Affinity: Chaos Chapter 925 Heading To The Middle Continent

Chapter 925 Heading To The Middle Continent
Later that night, Klaus, Grey, and Luthera were talking casually outside the Braun Family building when Lothar stepped out.
His expression was not the same as before, but they could still tell that he was a bit annoyed. He walked up to the trio before calling Luthera over.
Since the marriage was called off, he hadn't spoken with his daughter, and to be honest, he felt a bit guilty sending her off like that. In the end, it didn't happen which was a form of embarrassment to him.
"I know you're upset with me for the decision I made. But you also know everything I did, I did it for the benefit of the Family. I don't want to use that as an excuse to hide the fact that I was a bad father, but I do hope you forgive me." He said softly.
Luthera was a little taken aback when she heard her father apologizing to her. It was a bit strange since she had never seen this side of him before.
Tears ran down her eyes as she hugged her father. Lothar grabbed her and patted her head softly. If things worked out according to his plan, maybe he wouldn't have been apologizing since the deed had already been done, but now, even though he knew he wasn't obligated to apologize, he still felt it would be better to do so, and Luthera's mother urged him to do so.
Grey and Klaus watched the duo from the side, they didn't try to eavesdrop so they had no idea what they were talking about, but they felt the duo were probably reconciling.
Some minutes later, they walked back.
"Klaus, if you ever hurt her, I'll hunt you down." Lothar said before walking off.
"No need to worry about her uncle, besides, she's still here." Klaus said with a smile.
He had no plans of getting married now, this was something he had already spoken with Luthera about, and he believed she accepted it too. They were both still young, and Elementalists have a long lifespan ahead of them. There was no use in rushing things.
Lothar didn't speak any further, he gave Grey a deep long-lasting glance as if etching his face to memory, "What's your name?"
"Grey Dawson." Grey replied calmly.
"I see." Lothar nodded with a bit of understanding before walking off.
Grey was a little taken aback, then he suddenly recalled something. There was a Dawson Family that was pretty famous on this Continent. Whenever he called his full name to anyone, they always confused him for one of the geniuses from that Dawson Family.
Lothar was already gone, so he couldn't clear up the confusion.
'I really need to head to this Dawson Family.' He thought to himself.
The trio stayed out all night to talk, Grey didn't talk much, as usual, gazing at the stars and wondering what it would be like to ever fall in love. This was a feeling he felt was a drawback.
From what he knew, love might be a good thing, but it might also be a bad thing. It mainly depends on how you use it. For instance, love could be a great motivation for an Elementalist to grow stronger, but it can also make them lose their way.
To his own understanding, love is a double-edged sword. It brought about benefits, but it could also hinder an Elementalist.
All in all, he still wanted to focus on himself for the time being. Maybe after he was strong enough and didn't have to fear that he would lose anyone, maybe then he would let himself fall in love.
He knew however that these things couldn't be controlled or predicted. Take Klaus for example, he had always had an unserious personality and never stayed in a relationship for long. Alice even regarded him as some sort of playboy, not just Alice, but the entire crew. But now, he even took the risk of offending the Robertson Family, not just that, but also dragging Grey with him all for the sake of Luthera.
The Klaus they all knew most definitely wouldn't do something like this. Given his talent and handsome face, he would say, 'I can easily get other girls'.
And he was not wrong, his talent might not be the same as Grey's, but he was not too far behind when compared to those geniuses from the top Factions and Families with Cyan and above elemental grade.
One has to know that he still had the blue elemental grade, yet he was advancing almost as fast as Grey. His insane luck was one of the main reasons for this, but without sufficient effort and talent, he wouldn't have grown by this much.
Time went by in the blink of an eye before they knew it, two days had gone by.
Grey had already helped Klaus with what he wanted, so it was time for him to leave. He still had a few things he needed to settle, and there was also the deadline for his revenge.
He had less than a year before the competition, and given the distance from here to the Middle Continent, it was best if he started to move out as soon as possible.
He also had to be wary of the necromancers. Growing stronger was his main goal, but if he advanced too quickly, then it might be a bit of an issue for him.
Klaus was a little sad Grey had to leave. He still had a place he wanted to take Void to, unfortunately, they couldn't go because Grey had to leave so soon.
"Where are you headed now?" He asked with a sad expression.
"I'm going to the Middle Continent. When I came last time, I made a friend that wanted my help with something." Grey explained.
"Fine. Remember to be safe. Always watch out for those maggots. When I get stronger, I'll help you wipe them out." Klaus warned.
He knew a thing or two about necromancers now that he had joined a Faction.
Grey nodded. It was time for him to leave.
