Chapter 122 (1/2)

“Lori family! But why?…”

Grey felt his head getting dizzy. There’s probably n.o.body in Ailu empire or even Silvaria that doesn’t know the Lori family.

They boast the highest authority in the empire with the sole exceptions of the royal family of Ailu empire, Feya empire and Baruba empire as well as their respective number one family powers.

If one were to refer to the 3 empire as the strongest forces on this world then aside from the empires themselves the number one family in each empire are just slightly below on the totem pole of power.

Midobia family is a medium power, inside Beherl, they are the only one that can compete with the Iron Dogs Mercenary group. However, their authority pales in comparison to that of the number one.

Inside the Midobia family, the strongest one would be Grey himself, a tier 6 fighter. But at this level, there are at least a thousand of them inside Lori family.

It’s not for the lack of tier 6 fighters as well, it’s just that Lori family is too d.a.m.n powerful. Tier 5 and below accounts for about a million inside their family, and there’s still only about 1000 of these tier 6 lying around. The ratio speak for itself about how rare a tier 6 is.

And yet Lori family could recruit and retent more than a 1000 of these rare fighters, such is the power of a number one family!

Basically, tier 6 are only at the level of ‘meh’ in the eyes of Lori family. Now if it were a tier 7, things would be different.

Now, with such a mighty family literally just outside their gates, between the side with a tier 7 or the side with no tier 7, is there even a need to fight?

When Grey thought about this, he subconsciously backpedaled. Now that Tigre somehow managed to get Lori family’s help, judging by Tigre’s personality he absolutely wouldn’t let Midobia family off easy.

Midobia family’s doomsday has come…. (Tl: Not everything has to be settled with fists, but in wu xia…)

Grey laughed in a self deprecating way, who can he blame? He can only blame himself. He did receive the news about Lori family coming to Beherl but he thought it would be better to reduce contact with such a big figure lest they attract needless troubles so he didn’t make any contact with them.

Who would have thought that the Iron dogs would actually be able to persuade Lori family.

Dra saw Grey’s pained expression so he came to his side to lend him his arms as support.

“Family head, this is not the time to be despairing. So what if Lori family came here with the iron dogs, the situation can still be salvaged. Family head, please do not give up until the very end!”

Grey steeled himself up, clenching his teeth he continued.

“Right! You have a point, I can’t lose hope so quickly before even grasping the situation. Let’s see what the situation is and then choose our actions wisely!”

“Go look at what situation?”

Another sound came just as Grey finished. When Dra and Grey looked towards the source of the sound they saw Wu Yan, Hinagiku, Mikoto, Ikaros and Lil ol’ Lirin tagging along.

Sensing that the mood in the living room is a bit off, Wu Yan questioned Grey.

“What’s going on? Family head, you like you have something bugging you….”

Grey quieted down. Suddenly, he grabbed Wu Yan’s hands.

“Little bro Wu Yan, I have a request to ask of you!”

His sudden action gave Wu Yan a jump. If not because he had a very serious face on that basically said this-s.h.i.t-is-for-real, Wu Yan probably would have sent him flying across the room with a kick. Judging from the content of his question, Wu Yan frowned.

“Family head Grey, what is going here? What could be so big that you needed to beg for my help?”

Grey bitterly laughed and shook his head.

“A big storm might be coming for the Midobia family and as such I have a request of you, Wu Yan my bro…”

Grey stopped for a bit before resolving himself and continuing.

“If something should happen later, I request that you take Lirin with you and leave this place!”

The group were shocked, Lirin practically flew to Grey’s side and bawled while not letting go of his s.h.i.+rt.

“Daddy, Lirin won’t run away!”

“Listen! Lirin!”

Grey told her off.

“Just for today you must listen to me!”

“No way no way! I am not going! Not going!”

Seeing the father daughter duo being this histrionic, Wu Yan quickly put a stop to them with his hand and he turned his gaze to Grey.

“Family head Grey, I need you to tell me what’s going on.”

Grey inhaled deeply.
