"I came to see you because I wanted to ask what Universe 7's Mortal Level Index has reached now."
With a wave of his hand, Gran took out a tea table set from Dimensional Space.
He sat down in a chair and poured Merus a cup of tea.
"So that was what you wanted to ask."
Merus lifted the teacup, took a sip, and asked curiously, "But my brother is your Master. Why didn't you ask him?"
