Chapter 1259 Use Him As Bait

Klaus didn't speak any further, since Grey wanted him to stop for the moment, then he would. Besides, he was just getting started. It would be a shame if these people didn't have some sort of control over their emotions.

With Grey speaking up, the men in the area had a change of heart. He spoke in a manner that washed away all the anger they were previously feeling. To be honest, they didn't have any reasons to be upset with them, if not for the way Klaus had been speaking since they showed their faces, there was no reason for them to feel angered by them.

"It's okay, I understand the impulsiveness youngsters can have." One of the men replied with a smile.

He was the only one who didn't seem to have any issues with the duo's presence in the meeting. When they were discussing previously, he was also the one against others wanting to take the secret realm from the Dawson Family.

"We should continue the discussion, don't you guys think so?" He asked the others with a raise of his brow.

If anyone wanted to cause a problem due to Klaus' statement, then that person was probably up to no good.

The others, although annoyed, decided to continue with their conversation. However, to the surprise of some of the people present there, they didn't speak of forcefully taking the secret realm from the hands of the Dawson Family, rather, they moved on to another issue, necromancers.

Necromancers have planted spies in every top Faction or Family over the past hundred years, and it was starting to become an issue. Especially now that the seal was weakening.

The current state of affairs wouldn't allow them to let such people grow in the Factions or Families. The best thing to do was to wipe these people out to remove any hidden problems for the future.

The main problem stands in locating these people. A few of them could be picked out, but not all of them were as useless as those few. In most Factions, the ones found were only those below the Elemental Sovereign Plane. Getting those in the Elemental Sovereign Plane was the task that lay ahead of them.

"Aren't they searching for a way to kill him? He should be the easiest way to bring them out." Klaus pointed at Grey.

The others in the meeting turned to look at Klaus and then turned their attention to Grey. The Gnomes did want him dead, and given the loyalty necromancers have for Gnomes, there's a high chance that they would want to kill Grey at all costs if the opportunity presents itself.

"That's not a bad idea, but it's too dangerous. I don't think Lucas would want to endanger the life of his precious son."

"The boy is here, all we need is his consent and then we can go ahead with the plan."

"Setting an Elemental Venerable against a Sovereign is just sending him to his death. I'm not in support of this idea, and kid, I'll advise you to do the same."

"Why are you so against us getting anything good? Are you one of the ones planted in a Faction?"

As expected, not everyone was in support of sending Grey on such a dangerous mission. They all knew that Grey might most likely lose his life, even if they set up a lot of protections, it still wouldn't mean anything. If a top Sovereign wanted to kill him, before others would arrive, he would be dead without a doubt.

While they were arguing about if Grey should do it or not, Grey was staring at the situation with an expressionless face. He didn't know if he should be happy about Klaus' suggestion or not. It was a brilliant way to fish out the necromancers who were planted in the Factions. Nevertheless, it was dangerous, too dangerous.

If things don't go well, he would most likely die before any help comes. As much as he wanted to help find those people, he didn't want to carelessly lose his life.

Klaus wasn't worried about anything, he looked at Grey with a confident expression. He nodded at him as if suggesting that he should agree to it.

"Have an idea?" Grey asked with a whisper.

"Yeah, just play along. If any of them is a necromancer, we will be able to know. Will we be receiving any help?" Klaus thought for a while before asking.

"Since my father wants to make them angry, he should come. I can't say for sure. But I can sense that we're being followed by a powerhouse." Grey replied.

Their voices were almost inaudible to themselves, much less anyone else. They were certain these people wouldn't be able to hear what they were saying. To be on the safer side, they also protected the sound and it only sounded after getting to the ears of the other person.

Grey and Klaus discussed secretly, and so did the men in the room. They were all arguing about possibly sending Grey on such a dangerous mission. Only a few of them were against the idea, the others were stronger behind it. It wasn't like Grey was related to them. And if Grey were to die by any chance, it would be a piece of good news for them.

Lucas was already enough to make them think twice when it came to the Dawson Family, if Grey were to grow to his level, there was a large chance that he would be even more frightening than Lucas. That wasn't something they all wanted. If the genius isn't from their Family or Faction, they didn't want them to be too strong.

"Kid, accept this. You will be doing a great job in making the world a safer place."

"Yes, don't worry. You can start from my Faction. There's no way the information of this plan would leak out."

"No, come to my Family first, we can provide you with the ultimate protection against whoever dares to attack you."

Even without Grey agreeing to do it, they were already arguing about where he should head first. They were all aware that the plan might be exposed after the first top expert had been killed, so they all wanted to clean their Factions or Family first.
