Divine Emperor of Death

'This is... not good...' Ravalat Alstreim's expression fell.

He had brazenly shouted and almost revealed what he shouldn't have revealed in front of a crowd, especially in front of Alchemist Davis! His judgment had been momentarily clouded by these idiots who refused to heed his words for simply no other reason than to mock him.

Nonetheless, he didn't say anything and slowly inched back to his room but suddenly stopped halfway.

The private rooms were just accommodations. It was in the hall that was located on the top floor would they start to have their discussions, so until then, they were allowed to enjoy each other's presence as they partook in the feast prepared for the entirety of their visit today. In fact, they had even reserved the next day as the higher-ups felt that their discussion might extend!

However, when their whole discussion was about a single man residing in the Purple Guest Palace but was magically present here for some reason when they had painstakingly tried to be low-key in their movements, what was the use in having a discussion?

"Brother... Is that...?" Kayale Alstreim became flabbergasted as her mouth went slightly agape.

"Mhm..." Kayan Alstreim's gaze became frighteningly sharp as his black eyes flashed with a surge of fiery blue-flames, "That's Alchemist Davis..."

Though they had initially become surprised when looking at Alchemist Davis, Kayan Alstreim truly wanted to confirm if this person had stepped into the Mature Soul Stage at such an age and even wanted to have a battle!

His battle intent soared like a volcanic eruption as he had never battled a Sixth Stage Tri-Cultivator before!

However, he managed to stop himself as he knew that this wasn't the time.

These two, and almost the entire Burning Sea Brigade weren't present in the Grand Welcoming Hall or in the Grand Alstreim City, but in the seas that were in the northern direction, far behind the mountainous region in these past few months.

They had returned recently due to the disturbance of the Aqua Flood Dragon in the sea region. However, once they were here, they were told not to bother about their responsibilities or cultivation for some time but concentrate on another thing altogether.

They were told a few things and given an Imagery Stone that held Alchemist Davis and the Dragon Queen's image. However, they didn't know who Nadia was as they have never seen her image, but they have at least heard that a King-Tier Magical Beast belonging to the Dragon Queen was present in their Alstreim Family right now.

Other than the Brilliant Flame Corps members and a few others knowing about Nadia's human form, the others remained ignorant about her and just viewed her as another magical beast that was more or less equal to Alchemist Davis in strength.

Nadia's energy concealment state, which is her normal state, made them think that she was just Alchemist Davis's Magical Beast Mount, but an abnormally beautiful one, which made them nod in approval but still hold strange gaze as they weren't used to seeing a magical beast this attractive enough to move their hearts.

Meanwhile, Davis had already finished talking with the waiter and finally left towards a private room with Evelynn and Nadia.

While the elder had his back bending, Gyren Alstreim was kneeling on the floor, having a pale expression on his face. A while ago, his dependable brothers had informed him through soul transmission that the person he was against was Alchemist Davis!

He had practically pissed his pants at that time!

The whole reason they all were here was because of this person!

He didn't dare slight him anymore and instantly knelt on the floor, begging for forgiveness as he faked tears as his eyes became moist. However, Alchemist Davis didn't even bother to look at him and left with the waiter who seemed to have received a soul transmission from the elder of the Inn to take Alchemist Davis to Gyren's reserved private room.

Although he felt utterly humiliated, he didn't dare do anything that would warrant him to get killed without being able to speak a word. He admitted his wrongs as Alchemist Davis left, feeling like his life had been spared. However, feeling all energy leave his body, he remained slumped on the floor, still feeling disbelief that he had just encountered a life-threatening situation just now.

In the end, the youth who have surrounded the Inn made no move to stop Alchemist Davis as they let him pass. In truth, everyone who was in his way disappeared back into their room as they knew that they haven't prepared to engage yet!

Any contact at this point that ended in rejection would be met with severe punishment! They couldn't help but look at Gyren with sympathetic and gloating expressions on their faces.

======

Some younger generation experts still remained in their rooms, not bothering to come out because of the commotion. They understood that commotions were commonplace in an inn, and most didn't require their attention as it would soon be resolved anyhow.

In a certain corner of a particular room on the fourth floor, a woman sat alone with a complicated expression on her face, wondering why she was here when she had already given up on even making contact with that person.

'Earn Alchemist Davis's favor, and though shall be rewarded with a Low-Level Emperor Grade Treasure, and the organization you are part of shall also receive an additional Low-Level Emperor Grade Treasure...'

This was something that every Elder and Grand Elder had said to their younger generational experts!

She turned her head to look at the other beauties who weren't interested in watching the commotion, but strangely, they possessed determined expression on their faces.

An Emperor Grade Treasure for just receiving a favor!?

Who wasn't tempted!?

All they had to do was make Alchemist Davis ecstatic and earn his favor in some form, whether it be friendship or especially intimate ones. However, it was just the basics...

If a woman from the younger generation managed to go a step forward and become conceived with his child, it is said that the entire resources of the Alstreim Family would be used to protect and concentrated on her!

For all she knew, such a statement echoed by the upper-echelon of the Alstreim Family was unprecedented in at least the last 20,000 years!

Her grandfather had personally chided her not to slack and be aggressive in earning Alchemist Davis's favor and even said that their Ancestor wished for their union. She, who had initially given up, reluctantly came to this place!

She twirled her blonde hair and remained slumped, feeling complicated for the first time in her life. This feeling she was experiencing was completely foreign to her, and she didn't know how to explain, but she couldn't help but find herself looking forward to it.

"Is it time? When is gathering going to start officially?" A woman in seductive clothes and a lot of makeup that perfectly accentuated her beauty spoke up, all the while her glittering eyes were looking at the other women with contempt.

The women in the room remained silent. No one possessed an answer to that as it was decided by the leaders of the top two younger generation powers; the Burning Sea Brigade and the Brilliant Flame Corps.

"Sigh... Leader Kayan still hasn't said a word-"

Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open, and a person, a white-robed man to be exact, appeared in their view.
