The Sun God’s Dilemma II

The Sun God also loathes when someone is more powerful than he is. It gives him apprehension. Helios glances at Louise from the corner of his eye and notices she is busy listening to the meeting with the others.

Helios admitted Louise was indeed a beautiful woman. She even knows how she carries herself and Helios could see it. He notices her aura is powerful as well, and this is the same aura which intimidates him. It even reminded him of someone he loves. And this person is Marie Paulina Ainsworth, who adopted him back in the day and she is also very nice and sweet to him. Thanks to this, he ended up falling for her so hard, and this caused him to become very desperate to gain her love no matter what. Helios will go to any lengths to prove his worth to her. He even killed that man who stood in his way to her because of his envy and jealousy, and this love remained for a while until Helios met Louise.

And speaking of Louise, there is also one thing the Sun God observed about her. Louise almost looked somewhat like Paulina in a way. They are both beautiful and intelligent and Louise appears to be a younger version of the directress, but with a different hairstyle, hair colour, and the way she dressed. They both have the same facial features and it was frightening. He now wonders about their relationship with each other. Helios wanted to know about her, since he became curious.

Anyway, Helios wanted Paulina for himself, he had always seen her as the perfect woman, someone to desire, the only woman he wanted around, but to be honest, Helios does not know what just happened because all he thought about was Louise lately despite their relationship with each other. Helios felt like something had changed within him as he thought about this. The Sun God didn’t even notice the change until now.

Did he actually become so blinded by his love towards Paulina? Not only that, he also became blinded with so much envy and jealousy, especially towards Paulina’s late husband and it drove him nuts! It caused quite a chaos. Helios was driven by his need for success, power, vengeance, and to rise above the people who destroyed him. It is one reason he desires to rule this planet so badly. He even sought a powerful artefact to help him rule the world and to sate his dreams with reality!

The Sun God wanted some people to suffer and die! No! He wanted to kill all other races except for white people, pure white people, no democracy, no monarchy, only the oppression of the opposite and a better world. Not only that, he will still continue to make the Association suffer in every chance he gets!!

He is not just Helios…

He is Lord Helios, the God Emperor of Terra!! The ruler of this planet and the Supreme Leader of Radiant, the New World Order!

“My Lord? Lord Helios?”

The sound of Lucius’s voice quickly snaps Helios from his thoughts. Then he immediately turns his head towards Lucius with a displeased expression.

“What?” He snapped coldly.

This caused the others to glance at his way. They tried not to say anything in fear he would angrily snapped at them. Even Loiuse glanced at him for a moment with a slight frown on her face before looking away. Helios just ignored this for now.

“Um.. are you alright? You have been spacing out for quite some time already…” Lucius asked him with concern. His voice was loud for only Helios to hear.

Helios just blinked and didn’t even realise he had spaced out halfway through the meeting. It seems like he had a lot of things on his mind these past months.

“I am fine. It’s just I have some things on my mind…” he replies in a soft voice.

“Oh, do you want to talk about it later on?”

Helios just nodded, while looking away at once, but Lucius knew it was bothering his Lord for quite some time already and he could see it in his eyes. Then Lucius glanced at Motohama’s way, who seemed to agree with him. They both know something is going on with Lord Helios.

Not only that, Lord Helios is very secretive about such things. They know he doesn’t share things easily at all. Motohama doesn’t know much about him, not even his secrets. Perhaps only a few things about his Lord, but the rest, not really. Moto is mostly aware of his plans. His plans for world domination. He wanted him to succeed with his goals. Just like Lord Helios, Motohama wanted a better world. He wanted to purify the world from the unworthy, imperfect, flawed, and impure.

It seems both Helios and Lucius are going to have a long talk later on. Motohama cannot even join their discussion, since it will be personal unless Helios lets him join them. He knew his Lord values his privacy so much and Moto didn’t want to intrude on Helios’s private life or else his Lord will become pissed at him.

Helios’s temper can be horrible. Such a temper he got. It was very terrifying and Motohama had witnessed it all. And being at the end of it was a worse idea they could ever do to themselves. Some ended up dead because of it and since then, no one dared pissed him off, and thinking about it gives Moto shivers down his spine.

Then after a while, the meeting concluded and everyone immediately got up from their seats and went out of the room as fast as they could, leaving the man, Helios, Lucius, Motohama, Louise, Ryan, and the high-ranked members of Radiant in the room.

