chapter 1678 we aren't kids

the lyttelton family hall. "the gnomes are already preparing for war. from what i know, there has been chaos in their world, and some princes who were fighting for the position of the next emperor were killed. if we can take advantage of this, it might give us some momentum." an old voice said.

"since they're preparing for war, it means they don't care about the dead princes. using those dead princes against them wouldn't do much good."

"they've been using our dead against us since we met them, what's wrong with doing the same?"

"we can't control their dead like they do to us, it's completely different."

'he's actually able to stay so relaxed under his pressure?'

this was the question in the heads of everyone present, the elder who brought grey here was beyond shocked. he has been in grey's position a few times, and even with his cultivation stage, he can't handle it so nonchalantly. 'could it be that he's faking it?' some thought this was the case, but then when they thought about how easy it was for grey to speak, they thought against it. 'maybe he didn't go all out.'

the minds of everyone were thinking about multiple reasons as to why grey didn't feel the pressure. grey's grandfather spoke up when he noticed the elder who previously unleashed his aura about to act once more, "kid, i accept that you might not want to show us what you got from the secret realm which is quite understandable. but you should also understand that this secret realm is quite vital to the family, we have no intention of taking whatever you got in there from you, we just want to see it." "this is something that has never happened, so you see why it's hard for anyone to accept that you didn't take anything out of there?"

hearing his grandfather's words, grey completely understood them, but the truth was that he didn't get anything of value. the only person who got something good was void, and he didn't want these people to inspect void. void is a one of a kind cat, and he was also sleeping at the moment, he didn't want to disturb him for something these people didn't even have any use for. grey sighed at his grandfather's words, before replying, "grandfather, i understand what you're saying, but i didn't get anything from there. i stayed for so long because i too believed there might've been something there for me. after searching for so long, i gave up and left." martha looked at grey's expression, and it started to click with her that it might indeed be true that he didn't get anything from there. she could clearly see the slight frustration in his voice when he spoke about giving up and leaving the secret realm.

she not having any issues with grey's words doesn't mean the others were the same. the elder who tried to pressure grey the first time stood up, this time visibly upset. "kid, everyone here are all old-timers, except for you. do you think you can trick us?" the elder asked coldly. most of them didn't see grey as a member of the lyttelton family, so they didn't think they needed to go easy on him. grey's grandfather looked at the situation with some concern on his face. he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
