Chapter 328: Fight!
“Wait, why did she attack him again?” Grey asked stunned as he exited the building with Sasha.
“Because he refused to tell her a story,” Sasha replied with a chuckle.
“If I remember correctly, you said she was only five at the time, right?” Grey asked in shock.
Sasha laughed out when she saw the expression on Grey’s face, before nodding.
‘Looks like she has been this way since she was young,’ Grey thought as he shook his head on hearing about Alice’s antics while she was younger.
They soon walked to the villa gate.
“Well, I’ll have to go now before your dad snaps again. It was nice speaking to you, also, no need to ask, he didn’t agree to let me see Alice,” Grey said when he saw the questioning look on Sasha’s face.
He waltzed out of the villa, stepping into the carriage Gerald sent to get him outside the Reiss family compound.
“How did you know he would attack you?” Gerald asked as soon as Grey stepped into the carriage.
“Simple, I’ve been doing my research on the Reiss family since I came here, and acquainting myself with the Earl sisters helped a lot,” Grey replied.
Before leaving Gerald’s office, he notified Gerald to get another device he could use to contact him. That way, if things went south, he could quickly contact him.
He found out from Void that Gerald was truly scared of his Teacher, so he knew he could count on him if his life were in danger. Seeing how quickly he reacted, he couldn’t help but feel impressed. Fear truly is a powerful tool.
“Did you get what you wanted?” asked Gerald.
Grey nodded but didn’t speak any further. He couldn’t take the risk of telling Gerald. He might trust him with his life because of his Teacher, but not with Alice’s.
“Good, how long will you be staying in the city?” Gerald asked.
“I need to stay a little longer, as soon as I’m done with my research, I’ll leave,” replied Grey.
“Okay, but I believe the Emperor will already be aware of your presence in the city. The mayor here is one of his lackeys,” Gerald said.
“I know, I have a plan that will solve that,” Grey said before telling Gerald his plan.
It wasn’t really his plan per se, rather, it was Donald’s plan. He would pretend to leave the city just like Alice, before sneaking back in.
“That’s a brilliant idea,” Gerald praised when he heard of his plan.
“Yeah, I need to be carefree while I’m working, so that’s the best thing to do,” Grey said.
“Okay, we’ll go ahead with your plan, just inform me when you’re ready,” Gerald said after a while.
“I’ll leave as soon as we get back to the villa,” Grey said.
He wanted to stay behind for two reasons. Firstly, to make the communication device, the second reason made him feel more excited than the first reason, it was because he could feel he was very close to comprehending the space element.
Even till now, a place for the space element hasn’t appeared in the chaos space, unlike the darkness element. He felt a little enthusiastic about the prospect of using the space element.
Once he comprehends it, he would try to see if he could sneak into the Reiss villa, with Void as his teacher, he would be able to quickly grasp the element once he comprehends it.
When they got to the villa, Grey left the carriage and headed straight to the hotel he previously stayed in. He wanted to retrieve his horse, before heading out.
Twenty minutes later.
Grey could be seen leaving Frost City riding on his horse. He soon disappeared into the horizon.
One hour later.
“Hmm, looks like they followed me all the way here,” Grey, who was currently sitting under a tree, muttered quietly.
“Come out, I know you’re here,” He said.
Five men walked out of the bushes. Looking at them, he recognized one of them because of the scar under his eyes. They were the group who followed him after he spoke with Sasha the first time.
“Why are you following me?” Grey asked nonchalantly.
“To kill you. Attack!” The man who was the youngest of the group said immediately, without even giving Grey time to prepare himself.
Unfortunately for them, he had already prepared himself before he called out to them.
Three symbols lit up in the sky before attacking the group.
Grey attacked with his fire element as well while moving at a terrifying speed to escape the attacks the group sent his way.
Boom! Bam! Bang!
One of the men was hit by Grey’s attack, and was immediately sent flying.

This has always been one of Grey’s specialties when fighting, taking out an opponent with the first strike. His explosive speed and strength is very hard to defend against, especially when his opponent knew nothing of him.
When the others from the group looked at the man who was sent flying, they were shocked to see a hole in his chest.
“Dead?” One of the men said in surprise.
The man with the scar immediately turned to look at Grey, “You bastard, I’ll kill you,”
“What did you originally plan to do if not kill me?” Grey asked with a smirk before attacking once again.
After he broke through, he felt even more confident against the group. Although he knew he couldn’t defeat them quickly, he was certain of being able to kill them all.
With the high amount of elemental essence he has in store, he wasn’t scared of the group being able to defeat him in a battle of attrition. Added with the blue vest, he wasn’t scared of being hit by any of their attacks.
Diluc followed behind him to ensure his safety, he initially wanted to attack the group, but Grey told him to stay put.
Grey made sure to use only two elements, the ones Gerald saw him using in the birthday ceremony.
The fight went on with Grey constantly being on the attack against the group.
