Chapter 189 - Touched!

Chapter 189 - Touched!

Grey, Alice, and Void watched on as Reynolds beat Klaus up without showing any signs of stopping him, it was only after leaving him to suffer at the hands of the Elemental Warrior for about three minutes did they finally decide to stop it.

The moment they stopped them, Klaus was surprisingly the one who was still thrash talking.

"This isn't over, you think you can bully me? Just you wait and see, I'll beat you up so good..." Klaus went on a rant for almost two minutes, talking about how he would beat Reynolds up.

It still wasn't clear how he was going to beat him up given the fact that since Reynolds had the Elemental Warrior, even if Klaus was ahead of him in terms of stages, the Elemental Warrior would not only be stronger than him, it would also be ahead of Klaus in the aspect of stages as well.

"Come on Rey, apologize to him. Or, do you want to see him cry?" Grey urged Reynolds to apologize, before mocking Klaus in the process.

Klaus who just kept quiet exploded once again and this time, Grey was his target. Grey quickly apologized, along with Reynolds.

Only after the duo praised his handsomeness did Klaus decide to forgive them, although, he felt a little weird when Grey praised him since Grey was clearly more handsome, it felt strange.

"Can we go now?" Alice who had gotten tired of standing and watching the boys show said while tapping her left foot on the ground.

The boys nodded and quickly went towards the path on the right. When choosing a path previously, they followed Klaus' gut feeling and entered the path on the left, but since there was a chance each path might have a treasure, they didn't need to deliberate over which path to take anymore.

They followed the long path, but just like the first one, they were cautious. After fifteen minutes of walking, they got to the end of the path, but this path unfortunately didn't have a door which they could use in advance.

"A dead end?" Klaus asked.

"I think so." Reynolds responded.

Grey approached the wall and placed his right hand on it, since he's an Earth Elementalist, he could sense if it was truly a dead end or if there was a space inside.

It hadn't been long since Grey realized he could do something like this, he felt a little depressed when he noticed this because most of the time he spent on searching places if there were secret doors or paths, he would have been able to sense it with a touch.

Their return journey was faster, and within five minutes, they've gotten to the spot where the paths converged. Without wasting any time, they entered the middle path, with high hopes and expectations.

"Maybe we'll get something that can actually improve our stages this time, or even better, improve our elemental grades." Reynolds said a little excitedly.

"Don't get over yourself, acquiring the Great Earth Essence Liquid was pure luck." Grey shook his head at Reynolds high expectations.

But he couldn't deny it though, he too hoped they would acquire something great, just like the life-saving tonic they got from the previous path, or even better.

Speaking of the Great Earth Essence Liquid, Klaus and Alice turned to look at Grey.

"Do you still have them?" Alice inquired.

"What?" Grey asked with a confused look.

"The Great Earth Essence Liquid?" Klaus was the one who spoke up this time.

"Of course, other than the time we refined it previously, the rest are still intact." Grey said calmly.

"Can you please give one to my dad?" Klaus asked with a somewhat anxious look.

Grey was the one who acquired it, so they naturally didn't have the right to them. They were already feeling grateful to him for giving them one each, so asking for another one was a little too overboard from their point of view given the value of the item.

"Sure." Grey replied nonchalantly.

"Huh!" Klaus was left dumbstruck by Grey's answer.

Even though he wished Grey would give it to him, he didn't think he would agree so easily, he didn't even think about it! Klaus felt touched by Grey's kind gesture.

"You're a true friend." He said with a teardrop coming from the side of his eye while approaching Grey.

"What are you doing?" Grey asked as he saw Klaus coming towards him.

"From this day henceforth, I've decided to help you get any girl you finally fall in love with." Klaus declared in a low voice while hugging Grey.

"Get away from me, and what makes you feel I'll need your help then?" Grey said while pushing Klaus away from him.

"I think you've forgotten about this." Grey pointed at his face and flashed a smile.

"Wow, I'm impressed, but it's not all about being handsome, there are some criteria you'll need to fulfill." Klaus said with a grin.

"Hmm, so you're saying this isn't important?" Grey asked to be sure.

"Of course it's important, but it's not all about it." Klaus chuckled.

"Oh, tell me more." Grey said a little intrigued while wrapping his hand around Klaus' shoulder.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Klaus said while the duo continued walking forward.

Void has since discarded Grey's shoulder and was on Alice's, compared to Grey, she pets him a lot, which he likes.

"You two, are crazy." Alice said while staring at the duo oddly.

Some moments ago, Grey was pushing Klaus away, but in the next second, they had their hands wrapped around each other's shoulders. Because the duo spoke in a low voice, she didn't hear what they were talking about, neither did Reynolds, but Void heard it all, and he felt a little disappointed that Klaus didn't share his knowledge.
