Chapter 930 I'm Your Ancestor!
"How are you so sure they're dead?" The Faction Leader looked at the Elder with a calm expression.
"Their life crystals are broken." The Elder brought out two life crystals.
This was different from the talisman Grey's guardian used. Unlike Grey who's life was connected to the talisman without his knowledge by his guardian, these life crystals were used by most average Families and above. The owners will infuse a bit of their life force into them.
The Elders only found out that the duo were dead after going to check the life crystals.
"Oh." The Faction Leader said without changing his expression.
"So, how does that concern Grey?" He asked when they were still looking at him.
"He's the one who has some disagreements with them." Foudre's Uncle spoke up.
"As you're all aware, Grey's not in the Faction right now. Besides that, the fact that he had some squabbles with them doesn't mean he'll kill them. There's a high chance that they were killed by those from the Lutra race, you're also aware of this." The Faction Leader said coolly, looking around, he added, "When Grey gets back to the Faction, I'll ask him about this."
Foudre's Uncle looked at the Faction Leader with a somewhat cold expression. He knew how highly the Faction Leader valued Grey, so it was impossible for them to even touch a hair on him. Of course, they still weren't a hundred percent sure he was the one who killed them. But they felt he was the one who would most likely do it.
"Are you going to protect him?" Foudre's Uncle asked coldly.
"Carl, know your place. Until I get to the bottom of the matter, no one is allowed to take any action." The Faction Leader snorted coldly.
Even though Carl was older than he was, he was still the Faction Leader, and he had the final say concerning every matter involving the Faction. Since he had made the decision, then they had to deal with it.
Grey killing Foudre and Nathan was not a big issue for him to resolve, the evidence was too small, and other than Eva, there were no other witnesses. With only one witness, did these old men think they could get anything on him?
Foudre's Uncle wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by another Elder who was sitting close to him. After exchanging a glance, they stood up and left.
The Faction Leader was naturally not concerned with them. He looked at the disappearing shadows with a meaningful glance.
'Sigh, I knew it would be difficult to keep this under wraps. However, I pity them if they try to use any underhanded means to get back at Grey.' He sighed with a shake of his head.
Not all the Elders from the Faction knew of the individual watching over Grey. The Faction Leader questioned the guardian extensively and got to find out who Grey's parents were. Even for someone like him, he wouldn't dare to offend Grey's father, much less an Elder from an above average Family.
Foudre's Family might be strong, but compared to the Dawson Family, they were still a far cry away. Grey's father could exterminate the entire Family alone, and this wasn't an exaggeration.
If these morons went ahead and offended such a figure, then they would suffer the consequences alone.
The Pyrmond Faction.
In one of the houses.
The two Elders were conversing on how they would deal with Grey.
"Do you know of any way to track him?" One of the Elders asked.
"It shouldn't be an issue. From what I know, he has a friend here. We can't approach Alec due to his background, that kid called Keith isn't an issue." Foudre's Uncle replied with a cold glint flashing through his eyes.
"Hmm, that kid's current use to the Faction is quite high. He's the only one who can communicate with those from the Lutra race, it'll be hard to do anything to him without incurring the wrath of those old ancestors." Another Elder said.
They all knew of Grey's feat in understanding and striking a deal with some of the people from the Lutra realm. He specifically thought only Keith, and from what they knew, no one else knew of the method to understand the Lutra race's language.
"We're only going to question him about a few things. Once we get what we want, we will naturally leave him be." Foudre's Uncle replied.
He also knew of the importance of the resources they were changing with those from the Lutra realm. If they cut off that connection, it would be catastrophic for them.
After coming to a decision, they decided to go in search of Keith. They wouldn't be the ones going in. With their status, as long as any of the members of the Faction passes the news to them calling Keith, then Keith would surely come to them.
Two weeks later.
Keith left the Lutra realm, in search of Foudre's Uncle. When he got the news of one of the Elders from the Faction calling for him, he had to honor the call. There was no way he would not answer it.
The Pyrmond Faction.
The Elders quickly got the news of Keith coming back to the Faction and immediately moved out to meet up with him.
They questioned him, and after not getting much from him, they could only leave him alone.
The only thing they managed to get from him was his friends being in other Factions. He didn't tell them of Grey's tracking device since there was no use in doing so.
After they left, he knew this had something to do with Grey being almost killed since he saw Grey when Void brought him in before they left.
…
While all these were happening, Grey was currently going through one of the Regions.
He was met with a challenging situation. A necromancer had tracked him down, and this necromancer was in the Sage Plane.
Presently, they were the only enemies Grey had, and since they could track him with the mark on him, it was almost impossible for him to escape from their radar as long as he was within the range.
He still hadn't been able to fix it, and it was infuriating.
"Why are you people so hateful?" Grey asked with an annoyed look.
These guys had been hunting him down for some time now, and he hated this feeling.
Of course he wasn't pressured by the necromancer in front of him. The necromancer was only in the Fifth stage of the Sage Plane.
"Kid, you must have something important on you, the mark on you is quite amazing, it's superior to the ones we use. If I'm not mistaken, you got it from our ancestors." The necromancer said with an evil grin.
"You're related to those hateful things?" Grey asked with a look of disgust.
Necromancers were hated all round, and after being hunted by not only them, but the creators of necromancy, he hated it even more.
"How dare you insult our ancestors in such a manner. Tell me where you find them, and I'll make sure you keep your consciousness." The necromancer scolded.
"Aren't you a little surprised they weren't able to capture me and only marked me?" Grey asked with a mocking smile.
"Huh?" The necromancer paused.
Yes, the thought went through his head, but he thought maybe he would kill Grey and find what he had first. Thinking of it now, it was a little shocking. Their ancestors were said to be from another realm and were extremely powerful. Grey was only a Sage Plane Elementalist, so they should be able to stop him.
"What are you getting at, kid?" He asked.
"Nothing, I only marked myself since I want to see how competent you guys are. It would be a shame that we revive and only get to meet people like yourself, with such low strength, and honestly, I've been disappointed with the results so far." Grey said with a deep look.
His current expression was different from what it previously was.
"What are you saying?" The necromancer asked, a little confused.
"Do I still need to spell it out?" Grey raised his hand and a thin dark thread appeared, it was made from the darkness element.
It oozed the aura of death, and even the necromancer was stunned by it.
"You… you're one of us?" The necromancer asked in shock.
"Not one of you, I'm one of your ancestors." Grey replied with an indifferent look.
His eyes glowed with a strange light, like that of an old expert who had seen the world.
The necromancer was conflicted, not sure what to do. On one hand, Grey does seem to know a thing about necromancer from just that tendril he displayed, it was even more powerful than the one he had!
On the other hand, he was a little skeptical about Grey's identity. Why would an old expert play such games?
