Affinity: Chaos

"This... I can't give it to you. You might be stronger than me, but don't think you can kill me." The young man's expression was unsightly.

"Look, I'm not a fan of doing this as well, if not, I'd try to kill you and take it. I have some things here that I wouldn't mind exchanging it for." Grey said coolly.

If the young man didn't agree to his request, then he would forcefully take it. This was something that might be able to help Arya's brother, he still didn't know if his father would be able to help yet, so he had to be prepared for the worst.

The young man looked at Grey, his expression was cold. Just when he was about to give the item up, he froze and looked in a particular direction.

"Hehe, looks like you're not the only one who wants the item." He laughed when he sensed the aura of three more people, all of them were at the Peak of the Sage Plane.

He felt that as long as they joined their strength, they would be able to defeat Grey.

When appearing here, Grey told the others to wait for him, and that he would go alone. Alice suggested that they went after the person who got the item she wanted. The others agreed to it, they also wanted to have some fun.

"Even if ten more people come, I'll still defeat them. While I'm still in a good mood, you should hand it over." Grey's eyes turned cold when he said this.

The young man wanted to use others against him. In his dreams!

Three figures appeared, wearing black cloaks and their faces were covered. Seeing Grey and the young man, one of them said coldly, "You two, drop your storage ring and buzz off."

They had the number advantage, and other than Grey who looked to be a threat, the other young man doesn't seem to be a problem. They felt they could deal with him easily.

Grey snorted but didn't say anything. The young man laughed and said, "He's trying to kill me, take him out, and I'll give it to you."

"Do we look like your servants? Drop your storage ring or I'll take it, along with your life." The leader of the group said coldly.

The face of the young man changed drastically, he thought he would be able to use these people to deter Grey. Only now did he understand that it was just his wishful thinking.

Grey chuckled mockingly, darting a glance at the young man, "Do you agree to my deal or theirs?"

The young man was conflicted for a while before saying, "I need it for my father, I'd rather die than lose it. This thing cost me everything I have, I will not give it up so easily."

"You do know that dying is not going to make your father any better, right?" Grey asked with a weird look.

Where the hell did this young man get his understanding of things from, why would he rather die than lose something he could probably get again?

The young man wanted to respond but froze, thinking about it, if he died, he wouldn't get any chance to save his father anymore.

"If I give it to you, will you help me?" He said through gritted teeth.

Grey thought about it for some time before sighing, "Don't worry, you can keep it."

The face of the young man changed drastically, if Grey didn't agree to help him, then he would not only lose the item, but he might also die as well.

"Please, I don't mind giving it to you, honestly." The young man said in panic.

The group were already advancing toward him with killing intent around them, it was clear that they wanted to kill him.

Grey shook his head with a sigh then said, "You can keep it, I'll help you. I was the one who delayed you in the first place."

After leaving the auction house, the young man ran quickly, disappearing from view, but with Grey's speed, it was impossible for the young man to escape from him.

The young man was surprised when he heard this, Grey wanted to rob him from the start, yet he changed his mind all of a sudden.

'Could it be because I said that it was for my father?' The young man thought to himself.

When he said this, he wasn't lying, but he didn't believe Grey would believe so easily. The fact that Grey didn't try to kill him already told him of Grey's character.

"Thank you." He hurriedly thanked him.

"Don't thank me, can you handle one of them?" Grey asked.

He didn't have a problem with fighting all three of them, but he didn't want to show too much of his strength. Besides, the young man should fight since he was the one who got the item in the end.

"Piece of cake." The young man replied.

"Alright, then I shall leave the leader to you. I'll take care of the other two." Grey said.

"Will you be..." The young man didn't finish his sentence before Grey's figure vanished.

Boom!

A blinding light burst out in front of him, followed by an explosion.

"You dare?!" An enraged roar was heard.

"Of course, what can you do about it?" Grey's arrogant voice came from where the explosion rang out.

The owner of the voice who asked Grey the question was about to attack when his expression changed. Grey had vanished with two of his comrades, leaving him with only the young man.

"I'm your opponent." The young man said with a smile.

"You'll die, after I'm done killing you, I'll kill that stupid friend of yours." The leader of the group said coldly.

"You think you can beat me? In your dreams. He might be able to, but you, you're still a little lacking." Compared to the way the young man acted when he was speaking with Grey, his arrogance had come back.

The black-cloaked man attacked, but his expression changed when he noticed something strange.

"What's that?!" He exclaimed in shock.
