Chapter 1260 We Don't Mind A Few Allies

"Sorry, but I'm not interested in doing anything like that." Grey replied with a calm expression. He looked at everyone present with a straight face. There was no way he would accept this proposal, first off, it was too dangerous. Second, Klaus wasn't too certain if his plan would work out, so after much deliberation, the duo decided to cancel the plan.
Either way, Klaus only said it out of impulse, it was the issue of these men who took it too seriously. And from how they were acting, he was almost certain these people wanted Grey dead at all costs, if not, why would they be so adamant that he accepts the proposal and were even already discussing how he would move.
Grey stared at the few people who were not in agreement with him doing that mission. He has been taking note of the reactions of the people who were not in support of him accepting the mission. There was only two reasons he could think of, either they wanted to protect him, or they were necromancers. The former was more believable than the latter.
Necromancers would want him to take on the mission and even want him to come to the Faction they were a part of just so they could be the one to kill him. The benefits a necromancer can acquire from killing Grey was far above that of when a normal person kills him.
The Gnomes would give them a high status when they finally invade and defeat humans in the battle over the control of the Aurora Continent. If things go as planned, then the Aurora Continent would be a minor part of the Gnome Race's world and could be used to build the strength of their talents.
Of course, it wasn't something set in stone as humans were capable of fighting back against these Gnomes.
Only the top necromancers know of Grey's ability to cut off their connections with their puppets, rendering them unable to move for a short time. That was enough time for anyone to kill them. This was the reason necromancers wanted Grey dead just as much as the Gnomes did.
The Gnomes were physically stronger than necromancers, so even if they do lose their puppets, they might still be able to survive. Necromancer? Not so much.
Grey was also aware of the plans of the necromancers, hence his focus was more on the ones who wanted him to accept the proposal more than the others.
"What do you mean by that?" One of the men asked coldly.
He never thought that Grey would reject the idea, especially when his friend was the one who came up with it.
"I said I'm not interested. You guys should worry about how to purge them out, it has absolutely nothing to do with me." Grey's words were firm, he didn't want to do it, and there was nothing there people could do to change his mind.
The meeting entered a momentary silence, no one said a words as everyone stared at Grey.
Grey was unmoved by their gazes, he sat down calmly as he looked around the place, trying to see if he could sense anything wrong with any of them. Unfortunately, anyone who could easily hide in the midst of multiple Peak Sovereigns wouldn't have any issues hiding from an Elemental Venerable.
He soon gave up on the idea and focused on the main thing, finding the few people who his father wanted to deal with. According to what his father suggested, they should speak more about the secret realm and see the stance of the people present. Once they could know the stances, then they could revert back to annoying these people. That was Klaus' job.
"My father said there would be a discussion about our secret realm. A few people has been waging war with us over the past few years for it. We all know how good it is, but according to the rules, since it's located in our region, and it was found by one of us, then it belongs to us." Grey's eyes were sharp as he looked at everyone present and said, "Why aren't you people doing anything to stop them. In fact, I believe you people seem to be waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
Grey didn't hide the cold and murderous intent in his eyes.
A few of the men were annoyed by the fact that Grey was openly threatening them, and they weren't able to do anything about it.
"What do you mean by that?" The man sitting close to them asked coldly.
"We don't like people who wants to take advantage of us. If I find out any of you have such intentions, you shall bear the brunt of the Dawson Family." Grey turned to man, "Even if we have to fight to our last blood, we will make sure you get nothing."
Grey understood what his father wanted to do, but he didn't want to cause more problems for the Dawson Family. Fighting against more people would not do anything good for them. His plan was to intimidate them.
Anyone who steps forward with the idea or plan of taking advantage would be dealt with, even if it means the Dawson Family would suffer, they would make sure they don't have any manpower to keep the secret realm.
The eyes of everyone were serious. They understood the meaning of Grey's words, however, a few of them didn't seem fazed. The secret realm was something they wanted, not at all costs, but they wouldn't mind a few sacrifices to attain it.
Grey looked around and smiled softly, "We don't mind having a few allies."
When everyone heard his statement, they were stunned. The Dawson Family didn't mind having a few allies?
This was a completely different situation compared to how it previously was. In this case, they would be able to able to get into the secret realm without having to lose anyone.
