Overwhelmed By An Old Man

"Do I look like someone who tells jokes?" Grey asked with a serious expression. 

Even if this old man was in the Peak of the Sage Plane, Grey didn't feel he would lose out against him, at most, it'll be a tie. He knew not to underestimate this old man since the old man must've been at the Peak of the Sage Plane for years now and his strength would not be the same as those at the Peak of the Sage Plane. But he didn't worry too much about the man. 

"Kid, I'll give you this chance, walk away now, and let you leave peacefully." The old man said slowly, standing up from his sitting position. 

It was evident that he was no longer playing around. 

"I can't do that. I need the fruit." Grey replied, staring into the eyes of the old man, after waiting for some time, he added, "However, if you have anything that might help his damaged consciousness, then I wouldn't mind trading for it. If not, I'll have no choice but to take the fruit."
