Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 746 - Run Riot

"You two were amazing." Kyle said when Reynolds and Alice came back to their seats.

"I'm exhausted." Reynolds said with a tired expression.

"Me too. Thanks, we did our best not to let Klaus down." Alice replied before taking a seat.

"Nice job, you will be rewarded well." Klaus said.

Reynolds and Alice rolled their eyes at him when they heard his words. Kyle on the other hand thought Klaus promised to reward the duo if they performed well. Although he knew they wouldn't do it, it still felt kind of odd.

Grey on the other hand knew Klaus was just bullshiting like he usually does. Only those who don't know him will believe whatever he says.

With the end of the Mid stages Overlord Plane rankings, it was time for the Late stages Overlord Plane rankings. Grey and Klaus would be taking part in it.

"It's finally time for you to show your strength, you better not let us down." Reynolds said with a mysterious smile.

"Of course not. You should be saying that to Grey, not me." Klaus snorted coldly.

The duo looked at Grey, and for the first time in a while, Grey flexed his strength with his words.

"How could you doubt me? I've always delivered." Grey's flex was low-key cool.

Klaus and the others were surprised when they heard Grey say this. Grey wasn't the type who usually does things like this. He only occasionally finds trouble with Klaus while also playing with the group, flexing around when there were people was not something he usually does.

Some of those who were seated at the same table as Grey the previous night when he battled against the young ladies felt he was bragging once again. He was powerful, they weren't denying that, but the fact that he was this proud made them dislike him. Adding the fact that he rarely spoke with people made it worse.

"Show off." Klaus snickered.

Grey shrugged as if saying, 'It's not my fault I'm this awesome'.

Reynolds and Alice burst out laughing. Kyle had seen Grey in a playful state once in a while, so he didn't find this strange. Other than Grey showing off for the first time, he was used to seeing him occasionally joking around.

The day came to an end, and with it, the excitement for the start of the Late stage rankings shot up. This round would be more thrilling than the previous round.

Not just that, but since Reynolds and Alice managed to snatch the first and second place, the audience was curious about what position their friends in the Late stages would take.

Not just the crowd, but the Elders, as well as the geniuses from the top Factions, were also curious as well.

Everyone couldn't wait for the next day to arrive. The night went by very slowly for those waiting for the day to break.

But in the end, the sun rose and everyone left whatever they wanted to do and rushed to the arena. The rumors of Reynolds and Alice's spectacular battle had spread across the entire city that even without introduction, the duo were known all around.

For some reason, Klaus was even more famous than them. What was surprising was that he hadn't fought any battles, yet, he was famous. This is attributed to his great socializing skill.

When the group arrived at the arena, they attracted a lot of attention.

An hour after getting to the arena, all the participants were asked to step forward. Seeing both Grey and Klaus stand up, the crowd was hyped. Reynolds and Alice had already set the bar, now the crowd wanted to see if Grey and Klaus would be able to meet it or even better, exceed it.

"What did you do?" Grey couldn't help but ask Klaus.

"Nothing, I only paid some people to spread the news of their victory." Klaus said with a smile.

"Well, now we've become their target." Grey said as he looked around.

"Are you worried?" Klaus asked with a surprised expression.

"Why would I be?" Grey replied with a question.

In a group fight like these brawls, Grey feared nothing. He had been in so many brawls to count. If these people went to the Continent he first came to when he came to the Aurora Continent, then they would know that he was not a person who was scared of crowds.

"Hehe, better. We're entering the next round with a high profile." Klaus chuckled.

"We came here very high profile, I don't know what would be more high profile than being looked at by everyone, even your opponents as well." Grey said.

The duo were still speaking when a middle-aged woman flew down from the special area to announce the rules of the battles. The lady was from the Moonlight Faction, the Faction Klaus wanted to join at all costs.

The lady gave the rules and it wasn't different from the rules of the Mid stages. The first round would be a brawl with fifty participants on a single platform.

The Mid stages rankings had the highest number of people. Participants in the Late stages were a few numbers below them.

The participants would be arranged with their registration numbers. Klaus and Grey had numbers that were separated by just one figure. Reynolds was the person with the number in the middle. When they were registering, Alice was the first, followed by Klaus, Reynolds, and lastly Grey.

With the closeness of their numbers, they would be placed on the same platform just like the case of Reynolds and Alice.

And when the numbers were called out, they were placed on the same platform as the duo expected.

The lady from the Moonlight Faction glanced at Grey and Klaus before heading back to the special seating area.

"It's time to show them what I'm capable of." Klaus clenched his fists, ready to fight.

"What is the plan?" Grey asked.

"Run riot." Klaus said slowly.

"Gladly." Grey replied with a cool and collected expression.

When the duo stepped on the platform they would be participating on, they garnered all the attention there, with everyone staring at them.
