Chapter 281 - It's Been Long
Lunar City, the Mayor's office.
"My Lord, I have something to report." A guard's voice could be heard from outside the office.
The new Mayor was currently seated on his seat, accompanied by two men. He had a slim build and short grey hair with a mustache. He looked to be around his late thirties.
"Come in." He said calmly.
The guard entered the office and bowed with a knee to the ground.
"Speak."
"My Lord, a young man was sighted entering the City with a black cat on his shoulder, we believe he's the one you have been looking for." The guard reported.
"Where is he?" The Mayor stood up instantly on hearing this.
"He headed to the southern part of the city but disappeared soon after." The guard reported with his head still bowed.
"Fools! How can a brat in the Origin Plane disappear just like that? Search the city, he's still inside. Block the gates, no one goes in or out." The Mayor ordered.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
This time, he not only kept his disguise on, but Void was nowhere to be seen. After he heard what Hugh said, he knew he messed up when he entered the city. But what kept bugging him was that he didn't know why the new Mayor was so adamant on getting him, what did he have or know that brought so much interest to him?
When he got close to the city gate, he knew his conjecture was right, the guards definitely recognized him when he entered the city previously.
'Hey, can't you just jump over the wall? The other side is very free.' Void who was nowhere to be seen advised.
'No, this isn't a small city like Zivia City, there's a huge detection array around the walls. The guards would instantly be aware once I do that.' replied Grey.
He was only able to know this because he was friends with the son of the previous Mayor. Klaus, being a good friend, told him a lot of the city, especially after his father stepped down, he even told him where the city treasury was located in the Mayor's compound, in case he planned on robbing the new Mayor.
'What do we do now?' asked Void.
'Wait it out, it's not like I'm in a hurry anyway. I'm going to a tavern,' said Grey.
'It's been a long time since I tried comprehending the elements. I've been so focused on the space element that I forgot I have a technique for the darkness element.' He thought.
There's no way the Mayor would keep the city closed for the entire day, even if he does, it's none of his business. He could even keep it closed for a month, it was none of his business.
Grey went to a tavern that was close to the Mayor's compound, with his disguise on, he didn't have a problem with taking a room. When he entered his room, Void appeared, but Grey didn't bother with him.
He sat crossed leg and entered a semi-conscious state, his spiritual self appeared in the Chaos Space.
"Other than my fire element, the rest are either blue or purple grades. Instead of increasing the ones on purple, I should find a way to get a new element. It's been so long I had a new element." Grey muttered out.
While in this spiritual state, he couldn't take the things in his spatial ring here. Since he planned to comprehend the darkness element, he came out of the Chaos Space and brought out the darkness element techniques he got from Quinn. He had a lot of time in his hands, so he started slowly studying it.
