Chapter 36 Misunderstanding
update icon Updated at 2025/6/26 3:10:12

As Caesar expected, Tia should have taken some time before she came back, at least a month, but he didn't expect Tia to return so soon.

Moreover, there were no traces of the guards, but instead, an unfamiliar person appeared.

After a few seconds, a terrible thought suddenly broke into his mind.

Could it be... that person kidnapped Tia?!

Thinking of this, Caesar's gaze at Green became fierce, and his aura couldn't help but leak out, causing the surrounding soldiers to feel the pressure from Caesar and start to panic.

Green also noticed the sudden burst of aura from Caesar and couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

"Tia, what's wrong with your old man?"

"Well, maybe he's just too excited... right?"

Tia didn't understand why this was happening either.

Green and Tia passed through the city gate and arrived in front of Caesar. Along the way, some soldiers naturally noticed the two, but after seeing Tia, they thought she had brought someone with her, so they didn't pay much attention.

On the other hand, Caesar stared at Green with hostility after the two landed.

"Who are you, kid? What are you doing with my daughter?"

Caesar had never seen Green's true face, so naturally, he became nervous. His eyes were fixed on Green, while also being cautious of Green's every move, and he secretly signaled Tia to come over.

Seeing Caesar's attitude, Tia instantly understood his intention.

However, Tia didn't explain her thoughts clearly. She also thought about how Caesar hadn't seen Green's true face yet, so a mischievous idea arose in her mind.

After all, it would be too unjust for Green, who was such a great god, not to show his skills properly.

So Tia's expression suddenly changed to nervous and frightened.

She suddenly made a painful expression and then fell to the ground, pretending to be in an agonizing state, saying, "Father... run... quickly..."

The next moment, Tia lay still on the ground, pretending to be dead.

"..."

Tia's sudden behavior left Green speechless. He seemed to hear the cawing of crows in his ears, but Caesar's aura quickly dispelled this feeling.

Green turned his head slightly, only to find that Caesar was enveloped in black aura. Actually, there was no visible change, but Green felt that Caesar was completely shrouded in the black mist.

That was a strong sense of killing intent.

Then, Green heard the voice filled with anger from Caesar.

"You bastard... what did you do to my daughter!!!"

With a roar, Caesar's aura exploded, which slightly surprised Green.

He knew that the Caesar Empire was the strongest nation on this continent and that Caesar himself was the strongest individual in this country, but he didn't expect Caesar to have such strength.

The aura that erupted in this instant, I'm afraid even Lilith wouldn't be able to handle it.

No, it should be said that she absolutely couldn't handle it.

Without any fancy moves, Caesar's fist, filled with rage, struck towards Green's face.

There was a sound of breaking through the air, along with the oppressive feeling crashing onto his face.

If this punch landed solidly, it would definitely kill a person on the spot.

But just as Caesar's fist was about to make contact with Green, Green sighed and slightly flashed his figure, easily avoiding Caesar's attack.

At the same time, Green looked at the playing-dead Tia on the ground and saw her smile mischievously at him.

He instantly understood Tia's intention.

It seemed she wanted to use him to test Caesar's strength...

Green had no objections to this.

However, the opponent was still Caesar's father, so Green didn't plan to use much strength. At first, he just continued to evade Caesar's attacks, and gradually began to counterattack. Caesar also went from being invincible to struggling to keep up with Green's attacks.

Next, Green's counterattack frequency became higher and higher, and Caesar also felt increasingly tricky. In this state, it was inevitable to reveal some flaws, and the body movements were not as smooth as before. But at the same time, Caesar also noticed that Green was hiding his true strength. The fact that Green could effortlessly handle his attacks proved that he had the ability to defeat him, but Green chose not to do so. This made Caesar feel underestimated by his enemy, and coupled with the inability to cause substantial damage to Green, he felt a faint sense of powerlessness.

But when he thought of Tia lying on the ground, an unnamed power surged in Caesar's heart, making him faster and faster, breaking through his previous limits time and time again.

"Don't underestimate people, kid!!!" Caesar's whole body flickered with black lightning, and his momentum began to skyrocket at the same time. Tia felt the change in Caesar's power and felt that something was not right. He seemed... really angry.

