Chapter 734 - I Believe We Can Work Something Out!

Crash! Bang!

The Dual Elementalist was sent flying, and before she could get to the ground, Grey was already waiting for her.

With a wave of his hand, an earth pillar hit her, sending her into the air. After being hit by the first earth pillar, five more appeared in the sky, all creating a circle. She was hit by another earth pillar which sent her in the direction of another pillar.

This went on for a few seconds longer, and the crowd watched on in pity. Grey was merciless in his battle, and from what he was doing, everyone knew the reason he was doing this was that the young ladies troubled his friends. From the small time they had seen him, he rarely spoke with others.

"I never knew he was evil." Kyle said.

"You have no idea what he's capable of. He's not really evil like Klaus, but whenever someone close to him is threatened, he becomes this. If not for the fact that this was only a bet, things would've been worse for them. Honestly, I'd rather face Klaus than face an annoyed Grey." Alice clarified things to Kyle who was starting to look at Grey in a new light.

"Oh, the overprotective type." Kyle understood what Alice meant.

Grey was among the type of people who were very protective of their close friends and family.

The battle ended a few seconds later since Grey didn't want the young lady to suffer for too long. Although she was being hit by the earth pillars, they didn't really cause any physical injuries to her. Her innards might be rocked, but it was nothing serious.

Grey made sure she didn't pass out since someone had to honor the bet.

"Aren't you going to announce the winner?" He turned to Joyner.

Joyner still had his mouth wide open as he watched how Grey brutally beat up the young ladies. He gulped in fear, thinking of what Grey might do to someone if it was a true life and death battle. The fact that he could do this in a spar showed that he was a ruthless individual.

He walked over to the platform to declare Grey the winner. It wasn't as if everyone didn't know, but to make it seem official.

The young lady who was conscious looked at Grey with hatred, then his eyes turned to Klaus who was already on the platform, looking at him with a mischievous smile.

"The stones, hand them over." Klaus stretched out his hand.

The young lady was still in a kneeling position, trying to catch her breath. Klaus didn't even give her any time before he came to draw his debt.

Since they won the bet, it meant the stones were his, so he had every right to ask for them.

The stones weren't a problem for that young lady, she could afford them, but for some reason, she felt a knot in her heart. Losing to Grey was something she still couldn't believe actually happened. What she found more unbelievable was the manner of their loss. Grey beat them like they weren't even able to use their elements.

They were two geniuses, Grey was only a stage ahead of them, how did he do it?

"What are you?" She didn't answer Klaus' question, instead, she questioned Grey.

"I'm me." Grey said before stretching out his hand, "Now, pay up."

The young lady almost went crazy when she saw this. She thought Klaus was crazy, but it seemed like Grey was even crazier.

"I can't give up my chance in the competition." The young lady said through gritted teeth.

"Even better, come, I believe we can work something out." Klaus said with a friendly smile.

Reynolds and Alice looked at the young lady with pity, whenever Klaus made such a face, he was about to rip someone off.

This was Klaus' plan from the start. The five hundred thousand essence stones were only the appetizers. Requesting for this would show the young lady that he was a greedy or money-hungry type, which meant she would try to buy her way back into the competition.

Since she made the bet with Klaus and his friends, they could naturally change the stakes as long as both parties agreed to it.

Grey shook his head and let Klaus take care of things there. He went back to their seat. He was barely exhausted from the battle.

"Just how strong are you?" Kyle asked.

Some youths from the Raiden and Asterope Faction were currently seated close to them.

"I'm not sure." Grey replied.

This was the truth, his strength couldn't be estimated with these types of battles. Only when he's using all eight elements would he be able to show his full strength. At the moment, he was unaware of his real strength.

'I can't wait till I get to a stage where I wouldn't need to fear showing all my elements. That will be the time I'll be at my peak.' Grey sighed internally.

Sometimes, he thought of ways to show all his elements. But he hasn't been able to come up with a good excuse yet. He planned to start using five elements soon enough.

Since four elements were the rarity here, there must've been times in history when someone would come out with five elements. He wasn't sure if there were any people with five elements currently, but he planned to use them.

This would give him more versatility when fighting, and he could use more elements as well, increasing his strength.

The youths from the Factions felt Grey was arrogant with his words. Everyone knew the extent of their strength, so saying this only made it look as if he wanted to look mysterious.

Kyle also felt maybe Grey didn't want to tell him how powerful he is, so he didn't ask about it any longer.

Klaus and the young lady walked back some minutes later, and to the shock of everyone, she apologized. Not just her, but the Multi Elementalist had regained consciousness and also accompanied them.

The discussion between Klaus and the young lady was unknown to the others, but she didn't seem to be as angry as she used to be. Of course, there was a pained expression which meant Klaus had ripped her off of essence stones.
