Chapter 377 - You Should Be!
"And you believe that?" Grey sneered, not bothered with Jean's threat.
Although Grey didn't know much about the Emperor, he was sure the Emperor would most likely execute Jean and the entire Smith family if he found out about this.
The Emperor wants him for the Great Earth Essence Liquid, if Jean killed him, it would be equivalent to saying he had obtained the Liquids from Grey. This would in turn mean he wanted to usurp power from the Emperor after using the liquid, turning him into the threat.
Jean naturally didn't believe what he said, he was only trying to bait Grey into telling him about it.
Others Grey's age would've been scared if their lives were threatened, but the fact that Grey agreed to come here in the first place showed that he wasn't simple. In fact, this made Jean all the more suspicious of Grey's motive of coming.
He could almost sense an ill foreboding.
"Fine, you can keep the secret with you.. Given the amount of effort the Emperor has put into searching for you, I believe he would reward the Smith family handsomely for capturing you," He said after giving it some thought.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
Greed had been the downfall of many great individuals, so it was best not knowing why the Emperor was searching for Grey. There was a high chance he might covet the thing if he were to know it's worth.
This is a simple case of the saying, better safe than sorry.
Grey nodded, not too bothered with them.
Swoosh!
'I need to contact the Emperor as soon as possible. After getting feedback from him, I'll send the boy over to them. No, I'll tell him to send people to come and pick him up, that way, even if he escapes on the way, I wouldn't be blamed.'
Jean immediately started thinking of ways to send Grey away, the sooner the better. He recalled that the Emperor sent people here to summon Donald Reiss, he was hoping to see if they were still in the city so they could take Grey.
For some reason, he didn't like the fact that Grey was with them.
After all was said and done, he had great confidence in his daughter, hence he allowed her to fight with Grey. She had been able to go toe to toe with an expert in the Ninth stage of the Origin Plane when she just broke through to the Seventh stage.
No matter how strong Grey was, there's no way he would be able to easily beat someone in the Ninth stage, so even if he was stronger than his daughter, it wouldn't be by much. This was the reason he allowed her to fight.
The young lady stepped down from where they were sitting, heading towards Grey while releasing a malevolent aura.
"Even if I'm not allowed to kill you, I'll beat you to a pulp!" She said confidently.
"You're that confident?" Grey raised a brow.
To be honest, he felt the young lady was okay in strength. But if she thought she had a chance against him, then she was dreaming.
Even Reynolds' Elemental Warrior would be able to easily beat her up, much less Grey.
If Alice and Klaus were in the Sixth stage, they wouldn't have a problem with facing her given their strength and foundation. This young lady might be strong to others, but when compared to Grey and his crew, she was lacking, by a lot.
The only thing he found strange was how she was able to advance this quickly. One has to remember that William was already in his twenties, so it was understandable that he was able to reach the Seventh stage.
'Hmm, there's no way she would've advanced this much, unless... the trial land.'
