"Your cat?! You're dead!" The young lady shrieked, clearly more enraged.

"Actually, saying this is like an insult to my cat, he'll probably kill you with a single attack," Grey said after thinking for a while.

"I'm not even confident in beating him," He added, but his voice was so low that other than him, no one else heard it.

Although he had never tried to fight with Void, the few times they sparred, he was well beaten. Not just that, but Void didn't hold back, although he was the one who told him not to hold back, he at least expected him to hold back a little.

But who would've thought Void listened to him and fought at full throttle. There were times he almost wanted to hold a grudge against the small cat, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

Who could hate such a wonderful cat?

"Guess you'll not make it to the Emperor," The young lady said icily before attacking him once again.

Just like the previous times, all he did was to wave his hand, and all the attacks were effortlessly deflected. The young lady didn't stop at a single attack this time, instead, she continued attacking, again and again and again.

But to her dismay, all her attacks were literally waved off by Grey, all he did was to wave his hand, and the attacks were disrupted. It was almost like he wasn't even putting any effort.

Jean and the two ladies looked at Grey with shock, they knew how strong the young lady was, yet she has been unable to make Grey even move an inch from the chair he was sitting on.

"You coward! Fight like a man if you have the guts, stop hiding inside your shell like the tortoise you are!" The young lady yelled angrily.

She couldn't take it anymore, her pride was being trampled by the unmoving Grey.

"Heh! Fine, if you can block three attacks, then I'll take it as my loss and apologize to you," Grey sneered.

He had already calculated everything he wanted to do, he'll infuse a bit of darkness energy into the young lady's essence bead when he attacks.

When he was fighting with that young man back at the Chimera forest, even though he had broken through to the Overlord Plane, he only sensed it when it was too late.

But unlike the one for the young man, he wouldn't put much into this attacks against the young lady, just a little that would be able to slowly corrode her essence bead while she's unaware.

Before she would take note of it, at least more than half of her essence bead would've been corroded, leaving it unrepairable.

"Three attacks? Fine, but what if you lose?" The young lady tried to calm herself.

She was currently fuming, but she knew if Grey didn't attack, there was no way he would stand up from that place. She felt that as long as Grey stood up, then she would definitely be able to attack him given the speed she possessed as a Wind Elementalist.

Grey looked at her calmly before replying, "I'll apologize, that should suffice, right?"

"You'll be flogged," The young lady said.

She didn't want Grey to go unpunished, so after she beat him up, she would get her family guards to flog him for his evil deeds.

"Haha, then what if you lose?" Grey asked.

"Then I'll forget about you doing any harm to my siblings," The young lady said.

"Are you really sure you're siblings? You know, I don't think a real sister would do this," Grey mused.

His question managed to enrage the young lady who was already trying to calm down once again.

"Don't let his words get to you, he's trying to infuriate you,"

Jean's voice suddenly echoed in the room.

Grey threw him a nonchalant look, he didn't really care if the young lady was calm or incensed.

"I know, father," The young lady replied before taking a deep breath to rationalize her breathing.

"Come!" She yelled.

Grey tapped his left leg on the ground, and to Jean's and the two ladies' surprise, the young lady was sent flying by an earth pillar that sprouted out of the ground from where she was standing.

Bam! Bang!

She slammed into the ground hard, before sliding almost fifteen meters. Her body came to a halt after she hit the wall of the hall.

All it took was a single action from Grey, and the young lady was already on the ground.

She struggled to stand up, looking at Grey who was still sitting leisurely on the chair. He even hung his right leg on the hand of the chair while swinging his left leg in the air.

"What? How?" She couldn't believe what happened.

From the attack, everyone in the hall knew Grey was being lenient with her. Had he made earth spikes come out instead of the pillar, then the young lady would've been impaled by the attack, causing a fatal injury, if not even death.

"That's the first attack, I must say you're doing very well. Tsk tsk, and here I was thinking I would expend a little bit of effort to defeat you," Grey shook his head in disappointment.

Hearing his words and seeing the disappointed look on his face sent the young lady crazy once again.

'I'm a one in a million genius, the greatest genius in the history of Frost City, yet, I can't even touch a hair on this guy's body?'

She started questioning life when she thought about it.

After returning from the trial land, it had been smooth sailing all the way, because of how high her stage was when she came out, a lot of people respected her. Some even lauded her to be someone who would go above the Overlord Plane, reaching the legendary Sage Plane, but now, her heart was shaken by Grey's appearance.

"Do I still need to attack again, or do you want to continue teaching me a lesson?" Grey asked when he saw the dazed young lady.

"I refuse to accept this," The young lady said.

"Oh really? I don't think you have a choice here, you'll accept it whether you like it or not," Grey chuckled.

Jean shook his head before saying, "Enough, you are no match for him."

The young lady who was about to pounce on Grey stopped and looked at her father, "You don't have to worry father, he relied on sneak attacks if not, I wouldn't have been hit,"

"You can not beat him, I don't think there's anyone in the Origin Plane who can." Jean said with a serious look.

He could already tell from the start that Grey was stronger than his daughter, but he didn't expect the difference to be this huge. One had to know that his daughter could hold her own against a Ninth stage Origin Plane Elementalists. But in front of Grey, she didn't amount to much.

Jean could tell that Grey wasn't in the Overlord Plane, well, more like didn't dare to think that he was. How scary would it be for an eighteen years old boy to be in the Overlord Plane that they all struggled for over hundred years to reach?

The thought frightened him, and he wasn't even thinking about it!

"You should listen to your father, he does have a point," Grey advised.

The young lady ground her teeth hard, before turning around to leave the hall. She couldn't bear to see Grey's arrogant face, all she wanted to do whenever she was looking at it was to pummel his handsome face until he was unrecognizable.

Luckily for her, she didn't encounter Klaus, given how foul mouthed he was, she might probably not be able to take this defeat the way she did. There's a chance that she might even want to fight a life and death battle with him.

Grey smiled when he saw her leaving, he had already completed what he wanted, that was why he didn't bother to let her continue. His darkness element essence had already been placed in the young lady, and he could tell that it had traveled to her essence bead.

In a couple of days, it would be able to corrode at least half of her essence bead.

Jean looked at Grey with a conflicted expression, he was almost wishing he didn't bring him into his house. Had he known that because of the Emperor he wouldn't be able to harm him even when he was in his house, he would've just let the matter go. Besides, he still had other talented children, those two were unlucky, hence they met a freak like Grey.

Jean called on the guards outside to escort Grey to a secured room in the manor, while telling them to make sure no one went in or out of the room.

After they took Grey away, he called on an elder in the Overlord Plane, telling him to hurry to the Capital to report Grey's capture to the Emperor. He didn't dare to tell him to take Grey along, because he had heard of Grey staying in the Lenz manor the previous time.

While the guards were taking Grey to his room, he was making a rough map of the manor in his head while looking around. He planned to steal as much essence stones as he possibly could. After all, it's not everytime he would steal from Alice's father.

After getting to his room, since there was nothing to do, he took out his communication device, trying to contact Alice and Reynolds.
