Kapitel 372: [Bonus chapter] Earl Manor

'Hmm, I don't recall Alice saying anything about this. But he should be fine, as long as they don't find Alice in the compound,' Grey thought. 

He wasn't too concerned about Alice's father being summoned to the Capital. First of all, they didn't find Alice in the compound, and secondly, the Reiss family is a big family. 

They couldn't be dated back to when the empire started, but they rose to prominence around that time, after the empire was formed. The Emperor wouldn't want to eliminate them over mere assumptions. 

They were most probably searching for Grey's friends since they thought he might have shared the Great Earth Essence Liquid with them, there wasn't even any proof of that happening. 

He was more concerned about the Earl family. He didn't like others getting in trouble because of him. But there was nothing he could do to help them, it's not like he could fight against the Smith family alone, and he didn't want to ask Gerald for help.
