Chapter 821 Accused
Outside the trial ground.
People were walking out through the gate with a proud smile, except for a selected few, Grey included. He didn't see the test as anything of a challenge in the first place, so he naturally didn't have to celebrate it.
When they stepped out, they saw some people gathered, all with gloomy faces. Looking at the crowd, Grey saw a familiar face. It was the young lady he eliminated the previous night.
'Oh, they're still here. Amusing.' He thought to himself.
He didn't even bother to look in their direction for a second time as he followed the group, heading in the direction of where those who successfully passed the trial were.
When the young lady noticed the people coming out, she was staring intently at the crowd, seemingly searching for someone. She first saw Keith's figure, before her eyes trailed to the person standing close to him.
"You!" She pointed at Grey angrily and tried to rush after him.
Grey, just like everyone turned to look in the direction the voice came from in curiosity.
The young lady's voice drew the attention of everyone.
"You sneaky bastard! I can't accept the fact that a backstabber like you can get into this honorable Faction and I can't." The young lady said through gritted teeth.
Grey looked behind him, trying to see who the young lady was talking to.
'She can't be about me, right?' He couldn't help but ask Void.
'It seems like it. What did you do to her?' Void asked.
Grey had the urge of picking Void and kicking him into oblivion when he heard this question. Void was with him when he fought against the young lady, how could he ask what he did to her. He decided to let the matter go and not bother about it, he had already gotten into the Faction anyway.
"Grey, I think she's talking to you." Keith moved closer to Grey and whispered.
"When she's done making a fool of herself, she'll keep quiet." Grey replied nonchalantly.
The young lady continued yelling, and the Elder who addressed them at the start took notice of it.
He approached her, "Young lady, what seems to be the problem?"
"There's a sneaky backstabber among your ranks. I have no problem with people passing the trial and me failing it, but my conscience can not let me allow someone like that to join your prestigious Faction and sully its name." The young lady said with hatred.
The Elder looked at her and asked, "Oh, what happened?"
If what the young lady was saying was true, then he wanted to weed out such a figure. Although the person had successfully passed the trial, people like this might bring destruction to the Faction in the future.
"We were fighting against a powerful Peak Rank Five, and when I was on the verge of defeating it, he attacked us from nowhere, forcing us to use our talismans." The young lady pointed at the others from her group.
They nodded to her words.
Grey didn't have any visible change in his expression when he heard this, Keith however was irritated as he heard her speak.
A glint flashed through the eyes of the Elder.

'They were the ones who took down all the Peak Rank Five beasts.' He thought in realization.
He originally felt a group would be the ones who could take out the beasts in such a short time.
"Can you bring out the individual who did this?" He asked.
The young lady nodded and pointed at Grey, who was looking at them with a bland look, making it difficult for them to know what he was thinking.
Keith gritted his teeth and retorted, "Lying bitch! You wanted to take something you didn't work for, you deserved getting eliminated."
"Sir, he was also involved as well." The young lady pointed at Keith.
Everyone in the crowd looked at Grey and Keith. Among the crowd of those who passed the trail, the trio who were chasing after Keith was watching what was happening with interest.
"You two, come forward." The Elder called Grey and Keith over.
Grey walked forward, Keith was behind him as well.
"Is what they're saying true?" The Elder asked.
"No, they're lying." Keith was the one who replied.
The Elder looked at Grey with a serious expression, "I want your answer."
Grey was the one the young lady accused at first, so he wanted to hear Grey's reply.
"No." Grey replied with a calm expression.
"Shut up you deceiver." The young lady said coldly.
The Elder looked at the duo, a little unsure of who to believe. Grey didn't even try to defend himself, only giving a single reply. The young lady gave a good explanation, and when he thought of what happened with the top beasts, he felt the young lady was correct.
"Stop disturbing, you're making a fool of yourself." Grey said with a blank expression.
The young lady looked at Grey and felt annoyed, but she wanted to ensure that Grey didn't get into the Faction.
"Why don't you tell me your side of the story?" The Elder thought for a while before looking at Grey.
Being a big Faction, he naturally wouldn't make a decision based on a one-sided story. As long as Grey could give him a good explanation, he naturally would know what to do.
"What do you believe?" Grey asked the Elder.
"I've heard her side, so I can't make a decision for now without hearing yours." The Elder replied.
He didn't feel annoyed because of Grey's question.
"I don't need to ambush someone like them. I can defeat them alone, why would I bother to ambush them?" Grey's words stunned the Elder, as well as everyone present there.
He was still in the Eighth stage of the Overlord Plane, yet he said with such confidence that he could defeat ten people. Of the ten people, there were four people in the Ninth stage of the Overlord Plane, and others in the Eighth and Seventh stage.
"You, defeat us?" The young lady laughed in mockery.
If Grey thought he could defeat all ten of them, then there must be something wrong in his head.
