Chapter 323 - Did It For The Family
"I really didn't hope it would get to this," Grey said casually before turning towards the door, to the surprise of Donald.
"Where do you think you're going?" Donald asked with a long face.
"My ride's here, I'm heading back to old man's Gerald's villa," Grey replied before placing his hand on the doorknob.
Donald was about to attack to stop him from leaving before his expression suddenly changed and you looked outside.
Whoosh! Bang!
"Sorry, I had to destroy the window. Master Gerald will cover for the cost of the destruction," A middle-aged man said after flying through the window into the office.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
The man stood between Grey and Donald as soon as he came in.
When Donald saw the man, his face turned darker.
"Diluc, what's the meaning of this?" He asked coldly.
"Nothing, I was sent to ensure his safety," Diluc shrugged before pointing at Grey.
"This is the Reiss family compound, do you really think only you can stop me?" Donald asked coldly.
"Of course not, I was only sent to show you how serious master Gerald is. For the safety of the boy, he doesn't mind going against a dying family," Diluc said nonchalantly.
Grey opened the door and walked out of the office to the dismay of Donald, he wanted to stop him, but he knew he couldn't since Diluc was there.
Diluc was regarded as one of the best geniuses Frost City had ever produced. He broke through to the Overlord Plane at the tender age of twenty-six, which was the youngest in the history of the entire city. He wasn't from any of the big families, rather, he was groomed by the Lenz organization, old man Gerald personally groomed him.
"That... that has never happened before," Sasha still had some doubts about Grey's claim. She was finding it very difficult to believe.
"What if what I offered would greatly benefit him and your family, do you think he wouldn't change his mind?" Grey said with a curious smile.
"Well, if it would benefit the family, he would change his mind," Sasha nodded thoughtfully.
If it was just as Grey said, then her father would change his mind.
"I'm sorry for how he treated you earlier," She said after a while with her head hung low.
"Even if you managed to convince my father, he wouldn't apologize for what he did," She added.
Grey looked at Sasha before shaking his head wryly, if only Sasha knew he was lying. He could tell she was greatly disappointed in her father, this was why he said this. This was Alice's family after all, he didn't want to be the cause of a conflict between them.
"Don't let Alice know of what happened today, okay, given her fiery temper, I don't know what she would do," He said with a wry smile.
"If she were strong enough, she would attack our father," Sasha said with certainty to Grey's surprise.
"What?!" Grey exclaimed, he didn't think Alice would do that but seeing how certain Sasha looked, he felt she might be right.
"Has she attacked him before?" He couldn't help but ask before he continued walking.
The only reason he stood close to Donald's office while speaking with Sasha a few moments ago was to let him know he didn't really want anything bad for the family. He would get revenge later in the future, well, that all depends on how things pan out.
If Donald continued being the dickhead he currently was, then he wouldn't mind teaching him a thing or few when he had grown stronger than him. But if he changed, maybe, just maybe he might let him go.
Donald's office.
Donald and Diluc heard Grey and Sasha's conversation. Donald's hand was currently shaking from disappointment, he looked at his shaking hands in surprise.
"Thank you," He muttered quietly.
"To think you attacked him earlier," Diluc said before heading towards the window, "Goodbye, I'll send people over to fix the door."
