Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 437: Speaking With The Crew

Grey looked in the sky as Ellis flew off in search of the bamboo forest he wanted. Before Ellis left, he gave him an extra wooden plaque he made, this one was for tracking his movements. That way, he could head out to meet him if he finds the pond.

‘Wow, my first day here has been full of surprises.’ He thought while bringing out the communication device he made for himself and his friends.

After hanging out with Ellis for a bit, he started missing his friends, Klaus and Reynolds especially since Ellis had their somewhat playful personality. The difference was that, compared to the duo, Ellis still hadn’t gotten to their level yet.

‘What would happen if they were to hang out together? Well, I believe Klaus and Rey would forever use his voice to mock him, while Alice would just be excited she has a strong training partner. Not to mention Void, he would want him to follow him on a journey so he could steal all the shiny things, in all, it would be a disaster for others.’ He thought while smiling.

On checking the communication device, he almost threw it away from Klaus’ yelling voice. Despite the fact that he was only hearing the voice in his head, he was still stunned by it.

What was more annoying was that Klaus wasn’t saying anything, all he did was scream his name all through.

‘What?’ He asked, exasperated.

‘Oh, you’re finally here. What’s up?’ Klaus’ excited voice soon came back.

‘Nothing, I’ve been studying something for the past few hours. Have you done anything that made people want to kill you lately? I feel like you have given how excited you are,’ Grey replied.

‘Of course not, I was only chased by an entire town while my dad was supporting them. He even tripped me twice so that I could be beaten by those people. Can you believe him!’ Klaus said.

‘What did you do?’ Grey asked, almost facepalming.

He had always known that Klaus was a troublemaker, but he just keeps raising the bar each time they meet or talk after a long time.

‘You see, there was this girl in the town. Just to be clear, she was the one who approached me, I didn’t make any advances towards her. Who would’ve known that she was betrothed to one guy from a city not too far from there? The town was under the protection…’

Klaus went on to tell him about his recent tale. After meeting the girl, Klaus became friends with her, and her future husband saw them together. He rushed towards him and Klaus beat the hell out of him.

It caused a huge ruckus and the guy went back to call his family members. On seeing them, Klaus swept the ground with them since even the elders who were called over were still in the Early stages of the Origin Plane.

On seeing that they couldn’t beat him, they decided to take it out on the town. Klaus, being respectful towards the elderly in the town, couldn’t fight against them, so he did what he felt was best, he sealed them up in the town and ran away.

He never expected his father to not only destroy the ice seal, he even found a way to get them to move faster while telling Blake to distract him. In the end, he was beaten up by a group of old men and women, before being forced to apologize to the young man who wanted to get married to the young lady.

The truth was, he didn’t really have any feelings for the young lady, he just found her company to be entertaining. From the start, it was all a misunderstanding, he thought the young man wanted to force himself on the young lady, hence he beat him up.

After finding out the truth, it was already too late. He had already beaten up the elders of the young man’s family.

….

‘I still find it surprising that all the people you’ve offended haven’t tried to come together to fight you yet. I think you might be able to unite the entire continent just so that they could beat you up,’ Grey shook his head.

Klaus will always be Klaus.

‘So, have you gone into the Magical Beasts’ forest?’ Klaus asked.

‘Yeah, I’m currently there,’ Grey replied.

Before telling him of his experience here, he didn’t forget to talk about his new acquaintance, he still hadn’t started considering Ellis as a friend yet. He didn’t know him, nor did he trust him. He didn’t tell Klaus about the new continent he heard of.

Even though he was intrigued by this new continent, he wouldn’t go with Ellis. Instead, he planned to ask him where the array was located, and then go on his own after he has confirmed that his parents aren’t here.

He would go first before bringing his friends along. Since he knew nothing of this place, he would get Ellis to tell him all he knew before he left.

‘Wait, you said he has a lady’s voice?’ Klaus asked.

Of everything he heard from Grey, Ellis having a lady’s voice was the only thing he found interesting.

‘Yeah, he was saved multiple times by people whenever he was in distress because they thought he was a damsel in distress,’ Grey said.

‘Hahaha, if I were in their position, I’d beat the crap out of him after saving him.’ Klaus laughed out loudly.

Grey continued speaking with him until Reynolds joined in on the conversation, Grey was not surprised when he found out that he already knew of Klaus’ incident.

Alice later joined in the conversation and before the group knew it, they spoke for over three hours, with Grey laughing almost all through because of Klaus and Reynolds.

Before they stopped speaking, they all asked about Grey’s well-being and also if he had found what took him there.

‘Not yet, but hopefully, soon,’ He replied

‘Okay, don’t forget to take care of yourself. If you die, I’ll come and kill you again,’ Klaus said.

‘Is that even possible?’ Reynolds asked.

‘Shut up, I’m threatening him,’ Klaus scolded from the other side.

Grey chuckled before keeping the device, he knew Klaus and Reynolds would continue this for a while before they stop, so he decided to let them be.
