AFFINITY: CHAOS

Chapter 597 - Do You Think He’s Safe?



Frost City.

Reiss manor.

"Father, I think you should hide with the family for now," Alice said to her father who was seated on his seat, staring at the Elders of the family.

"The commotion caused today will surely make the Emperor send people here in no time. If we stay here, we'll definitely be attacked," Sasha said to her father.

Donald looked at the Elders before moving his gaze slowly to the cause of problems.

Grey was sitting at the side of the hall, not saying anything. He even had his eyes closed, not interested in the decisions of the Reiss family. If not for Alice, he wouldn't even come here.

"Grey, I'm sorry for what happened the last time," Donald apologized for his past actions against Grey.

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing. I've already forgotten about it," Grey replied without even opening his eyes.

Donald shook his head, "We'll follow Alice's words. For now, there's nothing we can do to go against the Emperor, and given what happened here today, the Emperor will be furious,"

He was still in shock because of Grey's actions. Grey was true to his words and he not only crippled Prince Casper's cultivation but that of all the princes present as well. Even the princesses weren't left out. He went into the city and searched for every single one of them.

The Mayor was a hopeless spectator who could do nothing but watch. He knew going back to the Emperor with what just happened would make him suffer a painful punishment from the Emperor, but since he was almost at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, the Emperor wouldn't kill him.

With the war going on, the Emperor needed all the strength he could find.

Donald was stunned by the ruthlessness of Grey. For someone so young, he never thought he would be so cold.

"Thank you, father," Alice heaved a sigh of relief when her father finally agreed to her suggestion.

She had brought it up before they showed up at the wedding, but given her father's character, she thought he would never agree to it. But looks like he decided to do what's best for the family like he always does.

Staying here would only put them at a huge risk.

"But there's something I still can't comprehend, what happened to the Peak stage Overlord Plane expert guarding the prince?" Donald asked, still in shock.

He clearly sensed the aura when the old lady was coming, but the aura vanished without a trace, and he never sensed it again, even till this very moment.

"She's been taken care of. Alice, we'll need to leave now. Given the Mayor's speed, it shouldn't take him too long to reach the Capital. It has already been a few hours now," Grey stood up from his seat.

Alice hugged Sasha tightly, before hugging her father as well.

"We'll be going now father," She said.

"It's okay. With him around, you should be safe," Donald smiled.

Alice nodded before following Grey and Reynolds.

Just as they stepped out, she heard one of the Elders of the family asking an important question.

"How can we move out our treasury,"

Grey paused when he heard this before turning to Alice, "I brought a present for you. I didn't have the time to give it to you since we were fighting,"

A ring appeared in his hands before he tossed it in her direction. She froze when she saw it and subconsciously caught it.

"That's a storage ring, Rey already has one. I can give you a few more so that your family can use it to move out their items," Grey suggested.

"Oh, you finally managed to make one?" Alice asked in shock as she held onto the ring.

She was about to put it on when Reynolds' voice entered her ears.

"You should wash that first," He said.

"Huh? Why?" Alice asked.

"Well, it was taken from the fingers of a dead person. Mine had a small dot of blood on it. Tell him to wash it," Reynolds said.

Grey shook his head before taking out all the storage rings in his and covering them with water, he didn't forget to take the one with Alice.

After a few seconds, he tossed five over to Alice. He taught her how to use it, and she managed to get the hang of it on the first try.

She thanked him before rushing inside the hall once again. Since she didn't want everyone to know about it, she called her father to a secret place and passed them to him. She also taught him how to use it.

Donald was left shocked and speechless when she saw the ring. Never in his life did he think there would be something like this. He could easily keep his treasures in a ring that would always be with him, and no one would even know about it.

With great curiosity in his heart, he asked where it came from. When he heard Grey was the one who gave Alice the rings, he was once again stumped by the young man. He concluded that Grey was a mysterious person he shouldn't offend.

He couldn't help but feel grateful that his daughter managed to make such a friend. From the strength Grey displayed back at the Mayor's manor, he was certain that within a few years, he would be unrivaled in the entire Azure Continent. At that time, he wouldn't need to hide with his family any longer. In fact, they would be at the very peak of the world.

Alice stayed with him for a few more minutes before going back to meet up with Grey and Reynolds.

….

Outside the Reiss manor.

"Where to now?" Reynolds asked.

"It's only right we reunite with Klaus. He must be so lonely," Grey said.

"I'm surprised he's still alive," Alice said.

"Yeah, I can attest that the Principal has beaten him up a few times," Grey said.

"He still hasn't replied to any of my messages. Do you think he's safe?" Reynolds asked, a little worried.

"He should be," Grey said, he later added, "We'll know when we get to where he is,"
