Chapter 769 - Davis Promises (1/2)
”Thank you.” Davi also sent his thanks to Alex and even slightly bowed his head to show his sincerity. It was hard for a person of high status to bow their head, let alone the Family Head of Ancient Blue Family.
'Hmm… Is it really his feeling, or is it because of the letter? Never mind. At least I know that he won't attack me for the time being.' Alex thought and nodded his head. ”I was just doing my part.”
Davi nodded and looked at his children. ”How do you feel now?”
”We are fine, Father. I might be able to fight 4-Star Martial Saint if I push my limit, but if I manage to control this energy, I believe I can fight them on equal ground. The same applies to Rena since our talent isn't that much different.” Rio answered with a gentle smile before clasping his hand toward Alex again.
”That's great.” Davi patted their shoulders and hugged them for a few seconds before returning to Alex. ”I am sorry for this display… But it seems we have an unfinished business… May I ask you to leave this room first together with me so we can talk?”
Alex didn't answer him immediately. Instead, he took out a scroll from his Space Ring and threw it toward the Array Masters. ”This is the technique I used earlier. It is a bit hard, but since you have watched how I performed it, you should be able to understand this technique faster.”
Davi was slightly confused because there wasn't a single mention of Alex giving the technique in the letter. He only knew that Alex would teach them how to do it. Seeing this much favor from Alex, another idea appeared in his mind.
”Let's go.” Alex stretched his hand forward, asking him to lead the way.
Davi and Alex then left the room, wanting to have a serious talk outside.
Alex created his Sound Insulation Array and halted his step, taking out a few Array Plates from his Space Ring. ”These are the backup arrays. I think my part has finished after giving these to you.”
”Yes. However, I would like to extend my thanks to you after this.” Davi smiled. ”I feel like the condition of me being part of your play in this war is not equal to the one you gave us. Hence, I would like to add another condition from our side.
”I want to promise you that none of the elders, including me, will have their energy combined before you leave this world as a God Rank Expert.”
”Ho?!” Alex narrowed his eyes, never expecting Davi to give such a promise. ”I don't recall you are a person like this…”
”No, no. I have calculated everything. Looking at your strength and cultivation speed, I am confident that you will become a God Rank Expert within a decade. So, it's not that long for us. At the same time, we can experiment with the technique and master it to perfection by testing it with lower level disciples.
”This fusion can elevate our status even higher since we will be able to utilize our latent talent. And I know you are still wary against us, especially since we are a threat to your plan. That's why no elders will undergo something like this for the time being. It's our commitment.
”And… This is my internal problem, but I guess it's necessary to tell you. We are trying to move against the people who want to ruin our family with their corruption. Hence, we want to take care of our internal problem first before looking upon the broader world.
”I think ten years will be the perfect time for my Ancient Blue Family. And if you need any help from my family… As long as it doesn't require a huge number of human resources, we will gladly help you.” Davi paused for a moment before revealing his biggest factor.
”As you might already know, I am a person who is looking at benefits before everything else. And I simply see siding with your side for the time being won't bring my family a disaster. I also know the fact that you won't attack a neutral influence without apparent reason… In other words, I simply take away that reason from you.”
Alex looked up and sighed. ”Fair enough. But since you are this sincere, you don't mind if I say my request now, right?”
”Certainly.”
”You know I have a disciple and some friends, right?”
”I promise you as the former family head. I will also have Rio to swear a Heavenly Oath for that. We won't attack your friends and disciple.”
Alex looked at him for a few seconds before nodding. ”Alright. Since that is the case, I won't be your enemy. But you need to remember, my network is vast, so you better watch out your movement.”
”Of course.” Davi ignored this threat because he would have no time to deal with this threat due to the complexity of his matter.
”Now that I think about it, you can even use the whole act as a part of the alliance to recognize the betrayer in your family. Two years should be enough for the Array Masters to get a good grasp of the array, if not mastering it.” Alex gave a piece of advice.
”!!!” Davi gasped, never expecting Alex could think something like that in a brief moment. ”That's right. Those who are trying to usurp and not happy with the family tradition will surely show their true color if we retreat without any apparent reason.
”And I can pacify the family with the news after finishing these traitors…” Davi took a deep breath and blinked his eyes a few times. He admitted defeat to Alex. ”Now I can see why you are classified as a disaster that will destroy our family if we make a wrong choice… I understand. I will act my part, and thank you very much.”
Alex waved his hand, telling him that he didn't do much. He entered the room and asked Jeanne. ”We are going back to the courtyard.”
Davi heard this and improvised. ”Five elders, I will leave Rio and Rena to you. I will guide our esteemed guests to their courtyard, so they can have a good rest.”
