Grey was still playing with the staff when another item appeared on the paws of Void, it was an item the people from the Tekik Family are very familiar with. The round ball was something made from a special ore available only to the Tekik Family, it was impossible for anyone else to have something like this, unless they stole from the Tekik Family. 

Everyone stared at Grey with a shocked expression, he was clearly the one who stole from the Tekik Family, now he was saying they were accusing him of stealing, and it wasn’t false. 

The crux of the matter is that he’s stronger than the Head of the Tekik Family, and since he said he didn’t steal from them, then there was nothing the Head of the Tekik Family could do. In this world, strength was all that mattered. As long as one is strong, they can do whatever they want without having to face any consequences, the Tekik Family had been doing it all this while, now, it was their turn to experience it. 

A few of the people in the Hall couldn’t help but feel like the Tekik Family deserved this, after all, they killed Ryla the previous day all because they claimed that he stole from them. 

Grey looked at the Hall and listened to their murmurings, he couldn’t help but smile softly. His aim had been met, he wanted the Tekik Family to experience the same feeling that they had subjected those weaker than them to feel over the past years, now, he knew they were fully experiencing it. 

“What do you want?” The Head of the Tekik Family asked, his head lowered in defeat. 

“The same as my previous offer…” Grey paused when he got to this part and added with a smile, “Oh, you accused me as well, so you’ll also have to compensate me as well.”

When the Head of the Tekik Family heard this, his head almost exploded from pure rage. 

“You vile creature! You clearly stole from…” 

The person who stood up to speak this time was an Old man, but just like what Grey had been doing all this while, the Old man vanished right before the eyes of everyone. 

Those from the Tekik Family watched with agony filled eyes, they couldn’t believe one of the oldest person from their family was killed just like that. 

A young lady wanted to speak, but when she realized what would happen to her, she kept quiet. 

Grey still had the same nonchalant expression as he looked at them, not bothered with how they looked at him. 

To be honest, he felt if not for the fact that Grey has uses for him, he would’ve killed him already. Grey had already robbed him, yet he seems to want more. 

He looked at Grey then paused, for some reason, he didn’t feel Grey was the greedy type. His eyes trailed around Grey then turned to the little girl sitting beside him. He was soon hit with realization, Grey wasn’t doing all this because he wanted things, he didn’t even steal those things because he wanted them, it was all purely for revenge, revenge for Cori. 

What he couldn’t understand was why Grey was helping Cori. If Grey was acquainted with them from the start, he would not have allowed Ryla to be killed the previous day. So there was a chance he only got to know Cori the previous day. 

“Sir, I don’t have what you want. Even if I did, it’s all gone now. Is there anything else I can use to cover it?” He had fully submitted to Grey at the moment. Trying anything now was just a waste of time. 

Grey was a Space Elementalist, before he could even try anything, Grey would’ve already killed whoever he wanted dead. By the time he was done with them, only he would be left alive. 

Grey looked at the man’s current attitude and couldn’t help but praise the fortitude of the man, for him to submit to him was by no means easy, but he did it just for his family. 

‘What a commendable attitude. Unfortunately, he has a terrible side as well.’ 

After a while, he looked at the man then turned to Cori, “Whatever she wants.” 

The Head of the Tekik Family looked at Cori with a smile before saying, “Cori, you know your brother has been with us all his life. We trained him. I admit that the way he died was wrong, but he stole from me, I can not allow such people to go scot free.” 

“You falsely accused my brother, you deserve death.” Cori said angrily.

“Your brother stole from me, I have proof of it.” The Head of the Tekik Family said. 

“The bones of the Space Tiger was found by my brother.” Cori retorted. 

“I’m the leader of this place, anything found should be given to me first. I gave your brother the resources he needed to grow, I even gave him the things he needed to go on that expedition, why didn’t he come back to me with anything?” The Head of the Tekik Family asked with a wronged face. I think you should take a look at

Cori wanted to speak but then the Head of the Tekik Family said again, “I gave him everything, I shielded him when he offended the Grule Tribe, I healed him when he was injured…”

Against a small girl, of course the Head of the Tekik Family would be able to easily subdue her. 

Cori froze, unsure of what to say or do. Grey gave her the chance to take revenge, but according to the Head of the Tekik Family, he did nothing wrong. To be honest, they had indeed helped her brother. 

Grey watched her struggle to make a decision and chuckled. The Head of the Tekik Family was a smart fellow, and there was no way Cori could match him. 

Seeing that Cori was no longer saying anything, the Head of the Tekik Family looked at Grey with a soft smile and said, “She doesn’t seem to want to do anything to us. Does that mean we can go?”

Everyone from the Tekik Family looked at Grey with hopeful eyes, waiting for what he would say. 

“Since that’s the case, and I am a man of my words, I’ll follow what I said from the onset.” Grey said, he looked at Cori and asked, “Are you sure with this?” 

Cori shook her head, “I don’t know.” 

“That technically means we don’t have to pay for anything.” The Head of the Tekik Family said confidently.

Grey nodded, “Naturally.”

The eyes of the people from the Tekik Family shone with excitement. For a moment, they forgot that a few of them had been killed.

Grey suddenly stood up and said, “So… there was something I forgot to tell you.” 

When everyone focused on him, he said with a shy smile, “I’m a liar.” 

His statement made the entire Hall fall silent. It was already silent to begin with, but now, they could almost hear all the breaths of everyone there. 

Cori looked at Grey, stunned. Not just her, everyone standing in the Hall looked at Grey, no one could believe their ears. 

Grey said he was a man of his words, yet, within a minute he said he was a liar. What did that mean? It meant that the people from the Tekik Family were screwed. Grey was a psychopath bent on getting revenge.

The Head of the Tekik Family looked at Grey, “What is the meaning of your statement?”

“Simple, you’re screwed.” Grey replied casually. 

There was almost no form of remorse in his eyes, it was like he was used to doing something like this. After hanging around with Klaus for so long, of course he would also be shameless as well. 

Klaus was the most shameless person he had seen, and on a few occasions, he learned a thing or two from him and also implements it. 

The eyes of the Head of the Tekik Family turned red and he was visibly shaking from anger. It was clear that he never expected Grey to do something like this. 

Grey looked at him with bashful expression. 

The more the people from the Tekik Family saw him like this, the more they felt angered by him. They couldn’t believe he was saying this with such an expression. Who didn’t hear him would think that he was an innocent person, but only those who had experienced this know that he was a vile and ruthless character.

“I’ll not take this from you. What are you trying to do?” The Head of the Tekik Family said. 

“I don’t care if you will take it from me or not.” Grey’s expression turned cold.
