"How do we get him?" Grey asked the man.

"I can bring him out, but it'll take a while." The man replied.

"Alright." Grey walked over to the man and for precautionary measures, placed the fusion orb alongside an array on both his brains and cores.

He didn't want to take any chances with someone as powerful as the man. This was a person who created a method of controlling someone without them even being able to remember what happened during that period of time, the chances that he can easily bypass just the fusion orb was really high.

When Grey got close to the man, there were signs of hesitation from him, but he didn't argue and let Grey do what he wanted.

"If I take you back, Aries will want you dead. I'm going back to tell her the culprit will arrive shortly." Grey said.

Grey didn't think he would meet two special people in such a short time, and unlike the previous people that had followed him, he was the one who recruited these ones. To a certain extent, it could be said that he was slowly building an army of freaks to fight against the Gnomes and the rest of his enemies.

Being able to control someone and know what is happening wherever they are is amazing.

"Get him to come meet us somewhere close, I'll be hiding around to take him out." Grey said and vanished, he didn't take the man with him.

….

Back in the town.

Klaus and the others were still in the building, the man they fought here was also there with them.

"Why is he taking so long?" Reynolds asked.

"He'll be fine." The man said.

Klaus glared at the man, it was clear he still didn't have a good impression of the man. Even though the man helped them apprehend whoever was causing all this, it was not enough for him to forgive him for what he did to Reynolds. If he didn't act quickly by freezing him, and had Grey delayed, then Reynolds might've been dead.

He isn't sure there's anything the man could do that will make him forgive him for that.

The man saw Klaus' gaze but didn't think much of it. He wasn't too interested in Klaus and the others, if not for Grey, he wouldn't even be here in the first place.

They were about to speak when Grey suddenly appeared.

"Where is he?" Aries asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, the main culprit will be coming soon." Grey smiled before turning to Klaus, seeing his expression, he knew he was upset.

"He's not a difficult person to deal with. You know necromancers are useless against me." Grey chuckled and walked over to where the trio were kept.

"What about these guys?" Reynolds pointed at them.

"They don't know what's happening. According to what I know, they won't even have a memory of what they're doing while being controlled." Grey said.

"So you're saying?" Aries questioned.

"They are good." Grey answered, "They have no memory of ever being necromancers, nor do they even recall coming here."

"How can such a technique exist?"

Even the man was stunned by this discovery. He didn't think there was a way something like this would happen, only after hearing it from Grey's mouth did he realize that it was true.

"Difficult, but as you can see, it's possible thanks to a crazy mind." Grey answered.

"We should leave, I'll take you to the person doing all this in a few hours." He turned to Aries and said.

Klaus looked at Grey coldly, but didn't say anything. He was still pissed that Grey left them behind while chasing a dangerous opponent.

"You're too confident in your ability, it'll put you in trouble some day." He commented when he saw Grey's nonchalance.

"Don't worry, I'm not dumb. I'll make sure to be very careful whenever I do things like this next time." Grey said in a defeated manner, he knew arguing with Klaus was pointless, and besides, he knew Klaus was right too.

Klaus didn't say anything, he snorted and went outside with Alice and the others.

Grey was left inside the place with the man.

"Did you kill him?" The man asked.

"No, let's say he picked the same option as you did." Grey replied.

"Why are you gathering us?" The man asked.

"I'm in a situation I can't handle alone, I just need some help." Grey replied with a shrug.

Grey and the man spoke for a while before leaving and meeting up with his friends. This was the first time he was having a good conversation with the man and he learnt his name in the process, the man was called Lewis.

….

"Who's the culprit?" Aries asked when Grey stepped out.

"Another Elder from your Faction." Grey replied, seeing the skepticism in the face of Aries, he said, "This one knows what he's doing."

"And the person you went after?" Aries asked.

"Not troublesome, he's cool." Grey replied.

"Meaning?"

"He's only a pawn. There's no point killing him."

"But he's the one the link is connected to."

"It's not that serious. Don't worry."

"Why are you covering for him?"

"He's of use to me. He will not cause any more problems here."

When Aries heard this, she didn't speak anymore.

"Make sure he doesn't cause any problems here."

"Don't worry." Grey smiled, he recalled something and said, "Oh, and he'll be leaving this place soon, so you don't have to worry about him. There are others you should be concerned about though."

Aries didn't like the fact that Grey was seemingly recruiting these evil people, but she didn't hassle over it since there was no point in doing that.

They all left for the location Grey said the culprit would be and after some minutes of water, Klaus asked, "Where are they?"

"Don't be in a haste, they'll be here soon."

Just as Grey finished his statement, two figures appeared.

"What's the meaning of this?"
