46 Kyros

Chapter 46 Tulu

As a king, his strength could be considered acceptable, but he was nothing special in the sea.

He walked to Giotto's side and carefully assessed the young man in front of him. He felt a familiar feeling, but he could not remember where he had seen him.

"Nothing in particular. I just don't want to see a talented person like Kyros cut himself off from the world. I was hoping to take him to see the world outside so that he can properly enjoy his future."

Giotto said what was in his mind, but he also felt mixed feelings when he did.

"If you can do it, then give it a try. I also want him to live his own life, I don't want him to be a Gladiator who chained himself to this place. So, if you can do it, you have my thanks. Guard, take him to Kyros!"

It was clearly just the first time they met, but King Riku felt that he could believe this young man in front of him. Even he himself could not explain why he could trust a complete stranger like Giotto.

After nodding at King Riku, Giotto took a step forward and followed the guard.

Suddenly, the King asked, "Young man, what is your name?"

"Vongola Giotto."

After a simple response, Giotto disappeared from the sight of the King with the guards.

At this moment, King Riku was trying to recall that name. It was very familiar, but where had he seen this name before?

Orange hair, dressed like a noble, black cloak...

Vongola Giotto...

"Ah!"

A cry of surprise instantly erupted from King Riku. He stared into thin air with widened eyes, jaws wide open, because he finally remembered where he had seen that young man!

"Your Majesty, King Riku, is there a problem with that young man's name?" The guard at the side was puzzled.

It was the first time he had seen his King so shocked. Even when he was struck on the head by Kyros, his King was still unfazed.

Now, he got really surprised just after hearing a name!

Could it be that the young man was the illegitimate child of His Majesty?

However, if that were true, their kingdom would have a successor, which was a good thing.

While the guard was busy imagining things, King Riku immediately waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and bring me the wanted poster from the Navy... Vongola Giotto, he turns out to be... Did you see this young man on the wanted poster? A young man with a 970,000,000 Belly bounty came here like it's nothing!

However, judging from their brief interaction just now, King Riku didn't think that Giotto was a bad guy. On the contrary, he seemed like a good person.

But nevertheless, a person who had such a high bounty definitely could not be ignored!

A guy with a bounty of one billion Belly like him might be able to destroy Dressrosa on his own!

In the arena, Giotto soon saw the fierce-looking guy. He could feel an intimidating aura from him.

Did he get this strong just by relying on his talent and through countless fights in the arena?

There was no doubt that Kyros's potential was truly great. His physical prowess and reaction speed were far beyond ordinary people's. With just his instinctive reaction, he obtained more than two thousand victories in the arena. It was said that he would achieve his three thousand consecutive victories soon.

"I have never heard of anyone else coming to me besides King Riku." Kyros looked up. He had been cooped up in the Colosseum without a care about the news outside, so he naturally did not know Giotto.

"Is it fun to lock yourself in a cage?"

Giotto did not care about Kyros. He just sat on the ground outside the cage and clung to the iron railing. "You still think you are a mere beast that must be put in the cage? A murderer who has no place outside?"

"What do you know?"

Getting hit on his sore spot, Kyros immediately roared, "My hands are covered in blood. No matter where I go, I am a wild beast that only knows how to kill! From that day on, that's the only way I can live. This is a fact that can not be changed no matter what."

After roaring, he seemed to have lost all the strength he had. The legendary gladiator who had never lost in the Colosseum slumped to the ground, staring at his hands in a daze as if he could still see the blood that he could not wash.

"Beast?"

Giotto turned his head, and his calm gaze fell on Kyros. "Why did you commit murder, Kyros? It was because those thugs killed your dear friend with numbers, so you picked up your weapon to take revenge. If I remember correctly, this was what you used to believe back then."

"And what exactly are you trying to say here, bastard! Are you trying to humiliate me by uncovering my dark past?"

Kyros grabbed the cage with both hands. His body trembled, not because of anger but because of regret.

He regretted what he had done in the past. He shouted in his heart, "If only people could forget me."

"I have no interest in humiliating you. As for the reason why I came here, it is because I acknowledge you."

Giotto slowly stood up and extended his hand to Kyros in the cage. " What's the point of enclosing your life in this cage called Colosseum for so long? Rather than regretting your past, why don't you choose to wield your sword? The world outside is very wonderful. Your life should not end here. So, forgive yourself, set yourself free!"

"Do you... acknowledge me?" Kyros raised his head and looked at Giotto, his voice was trembling a little.

After so many years, this was the first time someone acknowledged him. There was actually someone who would acknowledge him.

"Yes, I acknowledge you. So, do you want to be my Family, Kyros?".
