Affinity:Chaos,1255 Did I Fail You? - Read free novels online

Grey just sent an Elder who was at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane flying with a single attack, while Klaus was able to block the attack of a Peak Elemental Venerable with such ease. Neither of them showed any signs of difficulty when accomplishing this feat.

“What’s going on here?” The Old man asked with a cold look, his eyes concentrated on Grey’s figure. This was the young man who made him stop his attack. If not for Grey, he would’ve attacked the duo the second he appeared.

He sensed some disturbance in the air, but he didn’t think it would be anything serious so he didn’t bother too much about it since the Faction has always been a safe place.

Only after Elder Thorunn attacked did he sense the abnormalities, but before he came over, the Elder had been sent flying by a young man who wasn’t even close to one-fourth of the Elder’s age.

“He held my friend captive for an unnecessary reason and was trying to have his way with her.” Grey stepped forward and spoke up. He was the one with the highest status, so he was naturally the one who had to speak up.

“She brought fake herbs that nearly cost my son his life. Shouldn’t I hold her accountable for it?” Elder Thorunn asked, incensed. He was embarrassed that Grey sent him flying in one attack, but he would never back down in front of so many people.

“The Braun Family has been delivering the same herbs to your Faction for decades and there have never been any issues. Why is it that there’s only an issue when she came over to deliver the herbs?” Grey interrogated, he looked Elder Thorunn straight in the eyes, “Why would you take her from the cell she was held captive in and take her to your place if you weren’t trying to have your way with her?”

The Old man who was standing mid-air looked at Elder Thorunn and asked coldly, “Is this true?”

“He’s obviously lying, Grand Elder, I didn’t falsely accuse the little girl. And you can’t find her in my building. You can search.” Elder Thorunn replied with a wronged face.

“Then why’s she walking out of the underground building now?” Grey asked with a smile.

Two guards appeared beside him, both incapacitated. Void appeared on his shoulder with his usual nonchalant look. He didn’t even bother with the people present as he started to clean his paws.

“You wanted them to take her out of your place. I already figured you’d do something like that.” Grey’s voice made Elder Thorunn shiver.

“You… you’re lying on my good name. I’ve never seen this lady in my life.” Elder Thorunn stammered.

“Then how did you apprehend her if you haven’t seen her before?” Klaus asked coldly, “The guards in the dungeons were the ones who told us you took her away. Mister Grand Elder, you can ask the guards while we’re here. No need to take him with you since he can intimidate them into lying.”

The Grand Elder took a glance at Ralf, who nodded to affirm Grey and Klaus’ words.

Grey, Klaus, Luthera, Ralf, and Elder Thorunn followed the Grand Elder and went to a more secluded place.

The Grand Elder didn’t want the matter to escalate. From what he knew about Elder Thorunn, he was confident Grey and Klaus weren’t lying, but he obviously can’t say that out loud.

….

In the Grand Elder’s manor.

“Thorunn, what’s the meaning of this? Even if you want to have your way with these girls, can’t you be more careful with the people?” The Grand Elder was annoyed.

He took Elder Thorunn to another room and questioned angrily.

“She’s a girl from a family where the strongest person is only in the Mid stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane, I had no idea she has connections with those two.” Elder Thorunn dropped his head in fear. He knew the Grand Elder had caught him and didn’t dare to make the matter worse since the Grand Elder was the only one who could save him from the hands of Grey and Klaus.

For some reason, he felt if Klaus was the one who attacked, he wouldn’t have had these light injuries. From the looks of things, Klaus was emotionally attached to the young lady and was more furious, Grey was the more rational one and knew that fatally injuring an Elder in his Faction was a form of disrespect and total disregard for a Faction which the Faction Elders and Leader would not take lightly.

“The one who attacked you is Lucas’ son. You know we can’t afford to offend such a figure.” The Grand Elder said.

When Elder Thorunn heard the name, Lucas, he felt his body go cold. There’s only one Lucas the Grand Elder will be wary of, Lucas Dawson, the terrifying genius of the Dawson Family. There’s also Martha who was his partner, they were both freakish entities. Thinking of it, he couldn’t help but feel grateful that he was weaker than Grey, if not, he didn’t even know what to say if he had accidentally harmed or even killed either of the duo.

….

While the Grand Elder and Elder Thorunn were speaking in one room, Grey, Klaus, Luthera, and Ralf were left in the Hall, awaiting them.

“How are you?” Klaus asked Luthera softly.

“I’m fine. What took you so long?” Luthera pouted angrily.

“To be honest, we would’ve arrived a few days earlier, but I was goofing off. I didn’t know you were in danger.” Klaus answered truthfully.

If they had followed Grey’s words and rushed to the Braun Family the first time, they would’ve gotten here a day or two earlier, but Klaus wanted to goof off, which delayed them by a day or so.

“You’re lucky you came on time, if not, I would’ve broken off all connections with you.” Luthera spoke gently while resting her head on Klaus’ shoulder.

“I called out for you repeatedly when he brought me to his house a few minutes ago, you’re lucky you showed up.”

“I told you if you’re in any danger, call my name, and I will show up. Did I fail you?”

“No, no you didn’t.”
