Chapter 1087 Trouble That Comes With Being Too Outstanding

Grey smiled coldly when he saw how these people were staring at him.

His friends couldn't care less about these people, they were hunted by an entire Continent while they were in the Azure Continent. Did these people think that they would be afraid of a mere bunch of people? Yes, it can't be denied that these people were stronger, but taking everything into account, the group wasn't strong at the time they were being chased, so it was very dangerous for them any mishap and they might've died.

Ellis saw the expressions of Klaus, Alice, and Reynolds, and he couldn't help but feel shocked, from how calm they looked, it was clear that this was not the first time they were in such a situation.

'They're already accustomed to it. F*ck!' He thought internally.

The feeling of being watched by over fifty people was chilling, it was obvious that these people didn't have any good plans for them, yet they were still so calm.

He wasn't the only one who was staring at them, Kyle, and even Keith was staring at them. Keith came with the group from the Pyrmond Faction, seeing Grey, he naturally went over to meet up with him.

Grey opened his mouth after some time, "Everyone, as you all can see, I'm a target of a lot of people. Don't think these are the only people who want to kill me, there are a few hidden in the large crowd as well, waiting for the chance. Traveling with me would only bring danger to you all. It would be best if we split up."

He wanted to split up with them. From the start, he had never been one who liked traveling with too many people. Even his small group of four looked to be a lot at some time.

Everyone thought about it after he finished speaking, other than his friends who were not swayed by the danger, the others were all thinking of it. If a large-scale battle broke out, some of them would undoubtedly die. They all know of the dangers here, dying for Grey's personal grudges with a few people didn't seem worth it at this time.

The leaders of some of the groups stepped forward, and after exchanging a few words with Grey, he left with his group. If they saw Grey in danger later on, it was up to them to decide if they wanted to help or not.

Grey might be strong, but no one felt he could fight against so many people.

"Grey, I'll have to leave with them as well. Eldris is already starting to get impatient." Conor spoke up as he approached Grey with a smile, his voice wasn't low, so Eldris heard it and snorted.

For this expedition, he wasn't made the leader, instead, Conor was the one who was told to lead the group. After finding out that Grey was the son of his Uncle, he felt a little envious. Grey's talent was already well known before his background was found out. Having such powerful parents while being a genius that didn't depend on the Dawson Family to rise was an amazing feat.

Eldris for one knew that without the Dawson Family, he wouldn't be who he is today.

Looking at how so many people were sucking up to Grey, he felt a little annoyed. Originally, he felt Conor would be the only one who could threaten his position, but with the appearance of Grey, he felt a greater threat. There was no way he would get the position with Grey around.

'If an opportunity arises, I'll kill him.' He made up his mind.

He was already in the Third stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane, so he didn't think that he would lose out to Grey. Eldris was one of the shining stars of the younger generation, in their current batch, very few people could compare to him. He wasn't as old as Ellis, but he was already close to the Mid stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

Conor, who was assigned as the leader of the group, was not even in the Elemental Venerable Plane yet, this was something that he found as an eyesore. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do to him. If anything happened to Conor, he would not have a good time in the Family.

Grey waved goodbye to them, and before long, only the people of the Pyrmond Faction were left. Apparently, they didn't show any signs of leaving.

Grey turned to look at them, "You're not leaving?"

"The Faction Leader said you're the leader of the group." One of the Elemental Venerables said softly.

Others could leave, but they couldn't leave Grey. He had a conflict with the Syphilis Faction, but it was also the same for the others in the Faction. They all hated the people from the Syphilis Faction, so that battle could be said to be against the two Factions, not just Grey's personal battle.

"Me, the leader?" Grey was lost. He saw the Faction Leader before entering this place, and he didn't even mention this to him.

Now the Faction Leader was dumping these people on him, and going against the Faction Leader's words were a bit disrespectful.

Grey felt a headache when he saw this, he was grateful that the Faction Leader thought highly of him and even protected him, even at the cost of fighting against someone stronger than himself, but doing this seemed a little inappropriate to Grey.

"Can I reject?" He turned to look at the person who spoke earlier.

"The Faction Leader said your contribution in the Lutra realm is unmatched, so he wants us to follow you." The person gave Grey a wry smile.

They've all heard of Grey's stunning performance there. Whenever people were captured, he would rush there and save these people. Although he had a conflict with someone from the Faction later on, it was said that he saved a lot of people. He even managed to initiate a deal with some people from the Lutra realm.

"Being too outstanding is troublesome." Grey sighed, defeated by the Faction Leader's way of doing things.

When the others heard his words, their eyes twitched. Klaus and the others felt like beating him up. Since Grey broke through to the Elemental Venerable Plane, they've noticed that he started bragging occasionally.

Grey made sure those from the Pyrmond Faction didn't hear his words, only his friends who were by his side.
