âLori family! But why?âŠâ
Grey felt his head getting dizzy. Thereâs probably n.o.body in Ailu empire or even Silvaria that doesnât know the Lori family.
They boast the highest authority in the empire with the sole exceptions of the royal family of Ailu empire, Feya empire and Baruba empire as well as their respective number one family powers.
If one were to refer to the 3 empire as the strongest forces on this world then aside from the empires themselves the number one family in each empire are just slightly below on the totem pole of power.
Midobia family is a medium power, inside Beherl, they are the only one that can compete with the Iron Dogs Mercenary group. However, their authority pales in comparison to that of the number one.
Inside the Midobia family, the strongest one would be Grey himself, a tier 6 fighter. But at this level, there are at least a thousand of them inside Lori family.
Itâs not for the lack of tier 6 fighters as well, itâs just that Lori family is too d.a.m.n powerful. Tier 5 and below accounts for about a million inside their family, and thereâs still only about 1000 of these tier 6 lying around. The ratio speak for itself about how rare a tier 6 is.
And yet Lori family could recruit and retent more than a 1000 of these rare fighters, such is the power of a number one family!
Basically, tier 6 are only at the level of âmehâ in the eyes of Lori family. Now if it were a tier 7, things would be different.
Now, with such a mighty family literally just outside their gates, between the side with a tier 7 or the side with no tier 7, is there even a need to fight?
When Grey thought about this, he subconsciously backpedaled. Now that Tigre somehow managed to get Lori familyâs help, judging by Tigreâs personality he absolutely wouldnât let Midobia family off easy.
Midobia familyâs doomsday has comeâŠ. (Tl: Not everything has to be settled with fists, but in wu xiaâŠ)
Grey laughed in a self deprecating way, who can he blame? He can only blame himself. He did receive the news about Lori family coming to Beherl but he thought it would be better to reduce contact with such a big figure lest they attract needless troubles so he didnât make any contact with them.
Who would have thought that the Iron dogs would actually be able to persuade Lori family.
Dra saw Greyâs pained expression so he came to his side to lend him his arms as support.
âFamily head, this is not the time to be despairing. So what if Lori family came here with the iron dogs, the situation can still be salvaged. Family head, please do not give up until the very end!â
Grey steeled himself up, clenching his teeth he continued.
âRight! You have a point, I canât lose hope so quickly before even grasping the situation. Letâs see what the situation is and then choose our actions wisely!â
âGo look at what situation?â
Another sound came just as Grey finished. When Dra and Grey looked towards the source of the sound they saw Wu Yan, Hinagiku, Mikoto, Ikaros and Lil olâ Lirin tagging along.
Sensing that the mood in the living room is a bit off, Wu Yan questioned Grey.
âWhatâs going on? Family head, you like you have something bugging youâŠ.â
Grey quieted down. Suddenly, he grabbed Wu Yanâs hands.
âLittle bro Wu Yan, I have a request to ask of you!â
His sudden action gave Wu Yan a jump. If not because he had a very serious face on that basically said this-s.h.i.t-is-for-real, Wu Yan probably would have sent him flying across the room with a kick. Judging from the content of his question, Wu Yan frowned.
âFamily head Grey, what is going here? What could be so big that you needed to beg for my help?â
Grey bitterly laughed and shook his head.
âA big storm might be coming for the Midobia family and as such I have a request of you, Wu Yan my broâŠâ
Grey stopped for a bit before resolving himself and continuing.
âIf something should happen later, I request that you take Lirin with you and leave this place!â
The group were shocked, Lirin practically flew to Greyâs side and bawled while not letting go of his shirt.
âDaddy, Lirin wonât run away!â
âListen! Lirin!â
Grey told her off.
âJust for today you must listen to me!â
âNo way no way! I am not going! Not going!â
Seeing the father daughter duo being this histrionic, Wu Yan quickly put a stop to them with his hand and he turned his gaze to Grey.
