"There is really no need for that," Grey said, shaking his head as he sent his copy of the permit to Werner. "You should’ve asked me before getting the third one."

"This... did little girl Valeria give it to you?" Werner asked in a curious tone.

"Indeed," Grey nodded. "She might be annoying at times, but she has a good heart."

Werner nodded at this. He had met her before, and even though she was very hard to deal with, she was a kind kid at heart.

"Who else did you give the last two permits to?" Grey asked curiously.

There were many powerful evolvers in the Formation Association who were at the peak of the 1st Rank. It could be anyone.

"I naturally gave them to my disciples, Master. They’re the most talented people in all of Ashspire City," Werner said with a proud expression. "Although they won’t be able to match you. If I’m not wrong, yesterday’s disturbance was caused by you, right? You underwent Law Transformation!"

"I was lucky," Grey said with a smile as he drank another cup of wine.

The wine that this old man drank was extremely good, nothing like the one he got back in the Golden Chamber in Sector 1 of Nova City. And this wine was infinitely more expensive than that.

"Law Transformation at the age of seventeen and with a life-level at just the sixth level," Werner muttered, shaking his head.

He was already aware of what sort of monster Grey was. He believed that if Grey claimed to be the second-best 1st Ranker in all of Blue Star, no one would dare to call themselves first.

That was the level he was at right now.

Invincible in the same rank.

Just then, two women wearing qipaos entered the room. They both had the same appearance, long black hair, and the only difference between them was their eyes: one had green eyes, and the other had deep red eyes. They were also quite attractive.

They were Meiling and Meiying.

According to Old Man Werner, he had found them abandoned in the eastern region. He took them in, treating them as his own daughters, and once they were of age to become evolvers––seventeen–– they took on his mantle, striving to become powerful formation masters.

"We greet the Grandmaster," they said at the same time as soon as they saw Grey, bowing in respect. They then turned to Werner and bowed again. "We greet Master."

"Don’t call me Grandmaster," Grey said, his face immediately turning sour. "I’m still only seventeen."

"Hey, Ying, I think Grandmaster wants us to stop calling him Grandmaster," Meiling said.

"Yes, Ling, I think Grandmaster wants us to stop calling him Grandmaster," Meiying said with a serious nod.

"But he’s the Grandmaster. How can we call him Master?" Meiling said.

"That’s true, Ling. We should continue calling him Grandmaster," Meiying said with another serious nod on her round face.

"Forget it..." Grey muttered with a sour look on his face as he drank another cup of wine. "You guys never listen."

At the same time, he noticed something different about the two sisters.

"This... Aether Evolutionary Path?" Grey was surprised.

There was no mistake about it. These two had triggered his Creator Invocation, which could only mean one thing—they had changed their evolutionary path.

They were infinitely more powerful than before.

"I managed to get my hands on a 1-star Evolutionary Conversion Stone. They are easier to form than the 2-star or 3-star variants. As for 3-stars, there are said to be only four or five in existence, and they formed as a result of 4-star experts undergoing their fourth metamorphosis," Werner explained.

Grey nodded. "You both should stick close to me when we enter the secret realm."

"Yes!" Meiling and Meiying exclaimed together. "Please guide us, Grandmaster!"

"Hey, what is up with older people calling me Master?" Grey’s expression darkened.

The two twins were eighteen years old, a year older than him, and then there was his own disciple, who was potentially, what, more than a hundred years old? And he also called him Master.

It simply made him feel old.

He was still a budding youth enjoying his life.

He hadn’t even gone to college yet.

Speaking of college, he remembered that he would most likely be able to enter a respected institution after the incident in Nova City. But even so, he didn’t plan on enrolling. He had found a better way to gain a huge amount of resources, a secret Eterna had personally told him about. It was something only someone like him could achieve, and he planned to put it into motion once he became a 2nd Ranker.

By that time, he wouldn’t need to depend on anyone but himself.

"Alright, with that sorted out, did you get the parts I told you to prepare?" Grey asked as he poured himself another glass of wine. "And where is this wine from? I need more of it."

"To answer your first question, Master, I’ve already prepared everything and placed it on the underground floor of the association. I bought everything as you commanded," Werner said with a smile on his old face. "As for your second question, I’ll send a dozen bottles to your mansion as soon as possible, Master!"

"Alright," Grey said as he stood up. "Take me there."

Werner nodded, and with the twin sisters in tow, they left the main office.

As soon as they stepped outside, there were plenty of people in the hall, going about their activities, some were there to take examinations, others were staff members guiding participants.

"Who is that guy? He looks our age. The Formation Master and his disciples are walking behind him!"

"Is that guy just too arrogant or too stupid to do such a thing?"

Everyone who came for the examination was stunned. They could only watch in confusion and shock as Grey, along with his disciple and grand-disciples, respectfully followed behind him.

Some might never forget this sight.

But one question still remained.

Just who was this young man?

They would perhaps never know.
