All Heavens: Starting with the Predator, I'm No Longer Human

Outside the Elders' Room, Reina had finally regained some strength, going from completely relying on Chu Cige to now only able to hold onto his arms for support.

"Is the elder busy?"

Reina straightened her clothes and said to the guard at the gate.

Guard: "The elder has already given instructions that if Miss Reina returns, she can go directly in to see it."

"Okay, open the door!"

The hatch opened.

Reina led Chu Cige inside.

Although this wasn't his first time meeting the elder, he felt much more nervous than the previous two times, and even his heart was beating faster.

This is probably the psychological effect of having tricked someone's granddaughter into your hands!

Wait a minute! Something's not right!

It wasn't my initiative, so what am I afraid of?

I'm the one who's being passive! Why should I feel guilty?

Chu Cige thought for a moment, and her confidence immediately returned. She walked in with her head held high and chest puffed out.

Reina, standing to the side, was completely baffled. Just a moment ago, she looked guilty and nervous, but in no time, she had become completely indifferent.

She could even vaguely see a hint of pride in Chu Cige's expression, though she didn't know what he was proud of.

Unable to fathom his thoughts, Reina shook her head with amusement. This iron-blooded man had clearly scrutinized her from head to toe the first time they met.

When she asked him if he wanted to be her partner, he rejected her again, looking completely bewildered.

In Reina's view, not agreeing is a clear refusal.

The second encounter was beyond her expectations.

She had only intended to approach him under the guise of an elder's mission, but she never expected to be looked down upon.

Wanting to prove she wasn't just a pretty face, she proposed a match to test her skills.

Her initial intention was to show herself in front of him, but he ended up training her in combat skills. As a result, they exchanged pheromones, and she made a fool of herself in front of him.

That pheromone interaction not only confirmed that Rena's judgment was correct—that she hadn't impulsively decided on him based on his physical data—but also made the same choice in her genes.

In the perfect resonance of body and soul last night, she was completely captivated and transformed into Chu Cige's image.

Thinking of this, Reina couldn't help but squeeze her legs together and rub against him.

"You've arrived!"

The elder's deep voice interrupted Reina's memories. She quickly suppressed the ripples in her heart and loosened her arms from holding Chu Cige.

"Grandpa!" Reina called out, bowing her head.

"Um!"

Seeing that Chu Cige remained motionless for a long time, Reina nudged him with her elbow.

"Elder!"

Chu Cige really didn't know what to call him. He couldn't bring himself to call him Grandpa, and as for Elder, his relationship with Reina was too distant.

After hesitating for a moment, he still called out to the elder.

"Um!"

His voice betrayed no emotion, just as it had when replying to Reina – his tone was completely flat and indifferent.

Chu Cige couldn't understand what the elder was thinking for a moment.

After all, according to his own human thinking, what if his only granddaughter were suddenly kidnapped by a blond guy he'd only met once or twice?

He absolutely couldn't stand the fact that she would come to see him after taking advantage of him.

We have to teach that kid a lesson.

Although I agreed to the relationship and was mentally prepared.

The granddaughter loves it very much.

But that's not the same thing. Acknowledging and being mentally prepared doesn't mean you'll let the blond guy go.

"Grandpa, why did you send us here? Didn't Mad Dog report the mission to you? Chu and I have other things to do, we don't have time to listen to your long-winded explanation."

Awesome!!!

Chu Cige thought to himself, "Ruina is awesome!"

As expected, those who are favored are fearless, and she actually spoke to her grandfather like that, which broadened his horizons.

"..."

The elders' room was quiet for a while.

"I'm not looking for you. I need to talk to Scarface. You can leave now."

The elder's tone changed for the first time, and even his face darkened, but he still patiently explained.

Reina pressed for details: "What do you want with him? He's just an ordinary tribal warrior now. What makes him so special that you, as an elder of the tribe, would want to see him?"

The elder, with a long face, asked, "Is he ordinary?"

It pointed at Chu Cige, who was standing quietly to the side, and laughed angrily, "He bathed in the Queen's blood to complete his coming-of-age ceremony, won your heart during his mission, and even took the final step. Is that what you call ordinary?"

"I don't think he's ordinary at all. He's incredibly powerful! Even I, an elder, can't compare to him. Who else has the guts to take advantage of you after only meeting you twice?"

The elder's hand trembled slightly as he pointed at Chu Cige, and his voice was much louder than before.

Reina, who had been spoiled by it since childhood, naturally knew how to deal with it. She stepped forward, grabbed its hand, and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa, how could you say that? What do you mean by 'taking advantage of someone and then washing them clean'? That's too awful."

Chu Cige stood to the side, keeping his eyes down and not daring to say a word. He looked around and thought that the elder's life wasn't very good.

It's just like where I live, except the rooms are a bit bigger and there's a meeting room outside. There's no other difference!

It's still just a bed, a table, a few chairs, a wardrobe, and a display wall with different faceplates hanging on it...

"Hmph!" A heavy, muffled snort escaped his lips, clearly expressing the grandfather's displeasure.

"Grandpa, didn't you promise him back then? Why are you going back on your word now? Isn't he also the Predator you valued?"

"You said it yourself, he hunted down the Queen during his coming-of-age ceremony, achieving the same feat as Grandpa did back then. You even bestowed upon him the nano-armor. Isn't this grooming him as your grandson-in-law? Why are you so concerned?"

Reina brought up what they had agreed on beforehand and listed the merits of the Chu Ci song, as well as the fact that it was hypocritical.

"Alright, alright!"

The elder waved his hand, his head aching from his granddaughter's antics, and quickly changed the subject.

"You go back and rest first. I have important matters to discuss with Scarface."

It was afraid that if it kept its granddaughter there, it would prevent itself from disciplining the brat.

"Then I'll go back to my room to rest first, Grandpa, please don't make things difficult for him."

Seeing its serious expression, Reina knew it really had something important to say, so she didn't press the matter further.

"Chu, remember to come find me after you get out. You know the room."

Before leaving, Reina seemed to whisper something in his ear, but she underestimated his ears.

Her whispers were heard clearly.

Done! ! !

Don't make things worse!

Chu Cige wanted to stop her, but it was too late. He looked at the elder opposite him, who had completely turned evil, and could only beg the elder to go easy on him.

I watched Reina leave the room.

He knew the real test had begun.

"I heard from Lone Wolf that you're very skilled with your spear, and it's your most proficient weapon. I happen to know a little bit about spear techniques myself, so I'd like to have a friendly spar with you."

Don't give him a chance to refuse, nor do you assume he will refuse.

"Follow me!"

The elder pressed a button on the wall next to the display shelf, and a hidden door opened.

Looking inside, Chu Cige saw a secret room about the size of a basketball court, filled with various equipment, weapons, and collectibles.

He glanced around and saw several empress skulls and spines placed in prominent positions, as well as the skulls of some unknown creatures, neatly arranged. He even saw the head of an Ironblood.

However, what surprised Chu Cige the most was the enormous skull of an unknown creature, which was placed right across from the door.

He never expected that the elder's collection would contain such a large creature. The head he saw was as tall as him. He didn't even dare to imagine how big it was.

Even such a creature was hunted down by the elders, who removed its skull and treasured it.

It's easy to imagine how powerful the elder was.
