Affinity: Chaos

Grey scoffed and decided not to ask about it any longer, since Void didn't want to let him feel the attack, he would not bother with it, besides, it might actually be for his own good.

They soon started their journey once again, since Grey could sense Gnomes, he was not scared of encountering any of them, his only fear now was the possible traitors they didn't know, and also necromancers.

Since the Burchard Family were able to get the news, then they definitely knew some things, they just didn't want to tell Grey.

'I should visit the others while I'm at it, they would be surprised by how far I've grown.' He thought to himself.

He still had a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, but the thought of traveling there hadn't come to his mind.

Klaus, Reynolds, and Alice were relatively around the same Region, so meeting up with them shouldn't be an issue.

….

Two weeks went by in a flash.

In a restaurant, Grey and Void were seated, eating.

They were currently in the Quaver Region, on their way, Grey recalled he left the triplets here to take care of Arya and her older brother who was injured. With his Father's strength, he felt maybe he would be able to help Arya's brother recover.

It had been a while, so after contacting the triplets, they told him of the trouble that was brewing in the town. Some weeks back, a group took residence in the town, given it was a small town, there weren't any top experts there, at the time the triplets started to stay in the place, they were the strongest, and at that time, they were around the Early stages of the Sage Plane or so. They hid their strength and started to live like ordinary people.

While two took care of Arya and her brother, one of them started to travel around to search for a healing method.

The new group of people who arrived were over fifteen, and more than half of them were in the Sage Plane, although the brothers were also in the Sage Plane, they couldn't compare to them.

The group started to rule over the town, and since the triplets were their only equal, they started to bully them, attacking them on some occasions. The brothers couldn't leave since one of them went out and there was no way to track him.

Grey wanted to survey the area before deciding on what to do, it wasn't up to him to save the world, he would only do the ones he could and leave the rest.

While he was busy eating, a figure walked into the restaurant. Grey noticed the countenance of those living in the town changed.

The figure was that of a young man who was around the Late stages of the Overlord Plane. With a haughty face, he walked past Grey, not even sparing him a glance. Grey hid his aura, so he looked like a person in the Origin Plane. With such strength, it was normal to be neglected.

The young man walked over to a particular table that hosted a group of three, a young lady with amazing features was among the group.

The young man licked his lips before taking a seat, "If you don't mind, I would like to share a table with you three."

Even though he was already seated, he still asked, trying to show some courtesy.

Grey shook his head when he saw this, the group of three was only in the Early stages of the Overlord Plane, so there was no way they were a match for the young man.

The young lady felt a bit uncomfortable with the lecherous looks the young man was giving her, and she stood up, trying to walk away from the restaurant. She was naturally accompanied by her friends, a young man, and another young lady whose looks were not on par with hers.

The young man stood up and followed them, "Wait, aren't you going to pay before leaving?"

He blocked their paths.

"Please, move aside, we've already paid for our meal." The young lady spoke when the young man blocked their paths.

"I didn't see you paying, so how can I believe you?" It was clear that the young man was only searching for a reason to keep them there.

"We're from the Quill Faction, you should keep your distance if you know what's good for you." The young man in the group said coldly.

He could see the way the young man was staring at the young lady, and even though he could tell that the young man was stronger than they were, he wasn't afraid. The Quill Faction was a powerful Faction, although it was not on the same level as the Factions Grey and his friends joined, it was a Mid level Faction. In a place like this, such a Faction was powerful enough to scare people.

"Oh, this makes things even better. We have someone there that we would like you to deliver a message to." The young man's gaze suddenly went cold, and before the group knew it, he attacked.

The young man stepped forward and tried to block the attack, but he was sent flying, crashing out of the building.

'Why don't you help?' Void asked.

'Should I help everyone I see on the way?' Grey replied to Void's question with a question of his own.

He didn't have the time to save everyone, of course he planned to help this group, but he wouldn't rush over. Since they were from a Faction, and would be regarded as geniuses there, then there's a high chance that they had some life-saving items, it would be best if they had gotten to the stage where they wanted to use it before he helped.

Some people needed such encounters if they were to ever grow strong.

Void looked at Grey but didn't say a word, although he was the strongest, Grey was still the one in charge.
