Chapter 970 Why Do You Look Familiar?

"He's lost."

Those from the Burchard Family gave up when they saw Grey being challenged.

Once Grey was defeated, they would have only four people left, and all of them were at the Peak. Even if all four were victorious, it still won't put them in a favorable position.

Sylvia and those from the Burchard Family had dull faces. This competition seemed to be taking the same path as the previous ones, ending in their defeat.

Grey walked to the platform, he knew everyone felt he had lost, but he wasn't too concerned, until the battle was fought, no one knew who would win.

'Personally, I'd like to fight against that guy, but unfortunately, I have to show my hand now.' Grey thought, a little sad he didn't get to fight the young man who made him come.

"Are you sure you want to fight this battle? Since you're weaker, you can give up." The old man's voice rang on the platform.

Those from the Burchard Family and the Nether Faction turned to look at the old man. Even Grey was a little confused. Clearly, the old man seemed to be favoring him for some reason unknown to him.

He was certain he had never seen this old man named Brook before, yet the old man was making things easy for him. He even said he could give up.

"Thank you for your concern Elder, I'll go ahead with the battle, if I can't, I'll give up. There's no harm in trying." Grey replied respectfully.

"If you say so." The old man nodded before giving the go ahead for the battle.

On the side of the Burchard Family.

"Are you sure he's just a common person?" The leader of the Burchard Family turned to Sylvia.

"Yes, he confirmed it to me himself. At first, I thought he was associated with the Dawson Family, but when I asked him about it, he told me he had never been to the Western Continent at that time, much less come in contact with them." Sylvia replied.

"What if he was lying?" An Elder asked.

"When I met him, he was still at the Peak of the Origin Plane. Do you think someone of that low realm can lie to me and I won't know? I've also done my research, there's no one in the Dawson Family with his name, and neither was there in the extended family. Do you think the Dawson Family will have such a genius and let him roam this freely without any protection?" Sylvia confirmed to them.

She had her ways of figuring out if someone in a lower realm was lying, so when she said this, none of the Elders tried to argue with her any longer.

"Hmm, do you think there's any chance of him joining us then?" The leader asked.

"Not likely. He only agreed to participate in this competition for a funny reason, revenge." Sylvia said with a wry smile.

Although she hated to admit it, she still felt a bit sad that Grey only came because he wanted revenge and not because she wanted him to come.

"Such a foolish reason. He'll only die then." An Elder who seemed to not be on Grey's side from the start in the Burchard Family snorted coldly.

"I know his character, he's not someone who wouldn't do something he's not sure of. Since he came for revenge, he has his ways of getting it." Sylvia said, she fully believed in Grey.

Well, not when he's fighting against someone at the Peak of the Sage Plane though.

Back on the platform.

Grey was staring at the young man standing in front of him.

"You should've taken the lifeline you were offered." The young man said coldly.

His eyes were red, it was clear that he seemed to have a certain hatred toward Grey.

"Don't worry, the likes of you can't kill me." Grey replied nonchalantly.

"Arrogant, I'll make you beg for death. After that, I'll kill you." The young man said with hate.

"Huh? Why do you look familiar?" Grey suddenly realized something and looked at the young man with a curious expression.

He seemed to fall deep in thoughts, seemingly trying to recall where he saw the young man before and why he felt he was familiar.

"You killed my sister." The young man said through gritted teeth.

"Ha! No wonder you looked so familiar. I've forgotten her face so soon. I'm sorry I didn't think she would not be able to escape from the attack." Grey smacked his thighs in realization.

When the young man heard Grey say, he didn't think she would not be able to escape.

"You dragged her into the explosion, you fiend!" The young man exploded with anger.

Everyone clearly saw the impact of the explosion pushing the young lady away, but Grey used the space element to drag her back into the explosion, killing her in the process. Only a fool would believe Grey's words.

"I did that? Well, let's forget about her. She's in the past now." Grey waved offhandedly.

This infuriated the young man even more.

"Don't worry, you'll also be part of the party soon enough." He said in anger.

Grey shrugged his shoulders as if he was not bothered by the young man's threat. Seeing this made the young man even more annoyed.

The old man called for the start of the battle and the young man charged at Grey.

Grey, already expecting a violent attack from the young man, retreated. Even though he was confident, if he didn't enter the Fusion State, he would undoubtedly lose against such a powerful opponent.

? The young man was still a Peak Sage Plane Elementalist, as soon as Grey was retreating, he closed the gap and attacked with the fire element.

Grey vanished from where he was standing, dodging the attack. However, another attack was sent out by the young man, a lightning attack this time.

Grey blocked but was pushed back by the attack. His hands went numb when the attack broke through his earth wall.

'Damn it, this guy is tough.'
