"Principal, we'll be going our separate ways here. Thank you for your help with the map," Grey bowed to Klaus' father when they got to a two-way junction.

He would be taking the path on the right while Klaus and his group would be taking the path on the left. According to the Principal, they wanted to travel the continent, see what each continent holds.

That was a plan that Klaus was especially excited about. He had been stuck in the Qilin empire since he was born, well only he would use the term stuck.

"It's okay. Make sure to take care of yourself. Also, in case you encounter Chris, tell Klaus about it." Oliver said to Grey with a soft smile.

Grey hadn't given the Great Earth Essence Liquid to him yet, but he wasn't really too concerned about it. As long as the youngsters could protect themselves, then he was satisfied.

From Grey's performance back at Moon town's square, he could tell he didn't have an opponent in the Origin Plane. This meant that he could walk freely since Overlord Plane experts aren't as much as those in the Origin Plane.

"Hey bud, are you sure you don't need me with you?" Klaus asked.

"No, I feel we'd die if we were together," Grey shook his head with a smile.

"What's the meaning of that?" Klaus asked angrily.

"Simple, you're going to cause so much trouble that people would want us dead," Grey said with a deadpan expression.

"What do you mean to cause trouble? I've always been an upright person!" Klaus replied righteously.

Everyone turned to look at him with a surprised expression, even Delia was no exception. She had been traveling with the group now for months, and she had already tagged Klaus as a once-in-a-lifetime troublemaker. She didn't think there would be anyone else in this world who can annoy so many people simultaneously, and still be alive. Yet here Klaus was, defying all expectations.

"You really believe that?" Grey asked with a sneer.

"Nope, not really," Klaus shook his head.

His response threw the others into a fit of laughter. Klaus was so shameless about his personality that he didn't really care if he were annoying or fun, as long as he could do whatever he wanted, then he was fine.

He truly was having the best of his life. Of course, having so many enemies wasn't something people would brag about, except for Klaus.

While he was talking to Alice and Reynolds earlier, he told them about the number of people who had tried to kill him and failed.

Reynolds also jumped in, and the duo started recounting their encounters on how they were almost killed by people and survived. The surprising thing was how nonchalant and comedic it seemed to the duo.

Grey was sure they were the only two people who would find people almost killing them funny. They were clearly psychopaths, with Klaus being of a higher rank.

They had just enough sanity and self-awareness not to be regarded as mad people.

After speaking to Klaus a little longer, and getting a huge hug from him, Grey was once again forced to travel alone. Something he was still not accustomed to.

After Grey left.

"Crap! Dad, he forgot to give it to you!" Klaus suddenly said.

"It's okay. I didn't really want it," Oliver waved it off.

"Are you sure?" Klaus asked with a suspicious-looking smile.

Oliver wanted to answer the question, but looking at his son's face, he felt doing that would come back to haunt him. But since Grey really didn't hand the Great Earth Essence Liquid to him, there wasn't much he could do. So he nodded after a while.

"That means I can sell it then," Klaus spoke out after seeing his father nod.

Oliver almost tripped, falling face-first to the ground.

"What did you just say?" He asked, wide-eyed.

"Since you didn't want it, I can sell it, right?" Klaus said with a cheeky smile.

"Stop playing games boy," Oliver smacked him on the head.

Who in their right mind would sell something as precious as the Great Earth Essence Liquid? Well, his son doesn't seem to be in his right mind.

"Why would I play games? He gave it to me to hand it to you, but since you said you don't want it, I think I'll sell it. No, I'll find a girl and use it as a wedding gift. Such extravagance! I'll surely be regarded as the best husband in the history of the world!" Klaus said, clearly deep in thoughts.

Oliver's expression changed, he couldn't believe this little rascal who he called his son would play a trick on him. He obviously had the Great Earth Essence Liquid with him, yet he said Grey forgot to give it to him. Knowing that he wouldn't want them to go after Grey because of it, he would then say he didn't want it.

'Such a sly move, unfortunately, he has forgotten I am his father!' He thought inside.

"Where did you hear me say I don't want it?" Oliver looked at Klaus with a stoic expression.

"I clearly heard it!" Klaus argued.

"Blake," Oliver turned to Blake and Delia.

"Yes Teacher," Blake answered.

"Did you hear me say I didn't want it?" Oliver asked in a stern voice.

"No Teacher," Blake replied seriously.

Oliver nodded before turning to Delia, "And you?"

Just like Blake, Delia gave the same answer.

"You see, now hand it over," Oliver stretched out his hand in front of Klaus.

"This this this is cheating! You said it," Klaus continued arguing.

"Does that mean that out of everyone here, you're the only one who heard something different?" Oliver asked with a smile.

"But but" Klaus knew they were messing with him, but he couldn't do anything.

With no other option, he took out a small circular cloth from his chest region, placing it in his father's outstretched hand.

"I'm your father, boy, I've been playing these games before you were born." Oliver chuckled while studying the Great Earth Essence Liquid in his hand.
