"Take care of her for me now!" Cedric shouted and then Janet broke down in tears while the mages came towards her and Grey snapped his fingers causing the Earth around her feet to disappear and Janet was arrested. Immediately, the mages in the room quickly arrested Janet and then they used Earth magic to bind her hands so she won't be able to try anything funny. "This isn't over! I promise you, i will make you all pay especially you red haired kid, you will pay! I will make sure I destroy you and your fam…" Janet was about to finish saying when Grey suddenly appeared in front of her and he grabbed her face with his hands burning with fire magic hence burning her face and causing her to scream out in pain. "Grey! Let her go please, she will be punished for her crimes!" Charlotte pleaded. "No one, absolutely no one threatens my family and goes scot free." Grey said with gritted teeth when Charlotte quickly came over and placed her hands on his shoulder. "Please, don't do this." She said. Gritting his teeth in anger, and feeling Charlotte's hand on his shoulder, he let go of Janet's face but the damage was done as her beautiful face now had burnt scars with her red luscious lips scorched black. "Get her out of here now and also take her bastard son along with her." Cedric ordered and the mages swiftly executed the order as they left the room with Janet sobbing uncontrollably. "Thank you mage Grey." Cedric said as he came over towards him and bowed slightly again while thanking him. "Without your help, I wouldn't have found out who that wretch was and you also saved my life at the same time." "Wasn't me, I didn't do anything. Noir was the one that did everything." Grey said bluntly and then turned to look at Noir who was sitting down and licking his paws nonchalantly as if it doesn't have any care in the world similar to that of a cat. "Yeah, you do have a powerful familiar." Cedric commented. 'I didn't even know that Noir could use illusion magic. How powerful is this familiar and how many percentage of its powers did it even lose?' Grey thought as he continued staring at Noir when Charlotte's voice pulled him out of his thoughts. "Thank you Grey, for saving my brother's and father's life from that wretch who I thought to be my mum." She said. "I saved your brother's life, mind you it wasn't for free. I'm still waiting for my payment though." Grey replied sharply. "Right! Here it is Grey, 6000 gold coins." Cedric said as he handed over a small chest towards him. "6000? I asked for 5000 gold coins." Grey said with a raised eyebrow. "I know but I can't help but thank you for saving my life too, so I added a thousand gold coins too." Cedric replied. "I saved your life because you were denying me of my payment and besides, I wasn't planning on saving you, it was just an afterthought since I wanted my payment and mind you, let me remind you that I did nothing to expose miss Janet, it was all Noir. So please just give me the 5000 gold coins I requested for." Grey said. 'He has integrity, a powerful mage with a strong integrity, I think I like him already… But what if?' Cedric thought as he looked at Grey then turned to Charlotte who was staring at Grey with her cheeks heating up red and then Cedric chuckled. "Fine! You will get the 5000 gold coins. But I still want to thank you properly so how about coming over for a party that I intend on throwing for Max? I want you to attend the party as a special guest of honor and then I will also introduce you to powerful nobles." Cedric smiled while handing Grey a small chest filled with the amount he requested.

Grey said and then Noir who was at the corner of the room turned into a black mist and attached itself to Grey's palm then Grey swiftly left the room in a flash using his wind magic. "This mage… we need to have him by our side soon and make sure we don't make an enemy of him." Cedric mumbled loudly. "Exactly! I also noticed that little things pisses him off especially when it involves his family." Charlotte added. "He is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode so we need to draw him close and hopefully forge a strong bond." Cedric said as he turned towards Charlotte who on hearing 'a strong bond', had her cheeks heat up red again. Meanwhile, immediately after leaving the meeting room, Grey was seen running at top speed using his wind magic and then he was out of the town's lord mansion as his hands were tightly clutched onto the chest and a smile was plastered across his face. "Finally! I have managed to make a lot of money that mum wouldn't have to work in that shitty factory again while we can get out of that hell hole neighborhood and get into the upper parts of the town." Grey said with a smile on his face as he kept on running. 'I noticed, no matter how much she tried to hide it. At some point, she always goes to bed hungry so I can be full, she also comes back with injuries on her palm which she applies a sort of ointment on it every night. But now, with this money, she wouldn't have to work again.' he thought and finally, he was in front of his house after running for twenty minutes. "Mum, I'm home!" He called out and then he opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face. ________________ {A/N} Please guys, keep supporting my book with whatever resources you have, be it power stones, Golden tickets or gifts, I will really appreciate it.
