Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 635 - Trouble II

The corpse stood in the sky, staring at them without moving. It was clearly following the instructions of the person controlling it.

Klaus and Reynolds were a little downcast, they didn't need Grey to explain to them their current situation. From how they had been tossed out of the turbulent space tunnel, they knew it was the work of this corpse.

"What do we do now?" Alice asked.

"What else can we do?" Grey turned to look at the Crown Prince who was their hostage.

Jason seeing their gaze knew what they were thinking, and even he knew that in a situation like this, he would definitely do the same thing. The only problem with their current plan was that, other than the Qilin Empire, the other three empires didn't care about him.

There was no way the Qilin Empire could fight against all of them alone. But the Emperor wouldn't want his son to be killed nonetheless, so there was still a little bit of hope for them.

They were once again surrounded by the groups from the four empires, and after staring at the corpse for a few seconds, most of the people turned their gazes to them.

When they disappeared all of a sudden, it shocked all of them to no end. The group from the Qilin Empire had already witnessed this once, but it wasn't as clear as this one. Also, the fact that they could use it meant that one of them had grasped this amazing ability as well.

They couldn't help but be amazed at the genius of these youths, and for a small moment, the Emperor of the Qilin Empire actually regretted his choice of action. Had he left the group alone when he heard of the news, and even protected them, then he would've been able to nurture four brilliant youths.

'What's done is done. I can't rewind time,' The Emperor thought to himself.

Things were already like this, there was nothing he could do to change it. The only thing that had him a little worried was his son who was held captive by Grey and his friends.

The twins from the Qilin Empire exchanged glances before the one who was an Emperor spoke up, "The kids are from our empire, so we naturally have the right to pick first,"

"Although you're not wrong, that's not in a situation like this. We can't let you pick the best out of them and leave the leftovers for us," An old man from the Azure Empire snickered.

"Who are you calling leftovers?" Klaus refuted angrily.

"Stupid," Alice smacked the back of Klaus' head.

This was not the time to be arguing over who was called leftover or not. They had to think of how to escape from here, alive and intact.

Klaus knew this was not the time to be playing around, but seeing people who were distributing them as if they were loot annoyed him. If not that he wasn't strong enough, he would've challenged all of them, and killed them.

Reynolds clenched his fists tightly as he gritted his teeth.

Grey's expression had turned back to its usual indifferent look. Of the group, he was the only one who didn't seem to be panicking.

While the Emperors were discussing, he was thinking of ways to escape from their current predicament. He had also been in constant contact with old man Gerald, trying to see if there was a way he could help. Unfortunately, since it involved Sage Plane Elementalists, there was nothing he could do. After all, the Sage Plane was the pinnacle of the Azure Continent, and even though he was acquainted with a few, he couldn't control them.

The only person who could help them now was the Principal, and there's only so much a single person could do.

There are over ten people present here who were stronger than the Principal, after all, it hadn't been too long he broke through to the Sage Plane.

The Principal will naturally not let them take Grey and the others that easily.

Before long, the groups had come to a concession. Grey would be left with the Qilin Empire, while Alice would be taken by the Blue Wind Empire. Klaus would be going to the Azure Empire, while Reynolds would be taken by the Stellar Empire.

Just as they wanted to take them, Grey moved, creating a lightning blade, he placed it on Jason's neck.

"If anyone comes close I'll cut off his head," He said slowly.

The Emperor of the Qilin Empire froze, as well as his entourage. They naturally didn't want Jason to die, but that was not the same for the other empires. They progressed as planned.

"You think I'm joking?" Grey pushed the lightning blade into Jason's neck and blood slowly started to drip out. The lightning started to affect him.

The Emperor of the Qilin Empire yelled at the other empires to stop their movements, "Stop!"

"Heh! Robert, that's your problem. Besides, you were the one who said you wanted that boy," The Emperor of the Azure Emperor sneered as he continued his movement.

The Emperor of the Qilin Empire turned to look at one of the old men in his group, "Father,"

"Don't worry," The old man took a step forward, appearing in front of the group, stopping them from moving.

Just when hope started to sprout in the minds of Grey and his friends, the old man turned, and before anyone could react, Grey and his friends fell to the ground, incapacitated.

Even Grey was stunned by how everything turned quickly. The old man released a mysterious force that overwhelmed them.

"In the presence of real power, all schemes and plots are useless," The old man said with both hands behind his back.

Grey tried to raise his head, but the pressure was too much for him to bear. Even Void was having a difficult time staying up.

Despair appeared on the faces of Grey and his friends.
