Affinity:Chaos

Grey led the group, with Void directing him on where to go. The treasure was getting closer and closer, and Void could sense it.

The others followed behind Grey. Elaris was still annoyed that Grey sent the Bull in their direction.

As they went deeper into the place, they soon got to a door. Grey saw the same signs on them, but this time, they didn't need to do anything. All Grey did was push it, and it opened for them to step in.

The door led to a large room. Multiple tables were standing in direction locations in the room, and items were on each table.

Grey was dumbstruck at the sheer number of top-tier treasures he was seeing. Not just Grey, even Elaris, who was from a top Faction, was also left speechless by what she saw.

Void appeared once again, his eyes lighting up as he saw the things laid there on the table.

Before anyone could move, he was the first to make a move. He went for a golden ring lying on the floor close to one of the tables.

Grey's head almost exploded when he saw this. There was no way Void would take a useless ring when there were countless treasures here. He immediately went after him.

The others didn't mind Void going after the ring. After all, it was on the ground. If not for Void rushing there, they wouldn't notice it.

The others all went for different treasures. There were quite a lot of treasures there that attracted their attention, and they couldn't wait to take it. With Grey and Void going after the ring they deemed useless, there were fewer contenders for the treasures they picked.

Over twenty tables were in the room, and all twenty of them had a top treasure on top of them, from elemental weapons to rare Magical Beasts' cores and rare flowers.

All kinds of treasures lay on the tables, and they were all up for grabs.

Grey caught up to Void and stretched to pick up the ring. Void was faster, and with his smaller build, he maneuvered right through Grey's fingers and took the ring from his grasp.

"Fuck! Void, give it back." Grey said, a little annoyed.

Void naturally didn't pay any heed to his words. He opened his tiny mouth and swallowed the ring with a satisfied smile on his face.

Veins appeared on the side of Grey's head. He knew since Void had already kept it, it was almost impossible to take it from him. What was worse was that he didn't know what was inside the ring, so even if Void decides to trick him later, there was no way he would be able to know if it was a trick.

"Greedy little cat." He said through gritted teeth before moving to another treasure. There was no need to bother about the ring and its contents, he knew there was no hope.

Void laughed in satisfaction. He, too, went after another treasure.

The others had already taken their first choice of treasures and were going after the next ones. Seeing Grey and Void going at the treasures, they were flabbergasted. In a second, each of them had cleaned five tables. One has to know that some of these items weren't easy to take from these tables, but Void was directly going past while Grey acted like he wasn't being repelled.

It was a shocking yet annoying sight to behold. Unlike Grey and Void, they needed some time to break through some of the table's defenses.

Grey stopped after they ransacked ten tables, but Void didn't have any plans of stopping. He moved quickly, rushing for the next table.

Grey acted quickly, stopping Void from taking anything more.

'Enough, do you want them to hate us?'

'It's not like they like you in the first place. What's the point of letting them have any? We all know that the treasures are taken by those who can acquire them. They might get upset, but there's nothing they can do. Do they want to blame you for their uselessness?'

Grey paused when he heard Void's words. To be honest, Void's words were logical. It was common knowledge that treasures were taken by the capable. If one can't even move as fast as the other, then they would lose out.

He still stopped Void from taking anything else. Of course, he didn't care about what Elaris and the others thought of him, but it wouldn't be nice if he took everything and left nothing for them.

Void grunted but disappeared when he saw that Grey wasn't giving him an inch. He already had enough, so there was no use arguing over if he should get more or not.

Grey was satisfied when he saw this.

Elaris and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Grey stop Void from taking anything else. Seeing that Void was just as fast as Grey, if not even faster, they knew the chances of them catching him was almost zero.

The other four didn't waste too much time and started to go through the other things. In no time all the tables were cleaned and every single treasure was taken out.

"Alright, we better get going."

Since they've collected everything, Grey saw no point in them staying there.

Elaris and the others had the same thought as well. As they headed toward the door, Grey felt a cold chill down his spine and hurriedly retreated, dragging Sylvia's brother with him.

Boom!

A small explosion happened on the spot he was previously standing.

Elaris and the other two were a tad slower, but they managed to escape from the impact of the explosion.

They couldn't help but take a look at Grey once again. His reaction speed and sensitivity to danger was way higher than theirs, Elaris included which was a little shocking.

Grey squinted his eyes and looked at the cause of the explosion, his eyes widened when he was greeted by pearly white bones. It was the bones from a palm.
