Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 493: You’re Vicious, I Like It!

Grey stepped down from the platform, his expression was worse compared to the group from the mansion. The lady just placed him in a difficult position, and what was annoying about everything was that he didnʼt even have a say in it.

After Grey stepped down, the lady flew down, landing by his side.

With no one to stop them anymore, the group who was mid-air all flew towards the platform. Claraʼs figure could be seen still shaking from the shock of the lightning element in the attack Grey used. Because there was also fire in the attack, she was b?r?ly bleeding.

The old man in blue hurriedly covered her with glowing blue water, and Claraʼs shaking figure stopped moving altogether. The old man grabbed her hand, and his expression changed drastically. He looked at Grey with furious eyes.

”Donʼt look at me like that, sheʼs even lucky I kept her alive,” Grey said coldly.

”You crippled her! How can you be so vile?” Claraʼs father asked angrily.

”Iʼm sorry, I only attacked by impulse,” Grey said.

This was exactly what the old man said when Clara tried to stab him. Although he was focused on her, he still overheard them.

Claraʼs fatherʼs eyes turned red from anger, with veins popping out from the side of his head and even his eyes.

He gritted his teeth, holding himself back from attacking.

”Youʼre vicious, I like it,” The lady by Greyʼs side commented, but from her tone, one could tell she wasnʼt in any way angry with him, there was even a hint of acknowledgment.

”Alright, weʼll be leaving now. Iʼll take what I want when we come back in a week. Also, just a reminder, if you by chance call your friends to help you hold me back, then ?ssume your family never existed,” The lady said to the old men.

Void who had been gone while the battle was going on suddenly appeared, jumping into Greyʼs shoulder. He came from the bushes by the side, so no one suspected anything.

The old menʼs expressions turned even more severe, from the ladyʼs cultivation stage, they all knew she was someone they couldnʼt afford to offend. But this didnʼt mean they could let this go.

Since she personally set up this challenge for Grey, then they were going to make sure he dies mid-battle. As long as they werenʼt the ones who caused his death, the lady would let them go.

”Give out the order, I need the strongest genius in the city below twenty years. As long as they can defeat this boy, then they will be rewarded heavily. Head to the Pyro Faction, Iʼm friends with the Faction Leader, tell him of this incident, he will know what to do,” The old man in blue gave out a series of instructions while bringing Claraʼs body inside.

He had stabilized her condition, but it would be incredibly difficult for her to cultivate again. What was depressing was that her cultivation was completely destroyed, this meant that unlike the people from the Smith family who slowly lost their cultivation, she lost it instantly.

….

Outside the compound.

”Are we really coming back in a week?” Grey asked.

”Of course, we didnʼt take much from them this time,” The lady replied while looking at Void with a grin.

”Arenʼt you scared that they will plan an ambush?” Grey asked.

ʼWhat is the use of coming back when youʼve already taken some things?ʼ He thought.

”They wouldnʼt dare. I can decide to stay here for ten years, living in their house, and they wouldnʼt dare to be rude to me. The reason for this is because, Iʼm stronger, and my background is something they can not contend with,” The lady said.

”This is bullying, you know that, right?” Grey couldnʼt help but say.

”This is how the world is Grey, the weak have no right to speak before the strong. Take for instance, I told you to fight against your will, were you able to refuse? No. Why? Youʼre weak. If you want to dictate your life in this world, then be strong, be the strongest person out there. Only then will you have your life in your hands,” The lady spoke as they walked out of the rich district.

Grey stared at her, not speaking a word. He couldnʼt refute because her words were the truth. Even in the Azure continent, he was forced to run and hide because of the Emperorʼs selfish d?s?r?.

”Where are we going to now?” He asked since he noticed they were walking out of the city.

”Remember I told you if you impressed me Iʼll show you a thing or two in the lightning element. Well, todayʼs your lucky day, although you didnʼt impress me, I decided to train you so you wouldnʼt embarrass me when we come back,” The lady replied.

Grey looked at her, although he would very much like to improve, it wasnʼt like he was the one who made the challenge. If not for the fact that he was scared of the lady, he wouldʼve taken the fall in the battle, letting Clara defeat him.

But alas, if he lost easily, the lady would definitely beat him up. She already threatened him before the battle anyway so he knew she wasnʼt lying.

A few hours later.

”Alright, before we begin training, itʼs time to share to loot,” The lady said while sitting on the ground.

Grey and Void naturally knew what she was talking about, so they sat down close to her. Void was the one in the middle of the group, and with a small shake of his paw, items appeared on the ground.

”Oh… this is a good sword. Grey catch, you can use this during the challenge,” The lady picked a sword with a blue turtle carved on the hilt.

Grey took the sword, studying it, ”Wouldnʼt they know that itʼs from their treasury?”

”Howʼs that any of our concern? It isnʼt like this is the only one in the world.. Come on, take some items, you have a lot of drills to go through,” The lady said nonchalantly, before urging Grey to take some things.
