Affinity: Chaos

Grand Elder Archibald was caught in a dilemma, he didn't know what to say. He wanted to cripple Grey, but with such a powerful father, he didn't dare to even voice it out.

Grand Elder Archibald might be older than Lucas, but in terms of strength, he knew he was not a match. He couldn't even exchange a few rounds with him, much less fight against him.

If he said he wanted to cripple Grey, Lucas and Martha might flip out and charge here. They dared to do so, he knew all too well how bold the duo were. Martha was even more brutal, so he didn't want to offend such a figure.

Seeing the hesitation from Grand Elder Archibald, Bertram revealed a mocking look. It was clear that the Grand Elder only knew how to bully the weak and feared the strong.

"Alright, since you're offended by his behavior. I'll apologize on his behalf. You can send those in the same Plane as himself to try to kill him. If they succeed then I'll accept that my son is incapable, but if the person is more than three stages above him, I'll come here, and you will give me an explanation." Lucas looked at the Grand Elders, his words domineering.

He didn't stop them from trying to get revenge on Grey, but as long as the person was three stages above Grey, he would come there and seek an explanation.

Grand Elder Archibald's facial expression was complicated, even though Lucas gave them the go-ahead to try to get revenge on Grey, did he dare to try it? He didn't, even if he was forced he wouldn't dare to make a move on Grey.

It could be said that Lucas was still reasonable, Martha on the other hand was a lunatic. If anything happened to her son, she would definitely flip out and attack them. She wouldn't even consider if they were the ones who did it or not.

At this moment, Bertram looked at Lucas, a little shocked. Lucas just threatened the Grand Elders subtly, and even forced them to take Grey's safety into account at all times.

The meaning to his words were simple, if anything happens to my son, I'll come for you people. I said you can take revenge, but do you dare?

No one would want to enrage this frightening genius.

He might be younger than most of the people present, but he used a few words to put a few in their places. In the end, strength was all that mattered. The strong were feared, while the weak can only cower before them.

Take Grand Elder Archibald for example, he wouldn't have gone against Bertram previously, even though he was stronger, the difference wasn't large. But the moment he broke through, he directly came to look for trouble with him.

"Alright, cultivate well kid, I'll come pick you up if I need you." Lucas smiled at Grey, after giving the Grand Elders a meaningful look, he nodded at Bertram and drilled into Grey's body.

Grey was shocked, he didn't even know when his father placed a spiritual clone in his body. This was something only top experts can do. One has to know that the Grand Elder was stronger than the Faction Leader which should make him a Half God, yet his father's spiritual clone managed to push his hand away.

Of course, that wasn't the full strength of Grand Elder Archibald, but this still showed that Lucas was terrifyingly powerful.

The Grand Elders looked at each other before one of them chuckled, "I never expected you to be his son."

"Dismissed." The Old man in the middle said and they vanished.

Bertram grabbed Grey and vanished. Grand Elder Archibald stood on the same spot, embarrassed and flustered. He never expected that after breaking through to the Half God Plane, he would be treated in this manner. Half Gods were those at the top of the world, of course there was a difference in their strength, it didn't mean that he would be treated in this manner.

He stood in the same position for a long time before disappearing.

....

"Haha, I never expected that he was your father." Bertram laughed in spite of himself, he was given a huge shock today.

"I only found out recently as well." Grey replied.

"I see, looks like he was planning to keep you hidden for a while." Bertram said.

Grey didn't explain anything to him, after staying for a while he left.

He was excited that his father was so powerful, he couldn't help but curse internally. If he had grown with his father, his life would've been easier. But after some thought, he knew that wouldn't be good for him.

If he stayed in such an environment, he would've grown faster, but he wouldn't be the way he currently is.

"Come, your father is powerful, why don't we go and cause some trouble?" Void suggested.

"Do you believe me if I tell you my mother will beat me up?" Grey said.

Void shook his head, he had heard of how fearsome Grey's mother was, but he didn't really think that she would beat him up.

Grey couldn't be bothered with him.

His issue in the Faction could be said to be settled as it stands.

'Alright, time to cultivate.' He thought internally.

'What do you want to focus on?' Void asked.

'I guess I'll learn to control my strength.' Grey said.

When his father's spiritual clone appeared, the attack he used to block the attack of Grand Elder Archibald was shocking. He didn't sense any ripples from it, but it still possessed powerful strength.

He felt like if he could get that kind of control over his strength, his attack power would increase. He would also gain a better understanding of his strength.

'That? It's not easy.' Void replied.

'I know, that's why I want to train it.'

'I guess I'll train with you as well.'
