Chapter 1540 Vile Means


    "You again?"


    Grey blurted out when he saw one of the figures in the building.


    The figure looked at Grey, but didn''t speak as her attention was on the person that was trying to drag the sickdy out of the ce.


    "You know her?" us raised a brow,pletely neglecting the other twodies.


    Grey nodded and replied, "She''s the brave thief."


    "Oh… I see why you spared her." usmented cheekily.


    Grey rolled his eyes, he didn''t have anything to say to us.


    "Who are you?" Thedy in a ck cloak asked coldly. She could feel some threat from both Grey and us, so she didn''t make any rash decisions.


    "We came for you." us replied.


    "I don''t think I''ve ever had any encounter with you two." The cloakeddy said.


    She kept her distance, cing thedy between her and the duo.


    "We''ve had a lot of encounters with your kind." us chuckled as he took a step forward, "And let me tell you, it all ended with them getting killed."


    The cloakeddy took a nce at the cocky us, and a hint of anger appeared on her face. From us'' statement, it was clear he knew of her identity.


    "We''re leaving." The cloakeddy said to the sickdy.


    "No."


    "We''ll kill your daughter if you don''t take me out of here, now." The cloakeddy threatened.


    "Bud." Grey called out.


    us suddenly attacked, but to the shock of everyone, he didn''t attack the cloakeddy, rather, he attacked Grey.


    This shocked everyone, but in the next second, the eyes of the sickdy, as well as the youngdy widened in surprise.


    Grey was no longer standing in the same spot, rather, it was the cloakeddy that was standing there as us'' attack hit her body.


    Bang!


    An explosion was heard and us'' ice was broken, as well as the roof of the building as a figure fled into the sky.


    Looking at the spot she was supposed to be held, a figure was seen, and Grey was able to deduce it was a puppet from the first nce. He didn''t expect thedy to be so fast with her actions. She was able to change positions with her puppet in a moment''s notice.


    "How…" The youngdy wanted to ask, but to her shock, Grey and us were nowhere to be seen.


    She wanted to go after them, but the sickdy shook her head.


    "You know them?"


    "No. I was attacked by one of them a while back."


    "Why?"


    "He took it, he''s the one I told you took it."


    The youngdy was angry, but in her tone, one could hear pain. The olderdy embraced the youngdy as she gently caressed her hair.


    "Everything will be fine."


    "That''s what you''ve been saying for years now."


    "Don''t worry. It''ll be over soon."


    ….


    While bothdies were discussing, Grey and us had caught up with thedy just a few kilometers away from the Town.


    "Tell me what you want from her, and I''ll let you leave." Grey said. He was curious what use thedy had to the Gnomes, especially after sensing her current situation. She looked to be on the brink of death.


    Grey didn''t think someone at death''s door would be of any value.


    "Why are you concerned about the Gnome''s business?" The cloakeddy asked.


    "Let''s just say I have a bone to pick with them. Now tell me." Grey''s aura changed, his tone getting colder.


    "There''s nothing you need to know." Thedy replied.


    "Is this worth dying over? I mean, others will give me the information I need." Grey said, he looked at her and smiled, "How do you think we found you?"


    The eyes of thedy widened. This was a secret mission, and even in the hideout, only a few people knew about it. Grey being able to track her and even knowing that thedy was important to the Gnomes meant he had inside information. With that inside information, he can naturally find out what he wants.


    "You promise to let me leave?" She asked.


    "I promise." Grey replied.


    Thedy was about to speak when she saw us'' eyes and said, "Him too."


    us sighed, he thought he would get the chance to kill her, but now, from Grey''s look, it was clear he wanted him to promise as well. Of course, he didn''t have any shame and would still kill her in the end.


    "I promise not to kill you." He said reluctantly.


    Thedy looked at them and brought out two stones, each were ck and Grey could sense shocking energy inside.


    "Promise on these." She tossed them to the duo.


    Grey grabbed it and studied it. He knew what it was, he just didn''t expect thedy to have it. It was obvious that she was afraid they would go back on their words. With these stones, as long as they went back on their words and killed thedy, then the origin source would attack them.


    It was a strange concept, but it works, and no one doubts it.


    us felt irritated when he saw this and promised, after seeing Grey promise without hesitation.


    Thedy heaved a sigh of relief and went on to tell them what the sickdy was going to be used for.


    Apparently, there''s something Gnomes do which involves having a human vessel. A human would be groomed over time, and when the time is right, the Gnomes could enter their bodies.


    Grey had seen something like this in the Azure Continent, but when he heard this next statement, he was stunned.


    The human body will not hold just one, but over a thousand Gnomes. The sickdy was in the First stage of the Sovereign ne, yet if used, she could hold a thousand Sovereigns, and a hundred of them could be at the Peak.


    This was an unimaginable discovery.
