All eyes were on Grey, while Grey had the same expression on his face from when he first arrived, he didn't say a word and looked at Ezekiel calmly before politely declining the request.
"No."
Grey's reply was short, yet it shocked everyone in the arena. They didn't expect someone from the outside world to reject the request to spar by Xaden.
Xanden, who was standing on the platform, was taken aback when he heard this. A mocking smile appeared on his face as he tried to edge Grey into agreeing to spar with him.
"As expected from people of the outside world, gutless." Xaden laughed as he looked in the direction of Grey and the rest of the youths from the Pyrmond Faction.
Keith and the others felt their blood boil when they heard Xaden's words, and they turned to look at Grey, hoping that he would go and beat the crap out of Xaden. To their surprise, Grey had the same expression as before, it was as if he didn't hear Xaden's words.
