Chapter 1438  Whereʼs The Real Culprit?

”How do we get him?” Grey asked the man.

”I can bring him out, but itʼll take a while.” The man replied.

”Alright.” Grey walked over to the man and for precautionary measures, placed the fusion orb alongside an array on both his brains and cores.

He didnʼt want to take any chances with someone as powerful as the man. This was a person who created a method of controlling someone without them even being able to remember what happened during that period of time, the chances that he can easily bypass just the fusion orb was really high.

When Grey got close to the man, there were signs of hesitation from him, but he didnʼt argue and let Grey do what he wanted.

”If I take you back, Aries will want you dead. Iʼm going back to tell her the culprit will arrive shortly.” Grey said.

Grey didnʼt think he would meet two special people in such a short time, and unlike the previous people that had followed him, he was the one who recruited these ones. To a certain extent, it could be said that he was slowly building an army of freaks to fight against the Gnomes and the rest of his enemies.

Being able to control someone and know what is happening wherever they are is amazing.

”Get him to come meet us somewhere close, Iʼll be hiding around to take him out.” Grey said and vanished, he didnʼt take the man with him.

….

Back in the town.

Klaus and the others were still in the building, the man they fought here was also there with them.

”Why is he taking so long?” Reynolds asked.

”Heʼll be fine.” The man said.

Klaus glared at the man, it was clear he still didnʼt have a good impression of the man. Even though the man helped them apprehend whoever was causing all this, it was not enough for him to forgive him for what he did to Reynolds. If he didnʼt act quickly by freezing him, and had Grey delayed, then Reynolds mightʼve been dead.

He isnʼt sure thereʼs anything the man could do that will make him forgive him for that.

The man saw Klausʼ gaze but didnʼt think much of it. He wasnʼt too interested in Klaus and the others, if not for Grey, he wouldnʼt even be here in the first place.

They were about to speak when Grey suddenly appeared.

”Where is he?” Aries asked hurriedly.

”Donʼt worry, the main culprit will be coming soon.” Grey smiled before turning to Klaus, seeing his expression, he knew he was upset.

”Heʼs not a difficult person to deal with. You know necromancers are useless against me.” Grey chuckled and walked over to where the trio were kept.

”What about these guys?” Reynolds pointed at them.

”They donʼt know whatʼs happening. According to what I know, they wonʼt even have a memory of what theyʼre doing while being controlled.” Grey said.

”So youʼre saying?” Aries questioned.

”They are good.” Grey answered, ”They have no memory of ever being necromancers, nor do they even recall coming here.”

”How can such a technique exist?”

Even the man was stunned by this discovery. He didnʼt think there was a way something like this would happen, only after hearing it from Greyʼs mouth did he realize that it was true.

”Difficult, but as you can see, itʼs possible thanks to a crazy mind.” Grey answered.

”We should leave, Iʼll take you to the person doing all this in a few hours.” He turned to Aries and said.

Klaus looked at Grey coldly, but didnʼt say anything. He was still pissed that Grey left them behind while chasing a dangerous opponent.

”Youʼre too confident in your ability, itʼll put you in trouble some day.” He commented when he saw Greyʼs nonchalance.

”Donʼt worry, Iʼm not dumb. Iʼll make sure to be very careful whenever I do things like this next time.” Grey said in a defeated manner, he knew arguing with Klaus was pointless, and besides, he knew Klaus was right too.

Klaus didnʼt say anything, he snorted and went outside with Alice and the others.

Grey was left inside the place with the man.

”Did you kill him?” The man asked.

”No, letʼs say he picked the same option as you did.” Grey replied.

”Why are you gathering us?” The man asked.

”Iʼm in a situation I canʼt handle alone, I just need some help.” Grey replied with a shrug.

Grey and the man spoke for a while before leaving and meeting up with his friends. This was the first time he was having a good conversation with the man and he learnt his name in the process, the man was called Lewis.

….

”Whoʼs the culprit?” Aries asked when Grey stepped out.

”Another Elder from your Faction.” Grey replied, seeing the skepticism in the face of Aries, he said, ”This one knows what heʼs doing.”

”And the person you went after?” Aries asked.

”Not troublesome, heʼs cool.” Grey replied.

”Meaning?”

”Heʼs only a pawn. Thereʼs no point killing him.”

”But heʼs the one the link is connected to.”

”Itʼs not that serious. Donʼt worry.”

”Why are you covering for him?”

”Heʼs of use to me. He will not cause any more problems here.”

When Aries heard this, she didnʼt speak anymore.

”Make sure he doesnʼt cause any problems here.”

”Donʼt worry.” Grey smiled, he recalled something and said, ”Oh, and heʼll be leaving this place soon, so you donʼt have to worry about him. There are others you should be concerned about though.”

Aries didnʼt like the fact that Grey was seemingly recruiting these evil people, but she didnʼt hassle over it since there was no point in doing that.

They all left for the location Grey said the culprit would be and after some minutes of water, Klaus asked, ”Where are they?”

”Donʼt be in a haste, theyʼll be here soon.”

Just as Grey finished his statement, two figures appeared.

”Whatʼs the meaning of this?”
