Chapter 341 Two Monster Lords?
Kyle raised his head and stared directly at the man, narrowing his eyes at the air behind him. He wasn't sure if his senses were correct, so he activated his skill, scent perception, to sense the faint thing lurking behind Istalian.
The shadow behind Istalian was startled when it sensed someone gazing at it. It glanced at Kyle and immediately vanished into thin air, trying not to expose itself.
Kyle's brow furrowed as he smelled the various scents in the air. However, he confirmed his suspicions that something strong and dark was present behind Istalian.
He started floating in the air and stopped right in front of Istalian and the guards holding the golden chests.
"Why and how much does master need to pay you?"
As he spoke, an extremely cold aura spread through the air, making those weaker than (S)-rank shiver.
Alec and Carcel glanced at each other and quickly left the ground, floating beside Kyle in mid-air.
Alec raised his brow.
"Let's hear it. Why does Elder Han have to pay you?"
After the duo, many figures rose into the air. All the people who knew Kyle appeared around him. He was already strong enough, but they just wanted to stand beside him.
Istalian's expression darkened, and the old men and women from the other continents immediately distanced themselves to avoid being associated with him. He chuckled.
"Very well!"
Instead of stepping back, he immediately told Kyle how Elder Han had opened the realm gate before the intended time and wasted many resources.
Kyle blinked and gazed at his master floating in the distance.
On his left, Jian cracked his knuckles, ready to put the man in his place. Can't he see that he was alone with a few guards and they outnumbered him? Yet, Kyle surprised him with his next words.
"How much?"
Istalian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he deliberately increased the amount tenfold. The faces of the old men floating in the distance paled when they heard the amount. They glanced at each other because none of them had even seen it before.
Elder Han cried out and pointed his trembling finger at the man.
"You-!"
But he wasn't able to complete his sentence because Kyle agreed instantly as if the amount was nothing.
Istalian scoffed at his calm expression, but in the next second, Kyle tossed two storage rings toward him. The man eyes dilated as he saw the rings coming at him. He immediately grabbed the rings, but to the shock of the crowd, he was pushed back mid-air.
He stared at Kyle with disbelief. Just how strong does one have to be to startle him? He was at the pinnacle of mortal strength! He was the only (SSS+)-rank in the whole planet!
Disregarding the stunned eyes, Kyle raised his brow.
'One of the rings is divine grade, the other is supreme grade. I believe the things inside are enough to keep a whole Kingdom afloat for fifty years, even if they have nothing.'
'Also, I am overlooking the strange being behind you because I remember I owe you one.'
An emotionless voice echoed inside Istalian's head. It took a minute for him to completely digest Kyle's words, and when he did, he was rooted to his spot.
The word 'Divine grade' echoed in his head. No one should know about this word, but seeing how easily the silver-haired man opposite him tossed the rings toward him, it seemed divine grade was nothing for him!
Istalian let out a shuddering breath when he glanced inside the rings. They were not filled, but the things inside were indeed enough to keep a whole Kingdom afloat for fifty years.
He raised his hand, signaling his guards to retreat, and gazed at Kyle one final time before abruptly departing, leaving the crowd in a state of shock.
Kyle's lips trickled upward as he stared at Istalian's retreating figure. He gazed back, and before anyone could offer him treasures to join their Kingdom, he immediately entered the Kingdom Escalante tent.
Elder Han appeared behind him, gazing at him with a incredible expression. Kyle nodded at the old man.
"Master, I want to go home, but I believe it's better if we all go back together."
Elder Han gave him a quick nod.
"Don't worry, King Foraan is here. He has bought a big ship. All the people from Kingdom Escalante will go back together."
After just half an hour, they boarded the ship and it started floating in the air.
King Foraan was tempted to go and talk with Alec, Kyle, Carcel, and all the strong kids from the other Kingdoms. Who wouldn't want more allies? But he was surprised to find out that both Kelvin and Jian already knew them.
As the ship soared, all the older people gathered in a closed room to figure out how to tell the kids about the monster lords. They even put up a big Array around the room so no one could overhear.
When Elder Han arrived in front of the room, a little figure appeared on his shoulder out of nowhere. It was Bia!
The old man looked at her and blinked.
Bia blinked back.
He smiled faintly, but one could tell he was sweating because now he knew for sure that Bia could communicate with Kyle!
"What are you doing here, little one? Go play somewhere else."
He waved his hand to dismiss her. But then, a calm and low voice sent shivers down his spine.
-"Old man, I know you've become smarter in my absence. Kyle and the others asked me to spy, so just quietly take me with you. Don't worry about the others, just tell them I can't understand."
Elder Han wiped his sweaty forehead and pushed the door open. Instantly, many eyes turned towards him, some curious gazes traveled toward Bia. However, Elder Han immediately assured them with a dead serious expression that she couldn't understand a word.
As they began their discussion, unaware that their words were being heard by the kids, Kyle leaned back in his chair in another room.
"Two monster lords?"
Alec and the all his friends around him widened their eyes, taking in the information from their spy.
