Affinity:Chaos

The group of horned men left after thirty more minutes. 

Grey and Void had to wait an extra thirty minutes just to be sure they were gone. Luckily, they decided to wait. The horned men came back fifteen minutes after they left to check out the place once again. 

"We'll have to be quick." Grey suggested. 

Void nodded and vanished from where they were. Grey didn't come out since it would be better if Void was alone. He was prepared in case Void is able to open the portal so he could move at a moment's notice. 

When Void appeared at the spot where the portal was previously located, he unleashed his domain so he could get the best control over the space in that area. He tried to sense the link that was created there when the previous portal was created. 

After over two minutes, he couldn't help but open his eyes, a little disappointed. The time they took before coming was too much. Had he been able to come here around thirty minutes or even one hour after the portal was destroyed, he would've been able to sense it easily. But now, the link was shattered. Unless he was in the Sage Plane, or above, he wouldn't be able to connect it again. 

"We can't use this place any longer." Void reported after going back. 

"Hmm, okay. I guess it's time to interrogate the brothers." Grey said with a cold smile. 

Void quickly brought out his mace with an excited expression. 

"We're interrogating them, we have no plans of killing them." Grey couldn't help but remind Void when he saw his expression. 

Void nodded vigorously as he waited for Grey to take out the brothers.

Grey first brought out the horned man he had in his possession before entering this realm. 

"My brothers have finally…" The horned man paused and looked around a little confused that he couldn't find anyone. 

He thought after giving his brothers a hint of where Grey was going, the next time he would be taken out would be after Grey was defeated by them. 

"Oh, they're here too. You can talk as much as you want later in the future." Grey brought out the duo who were still unconscious. 

The eyes of the horned man nearly bulged out of his head. He never expected his brothers would also be defeated by Grey. This was a shocking discovery. 

Grey smiled when he saw this and didn't try to wake the other two horned men, rather, he waited for the horned man to sink this in. 

"What do you want?" The horned man asked. 

"Where is the portal you used in entering my world?" Grey asked. 

"I don't…"

A small ice needle appeared in the air and started to pierce into the body of the black-horned man. The horned man who was conscious felt a pain in his chest as he saw what Grey was doing to his brother and paused.

"Why are you so evil?" He couldn't help but ask. 

"Are you going to answer my question, or do you want him to lose an arm?" Grey created a fire blade that hung above the right arm of the black-horned man. 

The horned man looked at his brother and could only shake his head with a sigh. What was the use of even going against Grey in the first place? 

He told Grey what he knew, and before he could follow up with any request, Void appeared behind him and hit him with the mace. This was the part he hated the most about being captured by Grey. Void's brutality knows no bounds. 

"Should we confirm from the other one?" Grey asked Void. 

"There's no harm in trying." Void raised his shoulder to indicate it wasn't a bad idea. 

Grey woke up the blue-horned man and questioned him as well. Just like the first horned man, he refused to speak, but after Grey threatened to cut off the head of the black-horned man, he told them what they needed to hear. 

His words were almost identical to that of his brother Grey questioned first, but a few details were missing from his words, and also some that the first horned man didn't add. 

Grey compared both words and mainly picked out the words that were identical, which was the security there was very tight. The horned race protected the portal since it was very important to them. They didn't have the thought of destroying it because it gave them hope of being able to break the shackles of their realm. 

The place the portal was located is a few thousand kilometers away from the Capital. Most of the experts in the horned race stayed around the place where they felt was the center between the Capital and where the portal was located so they would be able to rush to either place in case of any issues. 

Grey and Void could only head back to the Capital. They guessed that maybe the group was quickly found and they had to rush out of the place, or if there was a chance that they were still there since they still haven't carried out the raid they said they wanted to do. 

When they got back to the capital, Grey sent Void out once again for any information while also moving around the outskirts of the capital. 

He saw a familiar figure after walking for almost thirty minutes, it was from the group of geniuses he met in the town he first noticed the activities of the horned race. 

Without delay, he followed the person and was stunned when he found the group staying at a hidden cave just outside the capital. 

He finally went inside the cave after confirming that it was safe, and that it was not a trap set by the horned race. 

"How did you find this place?" A young man questioned Grey the moment he entered the place. 

Looking around, there were over twenty people present, all in the Overlord Plane, and young as well.
