Chapter 1189 Asking For Help

Grey took a glance at Void who looked back at him in disgust. 

”Donʼt associate me with that petty creature.” Void said in dissatisfaction. 

Grey couldnʼt help but laugh when he heard this. He couldnʼt help it, with all the descriptions he got from Cori about the Space Tiger, he actually did feel like there was some sort of relation between Void and the Space Tiger. 

He didnʼt forget the few times he had seen Void increase his size. To be very honest, Void did look like a large Tiger, and given his spatial prowess, there was a very good chance his bones might also have such attributes. 

Cori turned to look at Void, a bit taken aback by the small talking cat. 

”Thatʼs your pet?” She asked curiously, her focus fully on Void. 

”Pet? Not really, more like a companion. Heʼs like a little kid.” Grey chuckled as he replied. 

When he saw Voidʼs expression when he was saying this, he almost burst out laughing. 

”Alright, since thatʼs all. Iʼll be leaving. You should be careful out there. These people wonʼt let this matter rest with just killing your brother.” He advised Cori, before looking at Void and the bunny leader which had appeared, ”Letʼs get going.” 

”Uhm… can I ask for your help with something?” Cori held his cloak, when he turned she hurriedly added, ”Iʼll pay you for it.” 

”Oh, what might that be?” Grey asked, a little curious. For some reason, he could almost guess what she wanted, but he decided to hear from her first. 

”I want revenge. I want you to help me get revenge against those people that killed my brother.” Cori said, her eyes teary.

”Iʼll give you the core, I know you wanted it. You can also take the bones from their place, itʼs there.” She added. 

Grey looked at the core before looking at her again, ”Are you sure?” 

Cori nodded her little head. 

”Your brother brought this for you. He couldʼve used it to increase his strength, but he kept it hidden just for you.” Grey didnʼt give her an answer, only asking her some questions. 

”Iʼm sure of it. Even without this, I can grow stronger. But if I donʼt get revenge for my brother now, I wonʼt be able to focus on cultivating.” Cori said. 

Grey gently ruffled her hair before asking playfully, ”Do you think Iʼm strong enough to fight against them?” 

Cori froze when she heard this question, she didnʼt think about this and only just blurted out what was in her head. To be honest, she didnʼt know if Grey was strong enough to fight against the Tekik Family, all she knew was that he helped her when she was attacked. 

With her strength, if she was also hiding in the dark, she would be able to stop the attack of these men. She hurriedly tried to sense Greyʼs cultivation stage but she realized that she couldnʼt sense it. 

”Un…cle, have you gotten to Rank Seven?” She asked, a bit worried. She already had the thought of Grey helping her deal with the Tekik Family, and now that she realized he might not be able to, she somewhat didnʼt want to believe it. 

”Rank Seven?” Grey wore a confused expression on his face when he heard her question, he soon understood that these people had different ways of ranking themselves. Unlike them who use Planes, they use Ranks, just like Magical Beasts. 

”Whatʼs your Rank?” He asked Cori. 

Cori replied with raising six fingers, ”Rank Six.” 

”Then I should be able to do it. I know the strength of the strongest person in this town, and whoever the person is, they are not that strong.” Greyʼs reply made a smile appear on the face of the little girl. 

”If you can, then letʼs go now, Uncle.” Cori showed some happiness, although she was still very much sad due to the death of her elder brother, she was a bit happy that some of her grievances would be met. 

”No rush. Iʼll go there tomorrow. I feel like something big is going to happen tomorrow.” Grey replied coolly. 

Cori looked at him with her wet beady eyes but didnʼt say anything more. She sat on the side as tears started rolling down her eyes once again. 

Grey looked at her and shook his head. He didnʼt know how it felt to watch those close to you die before you. However, he knew how it felt to be left without any family member. He stayed without his parents for over eight years, and even when he met them, he left them for another year or so before going back, he had still not been able to connect with them much. 

His situation was far better than Coriʼs state where she doesnʼt have anyone to call family. 

ʼHow about we share it with her?ʼ Grey looked at Void. 

ʼI thought you donʼt care about others?ʼ Void asked. 

ʼIʼm not a heartless demon. I took in Arya, whatʼs wrong if I decide to help this girl?ʼ Grey retorted. 

It was common knowledge that he was a ruthless figure, but there had been several occasions when he showed a soft part of him. 

ʼWhatʼs your plan?ʼ The bunny leader asked. 

ʼLetʼs mess with those people.ʼ Grey said with an evil smile. 

ʼHehe, thatʼs what I wanted to say.ʼ The bunny leader laughed happily. 

As long as it didnʼt have to fight, it was good. In this case, even if it didnʼt want to fight, it could use its pressure to subdue everyone in this town, so why be afraid. If not for Grey and Void, it wouldʼve ransacked the place already. 

Grey chuckled when he saw its reaction, Void also had a happy expression. Although there were few things of value here, other than this orb, the rest were located at the same place, it was easy for him to know that they belonged to the same individual. 

If he didnʼt want to help Cori, he wouldnʼt have bothered with them, but since he wanted to help, thereʼs no harm in having some fun.
