"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. "I said what I said… you aren't getting your payment for accusing my wife wrongly!" Cedric said. "Do you know who I am? Did you know what I went through before I got your idiotic son back alive?" Grey asked in anger as fire and lightning blazed all around his body brightly while his teeth were grit. "I almost died especially from your idiotic daughter's interference and your son being mind controlled." "And it is my problem how? You were going to get your payment but you had to go accuse my precious wife for that hideous crime!" Cedric shouted as he shot out of his seat. "You…" Grey was about to say when Charlotte interrupted him. "Please Grey, calm down." Charlotte said. "Calm down? Did you just say I should calm down? You were the ones who forced me to say the truth and I did. And your dad is denying me my payment after I went through hell to save his son." Grey shouted and Charlotte shrank back after feeling the pure anger coming off of Grey. "Don't you dare insult my family again you peasant!" Cedric shouted at Grey. "What did you just call me?!" Grey asked with fire swirling around his arm more. "I called what I called you! You peasant!" Cedric retorted back. "That does it!" Grey said and then stretching his hand, Cedric was suddenly floating towards Grey while his other hand was still blazing with fire magic. "Grey that is enough!" The wind mage shouted as he shot out a dozen wind blade towards Grey who causally swung his hand around breaking them precisely when he saw a thin shard of ice coming towards him. Quickly, he lifted an Earth wall blocking it when a stream of water hit the wall breaking it apart and causing him to go skidding while letting go of Cedric who was grabbed with his wind magic earlier. "Grey stop it!" Charlotte shouted as the town lord got up to dust himself. "For what you tried to do to me, I hereby call for your arrest on the charges of accusing my wife and attempting to kill a town lord." Cedric called. "You say what?!" Grey asked and then fire began surrounding his hands when he heard a loud shout in his head. "Will you calm down you fool!" Noir shouted in his head and as if a spell was cast upon him, he suddenly calmed down and all his magic got dispelled. "There are other ways to solve a problem than using brute strength you doofus!" And that was when a black mist escaped out of Grey's hand and landed in front of him while taking a shape of a small red wolf. "Is that…" The wing mage said. "The…" The ice mage stuttered. "The legendary red wolf familiar, the strongest of them all." Charlotte commented as she stared hard and long at noir in front of her. Opening up a mind link with everybody in the room especially Cedric,Noir began speaking. "I'm sorry for my host's irrational behavior and hotheadness towards you all. And lord Cedric, he is speaking the truth about your wife's betrayal and I can prove it." 'Noir is speaking calmly?! This is a first even for me… wait! He has a way to prove what I'm saying? How?' Grey thought in shock. "Oh really?! How do you want to prove it?" Cedric asked and he wasn't sure if he was imagining it, but it felt like the wolf smirked. And then Noir informed them all of how he was going to prove that Grey was saying the truth and their whole roles in the plan starting with one of the mages that were stationed outside. Listening to his plan, Grey was astounded as he hasn't thought the familiar to be this smart and powerful and without wasting time, they all got to work. _______________ In one of the rooms in one of lord Cedric's mansions, because he had built different mansions for his two wives so they won't be argument between them as they didn't get along. The small mansions were on either side of lord Cedric's huge mansion so whoever was lucky to have the town lord for the night, would be visited in their house. A female was seen sitting in front of a mirror while another female was standing above her arranging her hair. The seated female had slick beautiful black hair with green eyes and a robust figure with the her chest a little bigger than a watermelon. And her cheeks were puffed up a little. It could be said that this woman was very beautiful as her maid was attending to her hair and this woman was Janet. 'Darn it! I can't believe that Cedric really succeeded in rescuing that accursed child! How the hell did Bale fail to do the job perfectly even with all the information I provided him? He is truly worthless!' Janet thought in anger. "And you! Do it properly! You are pulling my hair and it's painful, don't let me execute you!" Janet screamed at the person tending to her hair. "I'm sorry ma'am." She quickly apologized and began tending to Janet's hair carefully. But then a loud knock was heard on the door interrupting Janet's thoughts.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry for disturbing you, but you have a visitor waiting for you in your meeting room. He says it is very urgent." The person announced. "Visitor? Who could that be?" Janet asked. "I know not of his name ma'am but he said you know him." 'Know me? Who the hell is that?' she thought. "Fine! You can leave, I will be there shortly." Janet said and then she stood up and arranged her crimson dress and briskly walked out of the room. She walked around the courtyard of the house seeing her maids doing their works properly while also greeting her anytime she walked past. The house was smaller than Cedric's but each of the wives lived with their children peacefully. Getting to the meeting room, she could see one of her mage stationed there and he was the one who opened the door for her letting her through as she could see the back of a bulky man in the room. "I was told someone wanted to see me, are you the one?" Janet asked. "Yes Janet." She heard the person call her by the name and the voice sounded awfully familiar. Then the man slowly turned around to reveal his face which shocked Janet out of her wits at who she was seeing. "Bale?!"
