Chapter 1793 The McCall Family

Grey rushed in the direction of the McCall Family, getting there only after a few minutes. When he entered the McCall Family Manor, he was taken straight to a Hall. The number of people present took him by surprise. The old man from the McCall Family was present, and beside him was the young man who looked to be around Greyʼs age. Not just him, but there were multiple Elders, as well as youngsters standing in the Hall. In short, it was packed with well over a hundred people. Everyone present had a sombre expression, the scene of the old man almost self-destructing is probably still playing in their heads. Thereʼs also the looming aura of death hanging around them. If Grey couldnʼt deal with the City Lord, they were done for. But could he?

The moment Grey took a step into the Hall, the Old manʼs eyes were locked on him, and relief could be seen in them. After the initial relief was a hint of worry.

The second Grey made his appearance, he was instantly the center of attention.

”Your Excellency, welcome to the McCall Family Manor. Iʼm sorry I couldnʼt properly welcome Your Excellency, the situation in the family didnʼt permit me.” The Old man from the McCall Family rushed to stand up as he bowed to show his respect to Grey. Although he was scared of Grey, he felt a little aggrieved that they couldnʼt host the other party properly since he was their savior.

Grey isnʼt someone who cared about things like this to begin with, so he waved it off, ”Senior, thereʼs no need for the formality.”

His eyes darted around, and seeing so many people stare at him, he scratched his nose and said, ”Senior, Iʼd like to discuss a private matter with you, I wonder if Senior is willing?”

He didnʼt want to waste any time. Since he was here, then he should take the treasure as soon as possible. According to Sir Astarot, this treasure will make him grow stronger. With his current strength, escaping is the best he could do, he couldnʼt even use his strength to fully intimidate others. If he was confident in dealing with the City Lord who was hidden, then he wouldʼve taken the treasure.

Void found a treasure in the City Lordʼs Manor, but it was protected by a powerful expert, which was unsurprisingly the City Lord himself. Since neither Grey nor Void could take it away without his knowledge, he gave up on it. Now that he came to the McCall Family, his first thought was improving his strength. That way he could better protect them from the City Lordʼs Manor.

The Old man from the McCall Family didnʼt have any objections to having a private conversation with Grey. He told everyone else to excuse them, leaving only the duo in the Hall. The old man didnʼt dare to sit while Grey was standing.

Grey noticed this and took a seat opposite the Old manʼs seat. After taking his seat, he motioned for the old man to take a seat. The old man didnʼt refuse and took his seat.

The Old man was a little worried, he didnʼt know who Grey was, or why he stepped out to help them. He didnʼt expect Grey to come back after openly going against the City Lordʼs Manor, but to his surprise, Greu was standing in front of him unscathed. This proved that Greyʼs identity isnʼt ordinary. He also knew that Greyʼs strength is largely superior to his.

”Your Excellency, may I be bold enough to ask who you are?” The Old man asked to break the silence.

”You can call me Grey.” Grey replied offhandedly, his gaze resting on the Old man.

The Old man felt a bit uncomfortable under Greyʼs gaze, but he didnʼt sense any malice, so he calmed his raging heart and put on a smile, ”So itʼs Young Lord Grey. Haha, a true hero among the youths!”

A short bout of laughter later, the Old man asked, ”What advice does Young Lord Grey have for this old man?”

Hearing the Old manʼs words, Grey didnʼt hold back and told him the reason for his visit. The genius from the Vaergahl Family died in the McCall Family Manor, and the place of his final rest is where the opportunity awaited.

The Old manʼs face changed when he heard the name of the Vaergahl Family genius. He didnʼt believe that the expert from their records who is said to have left an inheritance here would be the reason someone like Grey came to help them.

”Young Lord Grey, itʼs not that I donʼt believe you, but this is a very important matter and not something I can handle alone.” The Old man said with a serious tone.

Grey noticed that since mentioning the name of the genius from the Vaergahl Family, the Old manʼs countenance changed, there was even a hint of panic in them. The panic isnʼt something Grey missed.

He furrowed his brows as he realized that things might not be as simple as he thought. Since the Old man had such a reaction, it meant that there was definitely something wrong, and it involved the final resting place of the genius from the Vaergahl Family.

”Does Senior need to invite others? If so, I can wait.” Grey spoke up after a short silence, he didnʼt want to miss out on this since he was here. Sir Astarot told him that it was impossible for even a Peak Sovereign to unseal a cave abode sealed by that genius.

The geniusʼs final resting place is a cave abode here, and according to the information he passed on to Sir Astarot, he placed a seal on the cave abode. The method to enter this place needed one to be like Grey or that genius, having Dragon scales while being human. Other than this method, only an Elementalist at least twice as strong as him can break it. In the entire Aurora Continent, the number of Elementalists with double the strength of a Peak Sovereign were few, and they were all Half God Plane Elementalists. This secret world lacked that, so opening the cave abode is impossible.
