Chapter 1048: Want to act? It’s too late!
All of us were caught off guard by this voice suddenly booming through the air.
Even the other giants were surprised to hear this voice, though the looks on their faces showed that they were surprised by the words and not the voice itself. It seemed like they recognized this voice and knew who was speaking.
When we turned to look in the direction that the voice came from, there was a giant that was larger than the other giants with a white beard standing there.
This was a giant that stood at twenty five meters tall, five meters taller than the usual twenty meters that giants were.
With his height and his muscles, it was clear that he was a powerful warrior.
Though with his white beard, it also showed that the passage of time was not kind to him.
With how everyone looked at him, it was clear that this person held a high position in the Vale Tribe. With the way that his prestige hung on him and how everyone respected him, there was only one identity that this person could have.
He was the chief of the Vale Tribe and Isra's father.
That meant that the words that he said just now...were most likely for me.
After a moment of silence, I could even see the chief of the Vale Tribe turning to look at me.
He just ignored the rest of the humans sitting on the backs of the wyverns and turned his gaze to look at me.
I was wondering how he recognized me, but then I figured it out by the way that he looked at
me.
As the father of Isra, he naturally knew what kind of preference his daughter had in men. Comparing me to the others in my party was definitely not a comparison since my appearance was far beyond what the others could match to.
So it was easy to pick me out in this crowd of humans, especially since humans and giants had the same sense of aesthetics.
It didn't take long for the other humans to realize this as well and there were bitter smiles that appeared on their faces.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Even if they weren't as handsome as me, they couldn't be considered that bad either.
So it felt strange for them to be completely ignored like this.
But they swallowed these feelings as they turned to look at me.
Everyone slowly turned to look at me as if they were waiting for my response.
However, I wasn't the one that responded in the end.
With the silence that persisted, it became more and more awkward until a certain person couldn't take it anymore. This person was the one that broke the awkward silence in the end.
"What do you think you're doing?" That person said in a cold voice.
When the chief of the Vale Tribe heard this, he was a bit caught off guard since he didn't think that this person would be the one that spoke.
After a moment of awkwardly opening and closing his mouth, he said, "I was just trying to look out for you, my baby girl. I don't want you to be bullied by anyone."
"Humph, you want to act like a parent now? It's too late for that!" Isra said with a snort before turning her head away.
I was certainly surprised by the way that she treated her own father.
I thought that the relationship between the two of them was good based on the way that she had talked about him before, but now it seemed like it wasn't that good...
"It's not what you think."
I was surprised to hear this whisper coming from beside me.
When I looked over at him, I saw that Alidus wasn't even looking at me as his eyes were on the two of them.
There was a bitter smile that appeared on the chief's face as he said, "Baby girl, what do you mean by pretending? I'm your father, there's nothing to pretend."
Isra suddenly turned back to shake her head before saying, "You've already said that I can be with whoever I want, you can't take that back now. I've already decided on what I want, so you can't act like a parent now and oppose it."
The bitterness grew on the face of the chief as he said, "No matter what, I still have to take care of you."
It seemed that this wasn't an actual fight, but rather an argument between daughter and father.
This even showed how close the two of them were since one couldn't have this kind of argument unless they were close to each other.
The two of them continued to argue without a care, as if they didn't even notice that we were here. It seemed that the two of them wouldn't stop arguing unless they settled this matter.
But before they could go too far, there was someone that stopped them.
"What do you think you're doing in front of the guests?"
There was a female voice that didn't lose out to Isra's that suddenly cut through their arguing.
Though it was soft, the moment that it rang out, both the chief and Isra stopped arguing.
The two of them looked away with awkward and guilty expressions, but they didn't say anything to defend themselves.
Seeing this, the one that spoke shook her head before turning to me to say with a smile, "Welcome to our Vale Tribe. How about we go and sit down first before we start talking?"
I gave a nod in response without even asking who she was.
The person that could reign in both the chief of the Vale Tribe and Isra was no doubt someone special.
But just looking at her made it clear who she was.
That was because she was an older version of Isra, but she wasn't old enough to look like her mother. She looked more like an older sister than a mother.
Still, there was no doubt that she was Isra's mother and the wife of the chief with the way that they feared her.
