Chapter 1191 Cori's Guardian



A middle-aged man walked into the Hall, his hands behind his back. He heard a serious expression and his beards had hints of turning gray. 

Grey accessed the man as he walked into the place. When the man was walking by, he paused and looked at Grey, then turned his attention to Cori, who was standing beside Grey. 

He hadn't seen Grey before, but after trying to sense his cultivation and was unable to, he felt disdain. Although people like this were rare, it didn't mean they didn't exist. The fact that Grey didn't exude even the tiniest bit of essence proved that he didn't have any element. Such people are regarded as a waste to society. 

He didn't spare them a glance and walked to the main seat in the Hall, after taking his seat, he looked at Cori with a cold expression. 

"I made an example of your brother because he was caught stealing from me. Now, you dared to do the same thing?" He said coldly. 

"I didn't steal from you." Cori pouted. 

"Little girl, return the things you took. I'll not ask you again." The man said coldly. He was furious, his treasury, everything he had collected over the years and even before he became the head of the Family was gone. 

"I didn't take anything from you." Cori stood her ground, just like a ferocious little tiger, she looked defiantly into the eyes of the man. 

"Take her storage ring. You'll suffer a fate worse than your brother." The eyes of the man exuded killing intent. 

But he was in no hurry to kill Cori, he couldn't afford to leave those items behind. If he killed her now, how was he going to get them back? 

His plan was to torture her into telling him where she kept them. After retrieving them, he would kill her. 

One of the guards in the Overlord Plane approached Cori, but her aura exploded out and the guard was sent flying, slamming into the wall by the side. 

"Little girl, you dare show you little strength in front of me?" The man stood up and the aura of an Elemental Venerable spread out. 

Everyone below the Elemental Venerable Plane found it out to breathe, they could barely keep their heads up as a few of the weaker ones even fell on their knees. 

Cori tried her best to withstand the pressure, but she was slowly going down. Of everyone present, the pressure was focused on her, so she felt the brunt of it. 

ƥandasnovel·ƈom Just when she was about to fall, a figure walked in front of her and everything disappeared. She raised her head and saw the familiar black cloak that belonged to Grey. 

The old man, along with the rest of his family who were sitting behind him, looked at the scene in shock. The man in particular couldn't believe his eyes. He originally thought the pressure would kill Grey, but Grey was not just fine, he stood in front of Cori and the pressure he was using to suppress her was gone. 

"Isn't this a bit too much for a little girl?" Grey asked with a calm expression. 

He didn't seem to be under any duress, whatsoever. 

The eyes of the man turned sharp and he asked, "Who are you?" 

"Her guardian. I believe we can work things out without you having to bully her." Grey smiled. 

The young man who was speaking to Cori before the appearance of his Grandfather stood up from his seat angrily and reprimanded Grey, "Who do you think you are to speak…" I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

His voice disappeared mid speech, and so did he. No one understood what happened, except for the middle-aged man, his Grandfather. 

The eyes of the man enlarged when he saw how Grey killed his grandson in an instant. 

"I don't like noisy people." Grey commented after dealing with the young man. 

The technique he used was a simple space elemental attack. But he timed it very well, and given his strength, he hid it from the middle-aged man. As long as the attack wasn't aimed at the middle-aged man, there was no way he would be able to sense it. 

He used an enlarged form of dimensional slash, but kept it hidden until the last minute. 

"You… who are you?" The middle-aged man stuttered, he couldn't believe his eyes. 

Not sensing Grey's cultivation base only indicated one thing, Grey was far more powerful than he is. 

"I already told you, I'm her guardian." Grey said calmly. 

A chair appeared behind him and Cori, made purely from the earth element. The duo took their seats and he looked at the man coolly. 

"Right, where were we? Oh, I believe it's discussing the terms of falsely accusing her." His sitting posture was one of an unruly king. 

Everyone present in the Hall gasped in shock when they heard his words. 

This was the first time they were witnessing anyone speak to a member of the Tekik Family in such a manner, and this middle-aged man was not just any member, but he was the Head and strongest person in the Family, yet Grey was showing him little to no respect, and even sent the grandson away. 

Most of them didn't believe Grey killed the grandson of the Tekik Family, even those close to the young man didn't think he was dead, they all felt he was sent to another place. 

The middle-aged man was no fool, seeing Grey use the space element, he quickly understood that he was the one who must have robbed them. He soon started to think of a lot of things. 

'He wasn't here when I ordered for Ryla's execution, he must've come after the execution. How did he become friends with Cori then?' 

He spent more time thinking of what and how someone like Grey would choose to become friends with Cori after just spending a day in their town, but he couldn't think of anything. 

"I don't understand what you're getting at." He feigned ignorance and replied. 

"Oh, you don't?" Grey raised an eyebrow. 

The middle-aged man shook his head. They both fell silent after his reply. 

Grey raised his right hand and pointed at one of the young men sitting by the side of the man.
