Jiang Fei smiled. “Hehe, hello Sir! We meet again. I had no time to say hello to you the last time, my apologies for being rude.”
“F*ck that! I’d rather not see the both of you ever again!”
Aino rubbed his temples. Theon had clearly stated that Jiang Fei was his apprentice in the message he left in the vault. Aino couldn’t care less that Theon had taken in an apprentice, he just hated how he would be stealing double the original amount from now on!
Sarila was in total shock. “Ah Fei, you know him?”
“I’ve only met him once,” replied Jiang Fei, still smiling.
“Once?”
Sarila’s brows furrowed. What was going on? If they had only met once before, why was Aino looking at Jiang Fei like that? Although Aino did not look afraid, the frown on his face clearly showed that he was feeling anxious.
As Aino was a high-ranking influential figure, he had long ago mastered how to maintain a poker face. He did not easily lose his composure. However, whenever Theon the Plunderer was brought up, none of the high-ranking members of the Valsalrian Army could keep their cool.
“Okay, cut the nonsense. What are you doing here?” asked Aino.
He reigned in his emotions and tried not to look at Jiang Fei. Looking at Jiang Fei reminded him of Theon, and whenever he thought of Theon, his heart would scrunch in sheer pain.
“Grandpa, he was holding me hostage! That’s blatant rebellion! You must punish him severely!”
As soon as Jiang Fei released him, Trakus ran straight to Aino and started to make a fuss. He clearly hated Jiang Fei to the core.
Originally, Trakus regarded Jiang Fei as a love rival, which was already enough to make Trakus hate him. However, Trakus had a good upbringing. Although he was very pampered, he would never try to bring his rival down through despicable means.
But being held hostage in front of so many people, including his subordinates, made Trakus feel extremely embarrassed, and it pissed him off. At first, he had only slightly hated Jiang Fei, but now, he could not wait to torture and skin the Terran alive!
Aino dismissed Trakus with a wave. “Okay, move aside and wait.”
For once, he did not immediately grant the wish of his precious grandson like he usually did.
Instead, he turned around and addressed Jiang Fei, “Why aren’t you with Theon? You’re not supposed to be here. Just hang around for a bit while I get someone to send you back!”
Honestly speaking, Aino did not want Jiang Fei to get involved in this. For the sake of his treasures, he did not want to have anything to do with Theon at all, and he especially did not want to offend the master thief. If Theon started to target him, his days would be dark.
Jiang Fei shook his head. “That won’t do. I’m with them.”
If all Jiang Fei wanted was to save himself, it would be too easy. He had such a powerful master who could get him out of much worse situations than this. Even if he made a hole in the sky, Theon could easily help him.
“Know your place. I’m already doing Theon a huge favor by not punishing you. Don’t push your luck!” said Aino.
After all, he did not know how powerful Theon truly was. Although the high-ranking members of the Valsalrian Army tried their best to avoid getting involved with Theon, they were not that afraid of him.
