Chapter 410 - I'm Your Father, Boy
"Principal, we'll be going our separate ways here. Thank you for your help with the map," Grey bowed to Klaus' father when they got to a two-way junction.
He would be taking the path on the right while Klaus and his group would be taking the path on the left. According to the Principal, they wanted to travel the continent, see what each continent holds.
That was a plan that Klaus was especially excited about. He had been stuck in the Qilin empire since he was born, well only he would use the term stuck.
"It's okay. Make sure to take care of yourself. Also, in case you encounter Chris, tell Klaus about it." Oliver said to Grey with a soft smile.
Grey hadn't given the Great Earth Essence Liquid to him yet, but he wasn't really too concerned about it. As long as the youngsters could protect themselves, then he was satisfied.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
From Grey's performance back at Moon town's square, he could tell he didn't have an opponent in the Origin Plane. This meant that he could walk freely since Overlord Plane experts aren't as much as those in the Origin Plane.
"Hey bud, are you sure you don't need me with you?" Klaus asked.
"No, I feel we'd die if we were together," Grey shook his head with a smile.
"What's the meaning of that?" Klaus asked angrily.
"Simple, you're going to cause so much trouble that people would want us dead," Grey said with a deadpan expression.
"What do you mean to cause trouble? I've always been an upright person!" Klaus replied righteously.
Everyone turned to look at him with a surprised expression, even Delia was no exception. She had been traveling with the group now for months, and she had already tagged Klaus as a once-in-a-lifetime troublemaker. She didn't think there would be anyone else in this world who can annoy so many people simultaneously, and still be alive. Yet here Klaus was, defying all expectations.
"You really believe that?" Grey asked with a sneer.
"Nope, not really," Klaus shook his head.
His response threw the others into a fit of laughter. Klaus was so shameless about his personality that he didn't really care if he were annoying or fun, as long as he could do whatever he wanted, then he was fine.
"Why would I play games? He gave it to me to hand it to you, but since you said you don't want it, I think I'll sell it. No, I'll find a girl and use it as a wedding gift. Such extravagance! I'll surely be regarded as the best husband in the history of the world!" Klaus said, clearly deep in thoughts.
Oliver's expression changed, he couldn't believe this little rascal who he called his son would play a trick on him. He obviously had the Great Earth Essence Liquid with him, yet he said Grey forgot to give it to him. Knowing that he wouldn't want them to go after Grey because of it, he would then say he didn't want it.
'Such a sly move, unfortunately, he has forgotten I am his father!' He thought inside.
"Where did you hear me say I don't want it?" Oliver looked at Klaus with a stoic expression.
"I clearly heard it!" Klaus argued.
"Blake," Oliver turned to Blake and Delia.
"Yes Teacher," Blake answered.
"Did you hear me say I didn't want it?" Oliver asked in a stern voice.
"No Teacher," Blake replied seriously.
Oliver nodded before turning to Delia, "And you?"
Just like Blake, Delia gave the same answer.
"You see, now hand it over," Oliver stretched out his hand in front of Klaus.
"This... this... this is cheating! You said it," Klaus continued arguing.
"Does that mean that out of everyone here, you're the only one who heard something different?" Oliver asked with a smile.
"But... but..." Klaus knew they were messing with him, but he couldn't do anything.
With no other option, he took out a small circular cloth from his chest region, placing it in his father's outstretched hand.
"I'm your father, boy, I've been playing these games before you were born.." Oliver chuckled while studying the Great Earth Essence Liquid in his hand.
