Chapter 1451  Hi There, It's Been A While

"My Prince, we need you to come see this yourself. It's a serious matter."

"You're saying you two found a treasure and that filthy human attacked you?"

"Yes, he couldn't defeat us. He has a few tricks, but we dealt a deadly blow to him. If not for the fact that he self-destructed his Peak Venerable puppets, he would've been dead by now."

"Where's the treasure now?"

"That's the thing, we can't take it out of the place, if not, it'll not be as effective as it is there."

The Seventh Prince took a close look at the duo who had their heads bowed. These were the two people who he sent out to follow Robert to apprehend the human girl, he never expected something like this would happen that would cause a fight to break out between them.

"Humans are always greedy, hence their decline." The Seventh Prince snorted and stood up.

"Take me there, we should be fast before that guy comes back with reinforcement." He ordered.

"Don't worry my Prince, there's no way other humans will be as unruly as him to come there, except for 'him'." One of the Gnomes said.

When the Gnome said 'him', the Seventh Prince knew who he was talking about and snorted coldly.

"He's not here, if he is we would've gotten wind of it and ended that bastard."

The duo didn't speak and led the Prince out. For precautionary measures, the Prince took two more Peak Venerables with him. There's a chance that humans would come to the place, so there was no harm in being prepared.

Robert heard Grey's statement and thought about what Grey made him say. Now he understood the meaning behind the word 'him', and why the Prince had such reactions to it.

Robert did as told and ensured that the duo who accompanied the Prince were standing close to each other. It wasn't difficult since all he had to do was to make the two guys he was controlling stand on the same side and discuss certain issues under their breath. The other two naturally teamed up.

The Seventh Prince couldn't be bothered with what was happening. He told them to find the girl once they were done with this.

As they headed closer to the place, the Seventh Prince felt unsettled, for some reason, he felt something was wrong.

'Since I encountered him, I've been worrying whenever I leave the castle.'

Although the Prince didn't want to accept it, he couldn't deny the fact that Grey had cast a shadow on his head which was playing with him.

The sooner Grey was caught and killed, the better his life would be.

'I just need to end him. Even if not personally, at least I should be involved in it.'

The Prince was lost in thought when he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the space behind him.

His pupils dilated because he was familiar with this thing. He had experienced it before and knew who it belonged to. Before he could react, it was too late.

Grey had switched places with one of the men behind him and he attacked the other one the second he appeared, immobilizing him with a single attack.

The other guy wasn't as fortunate as this one, Robert directly killed him.

"Hi there, it's been a while." Grey waved with a grin on his face.
