Going out alone would be dangerous, especially after the kill order. But Lucas and Martha didn't object to it, nor did Grey's grandfather, so he left soon after he returned. His only friend in the Dawson Family was not around, so he didn't stay for long. …. Time went by and before Grey knew it, days had gone by. He was currently waiting in Klaus' manor in the Faction Klaus joined. He wasn't allowed to roam since it was an all-girls Faction, so he was teleported there. When Klaus came out to see Grey, he was shocked when he tried to sense Grey's stage. Even though he couldn't pinpoint it, he sensed that it was at least in the Late stages of the Sage Plane. "What the hell man, how are you advancing so fast?" Klaus cursed and looked at Grey. "I miss you too, Klaus." Grey replied. He was already used to the way Klaus spoke, so even when he insulted new people, Grey didn't bother about it. At most, he would let them beat him up. According to what Lucas told him about Klaus, he was a thorn in the necks of the Moonlight Faction, but for some reason, the Faction Leader valued him a lot. According to what Grey's father told him, he was their lucky star. "It's been so long!" Klaus exclaimed and hugged Grey. It had been a while since he spoke or even saw Grey. Not just Grey, but the others seemed to have been occupied recently, so they didn't have much of his time. Even when he was free, he didn't cultivate much. After so many months, he had shot to the Eighth stage of the Sage Plane. Grey was powerful and also lucky, Klaus on the other hand seemed to be the child of lady luck. He had risen to the Eighth stage of the Sage Plane and he didn't even go to a secret realm like Grey. Had he done that, then he would already be at the Peak of the Sage Plane, if not higher. "Yes, you seem to be enjoying life." Grey said as he looked at the living environment here. Even though he wasn't allowed into the main part of the Faction, they still sent him to Klaus' manor. It was quite large and had all the things he needed to live comfortably. "Here? It's boring as hell. I want to go out and have fun with you and the others." Klaus couldn't help but say. Joining a faction was both a blessing and a curse. He advanced faster, but he was also forced to stay in the same place. He couldn't even hassle over it. Being the only boy in an all-girls Faction meant that he was the one who had to occasionally go out for missions. With his status, he couldn't let those weaker than him take on these dangerous missions, so he was the one who took it. It wasn't just because they were weaker, but because they were all young ladies. When Grey took a good look at Klaus, he noticed that his skin was glowing, and it looked somewhat pale. "What the hell have you been doing?" He couldn't help but ask. "Missions." Klaus replied. After seeing Grey's eyes, he knew that Grey was speaking about his skin. He laughed before explaining the reason for it. Staying in the snow and a cold environment for too long affected his skin and it turned paler. This wasn't useless, whenever he used the ice attribute, his body would increase the strength of the ice, making it stronger. His flesh stored a large amount of ice, and whenever he was fighting, it would start to show its use. "All the missions?" Grey couldn't help but ask. "Yes, all missions." Klaus replied. Before Grey could say a word, Klaus sank into the ground. "So I'll take that as not all the missions?" Grey laughed. "Yes, only a few of the missions." Klaus replied with a gloomy expression. "Let's go outside, these seniors have a bad habit of keeping an eye, and ears on me." Klaus said. Just when Grey wanted to stand up, Klaus' entire body sank into the ground. He couldn't help but thank the heavens that he didn't say a thing about them. Klaus seemed to be suffering a lot. Well, given his mouth, it wasn't surprising. Grey didn't even try to help Void and stood up walking outside. Some minutes later, Klaus came out with an even gloomier expression. 'They are bullying me. One of the seniors approached me and I refused her.' Klaus sent a telepathic message to Grey. At their current level, they didn't need to speak out, and could easily send telepathic messages to each other as long as they were within a specific range. Grey raised a brow but didn't respond. He knew if an Elementalist was strong, they could even intercept telepathic messages, even when the people were so close. Before Klaus could say anything, he was once again struck into the ground. Grey burst out laughing. "Damn it! How can a senior have such a habit of trying to get gossip?" Klaus complained. Grey laughed before saying, "Let's head out." He knew it wasn't safe to say anything here. Of all the people they encountered that day, the Moonlight Faction also had their eyes on him, so if he were to tell Klaus any secrets now, it would get to them. …. "Wait, what?!" Klaus almost spat out the wine he was drinking. The duo were currently in a city not too far from where the Moonlight Faction was situated. "Yes, you don't have to overreact." Grey said. "What do you mean not to overreact? If you've heard of Lucas Dawson as much as I've heard about him, then you'll know that I have every right to overreact." Klaus said. "Oh really, what did you hear about him?" Klaus asked curiously. "A lot…" Klaus started to speak about all the things he had heard about Grey's father. Apparently, the current Faction Leader of the Moonlight Faction was in love with him, but he didn't spare her a glance, instead, he went for the more aggressive Martha Reile.
