AFFINITY: CHAOS

Chapter 381: You Should Be!



Chapter 381: You Should Be!

“And you believe that?” Grey sneered, not bothered with Jean’s threat.

Although Grey didn’t know much about the Emperor, he was sure the Emperor would most likely execute Jean and the entire Smith family if he found out about this.

The Emperor wants him for the Great Earth Essence Liquid, if Jean killed him, it would be equivalent to saying he had obtained the Liquids from Grey. This would in turn mean he wanted to usurp power from the Emperor after using the liquid, turning him into the threat.

Jean naturally didn’t believe what he said, he was only trying to bait Grey into telling him about it.

Others Grey’s age would’ve been scared if their lives were threatened, but the fact that Grey agreed to come here in the first place showed that he wasn’t simple. In fact, this made Jean all the more suspicious of Grey’s motive of coming.

He could almost sense an ill foreboding.

“Fine, you can keep the secret with you. Given the amount of effort the Emperor has put into searching for you, I believe he would reward the Smith family handsomely for capturing you,” He said after giving it some thought.

Greed had been the downfall of many great individuals, so it was best not knowing why the Emperor was searching for Grey. There was a high chance he might covet the thing if he were to know it’s worth.

This is a simple case of the saying, better safe than sorry.

Grey nodded, not too bothered with them.

Swoosh!

He suddenly placed his feet on the ground, using the force he generated to push the seat back, casually evading the wind blade that was sent towards him while still seated on the chair.

Boom!

The wind blade struck the ground, sending out wind current in all directions. The breeze blew Grey’s hair, making his short hair dance in the wind.

Raising his head, he saw the fiery gaze of the young lady who was sitting close to Jean.

‘She’s most likely a prodigy of their family, well, it’s none of my business.’ He thought with his gaze turning cold.

“I’ll take this as a mistake and let this go, if you attack me again, then don’t blame me for reciprocating,” Grey said coldly.

He had always been one to attack whoever attacked him, since the Smith family was going to go through a tough ordeal soon, he decided to let her go for it. Well, that’s all on the premise that she didn’t attack him again. If she did, then she might just join her siblings who are trying to heal their essence beads.

“Hmph! Don’t think because my father didn’t agree to kill you doesn’t mean we can’t teach you a lesson. You ruined the life of my brother and sister, if we let you go, isn’t that the same as saying the Smith family are afraid of you?” The young lady asked.

“Well… technically, you should be,” Grey replied with an amused smile, not even putting Jean in his eyes.

It was almost like Grey was the one who caught them, not the other way around.

“You…” The young lady stood up from her seat, anger written over her face, she turned to her father, “Father, let me teach this scoundrel what it means to offend our family,”

Jean gave her a nod, he also wanted Grey to be beaten, since he could beat William, it meant that he was at least in the Seventh stage of the Origin Plane. What he found strange though was that, even with his cultivation stage at the Overlord Plane, he couldn’t see through Grey’s stage.

He had tried using his spiritual sense multiple times, but whenever it got close to Grey, it was like there was something that was taking the power into boundless space, no matter what, he could get his spiritual sense close to Grey.

If Grey were to hide in this hall, there was no way he would be able to find him. Thinking about this, he sucked in a cold breath.

‘I need to contact the Emperor as soon as possible. After getting feedback from him, I’ll send the boy over to them. No, I’ll tell him to send people to come and pick him up, that way, even if he escapes on the way, I wouldn’t be blamed.’

Jean immediately started thinking of ways to send Grey away, the sooner the better. He recalled that the Emperor sent people here to summon Donald Reiss, he was hoping to see if they were still in the city so they could take Grey.

For some reason, he didn’t like the fact that Grey was with them.

After all was said and done, he had great confidence in his daughter, hence he allowed her to fight with Grey. She had been able to go toe to toe with an expert in the Ninth stage of the Origin Plane when she just broke through to the Seventh stage.

No matter how strong Grey was, there’s no way he would be able to easily beat someone in the Ninth stage, so even if he was stronger than his daughter, it wouldn’t be by much. This was the reason he allowed her to fight.

The young lady stepped down from where they were sitting, heading towards Grey while releasing a malevolent aura.

“Even if I’m not allowed to kill you, I’ll beat you to a pulp!” She said confidently.

“You’re that confident?” Grey raised a brow.

To be honest, he felt the young lady was okay in strength. But if she thought she had a chance against him, then she was dreaming.

Even Reynolds’ Elemental Warrior would be able to easily beat her up, much less Grey.

If Alice and Klaus were in the Sixth stage, they wouldn’t have a problem with facing her given their strength and foundation. This young lady might be strong to others, but when compared to Grey and his crew, she was lacking, by a lot.

The only thing he found strange was how she was able to advance this quickly. One has to remember that William was already in his twenties, so it was understandable that he was able to reach the Seventh stage.

‘Hmm, there’s no way she would’ve advanced this much, unless… the trial land.’
