Chapter 527 Does any one of you want to help him?  

?Leroy's head was spinning violently. He could not even make out what in the world happened because everything just unfolded too fast for his mind to grasp onto even a single thing.

He unconsciously wanted to crawl away from the agonizing hold on his leg, but before he could, his body was once again hurled upward before crashing painfully into the ground with a resounding thud that intensified the ringing in his ears.

Kyle mumbled a spell under his breath and controlled the wind around him to disperse the dust. He glanced at the two elves and the injured demi-human in the distance with a chilling smile.

"Does any one of you want to help him?"

The demi-human shook his head at him with an angry expression. He was already badly injured and wanted to witness at least one of the individuals who killed his companion die before his eyes.

On the other hand, the elves quickly retreated with horrified expressions. The duo had recently attained the initial stage of the transcendent rank, and after witnessing how effortlessly the silver-haired man defeated someone of a similar rank to them, they realized he was much stronger than they were.

No way, they wanted to get involved in this mess! They don't even know who Leroy is! Yes, they have no connection with the middle-aged man!

The pair swiftly shook their heads like the demi-human, but a chill ran down their spines when Kyle spoke up again, this time staring directly at them with eyes that glowed ominously for some reason.

"If you all don't want to join, then what the fuck are you doing here? Huh? Watching the show? Get out of here."

His words barely faded, and the two elves hastily scrambled toward the tunnel they came from to leave. Kyle's eyes narrowed sharply as he glanced at the demi-human who didn't move from his spot. A deep chuckle rumbled from his throat.

"What, didn't get my words? Need me to spell them out for you again?"

The demi-human opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw the silver-haired man stepping toward him, he gritted his teeth and also ran off towards the tunnel to leave the open area.

Kyle clicked his tongue with a scoff as he glanced at the man's fading figure. But a smile crept onto his lips as he moved next to the middle-aged man. Then he lifted his foot and firmly planted it on Leroy's uninjured leg to halt the man who was discreetly attempting to crawl towards the massive silver gate opposite them.

"Where do you think you are headed? I don't recall asking you to get lost as well."

Leroy clenched his fists, and another scream ripped from his throat when Kyle forcefully pressed his foot into his leg. His eyes contracted as the silver-haired man bent down in front of his face and roughly slapped his cheek a few times.

"Don't you dare pass out. I need to ask you some questions. If you tell the truth, we are good, but if you lie, I will break one of your..."

Kyle drawled his words as he scanned the man's bloodied body.

"... intact bones for each lie. I have a skill similar to a lie detector, you know?" He lied with a straight face, thinking if a skill that can detect lies truly exists? Well, even if it doesn't, it's not like the man who is right under his mercy would have the audacity to question.

Leroy stared at the silver-haired man with a pair of horrified eyes. How could the human he remembered who hadn't even stepped into the pseudo-divine rank come so far as to make him so miserable?

His mind did not help much either because it was too jumbled up from the events that happened in mere moments. Moreover, his whole body was screaming with pain. So, he simply nodded his head at Kyle while he secretly started searching inside his mind space to find an artifact or anything that could save him from this situation.

He swore he would forget about the revenge he desired against Odiak and go into hiding all his life if he made it through the day! Ultimately, his life held the utmost significance. If he couldn't even survive, what purpose would revenge serve...?

But his expression sank only after hearing Kyle's first question... Leroy's lips quivered, and agony was evident in his grey eyes as he stared at the silver-haired man with shock and disbelief. Kyle offered him a smile that failed to reach his eyes.

"Well, well, you seem to understand the situation you are in quite well. So, my first question is: Who are you, and what enmity do we both have between us?"

Leroy wanted to scream so badly to ask the human if he doesn't even know him, then why the heck did he beat him half dead!? His eyes blazed red with veins flaring around the white surface.

In that moment, his mind cleared up for a while. He finally pieced together everything that had happened now and in the past. If he remembers correctly, Kyle had never seen him before, right?

Sure, the human felt his presence when he was hiding in Istalian's shadow, but that was the only time Kyle sensed him! They never crossed paths again, so why was the silver-haired man so hell-bent on ending his life? Right, he remembered he left behind a resonite gem on the blue planet to proudly inform the survivors that he caused the ethereal tunnel explosion... but if Kyle had seen that recording, he wouldn't have asked the question he just did!

Still, he swallowed all his protests, and fear was evident on his face as the green eyes glaring down at him grew impatient.

He wanted to plead, but his words got stuck in his throat as Kyle grabbed his hair and forcefully slammed his face into the ground with a click of his tongue. Leroy coughed up blood, and his eyes began to roll as a deep voice echoed in his ears. "Do you expect me to wait around all day for a single answer?"
