"Elise?" Both Loriel and Dante paused their attacks at the sight of her. She winced her eyes in concern because both Loriel and Dante were injured beyond belief and yet immediately stayed away from each other.
Alexei, who opened up the portal, flew off in Dante's direction and as soon as the older god was within his reach, he threw a punch across Dante's face. "You lied to me all this time, you bastard!"
Tears welled up in his eyes as he deliver another blow, which Dante didn't try to dodge.
"Alexei…" The older god looked at Alexei with regret in his eyes. He could guess that Elise must have told Alexei the truth and now the young man was mad at him.
Well... Dante couldn't blame Alexei for his punches. He knew he deserved them.
"I am utterly disappointed with you," Alexei said with gritted teeth. "If you didn't raise me, I would have killed you on the spot."
Alexei threw Dante a reproachful glare, and then looked away.