Everyone was silent as they stared at each other. Helios coldly eyed every person in the room, especially at Louise and Ryan, whom he hates. The man gulped in fear when he saw Lord Helios acting this way towards his other guests. Then he looked at the duo and noticed their calmness in this situation. The man was curious about their relationship with the Sun God. It seemed complicated.

“So Madam Peverell, we should conduct a business meeting between my company and Peverell Industries in the future.”

“Alright, I’ll ask my younger brother, Antonio about it if he could meet up with you in the future, since he is the CEO, while I took over the Peverell family and I am handling all the official affairs of the family in an orderly manner.” She told him with a smile. “And I have been the head of the family for years already. I am also known as a matriarch.”

“Oh? Interesting. I know the Peverell family is one of the oldest and wealthiest families in the world since the Victorian era. Not only that, your family is powerful, and kept its noble blooded status for many generations. So they still consider you as an aristocrat.” the man said as he remembers reading about the family.

“Ah, yes, it is not surprising since my family is full of politicians, lawyers, engineers, doctors, scientists, law enforcers, arms dealers, entrepreneurs, military veterans, and other influential people. Not just the Peverell family, but the other family branches as well.”

And from the corner of their eye. Both Louise and the man could see the anger and envy on Helios’s face, especially when Louise’s true social status was being revealed and mentioned. It is something he didn’t expect at all. He clenched his hands into a fist as he listened.

“Wow, that’s so impressive. I bet you have tons of connections, then.”

“Hehe, you do not know how true that is! But yeah, I made a lot of connections over the years. Some of them I met through my grandfather and my father during those events and parties they often held in our ballroom back in the day. So that is a lot of business partners and business associates. Sometimes there are also government officials and known politicians. I even met their children, my fellow peers who even went to my birthday parties over the years.”

“Ah, you mean an exclusive type of banquet where all the most powerful, wealthy, prominent and privileged people often gather and mingle? Also known as the power elite of society? I even heard it is hard to attend because they need to be invited by the host or hostess themselves. Not only that, such a gathering can be grand.”

“Yes, it is the same one where my younger brother and I often attended back in the day. And most of my peers are fellow heirs or heiresses. And ‌my father or grandfather often hosted them.” Louise said, as she nodded. “Most of these banquets happen in our ancestral house back in London, since our estate has a vast ballroom that can accommodate many people, the only one which contains a ballroom. However, we barely used it for years unless I held another exclusive banquet.”

“Indeed, or another party; such as a birthday party or a Yule Ball, or we just refer to it as the Annual Winter Solstice Ball.” Ryan added with a grin. “And everyone will be there too, right Louise?”

“Yes, we will have another one this upcoming winter. It is mostly a tradition now and you know what I should start fixing the guest list as soon as possible. So I would know who to invite this time.” Louise tapped her chin thoughtfully as she looked at everyone in the room, especially at Helios and his group.

However, Helios was not happy at all. He was fuming with rage and hate, while listening to their conversion about the lives of the high-society, since he was not born from it. The Sun God is actually an orphan and his birth parents gave him away for adoption and they didn’t tell him the reason. It hurt him when they did this to him. He felt abandoned and lonely because of this. Helios has been through too much hell for many years. His life was so hard and he knows it too well. The people in the foster created treated him unfairly.

They mocked, abused, and bullied him and they turned a blind eye towards his pain. No one seemed to like him at all. Not even back when Helios was still living in the Association. Everyone disdained him, both from outside and inside of the organisation, causing him to resent and hate them so much.

And since he is now powerful and a God, they ended up fearing him and joining him, but it doesn’t stop Helios from making them suffer by letting them do the dirty work and punishing them every time they failed.

He crossed his arms with a huff. Soon Helios realises he knows nothing about her, including her personal favourites and dislikes. This caused him to become more curious. Not only that, they are both from different worlds. Louise was born from old money and is part of the high-society. He even grew to envy and hate the people who came from there, since they never experienced what he had been through for years. Also, most of them loved to mock and bully him during his time in the De Luca Manor, always reminding him he has no right to Paulina’s wealth because he is a freak. Helios tries to reach their level of wealth as much as he can by working hard on the organisation just to get them to like him. But it doesn’t seem to work at all.
