1790  Can You Stick To One Name?

Grey took a glance at Lord Harry, with a sneer on his face, he turned his attention to Sir Xavier, ”If thatʼs the case he should try to keep his emotions in check. The next time he becomes agitated in front of me might be his last.” The threat behind Greyʼs words was clear for the rest to see. Sir Xavier and the two Protectors were almost thrown into a fit of rage by Greyʼs blatant disregard, but in the end, they calmed themselves down, not daring to speak. The only reason they got this upset over it is due to their perceived seniority. Even though they knew Grey was stronger, they still felt they were older than him, so he should be more respectful. Lord Harry didnʼt react to this as he brought Grey back to the reason he came out, ”Little friend, Iʼm very curious about what you used to make those things disappear.” Since he couldnʼt understand how it happened, he believed that it was the work of a treasure created by an expert at the very Peak of the Sovereign Plane. The abilities of Peak Sovereigns shouldnʼt be underestimated, this he was all too clear on. ʼVoid, how much longer?ʼ Grey didnʼt immediately answer, rather, he tried to reach out to Void. The true reason he quietly sat here is not because he wanted to speak with these people, but rather, Void made mention of some treasures the second they appeared here. However, it was hidden by an array. Grey could crack the array if he had enough time, but he didnʼt want to act rashly. He could sense a somewhat powerful presence hidden somewhere around. ʼGive me a minute. Just continue talking to them.ʼ His eyes flickered after hearing Voidʼs reply. With no other choice, he could only sigh a try to continue the conversation. Lord Harry was inquiring about his spatial ring, and from the expression of Sir Xavier and the two Protectors when they saw him storing the jug and wooden box, he confirmed his assumption; these people truly didnʼt know about the space element. Grey didnʼt tell them about the space element, only lying that he was given a rare treasure by his Teacher and it could help him do a few tricks of that manner. At first Lord Harryʼs eyes shone brilliantly when he heard Grey speak about how a rare treasure was the cause of the disappearances. On getting to the cheap tricks part, he knew that Grey was withholding information from him, which made him a bit frustrated. If not for the fact that he was a little worried about the force behind Grey, then he wouldʼve slapped him to death. Grey saw the anger in the eyes of Lord Harry when he finished his explanation but he didnʼt care. Since these people donʼt know the concept of the space element, even explaining it to them is nothing short of a waste of time. Not only that, but his first encounter with them had already put him at odds with them, so why should he want them to know about the space element, especially when itʼs the ability heʼs going to rely on when escaping or evading. ”Kid, my patience is limited.” Lord Harry couldnʼt keep his calm demeanor any further. A bone-chilling energy seeped out of his body. ”Iʼm ho…” Grey was about to speak when he paused, turning his eyes to a certain direction. His lips unconsciously curved into a smile. Void found it, and it didnʼt take more than a minute! Now he didnʼt have any reason to be too wary. There might be a powerful presence here, but Grey was certain that he could escape from this place as long as he wanted to. As for the McCall Family, at worst he would advise them to leave this place. From Mark and Sir Xavierʼs attitude, he knew that they were ruthless individuals, so even if they were to promise not to attack the McCall Family, it didnʼt mean that they wouldnʼt secretly deal with them in the future. ”Iʼm honestly telling you the truth.” He continued his words, bringing his attention back to Lord Harry.

Lord Harry didnʼt miss Greyʼs sudden pause, nor the direction he looked towards. His eyes showed a trace of doubt as a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

”If thatʼs the case, I want to see this rare treasure.” ”I believe Senior is of the faith of letting each to his own secrets, no?” Grey raised a brow, not expecting that Lord Harry would tell him to pass this treasure to him. The space ring with him is the treasure, but heʼs naturally not going to give it to him. ”Donʼt misunderstand me Little Friend, I only want to take a look at it, nothing else.” Lord Harry explained, wearing a bland expression. ”Iʼm sorry Senior, but I canʼt hand that over to you. My Teacher warned me not to hand it over to anyone else.” Grey refused to give them his spatial ring. Although these people had no knowledge of the space element, it didnʼt mean that if a space ring was given to them they would be able to eventually access it. Itʼs something very simple to use as it only required oneʼs mental energy.

”Senior, Iʼd like to speak about the reason I was invited here.” Grey went back to the initial issue. The reason he came to the City Lordʼs Manor was under the invitation of the two Protectors. Since coming here, it hasnʼt been more than ten minutes, and Sir Xavier has only been here for a few minutes, yet they still havenʼt sorted out the matter due to other disturbances. He had been dallying with them as he waited for Void to locate the treasure. Now that Void has located it, he doesnʼt have a reason to want to talk about other things.

Lord Harryʼs gaze turned cold. ”Boy…”

”Senior, can you please stick to one name?” Grey interrupted Lord Harry as he was about to blow his top. Almost every time Lord Harry has spoken to him, it was either in a threatening manner, or a pretentious friendly manner. Hereʼs the chap! Donʼt forget to vote!
