Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1474 Meeting Conor Dawson Once Again

Western Continent.

The Pyrmond Faction.

Grey could be seen sitting silently in his building. It had been a few weeks since he returned, but there had been no changes for him.

He sighed and gave up on getting another domain.

Since he returned, he locked himself up for weeks and absorbed the blood essence of the Wind Elemental Cat, but he wasnʼt able to awaken his wind domain.

He wished he could awaken another domain before breaking through to the Sovereign Plane, but it didnʼt look likely at the moment. With no other choice, he gave up.

”I donʼt know what will happen when Iʼm breaking through to the Sovereign Plane.” He murmured to himself, after careful thinking, he decided to leave the Faction.

During the last few times he had broken through, there has been one commotion or another. If he caused a commotion here and his secret was exposed to everyone, then the danger he would be in might multiply.

ʼI should get father to watch out for me. He knows everything.ʼ He thought and without hesitation, he walked out of his place.

On his way out of the Faction ground, he received a voice transmission from the Faction Leader. Before he could react, he was teleported to the Faction Leaderʼs cave.

”Youʼre leaving again?” The Faction Leader looked at Grey curiously. He had been monitoring Greyʼs movement since he returned from the mission and he had been inside all through. Seeing him walk towards the gate the second he stepped out was a little surprising.

”I have to search for opportunities to break through to the Sovereign Plane outside the Faction. From the looks of it, I canʼt break through while idle.” Grey explained.

Most of the times he has gotten a major breakthrough to the next Plane, there has generally been something to stimulate him, or so he wanted the Faction Leader to believe.

”I see. Since youʼre leaving I wonʼt stop you.” The Faction Leader nodded in understanding before bringing out a few talismans, ”Take these. I know your father might have given you stronger ones, but this should help against weaker opponents.”

Grey was someone he cherished, and he knew the danger Grey was in at the moment. Most people want him dead, and thereʼs no way Grey could fight against Sovereigns if he were attacked by one while he was on the course of getting to the Sovereign Plane. The only way he could protect him was by giving him multiple talismans. He might not be as strong as Greyʼs father, but he was a top expert at the Peak of the Sovereign Plane.

Grey didnʼt reject the talismans, he took them and bowed to the Faction Leader. With nothing else stopping him, Grey left the place, heading in the direction of the Dawson Family. He needed to meet up with his father.

On his way to the Dawson manor, he tried to check his connection with the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince was still in the secret realm which he expected. After observing what was happening, he left. He didnʼt want to blow his cover, at least not so soon.

If others notice a change in the actions of the Prince, there is a chance they might suspect something like that happened.

….

A few days later.

Grey arrived at the Dawson manor very quickly. At the time he arrived there, he didnʼt meet his father, but he encountered someone he was acquainted with, Conor Dawson.

The duo hadnʼt crossed paths in a long while and to Greyʼs surprise, Conor was in the Mid stages of the Venerable Plane when they met.

”Grey, itʼs been a while. How are you?”

The duo started conversing as they waited for Greyʼs father to return. Conor knew of Greyʼs parentsʼ absence, but Lucas returned some days ago and has been in the manor ever since. He left for some business before Grey arrived and would return the next day.

Grey and Conor spent the day talking before they went into the City to explore it. Grey hadnʼt gone to too many places in the Upoya Region, and after the duo explored the City, Conor suggested they head out.

One of the guards was told to inform Greyʼs father of his presence so as to ensure he didnʼt leave while the duo were away.

….

”What happened to the war for the secret realm, did they stop?” Grey asked as they walked.

When he was brought to his grandfather the first time, he fought for a while in the war, killing multiple people. He found it strange that for a while now, he hadnʼt heard anything about it.

”Thanks to you, they stopped attacking after we got allies. You didnʼt know?” Conor was shocked at the fact that Grey didnʼt know about it.

Grey shook his head. He didnʼt really concern himself with the aftermath.

Conor went on to tell him how his act saved the Dawson Family from the stress of war. The reason Lucas could travel this freely was all due to this. Also, thereʼs the supposed upcoming war with the Gnomes. Everyone knew there were bigger things to concern themselves with than killing each over a secret realm neither of them could enjoy if they didnʼt fight off the Gnomes.

In the end, Greyʼs actions as well as that of the Gnomes stopped the war that had been raging on for so long.

ʼAmazing how they stopped just like that after causing the deaths of thousands.ʼ Grey thought to himself.

Most of the people who died as a result of the battle are those who werenʼt at the top of power. It was a sad thing thinking about it. They died fighting for something they couldnʼt enjoy. Even if they didnʼt die and won the battle in the end, most of them still wouldnʼt get the opportunity to enter the secret realm.

He shook his head and continued following behind Conor. Being Venerables meant that they could travel kilometers in a matter of seconds.

Before long, they were almost at the end of the Upoya Region.

Grey stopped and looked behind him, ”Weʼre being followed.”
