Chapter 641 - Chris' Return II

The old man raised an earthen wall in front of him to block the attack.

The flame came in contact with the wall, and the wall broke apart piece by piece, stunning the old man.

Luckily, the intensity of the flame reduced after breaking through the wall.

The old man prepared his next defense, blocking the attack with all his might.

Bam!

The impact of the attack pushed him back a few steps.

'Even after its power has been reduced, it's still this strong!' The old man sucked in a deep breath.

He didn't think he would encounter someone like Chris here.

Grey and his friends' expression was one of surprise, even Oliver looked at his friend with shock.

Chris had only done two things since his appearance, but it was clear to see that he was stronger than the old man from the Azure Empire.

Hope once again appeared in the eyes of the youths. Blake and Delia had smiles of relief, while old man Gerald sighed in relief.

'Luckily, I made sure I protected that little brat. Had I followed what others said about him being dead, then I would've been dead by now,' Old man Gerald thought as he looked at Chris.

He had always been afraid of Chris, this was one of the main reasons he tried to keep Grey alive. As time went on, he unknowingly started to view Grey as someone who would be important in the future, so he wanted to create a good relationship with him.

The six black cloaked figures exchanged glances, Chris' appearance had changed the flow of things. A vicious smile appeared on the face of one of them, staring at Chris while licking his lips.

"Such a good vessel, I must get him," The figure said slowly.

"I see you've set your sights on him, Supreme One," The figure closest to the one who just spoke up said.

"Yes. I'll let these fools take care of him then swoop in to take him before they kill him," The figure regarded as the Supreme One replied.

They retreated to the back of the group from the Blue Wind Empire, waiting patiently like a predator.

Chris naturally had no idea what was going through these people's heads, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

"Who are you?" The old man from the Azure Empire asked once again, but this time, he didn't try to probe Chris' strength.

The first attack he did was to check if Chris was powerful, and Chris' counter showed him they were not on the same level, so he naturally didn't want to fight an unnecessary battle.

"Let my nephew go and scram," Chris said coldly. He turned his gaze to the Blue Wind Empire and the Stellar Empire as well, "You two as well, leave the kids and get out,"

Chris was overbearing as usual, not bothered with what the people from the other empires felt. Strength was the thing that reigned supreme, and since he was the strongest, then these people naturally had to listen to him.

The faces of everyone from all four empires changed, especially those from the Qilin Empire. Unlike the other empires, Chris didn't speak to them, it was as if they didn't exist.

"Hmph! You might be powerful, but do you think you can defeat everyone here?" The old man from the Azure Empire asked with a black face.

Chris' reply, however, stunned them all.

"Yes, yes I do," Chris replied calmly, but confidently.

Other than those from the Qilin Empire, a few people from the other empires had heard a thing about Chris. But they didn't know he was the person in front of them.

His friendship with Oliver was known only to the Qilin Empire after Oliver became the Principal and Mayor of Lunar Academy and City respectively.

"Is this the reason Klaus behaves in that manner?" Delia asked.

Now that Chris appeared, they all felt relaxed for an unknown reason. It was as if everything was settled.

"Yes, uncle Chris spoiled him, unlike Teacher," Blake replied with a shake of his head.

Being Oliver's student meant that he was very familiar with Chris. In fact, he grew up under the guidance of both Chris and Oliver. When Klaus was born, Chris naturally dotted him whenever he was around.

In fact, Chris could be said to be one of the main reasons Klaus was such a troublemaker.

The old man from the Azure Empire didn't lose his cool when he heard this, instead, he turned to look at the other Sage Plane experts from the three other empires. His intentions were clear, we have to deal with this threat, or else we will all suffer under his tyranny.

The twins from the Qilin Empire could already sense how much of a threat Chris was, but they also thought of not involving themselves in this matter. The reason for this was that the present Emperor told them Chris had zero interest in taking over from them.

Well, the only reason he didn't treat him in the same manner he handled Grey and his friends was because Chris was already out of his control. He couldn't order the Sage Plane experts carelessly, and seeing how Chris barely got involved with things involving the empire and even said he'll fight with them in case a war started, he decided to let him be.

'If he can defeat them, then we can capitalize on it to kill them all. At most, we'll apologize for what happened with his student and nephew. If things get too difficult, we'll hand Robert over to him,' The old man who was an Emperor among the twins calculated.

From his perspective, he didn't see any reason why they would help the Azure Empire in this battle. If anything, they would even team up with Chris to kill them now. This was a golden opportunity.

The Sage Plane experts from the other three empires came out, encircling Chris.

"What's the meaning of this?" The old man from the Azure Empire asked when he saw that those from the Qilin Empire weren't showing any signs of stepping forward.
