Chapter 1238: Swaying Hearts (1/2)

”However, we can't be hasty...” Davis frowned, making the other two suddenly turn attentive.

”Didn't you say that Ancestor Tirea Snow has many suitors? If you two were to announce marriage, wouldn't the Alstreim Family receive the aggression of those so-called suitors who only managed to catch of glimpse of her beauty from far away?”

”They would be all flying in to scheme against you, against the Alstreim Family even if they can't openly do anything against us since we have consent from both parties, even if there are voices of rejection amongst our two powers.”

Davis's speculation was correct that it left both Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow feeling helpless.

”Of course, no one in our powers is allowed to reject our union.” Ancestor Tirea Snow's expression turned sharp, ”We at least deserve this after being separated for a long time, is what I would like to say, but since we've been forcefully separated, everything will be done in our way, even if it is extremely selfish!”

”However, this idea of yours now seems bleak when portrayed by your family's hope, Dian...”

As for Ancestor Dian Alstreim, it wasn't as if he didn't consider it, but he already knew many powerhouses wanted to take Tirea Snow as their main wife. Most of them were powerful than him, but she choose him, so how could he cower and let it go just because he was a bit weak?

He was still a Ninth Stage Powerhouse, and if they wanted Tirea, they would have to step on his corpse!

Eventually, they would have to marry openly. Otherwise, he would be letting her down, not to mention that this was the best chance to get two birds with one stone. He gets to marry her, making their relationship formal while getting his revenge on the Yantra Family. What else could he ask for?

”What are you sulking for? I already said that I would strike anyone who asks my hand in marriage after this, didn't I? What? Are you reluctant to use me, my powers? Don't tell me you think this as of 'hiding behind a woman'?”

Tirea Snow beratingly asked Dian Alstreim, causing him to vehemently shake his head. Davis blinked, seeing these two already behaved like husband and wife. Well, considering that they did the deed for days or weeks after his unscrupulous help, he could see that the reserved mask that they had set up had fallen off their faces.

Nevertheless, he knew that the situation with the Yantras has worsened, especially with the addition of this unknown factor known as the Poison Lord Villa. How far would they go to offend the great righteous powers of the large-sized Territories, he didn't know, but he could tell that if provoked or retaliated against, they certainly wouldn't leave the Alstreim Family alive.

As poison experts, mass-slaughter was their specialty, able to cause poison plagues wherever they went, especially the aftermath was extremely miserable that people didn't dare to step foot in the place where their poisonous footsteps could be seen, afraid that they might be poisoned by a devious trap. He didn't want to underestimate their threat level, and neither did he want the world to know that he had a terrifying power by mysteriously killing them.

He could act like a smart-ass by preemptively attacking them, but the wicked path would definitely investigate, and at that time, even if he wasn't caught, he still would get attacked because wicked powers rarely cared about evidence. In truth, they didn't care. Striking fear into the hearts of every man and woman was what they cared about!

Heck, even if someone else massacred the Poison Lord Villa, the Alstreim Family might be the one to suffer because...

They were wicked powers!

Just knowing that they stood in opposition to that particular power would be enough for them to lead an incursion to the Alstreim Family, making them easily poison millions of people to death.

Davis's expression took on a grimace. Truly, looking after a large power like this was a headache. He couldn't proceed without making sacrifices, but sacrifices were what he hated the most after betrayals. To not make sacrifices was why he bitterly trained without being with his wives, enjoying their company and care.

Even now, he felt a bit bad to burden Evelynn for almost everything. Originally, he was a carefree person with almost no responsibilities, but now, he had to think with many factors included in his mind. He didn't like this life at all as he wanted to return to his carefree days.

Nevertheless, Davis's eyes suddenly lit up as an idea welled up in his mind.

The Alstreim Family has another Ninth Stage Powerhouse in the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago's sealed space, and combined with the two Ninth Stage Powerhouses he saw outside the sealed space, there would be three Ninth Stage Powerhouses defending the Alstreim Family!

However, that was if he could successfully invite Mival, Alia, and Zanna to the Alstreim Family. He wasn't sure about that, but Ezekiel Alstreim would definitely defend this place to death, especially since Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's and his home were here.

However...

'If he sees that Grand Elder Elise Alstreim is imprisoned, he might go bonkers instead and attack us, considering how he has waited for Elise all this time without taking any women on the other side...'

Davis's expression was unamused. If it weren't for this, he would've already let him outside since he was a valuable asset. Fallen Heaven's puppets wouldn't cut it. He needed powerhouses like Mival, Zanna, and Ezekiel Alstreim to protect the people he cared about without using Fallen Heaven's power.

He had used Fallen Heaven to his content in the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago because people wouldn't come to know, nor did magical beasts cared if other species died. However, if he used it here, it might change the state of what he had currently found himself in!

The more he used Fallen Heaven, the more he understood its powers. It wasn't simply a matter of causing death or healing someone. It changed people's fate when it caused death and gave them life. It is simply out of this world that he cannot continue to keep using it carelessly in the cultivation world. If he has to use it, he had to use it without making anyone strange know about it, making sure that the kill was made by a culprit and not some mysterious power.

He didn't want a Mystic Diviner on his trail for no reason as he felt that they might pinpoint disturbances in fate. Especially, the Heaven Gazing Sect that announced to this whole world about the Calamity Light. He definitely didn't want to get on their radar for disturbing the fate of major powers.
