Chapter 1429 A Dangerous Life

The group released the humans from the cages and inspected them at the behest of Aries, after ensuring their well-being, they let them leave, giving them directions back to their town.
The people were grateful, but there was little they could offer to people of Grey and his friends' level. The group weren't too interested in getting anything from them anyway, so they left the place after this.
"What now?" Klaus asked.
"We should get the guy that's hiding in the Phoenix Faction." Grey replied.
"What about the Necromancers hideout?" Aries gave Grey a questioning look.
"We'll sort it out on our way out of here. We've spent too much time here." Grey answered her truthfully.
He wanted them to continue their journey as soon as possible. He was the reason they've been doing all these missions. It would be bad if any of them were to get seriously injured while working on a mission for a Faction they have almost no affiliation with.
"Oh, right, right." Aries nodded.
She forgot the group were on a journey. To be honest, she had gotten used to Klaus, Reynolds, and Alice helping her out with these missions that she actually forgot she has been spending only a few days with them.
Given the situations they've gone through, she felt like they've spent years together. These battles has been exhilarating, to a certain extent, she didn't want this to end. This was the first time in her life she had lived on the edge, and it was a thrilling experience to say the least.
Alice smiled when she saw Aries' expression, she knew what it meant, she didn't want them to leave. Actually, this is how she always feels whenever the group is going separate ways. There was no way she would be able to get this excitement if she traveled with others or even alone.
Unlike most, Klaus and Grey were very daring, and as long as they had a chance of winning, they would jump into an army of thousands without looking back. This was the type of life she had grown with since leaving the Lunar Academy, and not having to be in such a scenario felt like hell.
From the short time she spent with Aries, she could tell she was one who liked fighting just like her. However, there was no way for her to engage in such daring acts on her own, nor would she want to endanger the lives of her fellow Faction members for her personal pleasure.
Klaus didn't speak much, he turned to Grey, "So we're going over to meet that guy?"
Grey nodded, he knew Klaus was referring to the man.
'I don't even know his name.' Grey chuckled when he recalled he didn't bother to ask of the man's name, and the man was too intrigued with Grey that he didn't even bother to tell him what his name was.
The group took to the air and rushed in the direction of the town the man resided.
….
Some hours later.
"Who would've thought this place was like this?" Klaus commented when he saw the busy streets of the town.
The town was completely different from what they saw the first time they came here. This town, which was almost like a graveyard the last time they came was bustling with activity.
"Yeah, you can see just how much harm one person can cause to a place." Grey looked into the town, his gaze resting on an unassuming cabin.
"That's where he's located. I've told him of our presence, he will contact the person now. According to him, the person usually responds within a few hours." Grey explained, then said, "Let's hope he comes fast."
The others didn't say anything and all disguised themselves, before slowly disappearing into the busy town.
The group soon mixed with the crowd, all with a distinct appearance, different from what they looked like.
The person coming is from the Phoenix Faction and should have the position of an Elder, at the very least. If said person appears, the person will most definitely recognize the faces of Grey and his friends, Aries included. Grey and his friends were pretty popular during the trial, so it was normal that he would recognize them. Aries is the golden youngster of the Faction, her status is equal to the Elders present in the Faction. Only those above the Late stages of the Sovereign Plane have a better ranking than her.
The person will definitely recognize her once they arrive.
Time went by and before long, it was dark. Even during the dark, the city was still so lively, a complete contrast to what it looked like the first time the group came here.
The damaged parts of the town had been fixed and everyone of the townspeople knew of the extermination of the villainous evil man that lived in the town.
Very few people knew how the man looked like, so it was quite safe for the man to stay in the town while hiding.
Late in the night, when the town wasn't as busy as it used to be, a vague shadow could be seen moving through the sky. The shadow didn't seem complete, it was as if it was made of fog.
This shadow went straight to the original place the man used to stay, when it noticed that the place had been destroyed, it paused mid-air and turned around. Just as it was about to leave, a figure appeared behind it.
"You don't have to be alarmed, those people were tricky, but I dealt with them." The man said before stepping into the light.
When the shadow saw the man, it paused and a raspy voice came from within the cloaked shadow, "Who would dare to attack you?"
"Some rogue bounty hunters who felt they could take me down." The man replied before ushering the shadow to his new place.
The shadow paused when he saw the building, he looked at the man suspiciously but followed behind him. If the man was captured, he would've been killed by now.
"What's the urgent news, why did you call me out?"
