Elder Enye’s lips pursed, wanting to say something in response to this so-called senior subordinate, but she didn’t say anything in the end.
’As expected, this woman is rather patient and doesn’t fall for a simple provocation...’
Davis waved his hand, his tone disdainful, "We don’t welcome you all here, so just hurry up and leave..."
"You do not have the qualifications to make us leave..." Elder Towerfall arrogantly replied.
He possessed a proud and disdainful expression that completely looked down on Alchemist Davis. Although he too guessed that he was being provoked, unlike Elder Enye, he was unable to restrain himself.
Davis abruptly narrowed his brows, "Do you even know who the Conferred Queen is?"
Elder Towerfall’s gaze suddenly became solemn, "Who?"
"Well..." Davis’s expression relaxed before he smiled, "If you’re so capable, why don’t you find it on your own?"
Protruding veins became visible on Elder Towerfall’s bald head as he knew that he was bested. The prominence over his forehead contained a big vein that made him look exceptionally ugly as well as scary.
Time and time again, this alchemist whom he already knew about yet disdained to converse repeatedly provoked him. Even though he knew he was being provoked, he couldn’t control his urge to pulverize that handsome face.
However, he took a deep breath as his chest heaved. Then the veins that protruded over his head receded like a tide.
"Brat, I’ll give you praise for being even able to stand in front of my martial might, but don’t think I won’t attack you just because you have a backer..." He lifted up a finger and warned as his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Heh, just try it, and perhaps Elder Towerfall would finally know what it’s like to be a slave..." Davis sneered.
This time, he was not kidding.
The attack that sent Arianna Woller flying infuriated him completely. The only reason he didn’t instantly kill was that he saw that Elder Towerfall held back his power and only sent Arianna Woller flying, and didn’t harm her in the least.
Nevertheless, if it were one of his three women who was sent flying, then there would be a bald man’s corpse abandoned on the streets of the city.
Elder Towerfall’s expression froze on hearing the threat.
He had heard about the Conferred Queen’s Protector being a soul expert, able to make Eighth Stage Experts his slave. Although he didn’t completely know about the Protector’s prowess, it didn’t need a genius to tell that the Protector should be a powerful cultivator than him.
Only a Soul Forging Cultivator would be able to hide his other two cultivation like an expert as far as he knew, and the more he recognized this fact, the more he feared the Protector.
However, he only trembled for a moment before humiliation completely filled his mind, realizing that a brat intimidated him!
"You’re asking to die!"
Elder Towerfall’s martial energy completely erupted out!
Suddenly an arrogant shout echoed from a distance.
Davis looked in the direction of the source of the voice and found Havle Alstreim dressed in a new white robe fly towards him with an imposing presence, his High-Level Law Sea Stage undulations spreading like wildfire.
Elder Towerfall also stopped as he looked at Havle Alstreim near him.
By this time, numerous people had noticed the commotion and the arks stationed just before the city. The cowardly ones had already deeply locked themselves in their residences while the brave and the adventurous ones stayed in the premises of their residences to watch.
However, no one dared to come close, afraid that they would be implicated.
Havle Alstreim flew as his blonde hair moved back and forth while his white robes fluttered. There was a symbol of the Alstreim Family behind his white robes and a few patterns that designated his status.
’An elder of the Alstreim Family...’ Elder Towerfall and Elder Enye creased their brows.
They looked at Elder Havle Alstreim’s face and saw that they couldn’t recognize him.
’A new elder?’ They became confused.
As part of the people who were sent to negotiate, they had refreshed their memories on the important people of the Alstreim Family like Elders, Grand Elders, and other prominent people. However, they weren’t able to recognize Havle Alstreim, leading to their confusion.
Elder Havle Alstreim arrived beside Davis before he gave a solemn clasp of his hands towards Alchemist Davis, becoming slightly taken aback by his appearance and features that looked a bit similar to the descendants of the Alstreim Family.
Although he was momentarily taken aback, he didn’t ponder on it too much before turning to look at the people from the Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect as that was his top priority.
He suppressed his anger inside and opened his mouth, "Does your Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect think that it can do anything within the Alstreim Family Territory!?"
"Hah! Were you hiding all this time trying to make a grand entrance when I’m going to really make a move?" Elder Towerfall let out a sneer.
"Hmph! Not only are you bald, but you’re also blind? I just entered from the southwestern gate of the second level returning from the Alstreim Family after reporting the execution of Emperor Hadre Ethren, according to my Ancestor’s orders!"
"Do you want to get executed as well!?" Havle Alstreim bellowed!
He had created an amicable relationship with the Conferred Queen’s Protector, and some of these people who had unknown or unfriendly intent always come to ruin it. He disliked the feeling of his hard work, slipping out of his fingers.
It was one thing for the things he did sneakily to backfire on him, but the amicable relationship was the hard work he accomplished while enduring and swallowing the insults from the Conferred Queen’s Protector!
It made him realize that being diplomatic was no easy task as one’s choice in treating the others can easily influence how people in your faction would treat him, and in this case, the Conferred Queen’s Protector possessed an enormous amount of strength which in turn influenced his people to look up to him.
His status in the Alstreim Family was no longer just one of an Elder but greater than a Chief Elder, nearing a Grand Elder. He even possessed his Ancestor’s permission to enrich the relationship with the Conferred Queen, so he wasn’t kidding but really issuing a threat!
Elder Towerfall and Elder Enye became taken aback. They were rather privy to what had happened, and the people who leaked the information were actually no one as information could be bought. They didn’t plant spies, but they did have a few people who knew intelligence organizations who excelled in collecting information.
Intelligence organizations weren’t out in the open since they were always targeted by people who want their secrets to be not found or do not want people to snoop around them. For this reason alone, many of the Intelligence Organization were hidden from the public eye even though there were branches of intelligence organizations spread out within the Fifty-Two Territories.
The matter of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity couldn’t be hidden. Even if people didn’t know what the plant lifeform was, all they had to do was spread the imagery stones to other people in the form of bragging, and it gradually fell into the hands of the intelligence organizations who then did the relevant research and found a similar plant lifeform in the past!
