Kanaria and Hana were stunned. How could Clovis overpower Christina? The latter should have been using all her strength, so it didn't make sense.
Surprisingly, the one who first reacted was not Clovis or Christina. It was Lues.
He seed to have been watching the battle from afar so as not to disturb them. But as a guardian who had dealt with a lot of opponents, he could discern the change in Clovis' mind. It was as if he wasn't Clovis anymore.
That was why he planned to put a stop to this battle.
Even more surprising was the fact that Jeremy suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing his arm.
"Let go!" Lues gritted his teeth.
Jeremy shook his head. "It's for their sake."
"What do you an? Do you know sothing about this? It doesn't seem like his girlfriend or your granddaughter is aware of this matter. Why does he suddenly change?"
"I will tell you about what that old madman told about his unique ability. But there's sothing I want you to promise. Let them be."
Lues frowned. "What did you say?"
"Why do you think you ca here? It's not to et Clovis or us, right? It's because you're instructed to et all three of us."
"!!!" Lues' body shook. That clue made him realize everything had been prearranged, including this spar.
No, it was more like the two Tier 9 humans had co to an agreent about sothing and Jeremy knew about it.
After thinking for a mont, Lues recalled all the strength he put into his body, showing Jeremy he would go with his arrangent.
Jeremy smiled and took a step back. He glanced at Clovis with a sad expression. "Do you know what his unique ability is?"
"Sothing like physical ability strengthening. There's a huge gap when it's active and not, so it's quite apparent. However, I don't think that's all, considering his team is also growing exponentially."
Jeremy raised a finger. "In the past, there was soone who was called a mad kid. When soone bullied him, he fought back to the point where he broke the nose of that bully."
"Hmm? Clovis?" Lues frowned.
Jeremy smiled and continued, "When the apocalypse happened, that mad kid unleashed everything he had and beca the one dominating the entire area.
"He fought, fought, and fought. Even when his entire body was covered with blood, he still fought.
"Eventually, he beca a person feared by the whole world. Anyone who wanted to pick a fight against him would be in trouble."
"!!!" Lues gasped, realizing who he was talking about. "Michael Hacfield!"
Jeremy nodded. "Later, he said that whenever he fought, he would feel a surge of strength. That was why he could continue fighting. The more he was injured, the stronger he beca.
"That was also when he t a woman. Unlike him, the woman was calm and collected. Every ti he looked angry, she would be there and soothe him. No matter how mad he was or how bloodthirsty he was, he couldn't lift his hand against her.
"They thought it would be the end of it, until their grandson was born. When he was born, the first thing that child released was… killing intent."
"!!!" Lues gasped and grabbed Jeremy's shoulder. "Are you saying that kid has activated his unique ability since birth? And killing intent… Who did he want to kill?"
"No one? Or probably everyone? After seeing how the young kid murdered a chicken in such a cold-blooded manner, the grandfather chose to seal that kid's ability by teaching him how to fight. If the kid was able to fight and had no need for that ability, it might be suppressed completely in the future.
"Unfortunately, he couldn't be more wrong about it. The kid ended up utilizing that ability, but in a suppressed manner due to the training he had done so far."
Lues shuddered in fear. "Suppressed? Are you saying that kind of overwhelming strength is suppressed?"
He couldn't imagine what kind of strength Clovis would possess if he unleashed everything.
"Not long ago, his grandfather ended up finding a certain guy fighting against his enemy. Due to the feud between them, the grandfather thought, 'Would it be good to have them as an ally and let their grandchildren et?'"
Lues looked down, falling into deep thought. Why would Michael want them to et? After listening to the story, she noticed so similarity between Clovis and Michael as well as Christina with his grandmother.
In that instant, he understood the reason why his father wanted them to attend this banquet. It was so that both of them could et.
Michael believed that Christina had the strength to contain Clovis. If he could get used to it and get full control over the full potential of his unique ability, Clovis would definitely stand at the peak. Nothing would bring more joy to Michael than seeing his son safe from this power.
On the other hand, Ezekiel saw this as an opportunity. Since they had the sa enemy, they should join hands. And if Christina was able to help Clovis unleash his full potential, the Elseingarde would have a strong ally in the future. That ally even had a monstrous group.
'So that's the reason…' Lues frowned. "This joint training… Is it your idea? You're planning to have this joint training because it will allow Clovis and Christina to keep having a spar."
"It's Hana's idea. I would have suggested it if Hana hadn't suggested it first, though. That's why we should leave them alone. Let the youngsters settle it themselves and grow stronger together. Who knows? Maybe with his influence, he can actually make her much stronger like his companions? At the very least, that's the secret that not even his grandfather knows about." Jeremy shrugged.
Lues glanced to the side, finding his daughter pinning Clovis on the ground with her shield as if trying to suppress his bloodthirsty nature.
As Jeremy said, his daughter might have the strength to do it. Lues lowered his head, falling into deep thought. "I will have to go back to my family. I will leave Christina to you. Make sure nothing goes wrong."
Jeremy smirked. "You can leave it to ."
