Grey spent some hours with Conor before getting to the Dawson Family. There's nothing else they could get from the people outside the Family. They've learnt everything there was to learn outside.
When they got to the Family manor, his father still wasn't around. He had to wait for his return once again.
It took a few hours until Lucas finally arrived. When he saw Grey, his expression changed. He knew that Grey had gotten to the Pseudo-sovereign stage with a single glance. He didn't expect it, but he was able to sense it almost instantaneously.
"When did you get to this stage?" Lucas raised a brow, slightly confused Grey was stuck in the Pseudo-sovereign stage. He didn't expect someone of Grey's caliber to fail to break through.
To most people, the Pseudo-sovereign stage was a sign of failure of one's attempt to get to the Sovereign Plane. Seeing Grey in that stage didn't look good.
