The Grandfather looked between his ferocious granddaughter and then Ace, who was hiding behind him, with a pitiful expression on his face. He had never imagined that this trip to persuade his stubborn granddaughter would take such a dramatic turn.
Furthermore, he found it quite amusing since it was his first time seeing his as stubborn as a mule of a granddaughter this frustrated, which was normally his role, and he felt great!
So, whether Ace was telling the truth or not, he had an excellent impression of this courageous young man who dared to tease his granddaughter and wasn't afraid of unleashing hell upon himself.
That's why the moment Zaria acted to grab Ace, he cleared his throat, and an invisible pressure suddenly enveloped Ace. Zaria's claw-like palm was inches away from Ace in the air before it was stuck.
