Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1047 What Did You Hear?

Going out alone would be dangerous, especially after the kill order. But Lucas and Martha didnʼt object to it, nor did Greyʼs grandfather, so he left soon after he returned. His only friend in the Dawson Family was not around, so he didnʼt stay for long.

….

Time went by and before Grey knew it, days had gone by.

He was currently waiting in Klausʼ manor in the Faction Klaus joined. He wasnʼt allowed to roam since it was an all-girls Faction, so he was teleported there.

When Klaus came out to see Grey, he was shocked when he tried to sense Greyʼs stage. Even though he couldnʼt pinpoint it, he sensed that it was at least in the Late stages of the Sage Plane.

”What the hell man, how are you advancing so fast?” Klaus cursed and looked at Grey.

”I miss you too, Klaus.” Grey replied.

He was already used to the way Klaus spoke, so even when he insulted new people, Grey didnʼt bother about it. At most, he would let them beat him up. According to what Lucas told him about Klaus, he was a thorn in the necks of the Moonlight Faction, but for some reason, the Faction Leader valued him a lot. According to what Greyʼs father told him, he was their lucky star.

”Itʼs been so long!” Klaus exclaimed and hugged Grey.

It had been a while since he spoke or even saw Grey. Not just Grey, but the others seemed to have been occupied recently, so they didnʼt have much of his time. Even when he was free, he didnʼt cultivate much.

After so many months, he had shot to the Eighth stage of the Sage Plane. Grey was powerful and also lucky, Klaus on the other hand seemed to be the child of lady luck. He had risen to the Eighth stage of the Sage Plane and he didnʼt even go to a secret realm like Grey. Had he done that, then he would already be at the Peak of the Sage Plane, if not higher.

”Yes, you seem to be enjoying life.” Grey said as he looked at the living environment here.

Even though he wasnʼt allowed into the main part of the Faction, they still sent him to Klausʼ manor. It was quite large and had all the things he needed to live comfortably.

”Here? Itʼs boring as hell. I want to go out and have fun with you and the others.” Klaus couldnʼt help but say.

Joining a faction was both a blessing and a curse. He advanced faster, but he was also forced to stay in the same place. He couldnʼt even hassle over it. Being the only boy in an all-girls Faction meant that he was the one who had to occasionally go out for missions. With his status, he couldnʼt let those weaker than him take on these dangerous missions, so he was the one who took it.

It wasnʼt just because they were weaker, but because they were all young ladies.

When Grey took a good look at Klaus, he noticed that his skin was glowing, and it looked somewhat pale.

”What the hell have you been doing?” He couldnʼt help but ask.

”Missions.” Klaus replied.

After seeing Greyʼs eyes, he knew that Grey was speaking about his skin. He laughed before explaining the reason for it. Staying in the snow and a cold environment for too long affected his skin and it turned paler. This wasnʼt useless, whenever he used the ice attribute, his body would increase the strength of the ice, making it stronger.

His flesh stored a large amount of ice, and whenever he was fighting, it would start to show its use.

”All the missions?” Grey couldnʼt help but ask.

”Yes, all missions.” Klaus replied.

Before Grey could say a word, Klaus sank into the ground.

”So Iʼll take that as not all the missions?” Grey laughed.

”Yes, only a few of the missions.” Klaus replied with a gloomy expression.

”Letʼs go outside, these seniors have a bad habit of keeping an eye, and ears on me.” Klaus said.

Just when Grey wanted to stand up, Klausʼ entire body sank into the ground.

He couldnʼt help but thank the heavens that he didnʼt say a thing about them. Klaus seemed to be suffering a lot. Well, given his mouth, it wasnʼt surprising.

Grey didnʼt even try to help Void and stood up walking outside.

Some minutes later, Klaus came out with an even gloomier expression.please visit .

ʼThey are bullying me. One of the seniors approached me and I refused her.ʼ Klaus sent a telepathic message to Grey.

At their current level, they didnʼt need to speak out, and could easily send telepathic messages to each other as long as they were within a specific range.

Grey raised a brow but didnʼt respond. He knew if an Elementalist was strong, they could even intercept telepathic messages, even when the people were so close.

Before Klaus could say anything, he was once again struck into the ground.

Grey burst out laughing.

”Damn it! How can a senior have such a habit of trying to get gossip?” Klaus complained.

Grey laughed before saying, ”Letʼs head out.”

He knew it wasnʼt safe to say anything here. Of all the people they encountered that day, the Moonlight Faction also had their eyes on him, so if he were to tell Klaus any secrets now, it would get to them.

….

”Wait, what?!” Klaus almost spat out the wine he was drinking.

The duo were currently in a city not too far from where the Moonlight Faction was situated.

”Yes, you donʼt have to overreact.” Grey said.

”What do you mean not to overreact? If youʼve heard of Lucas Dawson as much as Iʼve heard about him, then youʼll know that I have every right to overreact.” Klaus said.

”Oh really, what did you hear about him?” Klaus asked curiously.

”A lot…” Klaus started to speak about all the things he had heard about Greyʼs father. Apparently, the current Faction Leader of the Moonlight Faction was in love with him, but he didnʼt spare her a glance, instead, he went for the more aggressive Martha Reile.
