Eva stared at Grey, unsure of what to say.
Grey took a glance at her but moved away, walking in Alec's direction.
"Did you say Nathan was in Kangs City?" He asked.
Alec nodded, he didn't know what transpired between Grey and Eva, but from her present facial expression, she could tell that it wasn't anything good.
"I'll be leaving soon. We'll see some other time." Grey didn't dally any longer and left with Void.
Alec walked up to Eva to ask her what was wrong. She told him about what happened, and how Grey was able to guess everything that happened. If not for the fact that she was certain that he was unconscious at that time, she would've never believed he wasn't present at the time.
His guess was spot on, other than the fact that some people saw Grey first before she and Nathan arrived, everything else was accurate.
"I warned him. If he let it go, things would've been easy. When the cat came, he saw me fighting with Foudre, and even witnessed Foudre trying to kill Grey while he was unconscious. If he didn't arrive on time, Grey might've died from the attack. He told Foudre that Grey would have his revenge, looks like he's here because of that. Now, he has added Nathan to that list as well." Alec shook his head as he told Eva about what happened the last time he saw Grey and Void.
"Do you think he'll not kill them?" Eva asked, worried about the safety of her friends.
She didn't support them trying to kill Grey while he was down, but she still didn't want Grey to kill them.
"From his past actions, I doubt that. If they survive, then they should count themselves lucky." Alec replied casually.
The issue had nothing to do with him, he didn't have a good relationship with Nathan and Foudre, to begin with, so even if Grey killed both of them, he didn't find anything wrong with it. They were the ones who wanted to kill him, he's only giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Eva gazed at the ground, gripping the side of her shirt while biting her bottom lip.
Alec didn't stay there for long and left soon after, there was nothing left for him there. He was glad he managed to succeed in rescuing these people, thanks to Grey.
Grey appeared outside Kangs City, this time, he had a different color, looking around, he saw countless people rushing out of the City.
'I don't think they're still inside. Unfortunately, we don't know which direction they faced when leaving.' Grey transmitted his voice to Void.
Void and the Space Elementalist among the triplet were presently out, searching for Nathan and Foudre. They had searched the area within a kilometer of the city, but they hadn't seen any signs of Nathan or Foudre.
Naturally, they would be in disguise since they wouldn't want to be captured by these infuriated experts, this would make searching for them even more difficult.
'Why don't we go back to the girl? Nathan will search for a way to locate her.' Void suggested.
Grey thought about it and felt it was the best choice, but he decided to leave the Space Elementalist out in case there were any traces of Nathan around.
He went back with Void, hiding in the void. Eva was still in the same location in the forest, seemingly waiting for someone.
Of all the people captured, only two more people were still there with her. And they didn't stay long as well, they left after almost one hour.
After almost three hours, Nathan and Foudre arrived.
When Eva saw them, still alive and well, she heaved a sigh of relief.
'Looks like he didn't find them.' She thought internally.
"Where's Grey?" Nathan asked when he arrived.
"He left, searching for you two." Eva replied.
"Us, why?" Foudre asked.
"Revenge, obviously." Nathan answered.
"What does he take us for, does he think he can beat us, together?" Foudre snorted coldly.
"You saw his fight with those old guys, do you think we can defeat him?" Nathan asked.
He had already fought with Grey before, and he lost woefully. Even though he was confident in his abilities, he knew for a fact that he was no match for Grey. Even though it was evident that Grey uses some sort of special technique that boosts his strength to the Peak of the Sage Plane, he still didn't dare to undermine Grey's talent.
Foudre wanted to reply, but he paused and thought about Grey's battle before his expression turned dark. He already knew the answer, they couldn't fight against two such experts, even if they used a special technique to increase their strengths. Of course they didn't have one that was as absurd as Grey's technique, so they couldn't even get to the Peak of the Sage Plane despite not being far from it.
They were still speaking when Grey stepped out of the void.
They didn't notice his presence for a few seconds, Eva was the first to see him and she froze in fear.
"Wha wha what are you doing here?" She stammered.
"Don't get involved in this." Grey said gently.
Nathan and Foudre turned to look at Grey, their expressions sour.
They couldn't believe a single individual would actually put pressure on them. One that was even below them in terms of cultivation stage. If not for Grey's secret technique, they wouldn't need to fear him, and he wouldn't have the courage to act as he does.
"Grey, you're all healed up." Nathan said with a friendly smile.
"Yeah, thanks to you, I guess." Grey replied with a smile.
Foudre snorted, he wasn't like Nathan, "Why are you here?"
"I came for you in particular, Nathan, I'll give you a chance, cripple yourself and I'll let you live. You can even do it in a way that you can start cultivating again from scratch." Grey said casually.
Nathan and Foudre flew into rage when they heard Grey's words, his words clearly showed that he held both individuals in contempt, he simply didn't think much of them.
