Chapter 416: I Can Handle It



Chapter 416: I Can Handle It

“Move aside, you’ll only make things worse,” Jonas shoved the young lady aside while forcing himself to stand properly.

“Just hand it over to them, nothing is worth dying for,” The young lady said with tears in her eyes.

“I know, but without this, he’ll die,” Jonas said, holding onto his shirt tightly, a sad look coming over his face.

“Even if you hand it over to us, you’ll still die, boy. I can’t let you live,” The Earth Elementalist among the two Ninth stage Origin Plane Elementalists said coldly.

Jonas was someone who would be able to definitely break through to the Overlord Plane in the future, they on the other hand didn’t have high hopes in doing so. The thought of a possible Overlord Plane expert holding a grudge against them wasn’t something they could afford to allow.

“He already agreed to give it to you, why are you people going so far?” The young lady looked at the four men with an angry look.

“You’ll die as well,” The Earth Elementalist looked at the girl with an evil look.

“This has nothing to do with her,” Jonas said, stepping in front of the young lady, “Leave now, I can stop them for a while,”

“No, I can’t leave you behind,” The young lady said.

“We’re both going to die if we go with your plan, at least in my plan, one person survives,” Jonas said, caressing the young lady’s face gently.

“Are you people just going to watch them kill us?!” The young lady turned to the crowd, hoping that someone would step out to intervene.

Unfortunately, reality was cruel. In a world like this, it’s much better not to get involved in things that don’t have anything to do with you. Sometimes it might be beneficial, but in most cases, one tends to get in trouble because of their help.

The crowd just watched what was happening with folded arms, some were even pointing at Jonas and the young lady while speaking animatedly. Not showing any concerns with if they were about to be killed or not. To them, this was just a show.

“Stop it, no one would help,” Jonas said to the young lady.

“You think they would help you? Heh! People like you should be killed. In your next life, don’t depend on people,” The Earth Elementalist said while walking towards them.

“It would be a shame to kill them, don’t you think?”

A voice stopped the Earth Elementalist on his tracks, trying to find the source of the voice.

Jonas stopped dumbstruck, he found the voice familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had heard it before. He hurriedly turned to look in the direction of the sound, seeing the figure of someone covered in a robe, he couldn’t help but get a slight sense of familiarity.

“Where have I seen this person before?” He muttered to himself.

“Huh? You know that person?” The young lady asked, hope shining in his eyes.

“I think so. I can’t recall where I’ve heard the voice, but I’m sure I recognize it from somewhere,” Jonas replied thoughtfully.

Grey is currently taller than the last time he saw him, so it wasn’t surprising he didn’t recognize him, and since they weren’t close, there’s no way he would know him from his build.

Klaus or Reynolds, and probably Alice would instantly recognize Grey even if he was in a distance.

“Who are you? Don’t you know that you shouldn’t involve yourself in things that are not related to you,” The Wind Elementalist among the two in the Ninth stage of the Origin Plane said.

Grey didn’t stop his movement, he continued walking, heading in Jonas’ direction.

“I’m talking to you, stop there,” The Wind Elementalist said.

The reason they hadn’t attacked Grey was that they were wary of him. First of all, Grey was wearing a robe, so they couldn’t see his face, not just that, but they also couldn’t sense his stage, so they thought he was an expert in the Overlord Plane or something.

“It’s been a while, didn’t think I’d see you here,” Grey said when he got to where Jonas was standing.

“Who are you?” Jonas asked, looking at Grey curiously.

“Oh, you wouldn’t recognize me with this on, but given my current situation, I don’t think it will be wise for me to do that.” Grey said mysteriously, “But, I think you will recall my name, it’s Grey,”

Jonas paused, trying to figure out where he had heard that name before. Within a couple of seconds, it struck him. How could he forget such a memorable name, it was a name that he could never forget.

This was the person who didn’t have an affinity at the time of his test, then later had an affinity three years later.

