was truly terrifying.

Moreover, August had gained another magic this time.

This made Loki very speechless. Weren't your skills and magic free? Why did they increase every time?

"Here, your ability values have increased quite a bit, and you've gained another magic. I really doubt if you're even human, you little rascal."

Loki handed over the recorded ability values to August, her face full of complaints.

August took a look, and indeed, although the ability values had increased quite a bit, the increase from absorbing lust wasn't taken into account. Getsuga Tenshou was also classified as a magic in his status.

But this was understandable. Injecting magic power into the sword to transform it into a crescent moon slash was indeed a kind of magic.