âFamily head Grey, I need you to tell me whatâs going on.â
Grey inhaled deeply.
âThe iron dogs are here!â
Wu Yan is not riled up at this. He knows that the iron dogs are chicken s.h.i.t and canât justify Greyâs pathetic reaction. There has to be something more tot his.
âAnd they managed to persuade Lori family, the number one family in Ailu empire to help them. This time, they might be here to eliminate the Midobia family once and for all!â
âLori family!â
Wu Yan furrowed his eyebrows.
Lori family, hey isnât Lulu from the Lori family?
âYeahâŠâ
Grey said.
âI am not sure whether or not the Lori family are here to help the iron dogs but just in case the worst case scenario happensâŠâ
âI want you to take care of my daughter. Please I beg of you, little bro Wu Yan!â
Grey wanted to bow deeply to Wu Yan but Wu Yan caught his shoulders and stopped him before grinning.
âFamily head Grey, you said it yourself that is if they are really here to help, youâre not even complete sure that they are, so itâs still too early to make any hasty a.s.sumptions. How about this, I will go check out the situation with you.â
âWhat?! No that wonât do!â
Grey retorted.
âIf anything should happen to you guys after going out there, how would we manageâŠâ
âDonât get your panties twisted in a knot, if anything really happened, and in the offchance that we actually canât fight with them, I have our escape all mapped out!â
Wu Yan donât want to get on the bad side of Lori family since itâs Luluâs family but this matter concerns Lirin and her family members, Wu Yan canât stand by and watch anything happen to them.
Moreover, suppose he canât handle it, thereâs still Ikaros and Mikoto here. The Lori family group this time wonât be able to do anything to them with 2 tier 8 on their can they?
Unless it is the previous head of Lori family, Luluâs grandfather that Fei Fei spoke of, otherwise who could contain them?
If s.h.i.t really hit the fan then just Resplendent Breath (Tl: Damage null pot) his way out of it.
Wu Yan feels like every time something happens, he would always think about cheating his way out of it. It feels like this isnât a good thingâŠ
Heâs a tier 7 now, more or less a super by this worldâs standard. If every time anything happen and he wants to run away then sooner or later this would turn into a habit. How can he accept this kind of behavior? Itâs troubling because this reflects a weak belief in his own strength.
If a person donât believe in his own power then where would he find the strength and courage to face strong enemies and go beyond their limit?
Itâs true that with System here, he would only need to grind to level up, this however is an issue of att.i.tude and paradigm, a very important issue to tackle!
Wu Yan promised deep down inside that after this he wonât use Resplendent Breath unless itâs really a big emergency. This is his way of holding himself to the rule that he shouldnât rely on external help too much.
Naturally, this doesnât apply to Hinagiku, Mikoto and Ikaros. There are all more important than himself, should any of them get hurt, he would really be hurt.
âHow can this be! What ifâŠâ
âDonât get hanged up on what if, family head Grey!â
Wu Yan slapped Greyâs shoulder before grinning.
âThere are always two ways you can take a situation, there is the bad side and then there is the good side. Donât get hanged up on the idea that the gla.s.s is half empty. Itâs good to think about the unlikely stuff but if you keep thinking about what could go wrong, for what else do you use those senses you have?â
Grey still look like heâs not sure, Wu Yan lightly coaxed him.
âMaa, take it easy and put your trust in us. Thatâs all you need to do! At the very least, when it comes to protecting our lives, I am quite confident in my abilities!â
Grey lowered his head and thought about ti for a good while before sighing reluctantly.
âAlright, but you must promise me if it really came down to a fist fight, you must remember to take Lirin with you!â
Seeing as Lirin had something to say, Grey glared at her, silencing and upsetting her as seen by her pout.
âDonât worry! It will be alright!â
They made their way to the entrance. On the way there, he suddenly had an idea.
If Lulu really is with the group who came here then itâs going to be fun huehueâŠ