“You… it’s you?” Jonas asked, stunned.

It was almost like he was struck by lightning. How could he not be, this person has been missing for months now.

After he left the trial land, he tried to find out about Grey, after all, Grey did let him obtain the inheritance. To be honest, he didn’t think he would actually be able to do the same.

After joining Grey fight against the Darkness Elementalist and his group, he left. But after coming out, he was curious about how Grey was doing, so he tried to find out about him.

He found out that the new Mayor and Principal of the Lunar Academy was searching for him, possibly with a bad motive given how he was searching for him.

….

“Oh you remembered me, how nice,” Grey said.

“Why wouldn’t I?” Jonas asked.

“Jonas, who is this?” The young lady asked curiously.

She was one of the few people close to Jonas, so she knew all his friends, except for this mysterious one.

“He’s from my hometown, but we aren’t really close. We can’t even be called acquaintances,” Jonas replied.

He wasn’t close to Grey, so he wouldn’t lie that they were friends.

“Hello, I’m Grey,” Grey waved to the young lady.

He didn’t care if you were to tell the Emperor about him, nor did he care. He would be leaving soon anyway. Also, he didn’t think Jonas would let her do that.

“Grey, Grey, Grey… wait, you’re that Grey from the Lunar Academy?” The young lady exclaimed in shock.

“The one and only,” Grey replied.

Most of the people from the Starlight Academy usually remember this name because of what happened during the competition. And since his name wasn’t something popular, people tend to recall it even after a year.

“Hey! Who the hell are you and what do you want?” The Earth Elementalist asked angrily.

They watched Grey walk from the crowd and suddenly start speaking with the people they wanted to kill. If not for the fact that they didn’t know who he was or how powerful he was, they would’ve attacked already.

“I’m a friend, do you mind letting them go?” Grey turned to the four men.

It wouldn’t be nice if he just started fighting against them. Although they were strong, he was confident in being able to at least stop them from harming Jonas, and also escaping from them.

If he decides to use all his moves, then he would be able to kill them. The space element was an element none of the people knew about, after all, so once he starts disappearing and popping up from different locations, it would be difficult for them to deal with him.

“He should hand over the item,” The Wind Elementalist stepped forward to speak.

They thought Grey was a powerful expert, so he wanted to let Jonas leave for now, then they would kill him once Grey was gone.

“Hmm,” Grey rubbed his chin as if thinking, he turned to Jonas, “How important is that thing to you?”

“It’s worth a friend’s life,” Jonas replied.

Grey looked at him for a while before sighing, looks like he would have to fight with these people.

‘*Sigh* I really hate all these unnecessary hassles.’ He thought to himself.

“Uhmm, can you let him keep the item as well? It’s quite important to him,” He asked the group.

Fortunately, his face was covered, so they couldn’t see his embarrassed look. They had already agreed to allow him to leave, now he was asking them to let him have the item as well? Impossible!

“What?!” The Earth Elementalist exclaimed angrily, almost attacking.

The Wind Elementalist hastily stepped in front of him, “Sir, we can let him leave, but as for the item, we can’t.”

Grey shook his head wryly, “A shame,”

“I appreciate your gesture, but you shouldn’t fight with them because you want to help me,” Jonas tried to stop him.

He had fought with the group before, and knew how strong they were. He didn’t think Grey would be able to defeat them on his own.

He inherited the legacy of an expert, so he grew faster than others. He didn’t feel Grey is currently stronger than him, at most, they were on par.

“Don’t worry, I can handle it,” Grey waved it off.

“You don’t understand, they are very powerful,” Jonas said.

“It’s just a breeze, I can handle it,” Grey waved again.

Jonas looked at him, his heart shattering. Just when he thought he was finally stronger than Grey, he suddenly shows up and says the people he couldn’t defeat were a breeze? How annoying was that?!

“Tell him to hand it over, or else…” The Wind Elementalist said.

Obviously, he was still trying to avoid a fight with someone they didn’t know.
