Chapter 262


    “Don’t forget what you said. As long as you finish this perfectly, you’ll be let off the hook.” Hades’ ear


    stud gleamed cunningly, just like his eyes, and his smile made Selena shiver.


    “Yes, but this is the final S-ss. Deal?”


    “Yes, it is.”


    “How should I trust you?” Selena was no fool, for she knew Hades was a capricious man; he could


    be jolly one moment, but a furious demon the next. By now, Selena knew Hades to be an illogical


    and irrational person, as well as an oddity. That was how Selena saw him.


    “So what if you don’t trust me?”


    His reply made her heart sink. He’s ying me for a fool! But he’s right. So what if I don’t trust him?


    What can I do even if he reneges on the promise again? He could make and break me. This man’s


    truly a demon. Selena bit her lip, almost drawing blood, but all she could do was stare at him. She


    couldn’t do anything else.


    “This is thest one.” Hades took off his ring and put it on the table.


    Selena knew that ring; it was Hades’ symbol. Now, he was using the ring as coteral. If he would


    break the promise once again, he would never take the ring back.


    “Alright.” Selena took the ring and left without saying another word. When she went downstairs,


    Selena took Juniper and left without saying goodbye to her colleagues.


    When everyone had seen her off, Hades came down. “Did you fight, boss?” Joshua asked. “Why


    didn’t you tell her you helped her escape when she was in Astoria? She probably doesn’t know it


    yet.”


    “Time for an S-ss mission.” Hades’ gaze darkened.


    Everyone started bing nervous, for it had been a long while since they had an S-ss mission.


    They stood straight, waiting for themand, but Hades didn’t speak for a long while. When


    everyone was starting to look at one another in confusion, he blurted, “Prepare for the proposal.”


    Everyone’s eyes widened.


    “P-Proposal?”

    “Are you sure? The S-ss mission is a proposal?” S-ss missions are the toughest among all!


    But it’s going to be a proposal?


    “Who are you proposing to?” Ken whispered.


    Everyone rolled their eyes at him. “Is that a trick question?” Barbie smacked his head.


    Everyone could see that Hades loved Selena. He changed drastically ever since Selena joined


    them, and it was easily noticeable considering the fact that they had been following him for quite a


    long time.


    “Boss, um… Selena, well, she joined us in the first ce so she could survive, so she doesn’t think


    much about anything else. And you haven’t been exactly nice to her,” Barbie said.


    Hades had a weird way of expressing his love, for he was cruel and unforgiving toward her when


    Selena just came. Selena might loathe him to his bones, but Melissa knew Hades was protecting


    her. The only way for her to live on was to be stronger, and Hades helped her in that aspect.


    In response, Hades gave Barbie a cold look, and Ken stood before her immediately. “Boss, what


    Barbie is saying is that this might not be the best time for a proposal.”


    Melissa chimed in, “Yes, boss. This is too sudden of a proposal. It’s going to fail. Why don’t you tell


    her about your feelings first and slowly transition into the proposal? You’ll have a higher chance of


    sess then.”
