Chapter 208 - 170.3 : Favor (1/2)

As her hesitation grew and her eyes diverted to and from the red-haired youth, who was just standing a few meters away from her without doing anything, Emily finally reached the end of her patience and was about to help her brother when the latter, who just barely dodged the mantis hooks, shouted at the red-haired youth

”Friend! Could you please take my sister and go away, I can't deal with this God beast and protect her at the same time.”

Kithel knew that his sister's real strength should never be exposed so he opted for the safest decision. Although he got injured by the Mantis, it wasn't fatal and he had enough confidence to escape, it's just that he didn't want strangers to see his real trump cards.

The red-haired youth remained silent with an expressionless face as he watched Kithel battle against the raging mantis, which was becoming more and more furious.

Helpless, Kithel could only plead with the stranger against hoping he would listen to him. Although he rarely showed himself, he held some fame and was known to be social and unlike arrogant young masters who always flaunt their skills.

”Friend, help me and my Kang family will owe you a favor.”

It had no injuries whatsoever, which further astonished Kithel, this led him to be warier of the red-haired youth as he started regretting his actions. He didn't even know how the beast was killed, moreover, he was killed in a few seconds, so it's obvious that the youth is a God.

Despite his rampaging thoughts, Kithel kept a calm expression and showed a grateful smile to the stranger after 'checking' the safety of his sister. Emily was equally surprised yet no cautious, in fact, she was curious as it is the first time for her to venture out of the city without special guards and only with her brother. She had to conceal her real strength and always wanted someone equal to become friends with and such a person did indeed appear, although he was a bit eccentric.

”Nee nee who are you? Where did you come from?”

The girl started bombarding him with nonstopping questions, which he obviously didn't answer. Kithel had to forcefully stop her and drag her away, he then turned to look back at the youth, who didn't move a single step and added
