Chapter 208 - 170.3 : Favor (2/2)

”Thanks for your help. My Kang family owes you a favor, whatever you need, you can come to ask us.”

With that said, he elegantly bowed to the red-haired youth and dragged his sister away from this area as the other God beasts would come here to harvest what needs to be harvested. Of course, he didn't forget to bring the available eggs of the mantis.

The duo didn't travel far away before they detected a presence following them. This time, the red-haired youth didn't hide his presence and openly followed them, not caring about anything. Kithel was first suspicious but upon thorough thinking, he just concluded that 'he' must be heading to the center of the tomb, just like them.

....

Some time passed and after the unceasing nagging of his little sister, Kithel paused on his tracks and was more or less forced to confront the red-haired youth, who he felt uncomfortable around for some unknown reason.

”Friend, how about we travel together, it's safer that way.”

With nothing to say but that, Kithel politely invited the youth to join them albeit his unwillingness. Emily, on the other hand, was pretty excited about this matter, she wanted to befriend the strong youth as his type of power are new even to a genius like herself.

The youth also halted and remained silent for a bit of time as if he didn't hear Kithel, after what seemed to be a bitter eternity to Kithel, the stranger nodded in response without uttering any word.

Upon seeing that, Emily unhesitantly darted towards him, asking random questions left and right, which he didn't answer, obviously.....

Like that, their travel continued, it was safer for Kithel and his sister since, like this, she doesn't need to show her real strength to get rid of the surfacing God Beasts. All the hindrance they met on the road were easily killed by the red-haired youth. It was always the same method, the same red fog, and the same painful wails.

No existence of injuries, soul attacks or poisoning which added to the wariness Kithel was feeling towards this mysterious stranger. He even started thinking that it may be an assassin, but if he were an assassin, there was no need to expose himself, he would've been able to finish them if he attacked at the right moment.

Maybe it was a spy, but that was rather far-fetched too, it is quite funny that Kithel is pondering a lot about the motives of the red-haired youth when his real attention is really befriending them, although his approach or communication skills are worse than Arthur's.
