Chapter 890 How Does His Brain Work?
Grey soon appeared close to Alec, he was already out of the Fusion State, so he was back to the Third stage of the Sage Plane.
Alec stared at him for some time as if he was a monster, technically, he did see him as one. Just like Grey, he was also in the Third stage of the Sage Plane, however, Grey managed to fight against multiple Peak Sage Plane experts on his own, he didn't even dare to call himself a genius in front of Grey.
"You're here, unharmed." He said while examining Grey.
"Yeah, it was quite a hassle, but I managed to escape." Grey replied casually.
Alec knew for a fact that Grey didn't 'manage' to escape, he left after causing massive destruction to the city. From the explosion he saw, half of the city is most likely destroyed by that attack.
The experts wouldn't want to cause such damage to their city, so Grey was the only person that came to mind.
"It's good that you're fine. Thank you for helping out today, I don't know what I'd have done." Alec thanked Grey for his help.
"It's alright, you were lucky I came on time." Grey replied.
He wasn't being proud or anything, had he not been around, Alec would most likely have been part of the people executed today for his seemingly foolish act of bravery.
Alec scratched his head awkwardly but didn't feel downcast by Grey's words.
The youths who were captured all walked up to Grey to thank him, Eva included. When she approached him, he sensed that she was a little nervous.
From all the contacts they have had, she had never been nervous before and had always been confident, being a smart individual, Grey guessed something was wrong.
"If you have anything to say, say it now." He said with an intimidating aura.
Eva froze, not expecting Grey to say this, and also act in such a way.
'Did he tell him about it?' She turned to look at Alec.
Alec shrugged, signifying that this was none of his business.
Eva knew that Grey was unconscious at the time she and Nathan arrived, so there was no way he would've known about what happened. The only person who saw them was Alec, and the relationship between Alec and Nathan wasn't all that good, but she did have a good relationship with him, so she assumed he wouldn't tell Grey.
Grey walked closer when he saw her reaction, his aura as intimidating as ever, and his eyes oozing a shocking killing intent, "Speak."
His voice was calm, but it sent shivers down the spine of Eva.
"I'm sorry about what happened, I tried to give you a healing tonic when we found you, but I didn't have any." Eva apologized, trying to cover up for Nathan.
"You're lying." Grey said coldly, his eyes half opened and his expression bland.
The other youths were not close to them, but seeing how Eva acted, they knew something was wrong. But after seeing what Grey did, even though they were not present, they decided to stay away from whatever was going on, even Alec was far from them, why should they go close?
Eva didn't speak a word when Grey said this, and paused, trying not to say anything else.
"Who was with you?" Grey asked. He could already guess who it was, but he wanted to hear from her.
Seeing that she was responding, he continued, "If I'm correct, Nathan. I never thought he would be such a coward, to be honest."
Grey's head went into overdrive as he started to think out multiple scenarios, after some time, and putting together everything he knew and some guesses, he came up with a conclusion. He didn't know if he was correct, but he felt he shouldn't be far off.
Nathan and Eva were the first people to find him since he heard the Faction gave an order for everyone to search for him, but he refused to help him. He most likely wanted him dead, but didn't want to do it himself so he stopped others from helping him. According to Void, he was with Alec when he found him, so this meant Alec intervened and helped him out of the place.
While thinking about everything, something struck him.
'Wait, how did they know I was severely injured?'
This was a troubling matter, he was alone in the Lutra realm, and there was no way people outside would know what was happening in the Lutra realm. At most, they would feel it when the realm forcefully ejected the man, but they shouldn't be able to know why.
The Elder outside the portal was the one that gave the order for Grey to be found. He was even specific that he fought a tough battle with someone very powerful.
Thinking about everything made his head hurt, but he decided to keep that at the back of his head for now. He would ask the Elder once he leaves this place.
"Nathan didn't want anyone to help me, you tried, but he stopped you, Alec found me and he knew he couldn't kill him so he let him take me. He later sent someone who doesn't seem to be afraid of the rules of the Faction to kill me, correct?" Grey said with a mild smile on his face.
Eva opened her mouth in shock when she heard Grey's words, it was so accurate that she couldn't even deny it. She was with Nathan when Foudre came over, he overheard him telling him of Alec's whereabouts.
"How did you know?" She asked.
She didn't even have the courage to deny it since she feared it might anger Grey.
"Simple, you." Grey answered, still with a smile on his face.
"Me?" Eva was confused, but then it hit her. Because of guilt, she became nervous when walking over to Grey.
He used that to pressure her and she spoke, even though she didn't say much, he was able to guess what happened.
'How does his brain work?!'
