Aberardus turned back toward Ryu with a smile. But, his face fell when he saw that Ryu continued without any intention of turning back.
'This damned brat!'
Without asking Ryu for his opinion, Aberardus' hand reached out and a suction force pulled Ryu toward him. Then, he flashed inside, not giving Ryu a chance to do or say anything.
Ryu felt himself being yanked back, but let alone the fact he was heavily injured, even if he was in peak condition, there was nothing he could do to fight back against the strength of a World Sea Realm expert, at least not with any normal means, and definitely not when the two were so close together.
Toward this series of events, Ryu could only be speechless. Why was this Aberardus so eager to use a favor of his? This was still the favor of a Sky God after all, it was endlessly valuable. He could only chalk it up to the old man being a bit eccentric.
