Chapter 1072: Gifts (1/2)
”Yes.” Weiss Alstreim's lips slightly widened, ”If Alchemist Davis feels that my sincerity is lacking, shall we put it to the test?”
”Why not?” Davis became amused, ”I'm rather curious to see what the Young Master of the Alstreim Family brought me to 'congratulate'.”
Weiss Alstreim smiled with suspense. He took to the air and crossed over the heads of a multitude of youths as if stomping on them. Their faces went red in anger, but none of them even said a word about it.
Weiss Alstreim gave a short glance of disdain before finally arriving in front of Alchemist Davis.
”Wait!”
A voice resounded out, causing Weiss Alstreim to stop in his tracks. He turned his head, and smilingly spoke, ”Is there anything you want from me?”
Ravalat Alstreim narrowed his eyes as he stood up, ”I don't want anything from you, but since I was the first person to arrive, then I shall be the first person to gift Alchemist Davis unless stated otherwise!”
”That's right!” Kayan Alstreim stood up as he nodded his head, ”I agree since I'm second in line while my little sister is third.”
”Oh?” Weiss Alstreim chuckled, ”It's rare to see you two agree on something...”
Both of their expressions minutely fell.
”Could it be that you two are actually afraid of my... sincerity?” Weiss Alstreim cocked his head. His smile seemed to be smeared with a mocking light that provoked Ravalat Alstreim and Weiss Alstreim.
”Hmph! It's not enough just being sincere! Let's see whose gift manages to catch Alchemist Davis's eyes...” Kayan Alstreim spoke in a cold voice.
”Fine with me, but your friend there doesn't seem to be interested?”
”He is not my friend...” Ravalat Alstreim's expression was cold. He harrumphed like Kayan Alstreim before looking at the esteemed person.
”Alchemist Davis, shall I?”
”Go ahead...” Davis imperceptibly shrugged.
He was rather disappointed that he was unable to feast his eyes over a sudden battle taking place. Nevertheless, he didn't think of sending them out without deceiving them out of the offerings first.
Perhaps, they knew that he was the one who probably set them up to this, but none of them said otherwise because they knew that they couldn't afford to lose the opportunity to earn his favor.
After all, benefits topped their priority list!
Not to mention, it could be said that these younger generation members probably went through another round of brainwashing conducted by their family elders!
Otherwise, Davis saw no reason for them to be silent in front of him without a fight. Their mindset was similar to hotheaded youths; quite susceptible to provocation, and remaining level headed was something they could keep up with experience as long as someone doesn't provoke them.
But he did indeed provoke them with his schemes.
Nevertheless, only the top should've found out about this, but instead of making their findings explode, they should've suppressed the news. Otherwise, the faces of these people should be quite reluctant and jealous instead of looking at him with a reverent and admiring gaze.
'Mhm... Is my blonde hair an additional perk in gaining their affection...?' Davis mused with humor as he looked at Ravalat Alstreim stop in front of him. After all, the Alstreim Family seemed to take their blonde hair as their pride and joy.
Ravalat Alstreim waved his hand, and a jade case appeared in his hand. After opening a few straps, he pulled it open and showcased the object towards Alchemist Davis with a beaming smile on his face.
It was a white-colored object, and it looked like grass, but its edge was fang-shaped, giving it a sharp edge that made it seem as though it could cut through anything.
Davis's eyes lit up as he was expecting this ingredient to fall in his hands.
”This... Isn't this the Cloud Fang Grass? A Peak-Level King Grade Ingredient?”
Looking at Alchemist Davis feign astonishment, Ravalat Alstreim explained as he kept his smile, ”Yes, Alchemist Davis is wise.”
