These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 53: Favour

I broke that silence with a cough before saying, "I was just passing by and was lucky enough to help your daughter. It’s not that big of a deal."

"You think that the life of my daughter is worth so little?" Huo Fan Tian said in a heavy voice that made me take a step back.

This heavy voice sent a chill down my spine, but I forced myself not to take another step back when I heard this.

Iris came forward and said, "Dad, what did I say?"

Huo Fan Tian took back his aura when he heard this, but he still looked at me with narrowed eyes as if he wasn’t happy with what I said.

I gave another cough to calm myself down before saying, "That’s now what I meant at all. I was just saying that she is someone strong and she would have been fine even without my help."

Iris looked like she wanted to say something, but I raised a hand to stop her from saying what she wanted to say.

Huo Fan Tian narrowed his eyes once more when he heard this, but it didn’t seem like he had the same hostility as before.

A moment of tense silence lingered in the air before he said, "Alright, I understand what kind of person you are now."

His voice suddenly changed into a serious one as he asked, "What do you want in return? Since you’ve saved my daughter, it’s only natural that I give you something in return. Tell me what you want and if I can get it for you, I’ll get it for you."

It was my turn to slightly knit my brows when I heard this.

The way that he said it was as if he was accusing me of only helping Iris because I wanted something from her.

Later on, it could be said that I helped her because I wanted something from her.

But when I saved her, I wasn’t thinking that much.

So I was a bit insulted by him saying this.

Even if I was nothing compared to the World Summoner, the Overlord of Flames, Huo Fan Tian, I still at least had my pride to a certain extent.

"Thank you for inviting me here today. I promise that I won’t ever bother you again in the future." With a nod, I turned around to leave to the surprise of everyone else in the room.

If that was what they thought of me, it was better not to receive anything.

In the first place, my plan was to slowly build up my power and I was certain that I would be able to build up enough power with the special abilities of my familiars.

It was only a matter of time now.

"Stop." Before I could take more than a few steps, Huo Fan Tian spoke in a voice filled with power once more.

It pressed down on me, but I didn’t stop as I continued to leave.

Perhaps this might offend him, but he didn’t want me here in the first place.

So it wouldn’t matter later on if he didn’t want anything to do with me.

Seeing that I didn’t stop, Iris suddenly came forward and stood in front of me with her arms raised as if she wouldn’t move out of the way.

I shook my head before saying, "This is for the best."

Before I could do anything else, there was a cold voice that rang out.

"Alright, that’s enough of that. I think that you’ve postured enough as her dad, now you’re just making us look bad."

When this voice spoke, the tension in the room suddenly disappeared and everyone’s attention fell onto the one that spoke.

It was Iris’ mother who had been silently watching the entire time.

There were different expressions that people used to look at her, but the one that had the strongest expression came from Huo Fan Tian.

Though it didn’t seem like Alexandra cared at all that he looked at her like he had been betrayed.

Instead, she said, "Because of you, we’ve already come across as ungrateful people, so that’s enough out of you honey."

Huo Fan Tian really didn’t know what to say when he heard this.

So the only thing that he could do was close his mouth and sit there with a disappointed look.

Alexandra didn’t care as she turned to look at me.

I had turned around as well, so I could see that she was looking at me. It was just that I couldn’t see through the calm and collected expression on her face at all.

All of a sudden, she gave a slight bow of the head as she said, "Thank you for saving our daughter. I know that my husband has been rude, but I hope that you understand that this is just his way of showing concern for our daughter. I hope that you will not have the wrong impression of us."

I didn’t know how to feel about this when she said it with this kind of calm look on her face, but at the very least…I could hear her out.

Seeing that I wasn’t saying anything, Alexandra continued by saying, "Regardless of what happened, it is still a fact that you saved our daughter and we should repay you for this. That is why I want to give you something. There’s no need for you to name a price, you can just take this as a reward for helping our daughter."

She waved her hand and pulled out a piece of paper out of nowhere.

Then without another wave of her hand, that piece of paper floated over until it was just floating there in front of me.

I couldn’t read it since it had been turning while floating, but I could see what was on the very top of this piece of paper.

It was a seal that I was familiar with.

It was a seal that said ’Sacred’.

I knew that this was the seal of the Sacred Academy.
