With all top powerhouses moving at the same time, the scene was a sight to behold. However, they were all a bit too slow.

Since that leader of the Nether Faction made a move first, it was natural that he would have the advantage over the others.

Boom!

The attack hit where Grey was lying. And Grey was soon covered by a bright light.

"Huh?!"

Someone exclaimed as they looked at the explosion. The explosion which was expanding contracted in the blink of an eye.

Those who were rushing there paused as they looked at the sight in shock.

While everyone was staring at the scene, a figure stepped out of the void, standing close to Grey.

The figure looked at Grey lovingly before turning around to throw a glance at the leader of the Nether Faction.

"Quite bold of you to attack a weak child." The figure looked at the leader of the Nether Faction with a nonchalant expression.

Those from the Burchard Family paused when they saw the face of the figure. Not just those from the Burchard Family, but the old man, as well as those from the Nether Faction.

The figure standing there was someone well reputable across the entire Continent.

"Lucas?" The old man was the first to speak out.

"Elder, it's been a while." The figure referred to as Lucas bowed in the direction of the old man.

"What are you doing here?" The old man asked calmly.

Lucas' appearance here should be no coincidence.

"My son's fighting, I came to see how he was fairing." Lucas said softly before turning around to look at Grey's current condition.

Presently, Grey was the only one lying there. Before the leader of the Nether Faction attacked, he made sure to remove Bill from the picture so he wouldn't be hurt by the attack.

"He's your son?" The old man was shocked beyond words.

Not just the old man, but every single person in the place was quiet. They had no words at the moment.

"Vin, mind telling me why you attacked my defenseless son?" Lucas didn't bother with the reaction of those around as he turned to look at the leader of the Nether Faction.

The leader of the Nether Faction paused, he really didn't know what to say. If Grey were dead, then he would've been able to find a simple way to navigate through this. Although, Grey being alive was better than him dying at this moment. The figure before him was someone he knew he stood no chance against.

Not just this figure, but the person's wife was almost as fearsome as he was, only, more brutal. If she is the mother of Grey, then he could already guess that she would be fuming the moment she gets here.

"It was all accidental, I thought she wanted to attack my student, so I only attacked in retaliation." Vin, the leader of the Nether Faction explained.

"Do I look like a fool, I can see the blatant killing intent in your eyes when you attacked." Lucas said calmly.

"I'll let you go since my son's not harmed. I don't know about Martha though, you'll have to deal with her yourself." He added, not even waiting for Vin's response.

The second Vin heard the name Martha, he freaked out. Just like Lucas, Martha was a genius, she could almost be said in the same breath as Lucas. If not for Lucas' freakish talent, she might just be the strongest person from the last hundred years.

Two people generally regarded as peerless geniuses went on to get married, and even give birth to a child who seems to be even more freakish than the duo combined.

If this isn't cheating from nature, they don't know what was.

"Lucas, I admit to my errors and I'll personally apologize to your son. I don't mind taking the responsibility of healing him." Vin hastily tried to make peace.

He might be the leader of the Nether Faction, but he knew that offending the Dawson Family was not something the other Elders from the Faction would want. Fighting powerhouses like the Dawson Family was not something they could bear to do.

"I already told you, I'm letting you go. Whatever business you have is with his mother, it's none of my concern." Lucas didn't even bother with him any longer and took Grey back to where those from the Burchard Family were seated.

The sudden appearance of such a powerhouse stunned everyone present. Those from the Burchard Family were still finding it hard to believe. It was common knowledge that Lucas and Martha were married. What people didn't know was if they had a child together. Even if some people might've suspected Grey was from the Dawson Family, no one would've thought he was actually the child of these two monsters.

Sylvia found it hard to put words together as she looked at the legendary figure who just barged into the competition.

Seeing that he was getting all the attention, Lucas waved his hand.

"Please, continue."

He took Grey to the side.

With all the powerful people from the Nether Faction defeated by Grey, everyone knew the outcome of the competition had been settled.

Grey had undoubtedly won this competition for the Burchard Family. Of course, they still had to fight since there was no certainty if the Nether Faction didn't have a secret weapon kept in store for this competition.

The next person to step up was from the Nether Faction. They had two people left, while the Burchard Family had four, if Grey was excluded due to his current state, then there were only three left. But of those three, Scott, someone who could be said to be on the same level as Bill was still present. Having an extra person made the morale of those from the Nether Faction diminish.

"Take out those two. That would leave only Scott, he can't beat the two of you." The leader of the Nether Faction said to the duo left.

As long as they could remove the other two, they still had a chance of winning this.
