"Do you understand now?" Grey asked, still pointing at the young man.
The middle-aged man looked at the person he was pointing at and then at Grey once again. His eyes turned serious and he made a decision internally. He didn't know if he could fight against Grey, but this was the best way to test Grey's strength out.
If he could block Grey's attack this time, then he would know if he's within his league or not. Although he still felt that Grey was powerful, the fact that he never expected Grey to attack or even kill his grandson never crossed his mind, so when it happened, he was slow to react.
'This time, I'm prepared, let's see how you're able to kill anyone else.' He thought internally.
"I don't understand what you're saying." The middle-aged man answered.
Grey chuckled, he already knew what the middle-aged man was thinking, but he was not bothered. There was no way the man would be able to block his attack.
With a nonchalant wave of his finger, the young man he was pointing at started to disintegrate right in front of everyone present.
The pupils of the middle-aged man shrank. When he was about to block the attack, he saw a small orb appearing beside the young man. Even he felt some threat from it. Of course, he believed it wouldn't be able to kill him, but the feeling the attack gave him was one that unless someone was in the Elemental Venerable Plane, they wouldn't be able to block it.
Grey saw the eyes of the man and chuckled, he purposely didn't create an orb that would be too threatening to the man. He wanted to give the man a little hope and then crush it.
People like this man who abuse their strengths are one of the few people Grey hated. He was not against stealing from others, he had done it a lot of times. But oppressing others with his strength was something he wouldn't do unprovoked, much less m stooping as low as threatening a little child.
The man looked at Grey and felt he could match Grey's strength.
"Look, I'll admit that you're strong, but do you think you're invincible?" The middle-aged man snorted and stood up from his seat, "You come to my town and wantonly start killing my grandchildren, after stealing from me too!"
The aura of the middle-aged man spiked at this moment, he was staring at Grey like a lion ready to pounce.
Grey tilted his head to the side and his eyes turned blue, "Sit down."
His voice was low, but everyone present felt their souls freeze up just from it. The middle-aged man felt a cold chill run down his spine and the entire Hall fell silent. The cold in the Hall started to increase and the middle-aged man felt his body starting to freeze up, not just his body, but even his consciousness started to freeze.
His aura which spiked a few seconds ago had deteriorated. His body started to shake from the cold, and when he could see his breath while breathing. He looked at his fingers and saw it had started to freeze, without hesitation, he sat down.
The cold in the area died down almost immediately when the middle-aged man touched the seat.
Grey grinned and said, "See, isn't it better now?"
The others in the Hall looked at the middle-aged man, unable to process what just happened.
Grey only made a statement and the entire Hall almost froze. They looked at Grey who was still sitting casually and looked at the middle-aged man once again.
The guards didn't even dare to go close to Grey. Even if the middle-aged man told them, they would refuse. If even the middle-aged man is powerless against Grey, then what about them?
"Okay, I'll ask again, do you understand?" Grey asked, his eyes turning to a young lady who was luxuriously dressed.
The middle-aged man saw this and his body went stiff, he could see Grey's intent from his eyes. Grey wasn't admiring the beauty of his granddaughter, rather, he was prepared to kill her if he didn't comply with what he wanted.
With a long sigh, a defeated expression he replied, "Yes."
Grey chuckled playfully and said, "Haha, you see, civil. I'm a very civil person."
"For accusing her of stealing, you'll compensate her, twenty thousand high grade chaos stones."
When the number left Grey's mouth, the entire Hall found it difficult to breathe. Even the middle-aged man froze, he almost wanted to tell Grey to kill his entire lineage.
There was no way he could provide such a sum. Even when Grey robbed them, they didn't have this much, much less now.
Grey smiled widely as he awaited his reply.
The middle-aged man looked at Grey, with a dry smile he said, "I don't have that much. Besides, you took all we have."
Grey raised a brow, a bit displeased by the man's statement, "I told you I'm a civil person and you're also accusing me of theft?"
"No, no, no. But I was robbed last night, there's no one in this town that can achieve such a feat while I'm in the town." The middle-aged man shook his head before explaining, after some time, he added, "Except, you."
"So you're saying since I'm here, I'm the one who stole from you, correct?" Grey asked.
The middle-aged man wanted to subconsciously nod, but he froze. He didn't even know what to do at the moment. If he nodded, it meant he was saying Grey robbed them, if he shook his head, then it meant Grey didn't.
His head started to ache as he looked at Grey, who was waiting for his response.
A staff appeared on Grey's hand and he started to play with it, he looked at the man and said, "Come on, I'm waiting."
When everyone saw the staff on Grey's hand, they gasped. That was definitely from the Tekik Family, it even had their insignia on it, yet Grey was still claiming he didn't rob them.
