Chapter 1263 I'll Kill You If You Dare Say It

?

"I wonder how the Instructors are doing." Grey wondered out loud. 

He rarely thought of Instructor Blake and Delia, but occasionally he does think about them. Before leaving the Azure Continent, his Teacher told him he would be taking the duo, along with the Principal who was injured during the battle with him. Since then, other than occasionally speaking with his Teacher, he didn't know how they were doing, the Principal particularly. 

"Yeah." Klaus' countenance changed when Grey brought up this topic. He had been trying his best not to think about his father's condition. He didn't know if Uncle Chris would be able to heal him. 

"Don't worry. Teacher isn't that bad, he will be able to help out. Besides, he can't sit by and watch his best friend stay in that condition for too long." Grey comforted him. 

"I know." Klaus cheered up instantly, a sly grin appeared on his face as he asked, "Do you think Instructor Blake and Instructor Delia have a child yet? I mean, it's been a few years now."

Grey almost wanted to knock Klaus out, unfortunately, he couldn't. 

'How I wish I could beat him up.' He thought to himself. 

"Oh right, did I tell you Alice has a boyfriend?" Klaus spoke up. 

Grey raised a brow when he heard this, he didn't think Alice would find someone so soon, but when he thought about it, everyone was not like him, Alice might like fighting and training, but she was still a person who had basic needs.

"What do you know about the guy? Is he bad? If yes, let's go beat him up, if not, they should have the best time together." Grey squinted his eyes. 

Klaus saw his eyes and nodded, "I've done all the investigation I can do. He's from an average Family. His talent is not on Alice's level, but he isn't that bad. With a few treasures, he will grow faster." 

Grey didn't speak too much, since Klaus said the guy was okay, then it had nothing to do with him. If it was one of those guys who just wanted to take advantage of Alice, then they would beat him up, there was no way they would let someone hurt their friend. 

Alice was the only girl in the group, and they naturally protected her a lot. 

"How's Rey doing?" Grey asked. 

He hadn't seen them for over a year now, he is quite curious about all of them. 

"From what I've heard, he's doing fine. Having an Elemental Warrior means even if he's still in the Fourth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, he could fight with those in the Seventh and Eighth stage." Klaus reported, "His status is pretty high, and from what the moron told me, he said he wants to take the position of an Elder. Apparently, there is an Elder he wanted to beat up, but he can't do that with his current status in the Faction." 

Grey burst out laughing, this was something he was sure Klaus would do, so he wasn't too surprised. 

"I've missed you guys." He said softly, "Why don't we ask the others to join us on our return journey?"

"Sure. It's not a bad idea." Klaus answered. 

"You know what?" Klaus suddenly spoke up.

Grey shook his head, wondering what Klaus was up to. 

"You already know the seal will be broken soon and the Continent will descend into war." 

"I'm aware of that." 

"Why don't the four of us go on a trip? Who knows, it might be the last time we will be able to do this." 

"I'd like that."

Grey agreed to Klaus' suggestion. There was a high probability that he might be one of the first people to die during this war. Given how high the Gnomes placed him on their kill list, they would try every means possible to want to kill him. It wouldn't be a bad thing if he accompanied his friends this one time. 

The duo spent the entire night at the Inn, reminiscing about the old days. The times at the Lunar Academy were quite peaceful compared to what they were facing at the moment. Grey was just a nobody who people didn't care about. 

Klaus was the son of the Principal of Lunar Academy, as well as the Mayor of the City, so his reputation was quite high. 

They spoke about their encounters with the Crowned Prince and the Emperors. In the end, they succeeded and even managed to create a new Empire. 

Their journey has been quite entertaining just thinking about it, but they've faced so many death experiences that to be honest, they weren't afraid of it any longer. They could've died years ago, but they were still here. If the war happens and they end up dead, then it wasn't all that bad. 

Klaus had already contacted Alice and Reynolds, and before dawn, they received the news from the duo that they would be heading over to meet them at the Dawson Family manor.

Since it would take a few weeks before they got there, Grey decided to check up on Arya's brother and heal him first, before heading back to the Dawson Family. 

He had a feeling his father was already aware of what happened in the meeting. But he still had to head give him the news. 

Klaus had nothing to do, and heading back to his Faction was completely out of the picture. Since that was the case, he tagged along and headed to check up on Arya's brother. He was also very curious about the Dawson Family, so he wouldn't mind visiting.

….

Two weeks later. 

Grey and Klaus arrived in the small town the triplet from the horned race were staying with Arya. 

When Grey arrived, it didn't take long for him to locate them. He was amazed by how much they've grown. 

Arya was already close to the age of going for the test. 

"Master, you've returned." 

Arya ran out of the building to hug Grey. 

Klaus' eyes twitched and he looked at Grey with a weird expression. 

"I'll kill you if you even dare to say it."
