Affinity:Chaos
chapter-1190

Later that day, Grey, Void, and the bunny leader headed to the area where they could sense the treasures coming from. They all knew that there was an Elemental Venerable there, but they did not care. Each of them could single-handedly defeat the only Elemental Venerable in this place.

When they got to the place, as expected, it was the largest manor in the entire town, well built and the designs outside were amazing.

Grey took in the sight before casually strolling into the place. There was an array set up in the manor, but with him around, there was no way they were going to be sensed. Even if he wasn't around, Void and the bunny leader had their ways of bypassing these things.

When they appeared inside the compound, there were naturally guards monitoring the place. The trio strolled through the place thanks to Grey's camouflage.

After walking for a few minutes, they found the place where all the treasures were kept. It was hidden at the back of the manor, away from the main building. If not for the fact that they could sense the location of the treasure, they would never have guessed it was hidden there.

'There are two Sage Plane guards.' Void reported.

'Should we take them out? Or just enter the place without them knowing.' Grey asked for their suggestions.

'Entering without them finding out would be better. More drama in the morning.' The bunny leader quickly said.

Grey nodded and they all disappeared, but since the bunny leader was the best with the space element, it was the one who took them inside.

The second they appeared, Grey instantly tossed a small ball that disappeared into thin air.

He chuckled and said, "Such a sneaky array. If I didn't sense it on time, they would've found us without us knowing."

The trio looked at the treasury, and Grey was a bit impressed with the amount of chaos stones present here. Unlike the Aurora Continent, this place has chaos stones instead of essence stones. The amount of stones with high chaos energy concentration were quite high.

After doing a rough count, he got about ten thousand high energy concentration stones. He thought about it for a while before taking everything, there might be an occasion he would have the need for them since he's still here. Besides, it wouldn't be bad to take this thing back with him.

They took the stones, almost every single thing of value, the bones of the Tiger was there as well and they took that too, they also took a scroll that recorded the special technique of the Tekik Family.

"How are they going to know we raided them if no one comes in to check?" Void asked just as they were about to leave.

"Don't worry, I set up an array that would trigger their alarm array here in two to three hours. They will definitely know someone came here." Grey smiled.

"Nice, let's get going then." Void commended Grey's thoughtfulness.

Grey looked at Void before leaving the place with the trio. They went into the main building and tried to see if there was anything of value inside. Unfortunately, they only managed to take two items, well, Void only managed to take two items, mainly because they were shiny. Apparently, the Tekik Family kept all their treasures inside the treasury.

….

The next morning.

The entire town was buzzing with activity, guards from the Tekik Family were moving across every street in search of the stolen items.

When the people in the town heard that the treasury of the Tekik Family had been robbed overnight, they were flabbergasted. The Tekik Family were the strongest people in the town, who was bold enough to dare to steal from them.

One of the main suspects was, unsurprisingly, Cori. Her brother had just been killed and people felt she had gone to steal from them as a way of getting revenge.

Rumors of all kinds started to spread across the town about who the person who robbed the Tekik Family was.

….

Cori's house.

The place was a small place with only two rooms.

Grey was sitting alongside Cori who just heard of the news of the Tekik Family treasury being robbed.

"Did you rob them?" Cori looked at Grey with innocent eyes.

"Nope." Grey shook his head, seeing her unwavering eyes, he added, "I just took some things without their knowledge."

Cori was a little lost when she heard his statement. She processed it for a few minutes before saying, "Isn't that the same as stealing?"

"No, if they can beat me, it's stealing, but you see, even if I had asked him to give everything to me, he would have. I just saved myself the trouble." Grey replied with a straight face.

He had removed his mask since there was no need to hide his face from Cori. Apparently, when she saw his face, she asked if he was a girl.

"You're their top suspect, so they'll come here soon. Don't worry, I'll play with them before getting revenge. Or should I just go straight to the point?" He asked.

Cori thought about it for a while and replied, "As long as you help me get revenge, I'm alright with whatever you say, Uncle."

Grey nodded and closed his eyes, with his spiritual senses, he could sense almost everything that's happening in the area. The town was a bit big, he didn't even understand why it was called a town when it could easily be called a City, but he couldn't be bothered with what they called the place.

He was stronger than the strongest person here, so whatever he said was law. This was the first time he was going to use his strength to subdue a place. Well, compared to the other times, this time, he isn't going to be civil about it.

They stayed there for a while longer before they started hearing the sound of a knock, coming from the door.

Grey looked at the door and said to Cori, "They are here, let's go."

He stood up and walked beside Cori as they headed to the door. When they opened it, they saw a guard who was wearing the uniform with an insignia of the Tekik Family.

"How can I help you?" He asked.

"We're here to summon Cori to the Town Hall." The guard replied.

He didn't put Grey in his eyes since he couldn't sense any form of energy from him.

"Cori, they want you." Grey said to Cori with a soft smile.

He left with Cori, along with the guard who came with the message.

The news of Cori being summoned quickly spread across the Town and almost everyone headed to the Town Hall, waiting for what would happen. They had just killed the elder brother of Cori the previous day, and a few people believed the same fate awaited Cori. The last time, there was no evidence and the Head of the Tekik Family said Ryla was the perpetrator and should be executed, he was the strongest person present and had all the power, so his words were final.

The people felt he wanted to kill Cori just like he did her elder brother, but none of them dared to open their mouths to speak against it. This was a matter between the Tekik Family and Cori's Family, and it had nothing to do with them.

….

The Town Hall.

Seeing the multitude that arrived, Grey wasn't surprised since he had already guessed something like this would happen.

He walked behind Cori calmly, his steps were steady and firm. His long black robe rubbed the ground as he walked. His handsome face and short hair made him the center of attention even though Cori was the one who made everyone come here.

Grey walked confidently and entered the Hall, still behind Cori. Even though he knew he would take out the Tekik Family, he still stood behind Cori.

When they arrived, the Head of the Tekik Family was not present at that time, and only a few people from the Tekik Family were. A young man who was around Grey's age took a look at Grey, before looking at Cori.

"First your brother, now you? I can't believe you're all a family of thieves." The young man commented when Cori stepped into the Hall.

Grey looked at him, and unsurprisingly, he was still at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. In a place like this, being at the Peak of the Overlord Plane in such an age was an accomplishment, and the young man had every right to be proud, but due to the existence of Cori, he couldn't.

"You people are the thieves." Cori said.

She wasn't afraid. Even though Grey told her to keep his identity secret, she knew she had him behind her and didn't need to fear anyone.

The young man showed an annoyed expression and just as he was about to stand up, the announcement of his Grandfather coming made him take his seat with a snort.

"We'll see if you still have this mouth when Grandfather comes." He muttered.H
