Chapter 1270: Silent Watcher (2/2)
'Wait a minute... Is that why no Ninth Stage Powerhouses from the Infernal Lightning Palace willingly fall into the spatial crack? Could it be that they know about this sealed space but don't try to do anything about it since they would be eternally trapped?'
Davis felt like he was overthinking now as it was impossible to know about the situation inside as communication to the outside world seemed impossible. However, if they were to have records because it was an Immortal Inheritance just like how the Tripartite Alliance's three powers had the records of the Forsaken Phoenix Realm...
Davis didn't know what to think anymore. It was just two seconds, but these thoughts all ran in his mind before he looked at Nero Alstreim.
”You want to sightsee the city after a long time or what?”
”I would like to do that, but not now. I'll do that with my wife. Uhm... you got the biggest and luxurious guest palace here, so arrange me a place to stay where I can easily see my daughter and the child within walking a few steps, where you can keep me on close watch.” Nero Alstreim smilingly uttered.
Davis nodded but shrugged, ”You know, your daughter's going to think you're a creep if you don't tell her who you are...”
”Fine with me...” Nero Alstreim shrugged as well, ”I'll be a silent watcher for now. Besides, isn't this more advantageous to you?””
”Right...” Davis smiled in return as they both knew that he would be put into a tough spot if Nora asks to see her mother soon after she came to see her father. Even though there was a chance that she might not ask, her hopeful eyes might cause him to feel bad, giving him a headache.
He had planned to take them away from the island after a month, and that month would be beneficial to Eldia, who should be currently roaming in the Dark Thunder Island.
Davis then took Nero Alstreim to a nearby unoccupied living space and strictly told him not to disturb his parents unless they came out of that living space, and Nero Alstreim nodded his head. He understood that he would not be allowed inside but instead kicked out as he was still a masked man to them.
After that, he returned.
”Mother, take me to see father...” Davis opened his mouth as soon as he entered.
”Alright, but who was that? Why does he want to see Nora?”
Claire asked in a doubtful manner while Nora also attentively listened.
”I can only assure that he won't absolutely harm you, two mothers. As for who he is... I have provided a room for him to stay ten rooms away from here, so ask him yourselves if you want to...”
”What...?” Claire appeared confused before she shook her head, ”Davis, your actions are truly difficult for me to comprehend, but if you say so, then it must be safe with him around.”
”Huh?” Nora Alstreim uttered a sound of disbelief, ”You can't be serious? You're going to keep some stranger around us, at this time when your mother is weakened while I have my Laura to protect? Logan... no, forget all of us, we practically can't do anything against a Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Expert even in our peak.”
She sounded worried, to which Davis simply replied.
”I think I am more dangerous to you than that person, ahahaha.”
Nora Alstreim appeared even more confused while Davis prodded his mother to take him to his father. Although Claire was confused as just like Nora, she still took him to their bedroom.
Inside the room, Logan seemed to be resting on a bed with his eyes a bit swollen and his facial expression looking a bit lethargic. Davis couldn't help but turn to look at Claire.
”Mother, why didn't you say anything about this to me sooner?”
”It was your father who blocked me...” Claire lowered her head.
Davis turned to look back at his father, who awkwardly smiled back at him.
”Davis, it's been almost a year...” His voice sounded a bit hoarse.
”Father...” Davis sounded a bit low as if he didn't like seeing his father be injured, ”Idiot father, if you are wounded in the soul, why didn't you just say so?”
He walked towards Logan with an annoyed expression on his face.
