Immediately they jumped out of the hole, they were running through the streets and the people that were walking around casually turned to look at them as they could see them bruised and injured while one of them was floating above the ground unconsciously. Looking back at where the strange injured people had popped at from, they could see it was from their town lord's mansion and they could even see a huge hole in the wall. Bale's mansion was in the middle of the town unlike Cedric's which was at the edge of the town. The people were now scared and confused by what was going on and why the strange people were running looking badly injured and tired. Despite the strange looks given to them by the people, Grey wasn't bothered as he ran at top speed almost leaving the others behind. 'I can't believe it, I'm now faster than before. I was fast before because of my affinity to the wind magic and now, my speed has doubled seemingly from my new affinity to lightning. Is there anybody that could even defeat me?' Grey thought when the image of Amir flashed through his mind. The image was of him killing the level 4 beast easily using his strange sword magic or so. 'Right! There are still some strong powers in this world so I shouldn't get ahead of myself otherwise I would be crushed quickly.' he thought as they kept running and now they were in front of the gate. When they got to the gate, they thought they would be stopped by the mages in the towers but they were surprisingly let through which meant they heard Bale's message clearly. Jumping into their carriage while the driver was sitting down with his legs hung above and his eyes closed, they all shouted at the driver jolting him awake. "Step on it now!" and immediately, the carriage went speeding off from the town. Looking back anxiously thinking they would be followed was the wind mage as he peeped to see absolutely nobody chasing after them. After ten minutes of driving and continuously looking back, they finally breathed a sigh of relief after they had crossed the town's border. "That's a relief." The ice mage said as he relaxed back into his seat to calm his widely beating chest. "Guys! Huddle around!" Charlotte said and the ice and wind mage came towards her and her hands began glowing white with water surrounding it. "While we were running, I managed to recover some of my mana to do this." "Water magic! Healing hands!" She called out and placed her hands over the men and their wounds were closing up while they began to feel refreshed a little. "This is not like light magic which naturally specializes in healing, but it will have to do until we get back." The ice mage said as Charlotte had finished healing him up and went towards Max to do the same before she sat back down. "Do you need a special invitation before you bring your pitiful arse over here?" Charlotte shouted at Grey. "I don't need your help nor your charity." Grey replied coldly as he looked out the window when he suddenly felt cold hands on him. "Well too bad I need to thank you for saving my brother even though you still asked for payment." Charlotte said and then Grey's scorched body were healing up while sweat was beginning to form on Charlotte's face. "And this is also an apology for what Max did to you." She said again while Grey felt refreshed and all his scorched up body and external injuries healed up before Charlotte stumbled back almost falling down. But Grey had quickly used his wind magic to catch her and lay her softly on the chair while she was breathing and panting hard. "You did well even though I thought you were weak… although you are still weak." Grey said and Charlotte shot him a glare while he chuckled and looked out the window. 'I didn't notice it before because of my urge to rescue Max but I can see it now. He is cute… Not like i have any feelings for him whatsoever!' She screamed in her head while her cheeks heat up slightly and she turned away from him. The journey back took around fourty minutes before they finally reached the town of Kiten and driving more, they got to Cedric's mansion and finally, they took Max to his room to lay him down while mages that specialized in water healing magic, rushed over to check up on him while all the family members came over to see Max. Grey was outside leaning on the wall with his arms folded while his eyes were closed patiently waiting for the town's lord to come give him his payment. Finally! After ten minutes of staying in the room, Cedric called Charlotte, Grey, the wind mage and ice mage to his office. When they got there, they could see the smile on Cedric's face after confirming his son was safe and sound. "I guess the rumours weren't exaggerated one bit mage Grey." Cedric said as he saw the red haired individual walk into the room nonchalantly. "Whatever." Grey said and then he stood in front of Cedric who had a big pouch in front of him and jiggling it, Grey heard the sweet sounds of coins in it. "Uhm town lord Cedric, Grey has something to say to you." Charlotte said pulling Grey out of his thoughts on how to spend the gold coins. "Me? What do I have to say?" Grey asked when Charlotte used her eyes to communicate to him. "Why can't you? Aren't you his family?" "What is the matter? What do you all have to say to me?" Cedric asked as his hands had been outstretched earlier with the pouch in hand when he suddenly pulled it back. "Please Grey, do the honors!" The wind mage said. 'Why me? Now they have gone and put me in a tight position.' he thought annoyed. "lord Cedric, the thing is… there is a betrayal in your family and she is one of your wives that wants Max dead for the throne of the town for her son." Grey said bluntly. "What?! Who is that?" Cedric asked. "It's mother Janet." Charlotte said and then Cedric's eyes widened in surprise and shock at the same time as Janet was his most cherished wife. "Impossible! I refuse to believe this outrageous lie!" Cedric said angrily. "Whether you believe it or not, is none of my business… all I want is my payment." Grey said as he stretched his hand expecting the pouch of coins on it. "What effontery! You expect me to believe that my own wife, who has been by my side for years, would betray me? And you still want to receive my money after accusing her wrongly?!" Cedric shouted. "I want you to leave my office now or else I would lock you up for daring to accuse Janet." "What did you say?!" Grey asked with his voice low like a growl while lightning began cackling around him hitting the ground and even the table Cedric sat on while the noble trio that saw this, broke out in sweat. 'What have you done dad? You have gone and awakened a monster!' Charlotte gulped loudly. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
