Chapter 1122: Heading To The Ancestral Hall (1/2)
Within a day, Davis returned to the Alstreim Family. Yes, it was that fast, but he and Princess Isabella decided to travel for three days. Furthermore, with Princess Isabella 'carrying' him with her Martial Sage Stage speed, the distance would become shortened to around half a day.
Yet, they took this long.
During this time, Davis knew that many things happened. The transfer of assets was finished quickly, and his mother, Claire, became filthy rich in these four days. She was now the owner of thirty-five million Peak-Level Spirit Stones, of which only about ten percent was in the form of liquidity; spirit stones and treasures while the remaining ninety percent happened to be fixed assets: properties and such.
However, due to keeping Claire's presence a secret, the assets were all designated to Edgar Alstreim's name, so he was the actual owner in truth. Edgar Alstreim was against this idea, but he was forced to accept it due to Claire's and Logan's insistence because of the need to maintain secrecy.
Davis also did not reject this as writing the assets in his name was also problematic. Besides, money wasn't a problem for him.
Furthermore, he felt that he could use this chance to see a few people's true characters. After all, money seemed always to twist people's personalities, sometimes revealing their true character.
In any case, Edgar Alstreim declared on the spot that all the assets and wealth he received at that point would belong to Claire and her descendants, so he felt that there should be no problem with keeping the assets with his grandfather anyway. He also warned him to seal the Spirit Attribute Source Hall for him, and his grandfather acquiesced.
He communicated with others with the soul body he left, not the avatar, because it was in seclusion.
Even Ancestor Dian Alstreim came to meet him twice, but both times, he gave an excuse that he was on the verge of a breakthrough and sent him away.
”A third time would absolutely piss him off...” Davis loudly pondered as he stepped into Purple Guest Palace's eighteenth floor.
Abruptly, the sight of Princess Isabella interacting and playing with him flashed past his eyes before he smilingly shook his head.
'As she said, perhaps... I'll be feeling lonely for a day or two...'
Davis turned around and headed towards the central zone of the Grand Alstreim City. Soon, he arrived at the Ancestral Hall, where he heard the Ancestor was present.
He flew towards the big gate, wanting to enter.
”Halt!”
Two overbearing sounds echoed, but he paid them no heed and pushed the big door open before entering.
A huge serpent-tail abruptly appeared beside him, about to smack him to death. However, it suddenly stopped and started to tremble.
”You can go inside...”
Davis looked at the pale blue serpent tail that was about to smack him recede from where it came, from the avant-garde lake. He looked towards his left and saw another pale-ice tail retreat the same.
'Two powerful entities, both at the Mid-Level Eighth Stage... King Beast Stage Magical Beasts? Ice-Tailed Sea Serpents...?'
Davis had heard of these magical beasts before. Apparently, they were offshoots from the Aqua Flood Dragon.
Soon, he arrived in front of a particular large door and brazenly entered.
What appeared in front of him was a long hall that seemed to stretch towards the end. A common platform appeared in the end, and a pale-faced young man seemed to be seated on a cultivation cushion.
Davis took a step into the air and flew towards the end. In a minute, he arrived and took a step on the platform beside the pale-faced man, standing beside him.
”I've come as you requested, Ancestor~” Davis chuckled.
”Your disrespect towards me is as plain as ever...” Ancestor Dian Alstreim lightly shook his head in frustration.
”However, don't you think that it was careless to not guard against the tail-attack of the Ice-Tailed Sea Serpent? If I hadn't sent a soul transmission, what would have happened to you? Be more careful about your life and death. I still haven't announced the matter of your bloodline to the world, so no one other than the people present at that time knows you're an Alstreim, and that is why I precisely called you, wanting to talk to you for that sake...”
Looking at him be criticized as if Ancestor Dian Alstreim was his grandfather, Davis chuckled, ”I was more concerned about the life and death of those two Ice-Tailed Sea Serpents...”
He pointed towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim's side, causing the latter to look aside slowly.
”!!!”
Ancestor Dian Alstreim's body slightly shook. He was almost given a jumpscare as he saw a flawless, blindingly beautiful woman stand towards his other side. He couldn't help but chuckle as he turned to look at Davis.
”No wonder... But is this the Dragon Queen's will? She won't completely let you go even after all that?”
”What are you saying?” Davis shook his head but nodded, ”However, in a way, Ancestor is correct.”
”Isabella couldn't bear to leave me alone, and so, she left her magical beast pet with me. I am now Nadia's master.”
*!!!~*
It was as if an explosion had occurred! Ancestor Dian Alstreim's eyes went wide as he possessed a shocked expression on his face.
