Chapter 461 Confrontation of the Strong 2
'Did she just thought that they could just come here and migrate? Wow, humans really are the same no matter which world they're from,' he chuckled to himself, amused by the display of their greed.
"Yes. This is the Upper World, where gods live, and you are in my territory..." he trailed off, quickly thinking of a fitting name for this place.
"The Realm of the Great Sage!" he declared, though at this point, he was just copying something he remembered from his past world.
It wasn't like the real Wukong existed anyway; he was just a myth.
"The Realm of the Great Sage..." she repeated, this time looking amazed by the powerful-sounding name.
'I've got to admit, writers from the past world really knew how to pick names. If I had that talent, my skills would sound way more epic,' he sighed, acknowledging that naming things was one of his weaknesses.
Well, calling it a weakness was even sugarcoating it. If he joined a competition for naming things, he'd probably rank 11th—out of 10 contestants.
'Well, at least my acting is working,' he thought, unable to help but smile under his mask.
'Now I just need to keep up the act. Maybe I can even fool her into revealing if she has an ally nearby,'
"Are you here to invade us? To kill my people? If that's the case, then I'll have no choice but to eradicate you, no matter how much I hate using violence," he warned, his voice full of anger and frustration, casting her as the villain.
She realized this, so she quickly thought of her next move.
"I apologize for being rude," she said, clasping her hands together. "My name is Miyu Ivanov."
'Miyu? Her last name is from the East, but I'm pretty sure Ivanov isn't,'
As he took a closer look, he noticed hints of Eastern heritage in her features, except for the gray hair.
'So she's half and half,' he nodded in understanding
"Explain yourself!" he spat out.
"I was suddenly transported to this place, and those... anima... citizens of yours attacked me out of nowhere. I was just trying to defend myself, and for that, I apologize again. I came here with no intention of harm," she explained.
"Nonsense! If I came to your world unannounced, wouldn't you find be hostile too? Wouldn't you try to figure out what caused the disturbance? They weren't trying to attack you; it was you who attacked them. Don't twist it, human," he rebutted, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Miyu's expression tightened, annoyance flashing in her eyes for a brief moment before she quickly masked it with a smile. It was clear she had little patience.
She was only putting up with all of his crazy antics because she assumed that he could provide her with answers about this strange place.
"No need to answer that, Miyu!"
SWOOOSH!
SWOOOSH!
Your journey continues at empire
SWOOOSH!
More hunters arrived, just as he had expected, quickly surrounding Miyu and locking gazes with him.
As he tried to gauge their power, he sensed that all of them were almost at the same level in terms of vitality except for one, indicating that he might be dealing with five high-ranking hunters in total.
His attention focused on the old man with blonde hair.
Although his face showed signs of age, he radiated a level of strength that was far beyond the others.
Reign's instincts screamed at him; this man was not someone to take lightly.
The other thing that piqued his interest was that he looked like a much older version of Jayden.
'Could they be related?'
It wasn't such a far-fetched idea, considering they all came from the Tier 1 city where Jayden's family lived.
"Mr. Razer, this man says he's a local and the king of this territory," Miyu quickly explained, concerned that they might attack without understanding the situation.
She began whispering, giving him a complete rundown of what was happening.
Meanwhile, hearing her mention the 'Razer Family', Reign was able to confirm his suspicion.
The old hunter turned his attention to Reign.
"My name is Will Razer, and I get what's going on. I'm sorry if she harmed your people; we're ready to make it right and compensate you for your loss."
If he just accepted their offer, they would see him as a pushover, and he couldn't let that happen
"Compensate me for my loss? Do you think their lives are that cheap?" Reign's sneered in contempt.
The expressions of the four hunters turned sour after hearing his threat.
They shifted their stances, hands inching closer to their weapons, ready to react at a moment's notice.
"Humans. Aren't you being a bit too brazen?" Reign growled, his voice low and dangerous.
But they didn't back down.
'Idiots' He reached into his ear and pulled out a small object, something that resembled a toothpick.
"Expand!"
The toothpick enlarged, transforming into a long staff that now towered in his hands.
"Get ready!" His display of power alarmed the hunters, and they quickly shifted into fighting stances—except for Miyu and Will, who remained rooted in place.
"An eye for an eye," Reign declared with unwavering confidence.
"Big words for a demon!" one of the hunters sneered in contempt.
Reign's appearance had convinced them he was just another demon, and who could blame them?
The dark energy swirling around him only reinforced that impression.
"We don't need to fight. Please, cooperate with us," Miyu interjected, insisting on talking things out with him.
"It's too late for that. He dared call me a demon? I'll kill him in exchange for the life of my citizen you took, and then we can call it even."
Miyu's gaze shifted to the hunter who had spoken, irritation flashing in her eyes.
She didn't like his arrogant demeanor because it only made the situation worse.
But as much as she wanted to call him out for his foolishness, she knew that humanity couldn't afford to lose another powerful Hunter.
