Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1046 Where Are They?

They had been watching Grey since the start of the battle, and when the young man who wanted to assassinate him appeared, they felt he would make a mistake, but to their surprise, he didn't.

Sensing the young man wasn't as hard as sensing the elemental particle the old man placed on the body of the others. The fact that Grey would be cautious in such a state showed that he was not a newbie.

He must be used to planning, and his decision-making was also top-notch.

….

While Lucas and Martha were shocked by Grey's insane abilities, Grey was taking advantage of his chances.

After killing all four at the Peak, he was left with only the two Earth Elementalists. The old man was beyond depressed, he was devastated. From what has happened, he knew his chances of surviving this were below five percent. Grey was just too strong.

The old man looked at the other Earth Elementalist, "We'll have to fight with our lives on the line, technically, it is on the line."

The other Earth Elementalist looked at the old man, he also heard the voice of the Elemental Sovereign who gave them orders, if they dared to withdraw, then they would most likely die. What was worse was that the Sovereign didn't give them a chance, threatening them with death.

Grey would kill them, and the Sovereign would also kill them, against Grey, there's a chance of survival, against the Sovereign, there were zero chances of survival. Even an Elemental Venerable was at the mercy of a Peak Elemental Sovereign, much less a Peak Sage Plane Elementalist.

Grey didn't know that they were threatened by an Elemental Sovereign, nor did he care. The people he killed were people who had killed multiple people from the Dawson Family, some had even killed Peak Sage Plane Elementalists, so even if they died, it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing the two Earth Elementalist, he said, "Just give up, you're no match for me."

The Earth Elementalists gritted their teeth but still tried to attack Grey. They were on a sure-death path, so why not try to live a little longer?

Those at the Peak of the Sage Plane tend to always want to live longer, especially when said person was as old as the old man.

They attacked Grey, their life and death on the line.

….

Some minutes later.

"Kid, you're stronger than I thought." The old man from the Dawson Family said.

Grey, his father, his mother, and his grandfather were standing on the city wall.

With Grey's appearance, any battle below the Elemental Venerable Plane was futile. The leader of the war soon told his people to hold back, if they hadn't, then humanity would've wiped them out. Well, more like Grey single-handedly taking care of it, but it wasn't appropriate.

The Sovereign in charge of the battle called for his army to withdraw after Grey killed all his opponents. The old men at the Peak of the Sage Plane didn't give him an easy time, nor did the other Earth Elementalist, but he managed to kill them even before the other Peak Sage Plane Elementalists from the Dawson Family could free themselves, going out to help them.

"I was lucky." Grey said humbly.

He wouldn't try to act all high and mighty in front of his parents and grandfather.

"No need to be too modest, at your age, you're unparalleled." The old man said.

Grey smiled but didn't reply. To him, he felt he was only so-so. If he encountered an Elemental Venerable in the Mid or Late stages, he would die without a doubt. This was why he didn't feel happy about his achievement.

? "Let's head back. It's best if you go to the realm, I have some plans for you." The old man said.

"Father, he's not going to take the position of the Family Head." Lucas said straightforwardly.

"Do you think we have that time? It'll be a good thing if he can get to the Sovereign Plane, much less become the Family Head." The old man said.

Lucas paused, not expecting this from his father, "Oh that. You don't have to worry about him. He'll be fine."

"He's my grandson, don't think you have all the say about what he feels like doing." The old man snorted.

"Kid, I have some opportunities for you, I wonder if you wish to accept this old man's proposal." The old man turned to Grey.

"Grandfather, of course I will accept your request, but I'll have to meet up with my friends first." Grey replied.

The old man paused for some time, he knew of Grey's friends, and so did Lucas and Martha.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you in the Family manor. Don't come here any longer, it's too dangerous. Not just them, but others are still looking to take care of you." The old man said.

"The Gnome race?" Grey asked, shocking the old man, Lucas, and Martha.

"How did you know about this?" The old man asked.

"I killed them, of course I'll know what they want to do." Grey said.

The old man couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle.

Grey was more intelligent than he thought. Not just that, but he was also well-informed and knew the subsequent actions to take. If others knew that an entire race that seemed stronger than humans were trying to kill him, they would most definitely freak out, but Grey was fine. In fact, he didn't seem to care about that.

"Your friends, where are they?" The old man asked.

They didn't know too much about Grey's friends and wanted Grey to tell them about them. If their strength were not up to the task, then he would send Grey to the secret realm, regardless of his decision.

He had heard of Klaus, Reynolds, and Alice, but he didn't know much about them. After all, just like Grey, they appeared from nowhere. So they didn't know too much about them.
