Chapter 1216: The Myth He Had Heard (1/2)

Davis watched their body become stiff while their eyes stayed on the canteen he held. It wasn't a stupid move as he had thought a lot before revealing that he had the nectar with him.

If they were any other group that he didn't like, he would've sabotaged and killed them without a doubt. No, he would've abandoned following them long ago or stopped thinking of trying his chances, but now that he was here and came to know that they were not bad people, he felt that such an ending for this trio wasn't deserved.

Besides, he was more than ninety-nine percent sure that they wouldn't harm him because Alia's lifespan was more than it seemed in reality.

They were all thinking that she was going to die, but she would not die, meaning that events led him to help them instead of killing them. He had thought about it a lot and felt that Alia's lifespan had changed the moment he decided to follow them at the Dark Thunder Island. They were afar at that time, or else he felt that his Death God Eyes would've reacted to the change.

Since this was what probably transpired, he felt that it would be safe. Besides, having to go back to the Alstreim Family just to put an act when he could get it over right now was equal to wasting time, and time was something that he lacked right now. Moreover, he inwardly appreciated this old lady for wanting to let him go.

If they had all tried to kill or capture him, he wouldn't have held back in responding in aggression either.

Davis and Nadia lost the moment Zanna found them, but the moment she responded to his 'wait!', Zanna and her people lost since Davis had them checkmated with Fallen Heaven. Davis now believed that he had control of the situation, leading to his confidence and calmness. However, that would soon change with him revealing this nectar.

Of course, he was going to give it to them as he had made his decision, but would they kill or capture him afterward?

He rather remained expectant what kind of a course they would take, but he already knew the answer with Alia's lifespan. Since her lifespan was long and there seemed to be no signs of changing, that meant the two groups maintained peace. At least, that is what he could infer.

”Here, take the nectar and use it to break through to the Martial Sage Stage.”

The trio appeared to look as if they had heard something inconceivable. Their gaze fell on Davis as they narrowed their eyes, wondering what brought him to do this kind of stunt.

”What is the meaning of this? You're revealing that you have the nectar in front of us?” Mival still didn't make a move as he deeply stared at Davis.

Davis's lips widened as he spoke with a smile.

”Sincerity...”

Mival looked at the brat who still keep his composure in front of him.

Sincerity...?

Was he naive or possess a grand plan in store for them? He couldn't figure it out. If Alia wasn't behind him, he would be bolder, but with her near to this existence that seemed to linger outside his common sense, he stayed vigilant.

However, Davis did indeed have a plan for them because he recalled who these people might be, but he wasn't sure of a few things, wanting to verify them first. Revealing the nectar was also for that.

”Is that really something that could make me reach the Martial Sage Stage...?” Alia stepped out from Mival's back as she walked towards Davis.

Mival tried to stop her, but she raised her hand towards him before stopping a few meters away from Davis.

”Yes, you have my word, and the Dragon Queen's too.” Davis answered, ”This one liter of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's Nectar will help you step into the Martial Sage Stage, and it wouldn't let you feel much pain as a wave of pleasure soon follows with every circulation of your martial energy.”

Indeed, one liter was enough according to his calculations. Princess Isabella needed two liters, but that was in accordance with above-average requirements as she possessed an Unblemished Foundation. However, the same couldn't be said about Jade Sua or this Alia, so he mused that they only needed one liter of the nectar to experience a breakthrough to the Martial Sage Stage.

”I assume you are at the peak of Martial Master Stage?” Davis asked.

Alia nodded as her black eyes were quite dull. She looked as if she was reminiscing her past.

”Yes, but no matter how hard I try to break through into the Martial Sage Stage, I couldn't. My talent is subpar, and I am unable to condense and engrave the laws I have comprehended into my flesh to mark my entry into the Martial Sage Stage. I have been nothing but a burden to my husband Mival, wasting his hard-earned wealth.”

”It's not like that, Alia!” Mival bellowed.
