Chapter 1050: ...Youll Slip One Way Or Another (2/2)

She could do nothing about it since the others were Alstreims.

Fortunately, today was a day that most of the seniors weren't present for a particular reason, and now, she skipped past High-Level Spirit Stones and went straight to earning a Peak-Level Spirit Stone!

Two percent of the total transaction value would belong to her, and that meant she truly earned a Peak-Level Spirit Stone, which is 1,000,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones in terms of energy and more than dozens of times the value!

She became rich overnight!!!

For once, Xiao Melli was glad that she was bullied out of the monthly meeting like always! Otherwise, she wouldn't even have had the chance to meet Alchemist Davis!

She couldn't help but cast a secretive glance at him. Daring enough to treat Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim like he was nothing in front of him and dreamy enough to make her feel strange. Her heart stirred as she thought how Alchemist Davis never treated her with despise or discriminatory eyes. Instead, she recalled that she was even able to nearly admonish him in the matter of conversion.

It made her look at him with a strange yet tender gaze.

However, she instantly shook the thought away from her head. She knew that she just wasn't worthy of such a grand character.

Davis turned around and left. However, he stopped before opening his mouth.

”That's right... I always wanted to ask, but how long does your relationship with Zeno Alstreim go back.”

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim became confused and frowned, ”Why are you asking such a thing?”

”Oh, what? I had the opportunity to meet him and exchange a few words at the Alchemy Exchange. I felt that he is an extremely 'upright' man that I couldn't help but 'admire'.”

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's expression broke out into a smile, ”Zeno Alstreim is my loyal subordinate. The relationship we have goes back to the time when I became the Young Master of the Alstreim Family during my youth that was thousands of years ago. He's been behind me, watching my back, slaying all my enemies from that time.”

”He's a person I think that I could never replace in this lifetime.”

”I see. I've learned one of the ways in how to become a 'loyal' subordinate to my Young Mistress.” Davis's voice became a bit strained.

”Is that so?” Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim became perplexed.

Didn't the rumors state that Alchemist Davis was instead trying to obtain the Dragon Queen?

”It's just... I wonder what would happen if the loyal subordinate develops greedy feelings one day and decided to...” Davis turned his head to look at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, ”... betray?”

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's breathing stopped for a moment.

”That's right... I almost forgot. Here...” Davis lobbed an item behind.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's hand automatically moved to capture the pill. When he managed to identify it a second later, he was given a start!

”Is... Is this the Enlightenment Martial Surge Pill!? The pill that is capable of granting a success rate of more than seventy percent to enter the Martial Master Stage!?”

”Yes.”

”But w-”

”Then I'll take my leave. Let us meet again, and perhaps, it'll be sooner than we both expect.”

Davis didn't say anything else and left along with Evelynn and Nadia, leaving Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim a bit stumped as to what had happened just now.
