Affinity: Chaos Chapter 928 The Dawson Family

Chapter 928 The Dawson Family

Grey didn't dwell too much on his Teacher coming, there was a chance that he might not even be able to see him since he might appear on the other side of the Continent.

He continued with his initial plan, head to the Dawson Family, and then go in search of Sylvia's Family in the Middle Continent.

The Dawson Family was located in the Upoya Region. That was almost on the far end of the northern part of the Continent Grey was currently in. It would take him a few weeks before he gets to that Region from where he currently is.

He didn't waste any more time and continued on his journey.

Six weeks went by pretty fast and Grey finally appeared in the Upoya Region. This part of the Continent was said to be in a state of war, two Families had been fighting for some years now, and the war was still ongoing. From what Grey had found out when he was on his way here, a peerless genius appeared in the Dawson Family some decades back, he rose to fame while he was still very young. He went on to become one of the youngest top experts in the Region.

After a thrilling battle with an old expert from another Family, his name spread across the entire Aurora Continent. Presently, no one knew his current strength, but it was said that he was feared by most of the top Factions and even Families.

The reason this battle was still ongoing was all because of his influence in stopping the other Family's army from advancing. Even when two Families joined forces, they still were not able to take the Dawson Family down, after so many years.

When Grey arrived in the City where the Dawson Family was situated, the place wasn't as bustling as the other Cities as a result of the war. Of course, it didn't mean there weren't people, it just meant there were fewer people compared to other parts of the Region.

It didn't take long before he found the Dawson Family compound, they were famous so after asking a few people, he located the place.

Standing in front of the large gates to enter the Dawson Family compound, he was stopped by the guards.

"State your business." One of the guards said while blocking his path.

"I'm a friend of Conor, is he around?" Grey told them his purpose.

"Young Lord Conor is not in the City at the moment, you can come back when he returns." The guard said calmly.

"Oh, okay." Grey replied with a blank expression.

He didn't know if Conor was around in the first place, and now that he found out that he wasn't, he was a little dejected since it was more like a waste of time.

"Who should we tell him came over when he returns?" One of the guards asked when Grey was about to leave.

"Grey Dawson." Grey replied calmly.

The two guards paused when they heard Grey's last name. They knew that this wasn't the only Grey Family. Looking at Grey, they didn't recall seeing him in the Family beforehand.

They nodded and just as Grey was about to leave, a young man who seemed to be around twenty-five years old stepped out of the Family compound.

"You're Grey Dawson?" He asked as he inspected Grey from head to toe.

"Yes, and you are?" Grey raised a brow as he looked at the figure standing before him.

This young man was already at the Peak of the Sage Plane. Even though Grey was cultivating very fast at the moment, it was still rare to see people at the Peak so young.

The young man looked at Grey once again, his eyes showing disdain.

"Henceforth, you're not allowed to bear the Dawson Family name." He said coldly.

"Huh?" Grey was taken aback by his words.

'Arrogant and foolish. I like people like this, they suffer the most.' Void chuckled as he communicated with Grey telepathically.

'He does have the right to be arrogant, and foolish as well.' Grey replied.

Thinking about it, Grey felt it was best not to clash with this young man, especially when he was in the territory of the Dawson Family. Even the Pyrmond Faction wouldn't want to get on the bad side of the Dawson Family. This, he knew after investigating them.

"You heard me." The young man said coldly.

Grey looked at him for a while, nodding his head, he turned around and planned to leave.

However, Conor arrived just at the time Grey was about to leave.

"Grey… What are you doing here?" He asked even before his figure reached the gate.

"I was heading to the Middle Continent, I thought I'd stop by and have a little chat with you." Grey replied, completely forgetting the fact that the young man was still behind him.

Honestly, he had always hated egotistical people like this young man, but he didn't want to clash with him since it would not be good for him.

"It's a good thing I came back in time then. Come, let's go in." Conor laughed when he appeared in front of Grey.

The young man stood in front of them, "Conor, this Dawson wants to be is not allowed in the Family compound."

"Eldris, even if you're going to be the next Family Head, you're still part of the younger generation like me, and you don't have that power, yet." Conor said with a cold expression.

The two guards didn't say anything and pretended as if they couldn't hear them. Grey looked on with interest.

Eldris, the young man in concern smirked and walked away. He wasn't heading into the Family compound, rather, he was going out.

Conor turned to Grey with a smile before walking into the compound. Grey followed behind him, not speaking a word.

When they stepped into the family compound, he was stunned by the sheer size of it. Not just that, but he noticed there seemed to be a thin veil protecting the compound. It not only protected it, but it also attracted the elemental essence around to this place.

This place could be said to be a holy ground for Elementalists.

'The essence here is even better than in the Faction.' Grey thought internally as they walked into the place.

The scenery was serene and there was even a lake in the compound.

'Such a nice place. It must be great coming from a big Family. Grey, why are you so poor?' Void asked with a mocking smile.

'You do know the strongest experts in the Azure Continent is regarded as a young genius here. Even some of the young geniuses here are stronger than those old folks from the Azure Continent.' Grey retorted with a sneer.

There was a large difference between the Azure Continent and the Aurora Continent.

"How have you been? I thought you damaged your core while fighting against those guys from the Syphilis Faction. Well, I didn't believe it, but they really tried to make others believe it since you kind of disappeared after that and didn't respond to their challenge." Conor said in one breath.

"Well, I was lucky. Besides, even if I wasn't in that realm, I still wouldn't have accepted their challenge. I'm not so free to be fighting against people w.i.l.l.y-nilly." Grey brushed it off.

"You're already in the Third stage of the Sage Plane, wow!" Conor finally took the time to study Grey, and seeing that Grey was already on the same stage as himself, he couldn't help but shake his head.

While Grey was still at the Peak of the Overlord Plane, he had already broken through to the Sage Plane. Now, they were in the same stage. Grey's advancement speed was out of this world.

With Grey's speed, complemented with his talent, it wouldn't take long before he gets to the Peak of the Sage Plane. At this thought, he couldn't help but shiver at the thought of an Elemental Venerable below twenty-five years of age.

If Grey truly became an Elemental Venerable before he got to twenty-five, it would be record breaking.

Conor spoke with him for a while before excusing himself.

'I wonder if uncle and aunty are around?' He thought as he walked into the inner part of the compound.

If they were around, he wanted to bring them here and introduce them to Grey. Well, his uncle was pretty famous, so it wasn't bad if Grey could talk to him. Who knows, he might even teach him a thing or two.

After Conor left, Grey was left with Void, who wanted to explore.

'If you take as much as a single step, I'll kill you.' He threatened.

Void was too gutsy, if he let him go, he might steal something shiny. It was okay while they were still in the Azure Continent, but here, he couldn't allow it.

'I'm not going far, I only want to check out a few things.' Void begged.

'No.'
