Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

’Is this even the Damien that I rescued that day? Why is there an air of confidence around him?… How did he come out of his despair so fast? ’ Lily was puzzled seeing such a change in Damien ’s attitude.

When she rescued him that day, he was like an abandoned wild beast who was trying its best to stay alive, baring its fangs at whoever tries to get close to it even if they were trying to help it.

But now, Damien ’s expressions were composed and seemed a bit laid-back. His way of talking too was different instead of the cold and indifferent tone.

Nestor Rong ’s eyes twitched the moment he heard Damien ’s demand, ”Boy, don ’t go too far! Even the reason you can demand conditions from Her Highness is that she rescued you in the first place. If not for her, you would have died a dog ’s death in that wretched place. Don ’t you know the meaning of gratitude? ”

Nestor Rong thought that Damien was taking advantage of Lily ’s kindness, which for some reason seemed inexplicable to him. But he still didn ’t want to question why at least not in front of Damien.

Damien gave a light scoff, ”It ’s not like I requested to be saved. And I can never guarantee my own life in this place. What if you all just throw me away or worse when I am done being useful? Also, teaching swordsmanship is not an easy business. I just expect to be rewarded for my job. In my perspective, saving my life doesn ’t have anything to do with fairly rewarding someone for doing their job. It ’s not like you can expect me to slave away without getting anything in return just because my life was saved. I don ’t see how things would be any different if that were the case. ”

Nestor Rong ’s vein popped out in anger, ”How can you be so shameless, boy? If we really had some bad designs on you…you wouldn ’t even realize it. Just because Her Highness treated you well, don ’t let it get to your head. ”

But Oswin Rong only had a curious expression on his face as he was observing Damien.

Lily said in an elegant tone, ”It ’s fine, Vice Court Master. Damien does indeed have a point, and it won ’t be right to let him teach me swordsmanship without rewarding his hard work. ”

She then looked at Damien and said with a graceful smile, ”Please mention what your conditions are. ”
