Chapter 1084: Sending Them Out... (2/2)

Everyone was laughing and jeering at the person who was on his way here.

'What ugliness... They're coping up with their inferiority through bullying other people...' Davis had the urge to facepalm.

However, it was clear to him what kind of environment they grew up in because only through pushing others down could they show their true worth.

On the other hand, he saw that some people's expression didn't change much. People like Kayan Alstreim, Kayale Alstreim, Ravalat Alstreim, and Weiss Alstreim appeared as if they were ignoring the young man.

Perhaps, they didn't even want to acknowledge his presence?

Meanwhile, Sophie Alstreim possessed a curious expression while Claudius Alstreim was completely lost. He came from the countryside, so he was unaware of who this youth was or why he was looked down upon since almost everyone seem to be despising him.

The young man finally arrived in front of the crowd, his expression bearing not much of a change other than indifference and confidence towards the jeering that fell in his ears. However, when he looked at Alchemist Davis, a smile inadvertently appeared on his lips.

”Edgar Alstreim greets Esteemed Alchemist Davis!” He clasped his hands and gave a deep bow.

Davis stared at Edgar Alstreim, who maintained that deep and respectful bow for three whole seconds! He knew that was the gratitude the other party was showing to him for healing his dantian, the lower dantian to be exact.

The youths who saw this had their lips faintly curved into a mocking smile on their face. To maintain this pose of humility for three seconds could only be given to masters, parents, and heaven and earth.

'As expected of a cripple...'

They were rather feeling embarrassed for him, inwardly cursing why he would stain the name of the Alstreim Family with this long three-second bow.

”Have you also come to congratulate me like these youths?” Davis voiced out, but his expression remained indifferent.

On the other hand, Evelynn became wide-eyed as she saw Davis remain indifferent.

How could he accept this bow from his grandfather!? She was rather worried that his lifespan would drop from being half-believing about superstitions.

However, she didn't say anything as she knew that they had to act their part.

Edgar Alstreim raised his head as he smiled, but everyone else became stunned as they saw him shake his head before they heard.

”I have not come to see your esteemed self.”

'...?'

Isn't this trash here to gain favor like them? Why was he declining the basic etiquette that was required of him? Could it be that only he was trash but also brain-dead?

The next second, they became interested in knowing how Alchemist Davis would respond to this slight. If Sophie Alstreim's action of gifting Evelynn couldn't be considered a slight in his books, then at least, this could be considered a slight, right?

”Oh?” Davis's lips curved a bit, ”Then what have you come here for?”

”I have come for someone else...” Edgar Alstreim replied.

However, he turned to look at Evelynn before giving her a clasp of his hands.

”Alchemist Davis's wife is gorgeous and elegant. No wonder he would be head over heels for your esteemed self as the rumors stated.”

Evelynn seemingly became ecstatic to be acknowledged by her grandfather-in-law. Her lips almost widened, but she suppressed it and instead nodded her head as a form of recognition.
