Chapter 401: Sit Still So I Can Smash Your Head! “Hmph! Those guys don’t know who they’re messing with!” The young man snorted coldly as he assisted the town chief back to his feet. “*Sigh* You still don’t get it? I feel ashamed that someone like you is considered the brightest spark of your generation,” The chief sighed in disappointment. “Huh? What do you mean, chief?” The young man asked, clearly confused by what the chief was trying to imply. “What can we do to them?” The chief asked the young man. “We… well…” The young man tried to reply, but he realized the answer. There was nothing they could do to Klaus and Grey, especially Grey. Even when the town chief tried to sneak attack him, he was able to easily send the chief flying without even looking in his direction. Some people didn’t even know what was happening until the town’s chief was on the ground. Only a few high level people saw what happened, Grey attacked the chief with an earth pillar that sprang out of the ground and went back to the ground within a second. It was just so fast that not everyone could see it, especially those with lower Planes. Given the strength of both Grey and Klaus, then there’s a high chance that they were from prestigious backgrounds. This small can’t afford to offend such people. If they wanted to attempt killing the duo, then they had to make sure there was no evidence left behind that would inform their families about what happened. This was on the premise that they managed to kill Grey and Klaus which looked to be almost impossible. “But… but… our treasure?” The young man didn’t want to give up that easily. “If you keep this mentality, you won’t last long when you go outside to train. There are battles you don’t give up on, those are battles you know that you have a slim chance against. While there are battles you don’t think about anything and run away from, those are battles that after you’ve thought of every possibility, you still end up losing.” The town’s chief explained to the young man. After his sneak attack failed, the chief had already given up on trying anything against Grey and Klaus. He was lucky to still be alive after that error, he wouldn’t stupidly try to provoke such a fellow again. He was weak, not stupid! The young man fell deep into thoughts, his emotions clouded his judgement. All he wanted was to beat Klaus up that he forgot that Grey had single-handedly stopped almost all the top Elementalists from the town combined. Thinking about it, his scalp went numb from fright. How could he dare to ask the chief to try to kill such a monstrous person, wouldn’t they be counterkilled in the process? “You should train harder, try to keep your emotions in check, or else…” With a shake of the head, the town chief walked deeper into the town. Some of the crowd were still standing by the side, waiting to see if something exciting would happen, unfortunately, nothing else seemed to happen. The people soon started to disperse from the town’s square. …. In the tea shop. Grey and Klaus were currently sitting on the table close to the one Oliver, Blake, and Delia were sitting. “You’re not in the Overlord Plane yet, but seeing how you’re able to easily defend against them, I can assume you aren’t far from it,” Blake said while looking at Grey. One has to know that Delia still hasn’t broken through to the Overlord Plane yet, and she’s one of the top geniuses from the previous set of students in the Lunar Academy. From how things looked, there’s a high chance that Grey would be able to kill her if they got into a life and death battle. It was surprising, thinking that Grey was still an ordinary person when Delia was already close to the Peak of the Origin Plane. Presently, Delia was already at the Peak of the Origin Plane, just a little bit short of breaking through to the Overlord Plane, while Grey seemed to be close to it as well, but his combat strength seemed to be superior. “I’m currently in the Eighth stage, and defending against these people wasn’t much of a challenge since they only use the water element. Anybody with a good sense of battle can defend against them,” Grey replied. “Yes, I could’ve done it as well,” Klaus chimed in. “Oh… I bet you could,” Blake replied in a sarcastic tone. Oliver continued looking at Grey, but he didn’t bring up the topic of him being able to absorb the ice energy. There were a lot of things that could’ve made that happen, but the most viable one was that he also had the water element. But he couldn’t take out other possibilities. “Hey bud, so where’s Void? I have a big job for him,” Klaus suddenly asked in excitement, his eyes shining. Grey’s expression turned sour when he heard about Void. He brought Void out of his spatial ring, given his small size, it looked like he brought him from his inner cloth. Since he was wearing a robe, the others didn’t suspect anything. “What happened to him?” Klaus asked surprised while taking Void from Grey’s hand. “His consciousness was damaged, apparently, it would be extremely difficult to heal him,” Grey replied in a low voice. “Which bastard hurt him? Quick, tell me and watch me smash the person,” Klaus said angrily. Even when sulky, Grey’s eyes twitched when he heard Klaus’ comment. Couldn’t he just react normally like the others did? He didn’t even ask what happened, he straight up jumped into the conclusion that Void was hurt by someone, and was even prepared to beat the person. “Actually… I’m the cause,” Grey replied after a while. Klaus paused for a few seconds, not expecting Grey to give that reply, but what happened next stunned Grey, as well as Oliver and the others. Klaus attacked Grey. “Shit! What the hell are you doing?” Grey couldn’t help but complain. “I said I’ll smash the person who did this, now, just sit still so I can smash your head!” Klaus said while jumping straight at Grey. Oliver and Blake were still trying to process what was happening as Grey hurried to dodge Klaus’ flurry of attacks.
