Chapter 1535  Take In A Student, Get A Son Free

Martha returned after a while, taking a glance at the dumbstruck expressions of Klaus and Grey. She nodded her head slightly, her aim had been achieved. She didnʼt want Grey to only look up to his father, of course she knew sheʼs not on the same level as her husband, thatʼs why she bullies him, to show everyone whoʼs boss.

”Thatʼs impressive Aunt!” Klaus was the first to speak as he rushed forward, ”Do you have any thoughts of having another son? Slightly more handsome than that one you have there, and also more charismatic!”

”Oh, Iʼm also a pure Water Elementalist, which means unlike that freak of nature, I can focus fully on the water element, bringing out its glory.”

”What do you say?”

Martha was slightly stunned by Klausʼ words, but more from amusement. Sheʼs had a few encounters with Klaus and knew he was an energetic person to be around. She has done her research on him and knows heʼs a pain in the butt, for those he doesnʼt like, while heʼs extra sweet for those he likes.

”Actually, I wouldnʼt mind teaching you a thing or two.” She laughed.

”Alright, congratulations, you automatically have a son since Iʼve become your student. Isnʼt that nice?” Klaus reached out to shake her hand, even though she was confused at how Klausʼ thought process worked, she shook his hand.

Klaus turned to Grey and said, ”You better start showing me respect, Iʼm your elder brother now.”

Greyʼs eyes twitched when he heard Klausʼ words.

”Donʼt you have shame?” He asked with a sigh.

”Shame is for the weak.” Klausʼ reply defeated Grey.

Martha laughed as she watched Grey and Klaus go at each other.

”If thatʼs all, Iʼll be leaving. I have some things to attend to with Cori.” She chuckled and said to Klaus, ”Iʼll see you when I get back to the Dawson manor.”

”Yes maʼam!” Klaus replied enthusiastically.

”If thereʼs anything else like this, donʼt hesitate to contact me.” She added before leaving.

Grey smiled as he saw Klausʼ excitement.

ʼI donʼt think this guy knows how strict mom is with her training.ʼ He looked at Klaus with pity.

Klaus saw Greyʼs gaze, but felt it was more of envy than anything else.

”Come on, letʼs go check it out.” He took to the air and flew to the hideout.

Grey followed Klaus, and when they entered the place, they were flabbergasted. Grey was already prepared for this, but seeing it with his own eyes was breathtaking. He didnʼt even expect it would look like this.

He touched the snowmen, and to his shock, the figures crumbled after applying some force to it.

”Amazing…” His voice trailed for a while, but then noticed something odd, even the spatial rings were turned to snow.

”Damn!” He felt his heart ache.

Itʼs clear his mother didnʼt think there would be anything of value to her in their storage rings, but to Grey and Klaus, these were very important for them. They needed it to have a vast amount of resources. The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l=B(j)n.

With the heart aches, Grey studied the place and then walked over to the portal, and his gaze turned serious. He didnʼt speak but tried to inspect it. His consciousness entered and exited in a flash.

There was someone standing guard, but the person wasnʼt a Sovereign, which helped keep him safe.

”If another troop comes in through this place, wouldnʼt they notice all this?” Klaus asked.

”From what Iʼve gathered, I donʼt think another would come through this place.” Grey explained, ”They donʼt want too many people here so their presence wouldnʼt be noticed.”

”As much as itʼs hard for us to sense Gnomes, once thereʼs a large number of them, the unfamiliar aura is bound to attract attention from the top experts.”

”Understandable.” Klaus replied.

”So on to the next hideout?”

”Sure, thereʼs still nothing to do.”

The duo ensured that the place was thoroughly inspected so as to ensure nothing was missed. Grey didnʼt think his mother would miss something, but he wanted to be sure.

Since they still havenʼt been noticed, that meant they could still wipe out more hideouts.

Theyʼve destroyed most of the ones the man knew of, and there were currently only four left. The one with the Fourth stage Sovereign was among them. Grey didnʼt know how the battle with that one would look like, but he didnʼt worry about it at the moment, when the time comes, heʼd sort it out.

….

Some days later.

Grey and Klaus arrived at the second hideout after Greyʼs motherʼs appearance. Theyʼve wiped one, and this was the next one.

Grey and Klaus were still investigating the place when Grey noticed a group ahead of them.

This group wasnʼt Necromancers, but from their attire, he could tell they were most likely from a Faction in this region. They had a Second stage Sovereign leading them. And they were about to charge into the hideout.

”Theyʼre going to ruin the fun.” Klaus frowned.

”That guy wouldnʼt be able to stop it.” Grey also frowned.

”Why would one person come here with a bunch of Venerables thinking he can wipe out a Necromancerʼs hideout?” Grey was a little suspicious.

Locating these hideouts was very difficult. If anyone accidentally finds one, charging here with one Second stage Sovereign and a bunch of Venerables wasnʼt a wise idea.

”Should we stop them?” Klaus asked.

”What if thereʼs something else going on?” Grey asked.

”Then itʼll be a little bad if we donʼt find out since itʼll leave a hidden danger.” Klaus replied

Grey nodded, ”Exactly.”

”But what if youʼre just overthinking?” Klaus asked.

Grey fell in thought and felt it was best to see what unfolds. He could always sweep in to save these guys.

For some reason, he felt maybe someone from the group would betray this group. There are Necromancers hiding in most of the Factions, if this is a case like that, then he wanted to root out the Necromancers.
