Affinity: Chaos



Grey and Void rushed back to the City. 

Meanwhile, in the City. 

Cori, and the bunny leader were staring at the crowd curiously. 

"What's happening?" Cori asked the bunny leader. 

'I have no idea. I think something important happened.' The bunny leader replied. 

"I hope Void and Big brother Grey are fine." Cori said. 

She had been with the group for some time now and since Grey wasn't used to being called Uncle, he told her to call him Big brother. He insisted that being called Uncle made him feel old, and he was still very young. In fact, if not for the fact that Cori was still a little girl, in terms of how long an Elementalist's lifespan is, he was still a child compared to others. 

Take the Space Elementalist for example, although he looked to be around forty something or so, he was hundreds of years old. There was a certain way to sense the age of Elementalists, bone age. That never lies. Appearances might lie, but the bone age of an Elementalist can not be altered easily. 

The processes involved in altering one's bone age was very tedious, so even if there are people who have that thought, they wouldn't want to go through that pain. 

Cori and the bunny leader continued conversing while looking on as more and more people gathered in front of a building. 

Grey and Void soon returned, they quickly found the duo and walked over. 

Grey looked around, and wanted to send out his spiritual senses, but after recalling that there was a Peak Elemental Venerable staying in that particular building, he refrained from angering such a figure. 

Most of the people he was seeing being let into the place by the guards were all in the Elemental Venerable Plane, and there was one that caught his eye, the son of the Dawson Family Head. 

'What's he doing here?' He wondered to himself. 

With his curiosity being piqued, he strode forward, Cori, Void, and the bunny leader behind him. 

People saw him approaching and since they couldn't sense his cultivation stage, they made way for him. 

For someone to walk forward this confidently and they being unable to sense the person's cultivation meant only one thing, that person was stronger than they were. In fact, they didn't need to sense Grey's cultivation stage, there was literally a little girl behind him that had all of them stumped. 

Cori was barely ten, but she was already at the Peak of the Sage Plane. With such a person walking behind Grey, there was no doubt that he was at least in the Elemental Venerable Plane.

Grey didn't bother with anyone, on getting to the gate, he saw the guard and asked, "Please, can you inform me on what's going on?" 

The guard wanted to speak coldly, but when he sensed the cultivation stage of the little girl behind Grey, he shut up and swallowed whatever he wanted to say. He was no match for Cori, just the thought of how powerful Grey might be since he had such a little girl with him made him feel fear. I think you should take a look at

"My Lord, the Master called for powerful figures around to help him out on an expedition." The guard explained. 

"I see." Grey rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Something that a Peak Elemental Venerable would need help with must definitely be a top tier treasure. 

His only concern at the moment was the son of the Dawson Family Head. He was not the only one he recognized, there were four others with him, and all of them were already in the Eighth and Ninth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

Of course, he wasn't afraid of them, but if they were to cause any problems for him, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson or two. The issue now is that, if they were going for the expedition, then they all had to make sure not to have any internal fighting between them. 

"Can I go in?" He asked the guard. 

He knew the guards would let him in, but there was no need to treat them in a demeaning manner. 

The guards nodded. They heaved a sigh of relief that Grey wasn't like most of the people who had come early and treated them as if they were not people. 

Grey nodded at them and entered with his group. 

'Void, you and the bunny should hide. I don't want them to recognize me. If they do, there will be trouble.' He suggested. 

Void nodded, and he vanished, dragging the bunny leader with him. There was a good space in Grey's spatial storage that they had made just for them. There was lots of good stuff there and on a few occasions, Void liked going there to sleep. 

Grey and Cori walked into the building, and the moment they did, everyone turned to look at them. Even the man dressed in a golden robe, who seemed to have a heavenly demeanor turned to look at Grey and Cori. 

There were about forty people in the large Hall, and all of them, with the exception of three who looked to be the golden robed man's children, were in the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

"Are you here to help me?" The golden robed man asked. 

Grey nodded. 

"Then take off your mask, that will at least show your sincerity. Even though we are all here for our benefits, I wouldn't want an enemy of mine to come and take me unaware." The golden robed man said. 

Grey looked around, and to be honest, he was the only one with a mask on. This naturally made him seem mysterious. The golden robed man didn't have any doubts about his strength, but he wanted to know the identity of the person who came with a mask on and a freakish little girl. 

Such a figure should surely be well-known since they could have someone as young and powerful as Cori following him respectfully. 

Grey sighed, and with no other choice, he slowly brought his hand to his face and removed his mask.
