Chapter 792 A Nice Haul



Chapter 792 A Nice Haul

"You saved us." The young lady in the cage that was with the group who crossed paths with Grey at the town he first noticed the activity of the horned race approached him.

She had seen him, so she felt it would be better to meet him first before thanking the others.

"They did, I was only watching from the side." Grey pointed at Gil and his group.

Even though he wanted to try to save them from the start, he still wasn't the one who did it in the end, he only offered some assistance after he was forced out.

The young lady didn't know how to respond after Grey said these words. She only wanted to thank him, but she never thought he wouldn't accept her gratitude.

She could only awkwardly bow and say, "You lent a helping hand, so you contributed to it. Thanks for doing that."

After saying this, she turned to the group of five and thanked them wholeheartedly. Grey didn't want this, and she knew it would be wrong not to appreciate these people since they were the main instigators of their rescue.

"It's okay, we were only fighting for humanity." The young man who was the leader of the group said.

While they were still speaking, Grey used the opportunity to leave. He didn't like being around new people, well, people in general, except for a selected few.

"Hey." Gil was the first person who noticed Grey was leaving. He drew the attention of the others to it.

Grey paused and looked at them, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"We plan on raiding the Capital, and we would need someone like you. With your space element, you would be of great use." The young man who was the leader of the group told Grey their plans.

"The Capital?" Grey asked with a raised brow.

The young man nodded.

Grey thought about it before asking, "What about the top level experts there?"

"We have our means of going undetected. How do you think we were able to sneak her in?" The young man pointed at the young lady who was part of those kept in the cage that was being transported out.

"Hmm, fair point. Anyway, I'm not interested in that. There's a reason I came here, and although I'm quite tempted by the offer of raiding the Capital, I don't really trust you people enough to team up with you on a potentially dangerous mission." Grey didn't mince his words, he didn't trust them, so why would he go on a mission with them.

What if after acquiring the treasures, they decide to attack him and take his share of the treasure?

These geniuses weren't people he could deal with alone. Fighting against one might be something he could still do, but once two or more are involved, fleeing would be his only option.

"If I recall correctly, more of your people came in here as well, you can team up with them." He added before leaving decisively.

There was no use in staying behind. He knew they understood the meaning of his words.

"Such a cautious figure. A shame he couldn't help us though, and I really liked him." Gil shook his head in pity.

They naturally understood what he meant by his words. Grey was alone, and they were already five. If they added the others who came here with them, their numbers would go up by ten. No matter how powerful Grey was, he wouldn't be able to fight against them.

If they were regular geniuses like the type caught by the horned men, then Grey would have a good chance, but against them, he didn't fancy his chances at all.

"Huh? Where's the corpse?" One of the five noticed the corpse of the horned young lady they killed was no longer there.

They looked around and noticed it was the same for the other corpses as well. Every single corpse from the horned race was nowhere to be seen.

They couldn't help but turn to look in the direction Grey headed. He was their biggest suspect.

"They were here when he left."

Someone spoke out from the group saved. It was surprisingly the young man who wanted to order Grey when they met in the town. Never would he think that he would stand up for Grey, but he naturally couldn't let these people accuse him while he's innocent.

"Then who took them?" The young lady who noticed the disappearance of the corpses asked.

"Look closely, and you'll see they all went underground." The young man responded.

When they looked at it, they couldn't help but notice the slight change in the ground.

While fighting, Grey avoided using the earth element, and substituted it with the water element, so none of them knew he had the earth element as part of his arsenal. He had already shown four elements, so they would never expect that he had five.

When he used the darkness element, he made sure to be as subtle as possible, so they wouldn't notice it. Before leaving, he marked all the spots where the corpses were. So after getting to around five hundred meters, he used the earth element to swoop them away.

Compared to when he's in the Aurora Continent, his reach with the earth element here was insane. It could travel almost one kilometer.

A few kilometers away, Grey and Void were staring at all the horns they had gotten from the horned men killed.

"This is a nice haul. I still don't know where we can sell them though." Grey commented with a pleased smile.

"Didn't you learn forgemastering?" Void asked.

"Well, I'm still in the basics. And I haven't even attempted anything relating to it in a long time now." Grey explained.

"You still have those books I took from the Academy for you?" Void inquired.

"Yeah, they're somewhere in my ring." Grey nodded.

The duo continued their conversation as they headed back towards the Capital once again. He still had plans of searching for treasures there. He wouldn't be the one going.

With Void's strength, it would be very difficult for anyone here to sense him. So he could basically go in and out at will.
