His aura was strong, and his eyes always held a sharp glint, typical of someone who had always been in a position of power. He also had a wild appearance, which made most people subconsciously avoid his gaze.

When faced with such a person, Rudeus would instinctively retreat. He was afraid of strong personalities. Especially someone as difficult to provoke and as short-tempered as him.

Roa ignored the brat. His eyes were fixed on the other person. Rudeus might be afraid, but Roa wasn't. Sholoss Boreas Greyrat, Eris's grandfather and the lord of Fittoa. He was a bold, uninhibited man. Eris was influenced by him and wanted to become a second Sholoss. Eris's unreasonable and domineering personality was also a result of his doting.

Roa didn't stare at him for too long. After a few seconds, he averted his gaze. He was here to be a tutor, not to pick a fight. He performed a noble bow and slowly spoke, "Hello, my name is Roa Greyrat. I am Paul's son."

Sholoss was surprised. He said bluntly, "How could Paul have such a sissy child?"

Hearing this, Roa's mouth twitched, and he glared at Sholoss with displeasure. Rudeus, knowing Roa's personality well, quickly grabbed him. Rudeus knew Roa cared most about his appearance. If anyone dared to mock Roa's looks, they'd be beaten so badly they couldn't get out of bed the next day.

Rudeus quickly spoke up, "Hello, my name is Rudeus Greyrat. You can call me Rudeus."

Sholoss nodded and pointed at Rudeus, "This is how a boy from our family should look. As for you, Roa, hmph."

Rudeus felt Roa's arm tightening and thought, This is bad. Knowing his older brother's temper, he definitely wasn't the type to silently accept such a blatant insult.

Roa took a few steps forward and said calmly, "What did you say?"

"Hmm?" Sholoss sized up Roa. Their eyes met, and Sholoss's cold, crimson-gold pupils narrowed slightly. Sholoss could feel the young man's intense displeasure. He leaned down towards the displeased youth. Roa's height was definitely not short; he was considered tall for his age. However, Roa, who was just under 1.65 meters, was still a bit shorter than him. He spoke, "Are you questioning me? Besides, what did I say wrong?"

Roa let out a breath and took off his jacket, tossing it casually to Rudeus.

Magic Power began to surge, and his muscles bulged. Roa's physique was already good, but it was usually hidden by loose clothing, so his muscular build wasn't apparent.

This time, he exerted a little force, and the muscles all over his body became visible.

Magic Power flowed through his blood, and Roa's bones made cracking sounds.

In an instant, Roa transformed from a slender, beautiful youth into a burly man nearly 1.8 meters tall.

He exuded an aura of power. (Refer to Nezha from "A Chinese Odyssey: Part Two - Cinderella," yes, it's similar to that.)

Roa tensed his right arm, his biceps bulging, and his entire body filled with explosive strength.

Showing off his well-built muscles, Roa's expression was incredibly arrogant.

Ghislaine stood to the side, her expression somewhat serious. She felt a sense of threat from the young man.

Roa grinned coldly, "Old man, don't underestimate me. Be careful, or I might just punch you into oblivion."

He then made a provocative gesture.

Unfortunately, Roa's expression lacked any real menace.

Although the young man had grown up, he was still in transition, currently existing in a state between a mature woman and a youth, a neutral face, in short.

But it didn't matter if his expression lacked menace; his body had enough.

Sholoss was also slightly taken aback. He ignored the sarcasm in Roa's words and patted Roa's firm muscles. Roa felt a chill, Why is this old man touching me? He slapped Sholoss's hand away.

Sholoss felt a powerful force push his hand away, numbing it.

Sholoss's mouth twitched, but being a seasoned individual, he didn't feel awkward. He said with emotion, "You can't judge a book by its cover. Very good, you dare to retort, point out my mistakes, and fight for your dignity. I approve of you. This is how a man from our family should be. Although you look a bit effeminate, it doesn't matter. These are trivial matters. Go on, Philip has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

With that, he burst into laughter and left.

However, in a place Roa couldn't see, Sholoss suddenly gasped for air. Looking at his swollen hand, he was somewhat speechless.

Roa frowned. What is this? Provoking him actually earned his approval? Was this a successful provocation?

He was confused. At this moment, Rudeus quietly tugged on Roa's arm and gave him a thumbs-up. Roa glanced at Rudeus and sneered, "You're such a coward. When are you going to change your ways?"

Rudeus said with slight embarrassment, "I'm not like you, big brother. Besides, I think we almost lost our jobs just now."

Roa didn't say much. Although Sholoss's reaction was a bit beyond his expectations, having read the original work, he believed Sholoss wouldn't hold it against them because of this.

Roa reined in his immense Magic Power, his height shrinking. He returned to being a one-meter-sixty, fair-skinned, beautiful, and delicate youth who couldn't even lift a chicken.

Rudeus, who had witnessed the transformation, twitched his mouth. The contrast was too absurd, and he chose not to comment.

Entering the living room, they saw a man with smooth brown hair, looking thin and casual, sitting in the center of the room.

He wore an expensive noble suit, and his first impression was one of politeness.

Seeing the three arrive, he stood up and offered a gentle smile.

Roa stepped forward and performed a standard noble bow, inclining his body slightly. He said coldly, "Hello, you can call me Roa. I am a boy."

To avoid misunderstanding, he slightly emphasized the word "boy" at the end.

Rudeus imitated Roa's gesture and bowed to Philip, "Nice to meet you. You can call me Rudeus."

The man nodded slightly. "Yes, I am Philip Boreas Greyrat. To be honest, I didn't expect Paul to have such a 'beautiful' son. But it seems you made Father very happy?"

Philip said in a teasing tone, but Roa's crimson-gold pupils narrowed, and he looked displeased.

Rudeus secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Philip. This guy, is he going to get beaten up by Roa?

In fact, Rudeus's guess wasn't wrong.

Roa did have the thought of beating him up.
