Chapter 1317  Get To Know Each Other

Boom!

"s.h.i.t! Hide your puppets!"

A scream came from the side of the Gnomes, and Klaus and Reynolds who subconsciously had their eyes closed opened them to see a familiar figure standing before them, one of his hands in front of him.

"I'm sorry I took so long."

Grey's voice sounded in their ears.

Klaus was the first to heave a sigh of relief. He quickly sat down on a tree. He knew with Grey here, he didn't have to worry about anything else.

Reynolds was just like Klaus, tired. He didn't even care to bother with how Grey planned on dealing with the Gnomes in front of them, he sat down cross-legged and said, "Please, be as quiet as possible."

Grey's mouth twitched slightly, but when he thought about what they had to go through, he didn't complain. He counted the people present and noticed three Gnomes were missing.

He shook his head at the missed opportunity when he realized that he couldn't kill the Gnome he cut off his link with his puppet. Due to having to save the duo, he only cut off the link to distract them and make sure they didn't leave before blocking the attack, he wasn't even able to send out an attack.

Grey smiled when he saw the duo and took a glance at the Prince and the others.

"Did you miss me?" He asked with a grin on his face.

The faces of the Prince and the other Gnomes were livid. They thought they would be able to kill Klaus and Reynolds, but with Grey present, their chances of achieving that were almost zero.

"d.a.m.n it!" The Prince cussed out.

He was irate with the presence of Grey. If Grey had delayed for a minute, then they would've killed the duo before he arrived, but unfortunately for them, he came at the perfect time, they weren't even able to cause any serious harm to them.

"What are you doing here?" The Prince asked with a cold voice.

"What? You thought that guy could hold me back?" Grey asked mockingly, "Well, he's seriously injured."

The Prince was about to speak when Grey suddenly recalled something and said, "Oh right, I didn't know you guys also used Gnomes as puppets. They're very tricky to deal with, but thanks to that guy, I can just about handle them."

The eyes of the others changed when they heard this.

"What?!"

They all exclaimed.

"Wait… you didn't know?" Grey asked with a look of surprise.

He knew for a fact that they didn't know about it, he just wanted to pa.s.s on the news and leave them disorganized.

The Prince couldn't respond, and neither could the others. They all knew that doing something like that was an abomination in their realm.

"He's lying to us, he wants us to hold a grudge with him." The Prince said to the others, as if seeing through Grey's ploy.

"Why would I take the effort of cooking up such a lie? Unlike you guys, I don't have time to waste on useless things." Grey sneered.

He didn't want to rush into battle, because he couldn't sense the bunny leader. It was okay if the bunny leader was around and didn't help the duo, but it not being around was a different story. Grey might not fully trust the bunny leader, but he felt it wouldn't leave in such a manner.

"Something's wrong." He muttered to himself.

The Prince looked at him, and seeing Grey's expression, a part of his mind was telling him that he wouldn't do such a thing, but another part of him didn't want to believe it. The act of using another Gnome as a puppet was forbidden, and if anyone was caught, they would be executed without exception, even the Emperor was not included from this. This goes to show how seriously the Gnomes take this rule, yet, there was someone who had the courage to do such an act?

"Even if you don't want to believe it, it has nothing to do with me, I just thought it was common among you guys." Grey said coolly before his gaze turned cold.

"Where are the others? I don't want to bully you guys." He added.

The Prince and the other four felt angered by his words, but when they thought about what happened the last time they encountered Grey, they didn't even know how to feel. When faced with nine Peak Elemental Venerables, Grey still managed to kill one of them, and leave when he wanted to without them being able to stop him.

Now, against five of them, the chances of him doing as he pleases was very high. Adding the fact that the strongest person wasn't even present made it worse.

Five Peak Elemental Venerables were worried about facing a single Ninth stage Elemental Venerables. If news of this went out, it would cause an uproar, especially when the five were Gnomes and the person they were afraid of was a human.

Grey took a step forward and the Gnomes felt a strong pressure mount up on them. And they subconsciously took a step back.

When the Gnomes realized what was happening, they all felt a sense of shame, and at the same time, anger.

They've always been superior to humans. Why should they be afraid of a single person now?

This was a question they couldn't answer, even if they were given a year or ten years, they still wouldn't be able to come up with why they were innately afraid of Grey. At the moment, it wasn't just a fear due to being able to cut off their links with their puppets, rather, it was another type of fear.

It was like the fear of Grey was deep-rooted in them and they couldn't dare to go against him.

Grey smiled when he saw their reactions, "Good boys. Now, let's get to know each other more."

After that statement, they couldn't find Grey's figure anymore.

"We have to leave."
