Chapter 772 - Next Time, I Won''t Be So Lenient


    Grey walked back to his seat, and us moved close to him with a smile.


    "You know I was the one who let you win." He said.


    "Huh?" Grey raised a brow curiously.


    "What did they give to you?" us asked curiously.


    Grey paused and sent his spiritual senses into his storage ring, before replying, "Elemental techniques."


    "All?" us asked.


    "Yeah, all are elemental techniques." Grey nodded.


    "How generous." Alice said. She never thought these people would give Grey so many gifts.


    "Truly generous indeed." Kylemented.


    "So, what now?" Reynolds asked.


    "We''re still here, let''s have some fun. It''s not like we''re following them back to the Faction." us said.


    "Actually, you are. Since you friends will be splitting up, you have two days to catch up." A beautifuldy who looked to be in herte twenties walked up to them.


    The group turned their attention to thedy. She was someone from the Moonlight Faction. By her side, two men in their early thirties walked beside her.


    They were from the Raiden and Asterope Faction. They also came to inform Alice and Reynolds that they would be leaving in two days.


    "So quick?" us asked with a sigh.


    "Normally, we would''ve left tomorrow, but in consideration of you four, we decided to wait another day." Thedy said.


    She didn''t hide the fact that they only agreed to extend their stay because of Grey and his friends. It was quite shocking when Kyle heard of it. These Factions were part of the top Factions in this Region, even in the Western Continent, they were respected. Doing this showed how highly they regarded their new proteges. Grey''s influence could not be neglected as well.


    ''Being a terrifying genius has its perks.'' Kyle sighed to himself.


    The other Factions would be leaving the next day, only three Factions would be staying longer.


    "Thank you for giving us this chance, we''ll make good use of it." Grey thanked thedy and the two men.


    They nodded their heads before inviting the geniuses from their Factions. A few of them wanted to test out their strength against Grey.


    Grey, however, rejected the challenge. The geniuses felt a little disappointed, but they didn''t take it to heart. They knew Grey wasn''t proud from the small contact they''ve had with him.


    The group left the arena, and headed for the Inn they were staying in. us suggested that they went out to celebrate their sess in thepetition, Grey wanted to stay in his room, but after us, Reynolds, and Alice joined hands in convincing him, he finally agreed begrudgingly.


    us plotted that they beat him up, they were almost sessful, but having the space element meant Grey could easily escape from their encirclement.


    ''I miss the days when we could beat him.''


    The group went out and started reminiscing about the first time they met. Kyle sat by and listened to their stories.


    Grey''s story was particrly captivating. In the space of five years, he went from a normal person to a genius respected by even the top Factions in the Western Continent.


    Overhearing how they grew, Kyle wished he was with them at that time. Watching Grey grow in strength was something that was amazing. He was sure that if he was with Grey, he would''ve grown stronger than his current strength.


    Grey''s growth was motivational, helping those close to him grow stronger.


    They stayed out almost all through the night. On their way back, they encountered some familiar faces.


    It was the trio who fought against Grey and us in the final battle. They still found their defeat shocking, but they knew there was nothing they could do about it.


    "Hello." The young man amongst the trio walked up to them and looked at us in particr.


    He heard us was the one who eliminated them from the arena. All he wanted to know was why us eliminated him first. He was stronger than thedies, so he should''ve gotten the third position, but us didn''t give him that chance.


    "Hey, you look very familiar." us said with a thoughtful expression.


    The young man was about to lose it when us smiled.


    "I''m just messing with you. How are you?" us said with a softugh.


    The young man who came with the intent of arguing with us was a little taken aback. us was very carefree and didn''t act as if they were strangers.


    "I''m okay, I guess." The young man replied after a short silence.


    "Good to know. We''re heading back home now, is anything wrong?" us asked with a casual smile.


    "No, nothing. I only wanted to congratte you two." The young man shook his head.


    He decided to let the matter go since asking wouldn''t do him any good.


    "Oh, thank you. Congrattions on joining a good Faction." us shook the young man''s hand before the group continued their journey.


    The young man looked at us, and seeing the contrast between the current us and the evil us they fought against, he shook his head.


    "Howe he''s so friendly?" One of the youngdies asked.


    "Honestly, I don''t know." The young man replied with a wry smile.


    They expected us to talk in the same manner he did back in thepetition. That way they would have a conflict with them, then in the process, one of their Sage ne Elementalists who was hiding in the cover of the darkness woulde out and attack Grey and his friends.


    But us was able to speak to them in such a manner that they couldn''t do anything.


    "I guess it''s best if we let this matter go. I don''t think shing with them will be good for us." Thest youngdy said.


    The young man and the youngdy looked at her before nodding their heads.


    When they walked back to where their Sage ne Elementalists were hiding, they were stunned to see all of them lying on the ground out cold.


    "What happened?" The young man panicked.


    "You''re lucky you didn''t continue with your n. Next time, I won''t be so lenient."


    A cold voice came from the shadows, sending chills down the spines of the trio.
