Chapter 1354 Hand Over Your Treasures

"How hard could killing a young kid be? Are those humans so incompetent?"
"You saw how he ran through all the Venerable Gnomes in the secret realm. Even if you want to discredit the humans, it's not going to change the fact that this boy is a genius like no other."
"From what I know, he's the son of two prodigies who got married."
"No wonder they gave birth to such an anomaly."
"Stop heaping praises on this kid. We want him dead."
"What about bringing him over to our side? If we can groom him, we'll have a good chance of creating a True God that will give us a better chance of crossing over to the higher Plane."
"It wouldn't change the fact that he's a human. What if he opens the way for them too? It's best we kill him and get it over with."
"We haven't been able to visit that realm for hundreds of years now. We need to grab any opportunity that comes our way."
"We should be reasonable with this. I'll talk to the Emperor and hear what he has to say about this. In the meantime, try to get as much information about him as possible. We need to stop this kid."
….
Grey had no idea that he was being discussed about in the Gnome race's Continent.
They just stepped out of the secret realm.
"Ha… nothing like the fresh air of our continent." Reynolds said with a sigh.
"Yeah. What's the plan now. We should be done with our trip to the Middle Continent. Where should we head to now?" Klaus asked.
"Southern Continent?" Alice asked
"Alright." The others nodded. They didn't really have a choice. As long as they ended in the Western Continent in the end of their trip, they were satisfied.
The group headed in the direction of the Southern Continent after leaving.
The Elder from the Burchard Family watched them leave with a smile on his face. He recalled when he traveled the Continent as well as a youth. Now, he was too old for all these. Unless it was a treasure or a great battle, he had zero reasons to leave the Middle Continent.
….
The time went by in a flash and they soon arrived on the border leading to the Southern Continent.
"Do you think we can get to the Sovereign Plane before going back?" Klaus asked Grey.
Alice and Reynolds were still some time away, but the duo were already at the Peak of the Venerable Plane and they didn't think it would take too long before they broke through to the Sovereign Plane.
"Maybe. Depends on our encounters. Given your luck, you might be able to. I'm not so sure about myself." Grey replied.
"I feel you have the higher chances of breaking through." Klaus said.
Grey shrugged, he wasn't too interested in advancing too fast. This is the reason he was only at the Peak of the Venerable Plane. Given his normal speed, he might've most likely broken through to the Sovereign Plane by now. The only drawback is that he wouldn't be as strong as he is now that he's at the Peak.
….
Three weeks later.
Grey and his friends were in a canyon in the Southern Continent.
"We're being followed." Grey said to his friends.
"Oh, they should be entertaining this time. The last group we fought weren't all that." Klaus said.
During their journey, being as young as they were, they were targeted by a lot of groups of thieves. Unfortunately for them, they weren't even all that. A simple release of aura and they were trembling in fear.
Grey didn't want to bother with killing them, but Alice killed them all. According to her, she didn't want these people to go on and take innocent lives.
They had no problem with her killing them. They had encountered three groups so far, and Alice has made sure all three groups were eradicated. She was quite fierce when it came to things like this.
"Yeah, I haven't been able to even test out my moves." Reynolds said.
Grey squinted his eyes and looked behind him, a smile formed on his face as he said, "Don't worry, these guys will be a handful."
Hearing Grey's words, they knew they were about to face a group of powerful bandits.
They camped in one of the paths of the canyon. There was no point in leaving without having to face their guests.
It didn't take long before this group of bandits appeared. This time, even Klaus was a bit serious.
These people had six people at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane, and the rest forty or so members were in the Late to Early stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane respectively.
"An entire group of Venerables, that's something you don't see everyday." Reynolds remarked.
"You guys were the ones looking for a challenge. Well, there it is." Grey said.
"We can deal with them. There's nothing to worry about." Klaus was confident.
Reynolds was also just as confident. Alice might not be as strong as they were, but she was confident in her abilities. As long as she merged with her Seelie, she has no issues with fighting against some Peak Venerables.
"I'll let you guys deal with them. Void and I will watch from the side." Grey disappeared after saying this, his voice echoed after he left, "Enjoy."
"Do you guys think we should beat him to a pulp one of these days?" Klaus asked.
"Very much so. Unfortunately, we're still to weak for now." Reynolds replied.
"Don't worry, I'll get to the Sovereign Plane before him. He's toast once I break through." Klaus said.
"You guys know I can hear you, right?"
"It doesn't mean we won't speak. We're not afraid of you." Klaus retorted.
"Focus on the battle in front of you before you get robbed."
"These guys aren't enough. If they want to rob me, they'll need more people."
"Hand over your belongings." One of the Peak Venerables among the bandits said.
"I was just about to say the same to you." Klaus smirked.
