Affinity: Chaos

"Bertram, are you going to go against me?" Grand Elder Archibald sneered.

When his attack was about to hit Grey, Bertram blocked it, although, he was pushed back in the process.

"I see no reason why an elderly like yourself would want to bully a junior." Bertram replied.

He was prepared to go against Elder Archibald.

"If it were before, you would've had some right to speak to me, but now, you're still lacking. The boy dared to kill someone from my lineage, I'm already showing mercy by not killing him." Grand Elder Archibald looked calm.

He was an expert in the Half God Plane, what right did Bertram, someone who was still an Elemental Sovereign have to go against him?

"So he can be killed but those from your lineage can't be killed?" Bertram said coldly, "You should know the rules of the world, those who dare to kill someone should be ready to be killed as well. Since Foudre couldn't kill him, then he's dead. So what? He's weak. The Faction doesn't need biased people."

While Bertram was speaking, he glanced at the three Grand Elders as well. He wasn't only speaking about Grand Elder Archibald's lineage, but those from the other Grand Elders and Elders' lineage in the Faction were also taking advantage of their background to bully some people in the Faction.

Bertram has been looking for a way to settle this issue for a while now, but he hasn't been able to get an audience with these Grand Elders. They've always been in seclusion, cultivating.

"As I said, it's not your place to teach this Old man the rules, neither is it his place to punish those from my lineage." Grand Elder Archibald snorted.

The area was dead silent as the Grand Elder faced off with the Faction Leader. Although the Faction Leader was weaker, he was still standing proudly. It was clear that he valued Grey greatly.

Grey looked at the figure standing in front of him, feeling a little touched.

'How can a Grand Elder be so petty?' Void asked internally.

'Some of these Old men put a lot of significance to their reputation. He feels me killing Foudre or whatever he's called is a blemish to his reputation.' Grey understood this.

He also knew that the only reason the Grand Elder was doing this was that he felt he didn't have an overly strong background.

Grand Elder Archibald looked at Grey, seeing his expression, he felt annoyed and attacked once again. This time, he didn't hold back.

Bertram tried to block the attack but he was sent flying this time.

Bang!

He slammed into the ground, but quickly rushed forward, in a bid to stop Grand Elder Archibald from attacking Grey.

But to someone as powerful as Grand Elder Archibald, he didn't need a lot of time to take care of someone as weak as Grey.

After sending Bertram flying, he stretched his hand at Grey.

Grey wanted to move, but his body was rooted to the ground, and he saw the hand of Grand Elder Archibald enlarge and cover his entire body.

He looked at Grand Elder Archibald defiantly, and to the shock of everyone, he exploded out with a powerful attack.

In front of someone as powerful as Grand Elder Archibald, no matter how powerful Grey was, his strength was nonexistent.

The Grand Elder's hand didn't even shake as he grabbed at Grey.

Just when he was about to hold Grey, a shocking scene took place.

His hand was pushed back by a gentle force before a figure appeared before Grey. The figure didn't look to be real and seemed to be made of spiritual energy.

"Huh? It hasn't even been long and he's already in danger?" The figure muttered.

He looked around and saw Grey's face and smiled, before turning around.

"Pyrmond Faction?" He raised a brow.

The figure who appeared was none other than the legendary figure in the Aurora Continent, Lucas Dawson, Grey's father.

"You're Lucas?" The Old man in the middle of the three other Grand Elders asked.

"I'm Lucas Dawson, Senior. Can I ask what crime my son committed that warranted a Half God attacking him?" Lucas' voice was soft, he didn't even glance at Grand Elder Archibald since he appeared, only focusing his gaze on the three Grand Elders.

The other Grand Elders were stronger than Grand Elder Archibald, and they were older as well.

When the others heard the name Lucas Dawson, their heads almost exploded, a few people contemplated if Grey was truly from the Dawson Family, but after they encountered Conor, their thoughts died. Some of them secretly asked if Grey was from the Dawson Family, but Conor denied it. Not just that, but given Grey's talent, the Dawson Family wouldn't risk sending him out alone to gain experience.

But now, they found out that Grey wasn't just from the Dawson Family, but he was the son of the legendary genius, Lucas Dawson. One has to know that although Lucas was powerful, he was also very easy to talk to, the person they are more afraid of is his wife, Martha. She was known to be overbearing and unreasonable. Her strength however was there for all to see, she was weaker than Lucas, but she might not lose out against Grand Elder Archibald.

"He's your son?" The Grand Elder asked again, pointing at Grey.

Lucas looked at the Old man but nodded.

"This is between them." The Old man pushed the blame on Grand Elder Archibald.

They've been curious about Grey's identity when they sensed the strength of the person guarding him.

This could be said to be an opportunity to know his identity, hence they left Grey to Grand Elder Archibald. If he wasn't from a top force, then he could die. He was a genius, but he wasn't the only genius.

Grand Elder Archibald's expression changed and he looked at Lucas, his expression changing repeatedly, but being an expert in the Half God Plane, he spoke up, "He killed someone from my lineage, I'm only punishing him."

"Did you kill him?" Lucas turned to Grey.

"Yes, he wanted to kill me, but he was not capable, I killed him in return." Grey didn't hide it and spoke up.

"Good." Lucas nodded in satisfaction.

"You can see who's right and wrong, what do you plan to do now?" Lucas looked at Grand Elder Archibald, his eyes still calm.
