Chapter 495 - It's You!
Ernst City.
For the past week, the city has been abuzz because of the news of a youth challenging all the youths below twenty years of age.
According to what was said, the granddaughter of the Gayle's family head was defeated by this young man, almost killing her. It was said that he even crippled her.
The Gayle family head sent out a request, promising to hefty reward to anyone who can defeat this young man.
All the young geniuses in the city were heading towards the arena in the city. This was the place the showdown was going to take place.
In a city as big as this, it was unimaginable how many people would turn up to challenge Grey, and there's also the people who would come to watch the battle.
....
The arena.
It was already filled to the brim with people. Most of them were already discussing about the identity of this mysterious young man, and why he was able to cripple the daughter of the Gayle family and go unpunished.
One has to know that the Gayle family is one of the big families in this city, and no one would dare to be disrespectful towards them.
The Pyro Faction had close ties with them, so even if they couldn't deal with the backers of this young man, the Pyro Faction should be able to.
In the special area of the arena.
"It's already noon, where is this person that got us all gathered here?"
A middle aged man asked the head of the Gayle family.
"What's the hurry?" The lady said while stepping into the plaftorm in the arena.
She turned to look around, impressed by the influence of the Gayle family.
"Wow! So many people came. But, since we're the ones organizing this show, it's only proper that they pay a gate fee," She said.
Her words almost made Grey trip and fall when he heard it.
'Klaus and Reynolds would like traveling with you,' He said internally.
Void was currently having the time of his life. With someone powerful as a backer, he could do almost anything. What was worse was that he had her full support, there are times when she was even the one encouraging him to go out and steal.
During the time he was training, Void had come to the city a few times, looting from some of the major families. The reason the problem hasn't escalated was that the lady told him to only steal a few things, making sure it would be difficult for the people who check the treasury to find out.
Void's ability to bypass any array formation was unbelievable. Even the lady had complimented him severally because of it.
According to the lady, today was the final day of their stealing since after the battle, they would leave this place with the teleportation array.
Currently, all the powerhouses from each family are here, with no powerful person behind, Void could let loose. Taking as much as his spatial storage could contain.
Only now did Grey know the original plan. The lady didn't make this challenge to help Grey grow stronger, she did it so that they could gather all the powerhouses here and steal from their treasury with no one as strong as them watching.
....
The man with amber hair stood up when he heard the lady's voice. He wanted to confront her.
As soon as he walked to the edge of the special area, he paused, his pupils shrunk, and he was fidgeting slightly.
"It's you!" The lady's voice came from the platform.
She was pointing at the leader of the Pyro Faction.