Seeing Caesar squander the energy surging within him, Green's interest was piqued. Humans as powerful as Caesar were rare in this world. Moreover, most of Caesar's moves were close combat techniques, which could cause substantial damage to his enemies compared to long-range elemental attacks. This was especially true when facing magic users with weak physical abilities—they were almost instantly defeated.

In this short minute of confrontation, Caesar also experienced Green's exceptional physical prowess. This strength was undoubtedly the strongest power he had ever encountered in his life. Therefore, facing Green like this, he decided to unleash his full power in the fight.

"Dare to lay a hand on my daughter, die!! You bastard!!!" Black lightning descended from the sky and struck Caesar's whole body, but he felt no discomfort at all. Instead, his body was filled with boundless energy, and the surrounding space was filled with dense magic at that moment.

Witnessing this situation, Tia felt a bit panicked. "Oops, it seems like this joke went too far..."

So Tia turned her gaze to Green, and when she saw that Green still looked calm and composed, she felt relieved. It was apparent that Green had confidence in the situation. This made her feel at ease, but at the same time, she felt guilty. She didn't expect Caesar to explode to such an extent for her sake. It was the first time Tia had seen Caesar so angry.

Green stood still, calmly watching Caesar basking in the black lightning. The opponent's aura kept increasing, turning him into a humanoid monster in this world. The nearby soldiers, after noticing this anomaly, were all horrified. "Caesar's Majesty's aura is so strong...!" "Looks like something really extraordinary is happening over there..."

After a few seconds, Caesar felt that the energy within him had reached its maximum level. Without any hesitation, he exerted tremendous force with his legs, causing the ground to shatter beneath this immense power. Like a bullet, Caesar shot out, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. "Die!!" Caesar shouted loudly, swinging a punch at Green with all his strength. However, an unexpected result occurred—he thought he could at least seriously injure Green or even defeat him with this punch, but it was blocked by just one finger!

"This..." Caesar's pupils suddenly shrank, and he fell silent, unable to speak. It was as if something was choking his throat, and he even felt a sense of suffocation at this moment.

"Old man, your strength is not bad, but you still need to train harder," Green said casually, then gently flicked Caesar's forehead with his finger. Instantly, all the power in Caesar's body disappeared without a trace. Soon after, his eyes rolled back, and his body fell straight to the ground.

Seeing Caesar lying on the ground, Tia quickly ran over, anxiously looking at Green. "Um... Is my father okay?"

"Don't worry, I controlled the force well." As Green said this, he felt a bit guilty. In fact, he did not intend to knock Caesar unconscious. As far as the result was concerned, he exerted too much force and could only hope that Caesar would be fine.

Although he was thinking this way in his mind, Green would not show any signs of guilt on the surface.

"Forget about that for now, why did you pretend to be dead all of a sudden? At least discuss it with me beforehand."

After confirming that her father was still alive, Tia lowered her head guiltily upon hearing Green's words.

"I originally wanted Father to be a little less stubborn, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

"I can tell that your father is very worried about you."

"Yeah..."

Looking around, Green didn't see anyone rushing to the scene yet, but he sensed someone approaching, so he pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's carry your father into the room to rest first."

"Okay."

During Caesar's coma, he had a dream.

He dreamt that Tia was kidnapped and kept calling out for help, while he was helplessly being trodden upon and humiliated by the other party, without any strength to resist.

In the end, he was brutally beaten by the other party, while Tia gradually moved further away from him amidst their laughter.

It was a nightmare within a nightmare, so Caesar immediately woke up from the dream.

The first thing he saw upon waking up was Tia beside him, which instantly calmed his heart. But then he noticed Green, and after a momentary brain freeze, he instantly remembered what had happened before he lost consciousness.

"You—cough, cough...!"

Caesar was about to shout loudly, but ended up coughing violently, accompanied by a strong sense of fatigue in his body.

At this moment, Green's voice entered his ears.

"You exerted yourself too much just now, so take a rest. Also, I'm not a bad person, so it's best not to misunderstand."

When saying the second half of the sentence, Green's tone seemed somewhat helpless.

Caesar also noticed Tia's complexion and realized that something seemed off with her. His gaze shifted between the two of them before finally showing a look of realization.

"I see..."

Caesar lay down and let out a long breath.

"Have you completely surrendered to this person in order to save me, Tia?"

"Yeah... Wait, no! It's not like that!!"
