Chapter 52
"Grey Dawn?"
"Yes! Who's asking?" Grey responded, his voice casual, a hint of boredom in his tone.
"We are here on behalf of the town lord. You have been summoned urgently. Failure to comply will bring severe consequences."
"Is that a threat?" Grey raised an eyebrow, a slight smirk curling at the corners of his lips. As he spoke, fire began to dance and swirl around his hand, its heat crackling in the air.
"No! It is simply a request from the town lord. He needs to see you urgently," one of the men replied quickly, his tone now more respectful.
"Need to see me? For what?" Grey's gaze sharpened, his curiosity piqued but his voice still dripping with nonchalance.
"We don't know. We're just following orders. Do you think the lord would tell us the details?" Another man snapped, his tone laced with barely contained aggression.
