Chapter 1293: Is The Protector Shy? (1/2)
While Davis inwardly sighed, the golden-haired youth had an annoyed look on his face before he exasperatedly sighed.
”Sigh, fine... I won't bother about the greeting of commoners, but if a mere countryside family has the gall to confer the title of Dragon Queen, then what are we Dragon Families for? Mhmm?”
His tone was inquisitive and overbearing as he looked behind and shot a look at a white-robed elder who happened to be at the forefront of the pursuers. It was none other than Grand Elder Krax Alstreim.
”That is...”
Grand Elder Krax Alstreim didn't know how to answer this question when suddenly a voice echoed.
”That is because an honorable and brave woman named Isabella saved our entire family from the terror of the Aqua Flood Dragon by purely suppressing it with her bloodline alone. If such a character doesn't deserve the title from us, then I guess we have truly offended the Four Great Dragon Families. You have my apology...”
Ancestor Dian Alstreim clasped his hands with an emotionless face as he maintained a high ground in the air, seemingly both apologetic yet arrogant.
The youth narrowed his brows before he let out a contemptuous smirk. He didn't say anything but turned his head towards the blonde-haired youth who had that odd smile on his face for no reason.
”What are you? A gatekeeper? Go call your Young Mistress for me...”
”Today, I have come to meet the so-called Dragon Queen of the Alstreim Family to see what kind of character and strength she possesses. I truly want to know if she's someone fake or a true character who possesses the bloodline of a dragon...”
Everyone's expression changed as if becoming slightly confused.
Wasn't the Dragon Queen said to be from a Dragon Family? Even if she wasn't from a Dragon Family, surely, to have a Protector of that caliber, she must be a prominent family.
But why was this young man from the grand and famous Zlatan Family claiming to want to see her if she is fake or not?
Most of them here were elders and possessed experience in terms of worldview, and their expressions quickly became polluted with confusion and misinterpretations.
”Who are you then? You have yet to name yourself?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke with the same uncaring voice.
”Me? I'm only an insignificant character in my family, but to you all, I'm the same as heaven's son.” A smirk appeared along with a haughty expression that became apparent on his face as he turned back to see Ancestor Dian Alstreim, looking at him with a bold gaze as if he was not scared of a Ninth Stage Powerhouse.
Many possessed offended expressions, but their ugly expressions instead served for the golden-haired man's haughtiness to increase unabatedly.
”Still, I guess that it's a bit overbearing for me to treat a hegemon of a small-sized Territory without respect. However, the only people who deserve respect from me are Ninth Stage Powerhouses and few certain Eighth Stage Experts. If you all don't like it, then get out of my face.”
”I asked what your name is...” Ancestor Dian Alstreim repeated once again with the same indifferent expression on his face.
”Raeburn Zlatan...” The golden-haired youth narrowed his eyes.
'Looks like he is not that much of an idiot to ignore a question from a Ninth Stage Powerhouse twice...'
Davis smiled, feeling that there must be at least something to look forward to in this encounter with the Zlatan Family.
”I see. Raeburn Zlatan... Your conduct is simply not good for your family's reputation. I'll turn a blind eye to entering the family's territory without our permission if you go back to the borders and come back with our word of consent.”
”Heh, go ahead and report to the four great righteous powers if Ancestor Dian Alstreim wants to... However, I would not be so sure as to whether if they would send a punitive force for something like forcefully entering a countryside hegemon's territory. After all, I haven't even destroyed anything other than a single formation that I had easily compensated after throwing out a spatial ring... I'm sure one of your people got it, or did they turn traitor and run away with that wealth?” He sneered.
He was sure that this power didn't have the guts or the capability to touch him,
”Ancestor! It is with me!~” Elder Havle Alstreim shouted as he was given a mini heart attack.
He had already informed about this matter to Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, so he did not want other people to misunderstand.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim frowned; however, it was not because of that insignificant formation but because of this youth's overbearingness. This was why he felt so tied up when facing a prominent character from the large-sized Territories. The other party said that he was insignificant, but he recognized the name and identity of Raeburn Zlatan, who seemed to be the second youngest child of the Patriarch of the Zlatan Family. How could such a person be insignificant?
They had influence, background, and other resources that he could never hope to obtain, and these were the reasons that made him stay his hand. It was effortless for him to punish this youth, but the consequences following after that was not something he could do deal with as once a member of a dragon family was bullied, the big shots would descend to the Alstreim Family and destroy their territory while having a valid excuse in their hands.
At that time, he would really be playing into their hands.
Nevertheless, he didn't know the Dragon Queen's true background, so he was curious as this youth, but he could also tell that Davis was somewhat odd in not revealing her background to him of his own accord.
That felt somewhat suspicious, but he wasn't greedy. He only needed Davis to grow and bring the Alstreim Family to new heights or at least to their peak. He was satisfied with that alone.
”Welcome to the Alstreim Family, esteemed guest from the Zlatan Family. From this moment, I am happy to invite your esteemed self as the guest so that you can stay here and enjoy the pleasantness of our city without a problem.”
At this moment, an ecstatic voice echoed, causing everyone to turn their heads towards the owner of the boot-licking voice.
Davis narrowed his eyes, recognizing that person to be that nameless Grand Elder who seemed opposing to his Isabella for no apparent reason at that time during the Alchemy Exchange. He recognized this person to be named Keris Alstreim.
Raeburn Zlatan smiled as he pointed at that Keris Alstreim, ”You are smart.”
