Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 910 Why Don“t You Try?

Ancestor Dian Alstreim chuckled at Davisʼs reaction, ”For now, Iʼll fabricate your birth origin, hide the truth from the Alstreim Family and bestow you the Young Mas-”

”It seems as if you misunderstand something.” Davis suddenly interrupted.

”What?”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim became slightly taken aback.

”Have you forgotten why we have come here for? With the things you know about us, you should be easily able to guess.” Davis spread his arms wide.

”Besides, have you forgotten about the mysterious Conferred Queen Isabella? Even I donʼt know about her background!”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim further furrowed his brows.

What if she is truly someone from the large Territories who have come to adventure?

This thought echoed in Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs head before his mind snapped.

”So what if she is from the large Territories? She wouldnʼt interfere in internal matters by the way she did things, and even if she did, she has no valid protectors with her other than that magical beast, Nadia, the King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf, which is somewhat dangerous in a sense but not really a threat.”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim flicked his sleeves.

”If the Conferred Queen dares to interfere, then I would have no choice but to show her the way to the exit personally.”

Davis shook his head, ”I have already subordinated myself to her. I belong to her mysterious power right now. Donʼt you think youʼre offending her by snatching me away?”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes. He stayed silent for a few seconds. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he blinked before his pursed lips finally moved.

”What do you propose?”

Davis inwardly smiled, but he kept his cool outwardly, ”The only way I can offend the Young Mistress and leave her side is if I am given compensation that convinces me to leave.”

”Compensation? What kind of compensation?”

”Simple, I want to bring out the culprits who had harmed my mother and my motherʼs father, and have them die for their crimes. Young Mistress Isabella already knows a bit that my family and I possess a vendetta against some people in the Alstreim Family, and she has promised me that she would not let me come to harm in order to recruit me for my abnormal talent.”

”Therefore, if you can promise me to help me get justice for my mother, I can back out of Young Mistress Isabellaʼs proposal.”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim didnʼt possess a surprised expression on his face. It could be seen that he had expected something like this, except he didnʼt know that what came out from Davisʼs mouth was nothing but pure bullshit.

He didnʼt know that the Conferred Queen was from the Forsaken Phoenix Realm as well. After all, the records didnʼt state anything about the Forsaken Phoenix Realm possessing two Immortal Inheritances, much less anything about a Dragon!

”And? Have you found who are all responsible?”

Davis didnʼt hesitate to reply, ”Excluding the pawns, thereʼs about two Grand Elders, ten Elders, the Young Master, and the Young Mistress.”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim visibly heaved a sigh.

”Whereʼs the evidence that they harmed your mother and maternal grandfather?”

”...”

Davis almost became speechless.

Heck, when did this place become the modern world?

Did people need evidence to punish other people? Why didnʼt he know about it?

But, this made him aware that the civil laws governing the Alstreim Family were still somewhat intact.

”Really?” Davis cast a mocking look, ”Even though you could easily find out the crimes they have done through employing various methods.”

”You do not understand. I cannot allow them to die.” Ancestor Dian Alstreim shook his head.

He stated the foremost reason before continuing to explain.

”Some of the people you have listed have a varying degree of potential to enter the Ninth Stage, and it is not easy for me to punish them without a valid reason. Although I want to punish them for their crimes, I too lack the evidence.”

”Nevertheless, I am the Ancestor and can be overbearing as I want, easily killing them. However, just because I want to recruit you doesnʼt mean that I will sacrifice them. If I did, what does that make me?”

”The same as them?”

*Clap!~*

*Clap!~*

Davisʼs eyes lit up as he felt respect, but he mockingly smiled as he clapped, ”How righteous!”

”But instead of spouting all the words that only feels good to hear, shouldnʼt you had interfered and stopped them when they were plotting against my mother and her father if youʼre going to say all this?”

”Sigh, I cannot be present at all times. You do not know the entirety of external threats the Alstreim Family faces on the level of the Ninth Stage. I have to keep myself ready at all times strictly and canʼt afford to get distracted by internal matters.”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim wryly chuckled, ”Despite being the Ancestor, the burden I face from external threats isnʼt any less than your mother and grandfatherʼs burdens, and instead can be said to be tremendous.”

”Your mother and grandfather couldʼve lowered their heads and asked for help, they mightʼve gotten some help from others like Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, but they didnʼt let go of their pride. On the other hand, even if I lowered my head, who on this Fifty-Two Territories would help me in protecting the Alstreim Family?”

Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs words became heavy, ”No one, absolutely no one.”

”Heh! Why donʼt you try lowering your head to me then?” Davis sneered.

However, his eyes abruptly narrowed as he saw Ancestor Dian Alstreim lower his head and bend his waist.

The Ancestor of the Alstreim Family actually bowed to him!!!

What kind of ludicrous situation was this!?

”You... Have you lost your mind?” Davis became taken aback that he couldnʼt help but subconsciously blurt out.

How could a Ninth Stage Powerhouse bow to him like this!? It was absolutely humiliating and disgraceful. Even he felt confused and second-hand embarrassment to be on the receiving side.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim straightened his back and looked at him.

”People make mistakes, and thatʼs common. Perhaps my seclusion itself is a mistake, but as I said before, it was the older generation who are in the wrong for not directing the younger generation towards the right path. I cannot let myself stumble over the path I have set for myself.”

”I cannot let you err and get blinded by revenge for our wrongs.” He flicked his sleeves.

”Ever since I came out of seclusion, I strictly forbade inner struggles. So if any of them dared to make a move against the others, I would make a move against them. Fearing and respecting my presence, the Alstreim Family has regained its peace right now, and if youʼre going to threaten it, I will not allow it.”

”That means?” Davis furrowed his brows as he felt complicated.

”You cannot harm the younger generation, but I donʼt mind you challenging the older generation to a life and death battle above the No Same Sky Martial Platform.”

”You think I donʼt have the ability to kill them?” Davis grinned in an audacious manner.

”Perhaps you do, but know that you would vilify the others who are related to them, ensuing chaos.”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head.

”Know that once you win in a life and death battle after the challenge had been accepted, you would lose the qualifications to refuse life and death battles. However, the loserʼs relations all become eligible to challenge you to a life and death battle, and that too without a break.”

”Thereʼs such a rule?” Davis felt a bit skeptical.

Wouldnʼt the winner easily be massacred by people who want to take revenge for the loserʼs death?
