Affinity: Chaos

1792  City Lord Vaughn

Sir Xavier could barely believe his eyes, Grey was perfectly fine after being surrounded, whereas the Black Protector who wasn't close to Grey became the one killed. While Sir Xavier was in a state of shock, the Blue Protector was in a daze, mindlessly staring at the ash on the floor. It was almost as if he had lost his soul. The Blue and Black Protector have been together for hundreds of years, growing famous as a pair of brothers. Their combined strength is far above that of other pairs, which set them apart from their peers. Never in the Blue Protector's wildest dreams would he have ever imagined that his comrade, whom he had shared countless life and death battles with, is gone from this world. How could he even bear the title of a 'Protector' without the Black Protector? Sir Xavier was stunned speechless, the Blue Protector was in a daze due to the death of his comrade, while Lord Harry was thinking of ways to settle the matter with Grey. If he took the option of silencing Grey, then he had to be a hundred percent certain that he could keep Grey here. His previous test has proved to him that it was impossible for him to keep Grey here. What made him even more worried is the fact that Grey seemed to be aware of the presence of the City Lord. Not leaving after sensing the presence of the City Lord meant that either Grey was confident he could escape, or he was just too arrogant. And from their short conversation, Lord Harry could at least tell that Grey wasn't the arrogant type. 'Can City Lord restrain that mysterious skill?' Lord Harry was stuck in a dilemma. Situations like these are better off dealt with properly, and killing Grey was the best choice since things had gotten to this level, but the mysterious skill Grey used to change positions at the last second is something that he had never seen or even heard of before. He wasn't sure the City Lord could restrain him. If he couldn't, then doesn't that mean that Grey could come and go as he pleased? With all these thoughts in mind, Lord Harry quickly came to a decision, with a smile plastered on his face, he shamelessly explained, "Little Friend, you see, the issue of unconsciously unleashing an attack when agitated is something common among the top ranking members of the City Lord Manor. I hope Little Friend won't take offense to my mistake just now, and if anything, Little Friend was able to successfully deal with it." With the smile still on his face, he added, "Why don't we start over, besides, there's no life or death enmity between us."
