False Hero - Chapter 164

“Come! sit, let’s have some chit-chat,” said Grey, inviting Anac to the ground.

This action of Grey caught the attention of all the tribesmen. Their face twisted in rage as it was the greatest disrespect for their leader.

“Kid!! are you even aware of what it means to be invited in our sacred ground!!!!” exclaimed a woman.

Grey looked at her as he said “Yes I am aware like I said I have read the book about you guys.”

“you!!!” the woman exclaimed as she stepped forwards. But she stopped as Anac said “Now now let’s calm down. He is just a kid so he doesn’t know much about our values and tradition.”

Anac stepped his giant foot in the ground as he said “Let’s first hear about what news this kid has brought from his boss.”

Grey laughed as he spoke, “Your people seem pretty mad at me.”

“Well, they just love me. Anyways what business do you have here kid and what message does your boss has for me?”

Anac sat down with his giant body in front of Grey. Grey without answering Anac’s question Grey spoke “So….. why did you kill my people, I thought the people of Henisi really loved that forest so why the sudden interest in the business of city people?”

“We didn’t kill your people, but we are interested in working with your boss. We want a better future for ourselves in this city,” answered Anac.

Grey’s expression turned serious. The playful smile that was there on his face before was not to be seen anymore. Along with his serious expression, his tone also got serious as he said “I am the boss of the Lenton House and before I got here I made sure that the rattle gang has seen their last day on the face of this world. I am not really in the mood to play anymore, so let’s get back to business. Well, I have no business with you, I just came here to kill you.”

The words spoken by Grey attracted the fury of the tribe people.

“You brat!!!”

People exclaimed various things to Grey as they drew their weapon. Before they could head towards the ground, Anac stopped them by raising his hand.

Grey spoke again as he said “Good, fewer people involved would be better. I am in no mood for another blood bath so let’s just keep it between you and me.”

“Fine fine, I will entertain you.” Anac sighed, he scratched his beard for a second before answering “It’s simple, we want to move ahead and make ourselves a place in the city. It’s as simple as that.”

Grey stood up as he said “I see, then there is nothing to talk more about. By the way, please stop with the lie, I am fully aware that you were the one that tipped the Rattle gang to attack my transportation route. Before coming —- ” Grey raised his finger as he said ” —-I paid a small visit to the hideout of Rattle gang. Now the place is filled with corpses. Being afraid of death the leader snitched you out and well even if he didn’t, it was obvious that they weren’t the one that was behind all this.”

Anac looked up towards Grey, this time with a serious tone he asked “You keep denying that there is a boss above you. But let’s assume that you are the boss, so tell me, what is your name?”

“I am Grey Hoffmann, the prince of Frey and Amay nation and someday I will be the king.”

Anac stood up with his giant body as he said “I will fight you, this will be a great lesson for you and maybe you will start treating your life more preciously and don’t waste it away by taking on an opponent that you can’t fight.”

Anac took a stance on the ground. It wasn’t actually a stance, he stood in the ground casually with no weapon in his hand.

Grey took a casual stance as well as, “When I stand in front of you, you are really more huge.”

“Aren’t you are going to hold any sort of weapon, kid?” asked Anac.

Grey smiled as he said, “It would be unfair for you if I held a weapon and you didn’t.”

Anac laughed as he said, “I like you kid, but this attitude won’t work out in real life. Anyways let’s begin shall we —-”

Anac extended one of his giant arms towards Grey as he stepped towards Grey “Come and give me your best attack.”

Grey stepped towards him as Anac watched Grey’s movement. Grey casually walked closer to Anac, as Grey walked closer to him there was only one thought in Anac’s mind ‘This kid—– he is making it too obvious that he will be attacking me from the front. Perhaps I should end it sooner.’

Being a step away from Anac, Grey swung his fist aiming at the right part of Anac’s chest. ‘It’s too obvious, this kid is not even trying to hide —–‘

A sharp pain buzzed through his chest, in an instant, he let out a groan “Guh!!”. Along with the pain, the shock of the unexpected made it even more painful for him.

Perhaps it was the pain or it was the element of unexpected but he wasn’t able to hide the shock and pain from his face.

Finding himself taking a step back, Anac couldn’t believe that he was not able to block such an obvious attack. ‘This kid—- he is fast and —– strong.’

Grey took a step back as he said “Don’t look so shocked. I am a man that killed your brother and the entirety of the rattle gang, I am strong —– I am the son of Alice so it’s natural that I am strong.”

The words that he heard made him forget about the pain that was surging through his chest. “You —- you killed my brother?”

Grey’s eyes shined in the brightest shade of purple-indigo, he emitted a dense aura around him. He didn’t release it on purpose, but it was something that was happening naturally to him.

He looked at Anac, but this action of Grey sent a chill down everyone’s spine present in that place. “Do you think that I would let your brother walk away? Do you think that I would let the person who was involved in the plan of killing my people, I would let him walk away alive. You think you will be able to settle outside in the city at the expense of people and that too my people.

There is this one unwritten rule of this world. “Blood for blood” have you ever heard about it? If you lay your foundation on bloodshed? Huh? By the way, I take that rule to the extreme, if you spill blood on my side, I will —-”

Grey enhanced his speed and strength by using his venom factor. With a tremendous speed, he dashed in front of Anac, with a slight jump Grey swung his fist.

“If you spill blood on my side, I will flood the entire river at your side.”

Anac was barely able to block the attack from Grey. The force of Grey’s punch was something more than he had anticipated, the force of the punch was enough to push Anac back.

Tripping over Anac fell to the ground. Even though he fell down, his eyes were fixed at Grey. Looking at the cold face of Grey, Anac was sure about one thing…….. He was scared of Grey.

Without giving much chance, Grey dashed towards Anac. He again swung his fist, as he was close to connecting his fist—— A force crashed onto Grey as he was knocked back. Rolling once Grey gained his footwork, There wasn’t much injury on Grey’s body except for the little bleeding from his hand.

Looking at the thing that happened before her, Anac’s eyes widened in shock. “This —— it was the power of Anac’s seal marking. The seal marking of craftsman!! He—– he was forced to use it against —– a kid? not only that, it should have been able to finish that kid off. But —- that kid—- he is barely scratched.”

Anac’s wife closed her fist, the gut feeling of her knowing that something is going wrong was getting more and more intense. But she was powerless to do anything.

{Author: Seal marking of craftsman, this seal marking enables users to make things out of earth efficiently and way quicker than normal earth mages. The quality of their weapon is also better than normal earth users.}

Anac knew that he just tried to kill a kid, but his instincts were getting better for him. His instincts knew that he was scared of Grey.

A soft laugher was heard by Anac which sent a chill down his spine, Grey spoke as he wipes dust from his face “Not bad, you are getting serious.”

Grey extended his arms wide open in front of the giant as he said “Fight me, and show me how strong you are!”
