Chapter 1254 Bold Action

"The items she brought were fake." The young man said after he was told who the person Grey and Klaus wanted to see was.
The only reason he didn't blow his top off was due to the fact that he knew that the young man who was standing guard wouldn't foolishly bring people with low statuses to him like this. It meant the status of the duo was probably very high. His status in the Faction was only below the Elders and the Faction Leader.
He was well above other members in the Faction, and with his strength of being a Fifth stage Elemental Venerable, he could take the position of an Elder if he wanted. But he was still young and didn't want such a status. He'd rather be the way he is at the moment than take such a title.
He didn't want to even think about how awkward it would be if Grey and Klaus came and had to address him as an Elder when they were all around the same age.
"If I may ask, who are you two?" He asked after saying the reason Luthera was held captive.
The guard was the one to introduce the duo this time. When the young man heard their names, he understood why the young man brought them over. He couldn't help but appreciate the fact that he didn't answer them in an annoyed tone.
"The Braun Family has been delivering these things to your Faction for years now, and there has never been an issue with you people receiving any fake item. How come there's one now?" Klaus questioned. He wasn't pleased with what he heard. To him, he felt like the young man was spouting bullshit.
He didn't see that as enough reason for them to hold Luthera captive.
"Yes, and we're also diligent in our payments. But this particular item almost caused the death of an Elder's son. Hence, the Elder out of anger imprisoned her, without the permission of the Elder, we can't take her out." The young man explained.
He wasn't the one who made the decision, neither did he know the full story. The Elder only told them that his son nearly died and sent people out to stop Luthera from leaving.
"Can we see her?" Klaus was more concerned about Luthera's current well-being.
"Sure." The young man had no problems with taking them to the place Luthera was being kept.
He sent the young man away to continue his duty as the guard and escorted Grey and Klaus. He had tried sensing the strength of the duo, and he only sensed Klaus' cultivation level which sent chills down his spine.
Most people knew of Klaus and the last time he was in a public place, which was the secret realm, he had just broken through when they were leaving. In the space of one year, Klaus had broken through to such a frightening level. He couldn't help but wonder what Grey's strength was like now. If Klaus was able to grow this fast and powerful, then surely the son of the great Lucas Dawson must have grown even further.
The duo were led into a dungeon under the Faction and the young man was stunned when he couldn't find Luthera.
"Where is the lady kept here?" He asked the guard watching over the dungeon.
"Elder Thorunn took her away a few minutes ago." The guard reported.
The young man's expression changed slightly. He didn't think too much about the situation but when he recalled the personality of the Elder, he was stumped.
"We should head over to his place."
He left the dungeon hurriedly with Klaus and Grey behind him. He was in such haste that he forgot the no-fly rules in the Faction as they rushed to where the Elder resided.
Grey and Klaus naturally followed him as they shot to the Elders' manor.
When they got there, the guard wanted to stop them, but he was sent flying.
"Elder Thorunn, where's the prisoner?" The young man roared as he entered the mansion.
The Elder, who was inside, came out with an annoyed voice.
The young man, Grey, and Klaus were presently standing in the Hall of the building and the Elder walked out from the stairs that led underground.
"Ralf, what's the meaning of this?" Elder Thorunn asked coldly.
He was at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane, and even though he was on the same Plane as Ralf, he was still stronger, and expected him to respect him.
"Where's the prisoner?" Ralf asked, not responding to the Elder's question.
Elder Thorunn looked at Grey and Klaus, "Who are these people, you dare to barge into my manor with these miscreants?!"
Without hesitation, he unleashed an attack on Ralf, Grey, and Klaus.
Klaus took a step forward and his ice domain spread out.
Grey disappeared and when he reappeared he was standing in front of Elder Thorunn, all it took was a single attack, and he was sent flying, crashing through the walls of the building and landing outside with a large crater.
Grey has never been one to hold back, and from the looks of things, he knew this Elder was up to no good, hence his reaction.
With this attack, the other Elders in the area had rushed over and even those few normal members who were in the Elemental Venerable Plane came over.
"Who dares attack an Elder in our Faction? Are you looking for death?!"
A thunderous roar came from above and an Old man appeared, his expression was murderous.
When he saw that it was Elder Thorunn, he paused and accessed the situation. He was familiar with Ralf, but he didn't know Grey and Klaus. His eyes turned cold and just as he was about to attack, a figure appeared beside him and whispered into his ears. He paused once again.
Grey and Klaus walked out of the building with a stunned Ralf who couldn't believe his eyes.
