Hidden Threat

"What?"

Allen turned his head and looked at the chief with a stunned expression written within his handsome face. The chief noticed his expression as his expression suddenly switched into shock.

"Don't tell me.. You're not aware of it?"

The chief felt the whole matter unbelievable as he stared at Allen. No matter how he looked at it, Allen seemed to be young man with an estimated age of 16 years old. Someone of that age should be already aware of such fact about himself.

"It's okay, young man."

The chief approached Allen as he patted his shoulders in sympathy while sighing. Allen looked at the chief with a strange expression. If the chief saw Allen's expression right now, he would surely wouldn't be able to control himself as Allen's expression seemed to tell, "are you an idiot?". Thankfully, Allen quickly retracted his expression as he smiled wryly.

"Forget it, chief.. Please tour me around!"

"But, of course!"

...

Somewhere within the vast expanse of Primal Universe, an old man can be seen sitting in a lotus position, he seemed to be cultivating some kind of technique as the space around him would shudder from time to time.

Suddenly, the old man trembled in agitation as he involuntarily opened his eyes.

"Someone just used the Eternal Heaven Pearl!"

He stood up from the floor as he vanished from the room and appeared at the top of a mountain. He seemed ordinary while walking but.. the people around him would bow at the sight of him. He seemed to be an important person!

After walking for awhile, he caught the sight of a tower, seemingly taller than heavens. He vanished from outside and reappeared within a room. Within that room, different figures are talking with each other while laughing. The people soon noticed the old man as they all gape in surprise and shock.

"Realm King!"

The people stood up as they bowed towards the old man whom just waved his hand, indicating them to sit. He slowly approached the window and opened it whilst the people, all stared at him without blinking, afraid of missing something that the respected realm king might do.

"Gu Yan.."

"Yes, my lord!"

A middle-aged man wearing a couple of azure-dragon robes stood up as he bowed towards the old man looking outside of the tower. The old man who looked benevolent and ordinary suddenly changed! He suddenly emanated a terrifying aura that made the people around the room feel suffocated. He emitted the aura of a ruler.

"Lead some people and immediately head towards the planet located at ####,####"

"Yes, my lord!"

At first, Gu Yan looked stunned because of the realm king's words but soon recovered his normal demeanor. He did not even questioned the order of the old man as he bowed towards the old man once again. He vanished from the place as he did the required preparations.

"Are you guys confused?"

The old man suddenly spoke as the people within the room picked their ears up and listened quietly. He now seemed like an ordinary mortal anymore, not emitting a terrifying aura. The people around him nodded.

"I detected the Eternal Heaven Pearl being used.."

"What?"

"!!"

The people around him looked shocked as their face changed into one with severity and seriousness. The old man seemed to notice their expression with his back facing them.

"I will send a couple of Divine Master practitioner towards the planet. If possible, I would like to avoid any fight and just settle this quietly. However, that is near impossible as the other realm kings surely sensed the Eternal Heaven Pearl being used.."

"How can this be?"

The people around him murmured as they all unconsciously released a bit of their aura which covered the whole realm and made the people within shut their mouths up. The old man who is looking outside of the room suddenly turned around as his face showed seriousness.

"There will be a bloodbath.."

...

Allen, the source of all of this calamity that would soon descend towards this planet, is completely unaware of the hidden threat that is slowly approaching. It was slow but the moment it moved, there will be countless people that would fall!

Going back to the Allen's current situation, he's currently facing a food stand together with the chief. He looked at the food being cooked within the stand as his mouth released a bunch of saliva. Seeing this, the chief can't help but laugh at Allen's behavior as he signaled the vendor to give them two servings.

"Thank you, chief!"

Allen noticed him as he turned around and expressed his utmost gratitude towards the middle-aged man beside him whom just nodded at his gratitude. Even the chief, who smelled the aroma of the food can't help but gulp as he also focused on the food being cooked, just like Allen.

After a while of waiting, they finally saw the vendor picking up the bunch of foods over. Their gaze did not even left the food even a single second as they focused on the food, ignoring the surroundings. Neither did they know, a woman is currently looking at them or rather at the chief with an annoyed look.

"H-here it is, sirs.."

The vendor seemed nervous as he would look at the woman behind the pair of young and old man before him. The both, who is completely absorbed at focusing towards the food didn't noticed the tremor within the voice of the young man.

They quickly snatched the food from the hands of the vendor as they stared at the food before them. They can't help but sniff the aroma coming from the food. Allen gulped as he took a bite of the food, the same with the chief.

"Delicious!"

"Mmm.. Yummy!"

They both expressed their satisfaction while the vendor puffed up his chest as his eyes emanated his expression that seemed to be telling the onlookers, "I cooked that!".

After, eating the food and licking them out of the stick. They both looked at each other and snickered as they proceeded towards the next food stand.

Allen soon found himself facing a new food stand once again. He soon noticed the chief beside him going missing as he looked around. He saw the chief being dragged by a woman.

He looked at the chief with a stunned look as he noticed the chief's mouth, seemingly telling him something.

"Something came up.. Let's meet again, young man!"

"..."

Allen looked at the chief as he vanished out of his sight. He turned around and saw the food stand selling foods. He noticed the price of the foods which made him felt a bit helpless. After all, he's not the one who paid for the food a while ago but.. the chief treated him!

He sighed in helplessness as he muttered something in a low voice. Fortunately, someone did not hear him as the thing he said is:

"Time to steal some money.."
