884: Maya's Grandparents

Maya's Grandparents

Theo was dumbfounded after witnessing their battle. Each of their strikes could kill him.1

There was a reason why the giant considered them 'ants.' He had the strength to do so.

'So, this is the power of Authority Level Figure…' Theo's heart beat rapidly. On the one hand, he felt helpless in front of such power. On the other hand, motivation to get this kind of power surged in his heart.

If he had this kind of power, he didn't need to be afraid of the Griffith Family or anyone else in the world.

While he was astounded, the giant finally stopped using his power and released the dragon's claws. The latter did the same by letting his wrist go.

"Do you believe me?"

"Tell me what you want."

"I simply want to bring this little friend near one of the human's cities."

"You're not going to do anything?"

"Yes. That's the agreement." Arkesham nodded lightly.

"…" Kurgarm fell silent for a minute before agreeing with the dragon. "Fine. I shall allow it. I believe he comes here to stay, right?"

"Indeed."

"I only have one rule. I don't care who you kill as long as they're not the Kings of my land. If you kill one of them, I won't hesitate to hunt you down."

"He has some relationship with one of your Kings though." Arkesham added with a smile.

"Ho?" Kurgarm frowned and observed Theo a bit more before recognizing one power in his hand. "Dark King. I see. My point still stands."

"Don't worry. I have taught him a bit about it." Arkesham assured him.

"If you don't mind, why don't you give me directions to the nearest human's city? This is your territory after all." Arkesham smiled and added one more word, "Or…"

Kurgarm turned around and shouted, "Come out, you ants."

There was a silence for a few seconds, making Kurgarm's expression darken. However, before he shouted for the second time, two humans came out of their hiding spots. Both of them were covered with body armor that allowed them to fly.

They were a pair of old couples. The female elder released a bit of her power to protect them from the dragon and the giant's pressure while the old man greeted them. "Greetings to Frost Giant Lord and Lord Dragon. We apologize if we have made a mistake, but we happened to be here because we were fishing nearby."

"I don't care about your excuse. Since you have seen us, you shouldn't remain alive." Kurgarm started emanating his killing intent.

The dragon didn't say anything as he thought the same. They didn't want to meddle too much with human affairs, so they rarely showed themselves to the humans. This wasn't an exception.

However, the old couple suddenly recognized the human on the dragon's back and thought this was their last rope to hang on.

"Theodore Griffith?" The old man shouted his name in shock.

Kurgarm frowned and asked, "Do you know him?"

"Yes. We're from the Star Group. I'm Hendry Hamilton, the previous owner of the Star Group, Maya Hamilton's Grandfather. We've received the news that Theodore Griffith is planning to come to us around this time, but we don't know anything about the details."

"!!!" Theo was surprised to find Maya's grandparents here because he had prepared to sneak in and enter illegally.

Kurgarm, on the other hand, still felt displeased about the two knowing his existence.

"Do you know them?" Kurgarm asked Theo with a serious expression.

"This is my first time seeing them, but I've seen their pictures."

"So, their identity is real." Arkesham nodded, satisfied. "How about I leave you with them? Looking at your tone and expression, it's clear you're going with them after arriving there. So, why not now?"

"I'm fine with your arrangement." Theo agreed since this might be the chance for him to make this couple owe him by saving their lives.

Arkesham contemplated for a moment before suggesting, "How should we settle this? I don't mind handing him to them so that they can bring him to the human's city."

"We can swear not to reveal anything about all of you." Hendry persuaded them.

Kurgarm finally agreed after some struggles. "Fine. However, if my information is spread around on the other side, be prepared as I shall lead my army there. And you… Who was your name again? Theodore Griffith? You need to assist me in killing your own kin if the information spreads."

Theo's expression turned grim as he thought for a moment before nodding his head. "I shall be the first to inform you if they're the culprits."

Theo emphasized the last condition because he wanted to make sure they were the culprits. If someone spread the information about the frost giant, he wouldn't want to help that much.

The dragon smiled as he'd got used to Theo playing with words. Even the Mountain King had suffered from this.

Kurgarm also caught Theo's condition and nodded. "Fine. You can go with them."

Suddenly, Ava turned into her battle form and said to the old couple. "I don't trust both of you, but I have no choice. If he dies before reaching the city, I swear, in the future, I'll hold both of you accountable."

Kurgarm didn't say anything because Ava was Arkesham's student.

"Don't worry. We know what to do." Hendry assured her with a smile. "I promise we won't treat him badly when he officially reaches the US too."

"You better be." Ava harrumphed and leaped to Theo. She added those words because she worried the old couple would kill Theo in the way as they were only Maya's grandparents instead of Maya or Bernard themselves.

However, Hendry obviously took these words into his heart. After all, they never expected a human to be friendly with one World Class Monster. It was something they had never seen before.

After giving her warning, Ava looked at Theo with a sad expression, knowing this was the time to say a proper goodbye.

Theo was also reluctant to be separated by Ava, but this was something that needed to be done.

They both looked at each other with unwillingness and sadness.
