Lord Bear shook his head and did not directly answer the other party's question, but instead asked:
"Aaron Griffin, you've traveled all the way from New York City to a small town in Texas, just to attend the Milk Festival?"
He was inquiring about the other's identity, and although he was almost certain that this was the person he was looking for, Lord Bear decided to confirm it just to be safe.
If the other party was not his target, then he planned to leave immediately, after all, his own identity had changed now and he needed to be more cautious in his actions.
"You, you know me?"
Facing Lord Bear's question, Aaron was incredibly surprised; the way the other spoke, it seemed as if he was very familiar with him.
Hearing this, Lord Bear finally confirmed the man's identity, but he was surprised by the strength the other exhibited.
"Hmm, it is indeed you, but… how can the Griffin Family's bloodline be so weak? To be left helpless even against a low-level Ete."
