Chapter 581 - Meeting Old Man Gerald Again II
The trio stayed in the woods, and Alice spoke of her experiences so far. Grey didn't speak much, just nodding to her words as he continued communicating with Void on the other side.
A few minutes later, Void came back.
"All clear, we can go now," He said to Alice.
"How is she?" Alice asked.
"Well, I can't really say," Void replied.
He did see her, but her expression was blank, so he didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, and it wasn't like he could read minds.
Alice nodded to Grey and Reynolds before leaving with Void.
After the duo left.
Grey and Reynolds were left alone.
"I'll be communicating with Void, he'll give up an update, if we need to crash the party or not," Grey said to Reynolds.
Reynolds nodded, hoping deep down that they crashed the party. That would be more exciting, and since Klaus was not here with them, he would have something to brag about in front of him. Klaus loved doing things like this, so if he hears of it, he will be heartbroken since he didn't take part in it.
….
Frost City.
The Reiss Family compound.
A fissure suddenly appeared behind a bush and Alice walked out, with Void on her shoulder.
She looked around with multiple emotions in her eyes, her surroundings soon changed as Void took her into the building. After a few more teleportations, they appeared inside a room.
Sasha could be seen sitting alone in the chair, facing the mirror on the table. There was makeup on her face, and it was impossible to hide her beauty. Unfortunately, there was no smile on her face, she just stared at her reflection blankly.
Her eyes which were half closed suddenly opened wide when she saw a familiar face in the mirror, she thought she was hallucinating before hurriedly turning around to look behind her, and the face she saw was exactly the one she saw on the mirror.
"Alice," She called out softly, her voice a little rough while placing her hand on her cheek.
"It's me, sis," Alice rested her face on her palm.
"Why are you here? Quick leave before they see you," Sasha quickly recalled her sister's situation before grabbing Alice's hands.
"It's okay sis, they can't catch me," Alice replied quietly.
"No, you should leave now," Sasha said, she didn't believe Alice's words.
There are multiple Overlord Plane Elementalists outside, and even though Alice was also in the Overlord Plane, there was no way she could contend against them on her own.
"It's okay sis, they can't capture me. I sneaked in here without being caught, so I can also leave as well," Alice explained.
"Oh," Sasha exclaimed softly in realization.
"Sis, so you approve of this marriage?" Alice asked.
"Do I have a choice? If I refuse, father will be under even more pressure," Sasha lowered her head.
"Since you don't agree to it, then it's alright. That's all I wanted to hear," Alice smiled.
"What are you planning to do?" Sasha asked.
"Don't worry sis, you won't be getting married to that stupid prince," Alice smiled.
"Alice, don't do anything rash," Sasha warned.
"I'm not, my friends are," Alice said with a light smile.
"Father will not be able to fight against the Emperor," Sasha pleaded.
"He will have to go into hiding with the family. All this will end soon, so he should just choose to go into hiding for the meantime. I'll speak to him now, don't worry about the marriage okay, it will not hold," Alice said.
Sasha shook her head, she knew how stubborn she was. She suddenly recalled how Alice and her friends were being hunted down by the Emperor, if they showed up, they would definitely be apprehended.
"Take care sis, I'll go over to explain to father. If he doesn't pick a decision soon, it's his problem. I cannot stand by and watch my only sister get married to a moron," Alice smiled.
"Alice, stop, don't do this," Sasha pleaded.
"Void, let's go," Alice tapped Void.
Sasha was about to grab Alice but she grabbed thin air.
Alice and Void vanished, gone from the room.
….
Outside Frost City.
Grey and Reynolds were still speaking when Grey heard the news from Void.
"Looks like we're causing a huge ruckus, nice," Grey said.
"Haha, yes!" Reynolds exclaimed in happiness.
Now, all they needed to do was wait until the time of the wedding before they showed up and sabotage it. Reynolds' plan was to slap the Instructor from the Starlight Academy closest to him.
Of course he wouldn't just carelessly slap anyone, he would pick an opponent he knew he could defeat without the help of his Elemental Warrior.
"Will they be coming out?" Reynolds asked.
"No need, we'll meet them up in the city. Come, let's go, I have an old acquaintance here," Grey smiled as he held onto Reynolds and disappeared.
….
Frost City.
Lenz Manor.
Old man Gerald has been having the time of his life since Grey disappeared. Especially since he hadn't heard about Grey being seen, it meant he was doing a good job with hiding. Even though it wasn't much of a concern to him, he still didn't want his little friend to die.
He was sitting in his office leisurely drinking tea when a figure suddenly appeared.
He stood up and tried to attack, but he was greeted with a familiar voice and face.
"Hello, it's been a while," Grey said as he appeared.
Old man Gerald who was already on his feet stared at the figure in front of him in shock. The Fifth Prince was about to get married and most of the people coming here were in the Overlord Plane.
What the hell was Grey doing here?!
"Why are you here?" He asked.
"To stop the wedding," Grey said nonchalantly.
Old man Gerald's leg gave way and he fell on his seat, dejected.
What the hell did Grey just say?
