Chapter 900 Swept Under The Rug

The Elder turned to look at Grey, a little tired from the issue. He didn't know what to do since all Grey did was take revenge against people who wanted to kill him, however, it was against the Faction's rules for one member to kill another.

In a way, he couldn't say he felt any pity for Nathan and Foudre after Grey killed them, but with the background of Foudre, things would be a little difficult for them to push it aside. Nathan's background was slightly negligible, but Foudre had uncles who were part of the higher-ups in the Faction.

"You'll return back to the Faction, the Faction Leader will deal with this issue." The Elder was glad he wasn't the Faction Leader, with a simple wave of his hand, he transferred the matter to the Faction Leader. He didn't need to worry or even think about how it would be resolved.

He took Grey and Eva back to the Faction Leader who was alone. After telling him everything he heard, he left them alone since he still had to guard the portal.

The Faction Leader saw the facial expression of the Elder and knew he wanted to leave the place as soon as possible. He couldn't help but shake his head. Being the Faction Leader was a huge responsibility since he had to take care of multiple issues.

He looked at Eva and Grey, "You'll not speak of this to anyone else, I'll settle it."

The duo nodded, and with a wave, Eva was sent to the Faction, leaving only Grey.

"You could've reported them to the Faction, it would've been easier to deal with them that way." The Faction Leader looked at Grey with a somewhat dejected look.

"No, since I wasn't dead, at most the Faction would expel them. I've read the rule books, it'll favor them." Grey told the Faction Leader his reason for dealing with the matter on his own.

"Foudre's background is a little complicated, his family members will not let this matter slide. Of course, that's if they hear about it." The Faction Leader caressed his temples.

Grey could already guess what he wanted to do from his words, the Faction Leader planned to keep it from the other Elders. Now Grey understood why the Faction Leader warned them not to speak of it to anyone else.

"Thank you." Grey bowed, he knew this wasn't easy for the Faction Leader since he had to face the repercussions if word of what Grey did came out. But given the chance, he would take the same step.

"You can leave. Please, try to stay out of trouble." The Faction Leader felt a headache.

He knew the members of Foudre's family already knew of his death, likewise that of Nathan's, they would try to seek out why they died and news of what happened would eventually come out.

'I'll protect him, no matter what.' He concluded internally.

There was no way he was going to allow anything to happen to Grey. To him, not just him, but most of the Elders, Grey was their future, they couldn't afford to lose him.

Keeping him in the Faction would keep him safe, but it would also bar his growth, so they had to take the difficult choice of letting him explore the world.

Pyrmond Faction.

Grey appeared in his house, it was the same way he left it. Looking around, he brought out his communication device, it was time to answer his friends.

When he sent his spiritual consciousness inside, his head was flooded with messages and he almost had a headache.

"What's happening with Klaus?" He couldn't help but wonder.

He sent a message to Klaus and had almost an instant reply, classic Klaus.

'Where the hell have you been?!' Klaus' voice echoed in Grey's head.

Grey chuckled awkwardly but told him of his trip to the Lutra realm and how he almost died.

'It's nice that you're alright.' Klaus heaved a sigh of relief.

While the duo were still speaking, Alice and Reynolds joined in on the conversation thanks to Klaus notifying them of Grey's presence.

After apologizing to the group and promising to cook them a good meal when they next meet, he asked Klaus what he needed help with.

According to Klaus, there was this girl he met when he went out for a trip, they became friends after some time and he started to like her. After confessing his love, he found out the feeling was mutual.

A few months later, he found out the girl's family wanted to marry her off to another family in hopes of creating ties.

The girl refused since she didn't like the guy they wanted to marry her off to, but her parents didn't listen to her.

Klaus charged over when he heard this, but he was unable to convince them not to marry her off to another family, after all, he wasn't from a powerful family. Other than being a genius who managed to join the Moonlight Faction despite only accepting girls, there was nothing else in his résumé.

He tried to get the guy who wanted to marry her into giving up, but the guy told him to 'stop the marriage if he dared'. And he planned to do just that, with Grey's help, of course.

'So what's the plan?' Grey asked.

'I'll get him to compete with me in front of everyone present. If I win, I get to marry her.' Klaus replied.

With such a large crowd, the young man would not want to refuse since it would affect the reputation of his family.

'You'll need some protection from your Faction. This will definitely make the guy's family hate you.' Grey said.

'I already spoke with an Elder, she agreed to follow me there. She wouldn't appear, unless necessary.' Klaus replied.

'Alright, I'll make a stop at your place before leaving. When's the marriage?' Grey agreed to go with him.

'In two days.' Klaus replied with a burst of sheepish laughter.

Grey almost facepalmed, 'What would you have done if I didn't respond?'

'I'd still go.' Klaus replied with determination.
