Affinity: Chaos

The Giant race's hideout.

Grey was accompanied by a Giant, so it was very easy for him to get into the place. He didn't delay and went straight to the main Hall.

The Giant who was the present leader of the Giants was present, and beside him was the Giant he saw back in the lower realm.

"That's him, I can't forget his face." The Giant who had seen Grey before spoke up.

"You're the one who dealt with the entire Gnome race here?" The leader of the Giants asked, looking Grey in the eyes.

Standing before them, Grey looked like a little child standing in front of adults. His head barely got past their thighs.

"Not really, I just took out their leaders. With no one to lead, the subordinates will naturally crumble." Grey replied matter-of-factly.

He was calm and composed while in the presence of so many Giants, there wasn't even an atom of fear in his eyes, only curiosity. To be honest, he was a little baffled why the Giants wanted to meet up with him.

"You didn't call me here to speak about the Gnomes, did you?" Grey raised a brow, "If that's the reason then it seems I have wasted my time."

"Straightforward, nice. I'll go straight to the point then. There's something I need a few human's help for..." The leader of the Giants didn't speak about anything else and went straight to the point.

There was a place he needed to access, but unfortunately, only humans can open it. A powerful one at that. They had tried capturing a few people, but none of them had been able to open the place. When he heard about Grey, the thought of exploring that place came to mind and he believed with Grey's prowess, he should be able to access it.

After entering, they will discuss on how to share whatever treasures they find inside.

"I see. Who are you taking with you?" Grey squinted his eyes.

"Four others, three at the Peak and him." The leader of the Giants pointed at three people at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane like himself and then pointed at the Giant Grey saw at the lower realm.

"I can bring other humans too?" Grey asked an important question.

If he was going alone, although he was confident they wouldn't be able to kill him, after all, Void was there with him. But he still had to be cautious when dealing with others, especially powerful people like the Giant race.

lightsnοvεl With a few people by his side, he would feel a lot safer.

"Yes, you can pick four others to go with us." The leader of the Giants didn't want Grey to feel like he wanted to outnumber them, so he told him to take four other humans with him.

Grey took a look at the people the leader of the Giant race picked and sensed their auras, they were all top powerhouses at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane. It would be very difficult for Peak Venerables on the human side to match any of them, unless they were people of Klaus and Reynolds' caliber, Alice included.

Only top geniuses like his friends would be able to match up to these people. The issue is that none of his friends had the strength of a Peak Elemental Venerable. Klaus might be able to unleash an attack on the level of a Peak Elemental Venerable, but that was when he was given the chance, and it wasn't something he could do whenever he felt like it.

Taking his friends with him didn't seem like the more reasonable option, but he didn't want to go on such an expedition without them. They too needed as much treasures as they could find.

'With Klaus' luck, he should get something good from this place.' Grey fell deep in thought, 'Should I call Alice over? She might've not seen anything good during her search.'

He was stuck in a dilemma. While he was still thinking, he raised his head to look in the direction he came from. There, he could sense the aura of a few humans.

"Huh? Who are those people?" Grey muttered unconsciously.

The leader of the Giant race took a glance at Grey, seeing his confused expression, he knew he had nothing to do with the arrival of the newcomers.

"Why don't we go and find out?"lightsnovel

The leader of the Giant was the first to stand up, he walked out of the Hall, heading for the pathway that led into their hideout.

Grey followed beside him, he was also curious about the identity of these people. The aura he sensed didn't belong to any of his friends, so he was sure he didn't know the people there.

A minute later, they were standing at the gate into the hideout.

Eight people could be seen standing outside the gate, they didn't try to enter the place, just standing there and staring at the two Giants who were the guards there.

The reason the Giants didn't attack was because they didn't sense any malice from them, and the humans said they just wanted to make sure their companion who came here was safe.

They all knew of the invitation for Grey, so seeing others coming just to ensure he was safe didn't make them worry. Grey was safe, so there was no need to start a fight over anything.

When Grey walked out, he was staring at the group of people when his eyes rested on the body of a young lady. It was the lady who came in with Sylvia's younger brother.

Grey looked at her for a long time, not averting his eyes.

'Did I sense wrong?' A confused look appeared on his face.

He sensed the aura of a mark on the body of the young lady, although it was very faint, he still sensed it. He had worked with the mark before and could sense it from a mile away. The fact that he only got a short sense of it made him doubt if it were true.

'Maybe it's something related to her cultivation.'

After trying to sense it again and failing, he gave up.

The young lady on the other hand was amused with the way Grey was staring at her. Not just her, but everyone present could see that from the second Grey stepped out, his eyes had not left the body of the young lady.

A few people looked at Grey and felt he had fallen in love with the young lady just like most young people who had come in contact with her. She was a stunning beauty.

However, they were all surprised when Grey's expression fell back to its normal indifference. He didn't even spare the young lady another glance, rather, he took a look at Sylvia's brother.

"You're here." He nodded to him.

Sylvia's brother nodded as well, he took a step forward and said, "We heard you were invited by the Giants and we came to ensure your safety."

"How did you know I'd come?" Grey asked with a playful smile.

"You dared to go to the Gnome's hideout, there's no place in this secret realm you wouldn't dare to go." Sylvia's brother said.

Grey chuckled but didn't say anything. To be fair, Sylvia's brother was right. There was no place he didn't dare to go in this secret realm, however, the only reason he came here was that he was curious about the reason the leader of the Giants would want to see him.

Now that he has confirmed it, he was satisfied. There was also the tempting offer of having to go search a place. He didn't know what was inside, but since the Giants have been trying to open it, he felt there must be something good inside.

"Thank you for your care, but as you can see, I'm doing fine." Grey appreciated their kind thoughts, but he wasn't really close to them, so there was no need talking too much with them. He was still thinking about who he would take with…

It suddenly struck him, there are at least four Peak Elemental Venerables present on the side of the humans there. All he needed was to take Sylvia's brother, and any other three Peak Venerables and he should be okay. This will guarantee his safety, while also giving him a chance to obtain some good treasures.

"You know what… I need your help. The reason I came here is that I want to go on an expedition with the Giants. I need you, and those three at the Peak to come with us."

Grey didn't tell them that the Giants needed a human to help them open the place since he didn't find it appropriate. Rather, he told them he was going on an expedition with them.

The three Grey picked were all at the Peak, and he sensed they were quite strong. Two of them seemed to be well over thirty, only one of them was in his late twenties, very close to thirty.
