Affinity: Chaos Chapter 1250 Provoke Them

Chapter 1250 Provoke Them

Lucas left almost immediately, leaving Grey alone with Martha in the building. He didn't forget to take the bunny leader with him. Arthel was also taken along, supposedly, Lucas said he had a job for him and took him as well. 

Grey had no issues with his father taking them away and headed over to accompany his mother and Cori. 

Void was with them and his mother had prepared a good meal for them. 

Grey joined them and when she saw his mother's questioning eyes, he told her of his father's departure. 

Martha didn't think too much about it, Lucas was always out and it had become a norm. 

With Grey staying with her, she wouldn't miss the departure of her husband too much. 

The trio alongside the little cat ate a good meal and even had a long conversation before Martha started Cori's training. She might be a Water Elementalist, but she had no issues with training a s.p.a.ce Elementalist. 

Grey left them alone and went inside to rest. He rarely sleeps nowadays. At his stage, he could go years without sleeping. However, on some occasions, he needed to rest his head, and as always, sleep was one of the best ways to do that. Of course, it doesn't always work out, but on most occasions, it's all that's needed to reboot the body and head. 

The days went by fast and Grey didn't bother with anything other than making sure he got enough rest and enjoyed his mother's company. 

Martha gave Cori a training routine that would improve her body's capacity so she would be able to advance to the next level. 

A few days later, Lucas returned. 

Grey was about to leave when Lucas stopped him. 

"You still haven't integrated the chaos energy into your essence. You can't leave without doing that." 

When Grey heard this, he recalled that his father spoke about a technique, but his father left in a haste and he completely forgot about it. With no other option, he stayed a little longer and started to learn the technique. 

The first time he saw the technique, he thought it would be a walk in the park. Only after he started to practice it did he understand it wasn't as simple as it sounds. He would need a lot of time to fully connect the two together. 

What makes it difficult is the fact that the chaos energy isn't connected to the origin source, so merging it to his essence was difficult as the origin source was rejecting any form of outside energy. 

Lucas couldn't help him with this since he didn't have any experience with it, all he could was to try to help him with what he understood about it. 

Martha was focused on training Cori while Lucas was focused on Grey. This part of the Dawson Family entered a period of calm as there was no activity from them other than training in the confines of their building. 

A few people came over to visit, but they were not able to see them. Lucas had always been very strict when it came to training, and everyone in the family was well aware of this. The moment they heard he was practicing with Grey, they all left them alone. 

The first person Grey was acquainted with from the Dawson Family came over as well. But he was forced to leave by Lucas. 

The world was bussing, but it had nothing to do with Lucas, Martha, Grey, and Cori. They were focused on their respective tasks. 

Cori's body capacity was slowly increasing while Grey's experience with merging two essences together was starting to bear some fruit. One of the things that helped him during this training was the Fusion State. He had the experience of merging different cores into one, so he started to use that route while following some of the instructions from the text his father showed him. 

….

Two months went by in the blink of an eye. 

Grey was presently seated in the courtyard, both eyes closed as he focused on merging the chaos energy into his essence. 

He had been getting good results over the last few days and he was starting to get confident that he would be able to merge it soon. 

Lucas appeared silently behind him, when he saw his state, he didn't speak and watched from the side, making sure no one came over to distract Grey. 

Grey heaved a long sigh of relief and opened his eyes. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and said. ???ℯ????.???

"This thing doesn't seem possible." 

Lucas walked over and placed his hand on Grey's shoulder, "It is. You've been attempting it for a while now and have seen that there are signs." 

"Why don't you try to merge it with the origin source first?" 

"How can I do that?" 

"Locate the origin source. That shouldn't be too difficult for you. It's not as hard as what you're trying to attempt now, is it?" 

Grey shook his head when he heard his father's question. He hadn't thought of trying it in this manner before. Maybe he would be able to merge them if he could connect it to the origin source. Over his previous attempts, he knew that the main issue was getting the origin source to accept the chaos energy. 

For the past few days, he had been trying to force them into merging and just when he thought he would succeed, he would receive a backlash which would in some cases cause him some injuries. Luckily, he was always very careful and the injuries weren't that dangerous. 

Grey calmed himself, took in a deep breath, and let his consciousness wander in the vast s.p.a.ce of the world around him. His target was to try to locate the origin source that was natural everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It was a spectacular thing since until an Elementalist gets to the Elemental Venerable Plane, they would not be able to have any knowledge of it, but without connecting to it, there was no way to break through to the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

Grey, having so many elements had a longer experience with it so if anyone could locate it, he had the highest chances of anyone in the Aurora Continent. 

He focused seriously on locating it. 

Lucas didn't spend any more time with him, leaving him to his work. He also had a few things he needed to sort out. While they were training, he received a message from Arthel on the mission he sent him on. 

….

In a mountain range some distance from the Dawson Family manor. 

"Hmm, I can't leave now." Lucas placed his hands on his chin while looking at Arthel who was standing before him. 

"Wait here, I'll go get Grey." 

Lucas disappeared and soon reappeared with Grey standing beside him with a confused expression. 

"I'm sorry, but this is important. You will have to represent me in a meeting." Lucas explained to Grey. 

"Huh?" Grey was left speechless by his father's statement. 

His father was the one who told him to focus on training, now he was sending him out to represent him in a meeting?

"You see, this is important to the Family. I didn't think they would be having it on such short notice. To be fair, they didn't invite me, I just want to barge in. If I go personally, they wouldn't show their true colors. Even if you go they would be wary, but they wouldn't be as reserved as if I'm the one there." Lucas explained with a smile. 

"So, what am I going to do there?" Grey asked. 

"Simple…" Lucas said with a grin, "Provoke them." 

Grey was dumbfounded when he heard his father's words. His father was sending him out to cause trouble? He never expected something like this would ever happen. 

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. Who would dare to kill my son? Even the strongest experts would think twice." Lucas stated proudly. 

Grey didn't doubt his father's statement, he just found it odd that he was sending him on such a mission. 

"Can I take someone with me? If you really want them p.i.s.sed, I have the perfect candidate for the job." Grey thought of a very annoying individual and asked. 

"Of course, the angrier they get the better." Lucas replied. 

"Alright. I will need to head to the Moonlight Faction then." Grey said. 

"You have a friend there, correct?" 

Grey nodded. 

Lucas had his research about those close to Grey and knew of a special talent that managed to enter the Moonlight Faction even though he was a boy. It was even rumored that the Faction Leader was the one training him too. He didn't have too many interactions with the Moonlight Faction, so there was no way for him to verify this rumor. He didn't want to waste any time investigating one person since there were still others he wanted to know about. All he knew was that Klaus was Grey's friend and he was also a top genius in the Faction.
