Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1098 I Deserve A Thousand Deaths!

Davis practically went flabbergasted, ʼDoes this man have no shame?ʼ

To see an Elder get on all fours and kowtow towards three people as if he was kowtowing to everyone rather left everyone stunned. The Elders and Grand Elders, especially Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, felt second-hand embarrassment, but the anger they felt was still present in their hearts, making them want to chop up Elder Zeno Alstreim into pieces!

”Mhm...” Davis smiled and loudly wondered, ”Zeno Alstreim has admitted that he tried to poison me. Now, I wonder what kind of punishment would be meet out? Execution or lifetime imprisonment?”

The Eldersʼ and Grand Eldersʼ expression slightly shifted. Alchemist Davis was intent on eliminating Elder Zeno Alstreim due to the offense committed against him. However, they were not against it.

After all, they thought Elder Zeno Alstreim deserved to die, and not to mention that it would be taking out an adversary from another camp. It was unknown what would happen to Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and his family at this moment, but if they could take down his loyal subordinate, it was a win in their dictionary all the same.

Nevertheless, they felt that it was a good thing that Alchemist Davis took the initiative to tell the Ancestor to seal the place and also gave two choices to punish Elder Zeno Alstreim. At the least, it implied that Alchemist Davis was even willing to cooperate with them to conclude this incident amicably.

With this, they can essentially suppress the information and give benefits to Alchemist Davis so that their relationship can stay harmonious while having Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreimʼs side weaken. This is what they would call a win-win situation, catching two birds with one stone!

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim was still in disbelief. He couldnʼt understand why his loyal subordinate would do something like this!

He recalled that Alchemist Davis was vaguely interested in Zeno Alstreim at the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House, and that made him instantly muse that Alchemist Davis might be perhaps trying to frame Elder Zeno Alstreim to bring him down a notch.

But now that Elder Zeno Alstreim confessed that he was the one who tried to poison Alchemist Davis, he didnʼt know what to think of it anymore.

Just a while ago, he was chilling in his mansion, flirting with his slave servant in relaxation, but suddenly he received a report stating that Edgar Alstreim had prepared a life and death contract to kill Weiss Alstreim. Although he didnʼt think anything of it, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim got wind of it, making her unable to become calm before her emotions became frail, wanting to see Weiss Alstreim once again. He pursued her here, and what happened following it shook his mind terribly.

What seemed to be a death date for Weiss Alstreim turned out to almost be the same for them!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes in displeasure before a sorrowful glint flashed past his purple eyes. He imperceptibly took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He did not even want to hear the reason as he felt that it would be as ridiculous and ugly as any betrayer would give after regretting the fact.

”Valdrey Alstreim, execute Zeno Alstreim on the spot!”

What!? The Revered Ancestor decided on executing Elder Zeno Alstreim!?

Elder Zeno Alstreim practically went pale as his body trembled.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreimʼs expression shook! He gazed at the Ancestor with a bit of absent-mindedness before he cast his look at Elder Zeno Alstreim.

”Why did you try to poison Alchemist Davis?”

”I made a blunder, and Iʼm too ashamed to say the reason... I deserve a thousand deaths!” Elder Zeno Alstreim still continued to kowtow.

”Please forgive me, master.”

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreimʼs expression became disheartened. Couldnʼt tell the reason? He almost clenched his fists in disappointment before he let it go.

However...

”I refuse!” He echoed!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes, ”Why do you refuse to put an end to your subordinate who has made a calamitous mistake?”

”I cannot kill my loyal subordinate with my own two hands! Iʼm afraid that you must ask someone else here. Please understand, Ancestor!” Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim clasped his hands and bowed.

Elder Zeno Alstreimʼs eyes imperceptibly flashed. His expression was miserable, but inwardly, he was rejoicing that his master refused to kill him!

”Very well. Donʼt hold a grudge towards the one who would execute him shortly...” Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke before he looked at the other Grand Elders.

”Is there anyone willing to step out and handle this responsibility?”

A few Grand Elders looked at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and seeing that he didnʼt object nor respond, a few of them stepped forward at the same time.

”Wait!”

The sudden voice stopped them, almost making them trip from nothing in mid-air because it was Alchemist Davisʼs voice. They looked at him in disbelief, wondering why he would stop them from executing Elder Zeno Alstreim when it was him who forced Ancestor Dian Alstreim to take a decision.

Could it be that Alchemist Davis knew whatʼs beneficial for him and wanted Elder Zeno Alstreim to be imprisoned for a lifetime instead?

If this was the case, they couldnʼt help but gaze at him in awe.

After all, instead of becoming blinded by momentary gain, this youth instead concentrated on benefits, and at the same time, he could establish himself to be a magnanimous man in their eyes!

They felt that Alchemist Davis might truly become a Soul King, or perhaps even a fabled Soul Emperor in the future with this kind of temperament!

However, their jaws dropped the next moment as they saw Alchemist Davis summon a projection, soul projection to be exact.

Weiss Alstreim shifted away, and the space in front of Davis became filled with misty haze before two figures manifested. A man and a woman stood, looking at each other.

They recognized that it was none other than Elder Zeno Alstreim and Immeth Alstreim, the latter being the Young Mistressʼs favored subordinate.

[Father, after I left the Alchemy Exchange, Weiss Alstreim assaulted me...]

[Good. You havenʼt lost your innocence yet. You are still of some use.]

[Yes, father.]

Father? What...?

Looking at Elder Zeno Alstreim use his soul sense to scan the person who seemed to be his daughter, everyone possessed a disgusted expression on their faces as they cast a momentary glance at the kowtowing and miserable Zeno Alstreim.

On the other hand, Elder Zeno Alstreim was utterly flabbergasted!

ʼHow!???ʼ

ʼHow was Alchemist Davis able to witness this scene without me knowing!?ʼ

ʼJust how was it possible!?ʼ

His heart dropped as he knew that even his little bit of chances that he was going to survive, turn non-existent!

[Well then, I heard that you tried seducing Alchemist Davis, but it failed?]

The soul projection continued to play out.

[Alchemist Davis truly entered the Mature Soul Stage at the end of the Alchemy Exchange! Considering his young age that...]

[...]

[Nevertheless, since Alchemist Davis didnʼt completely reject you, it means that you still have a bit of chance! So, no matter what, even if you canʼt receive his love, you must receive his seed!]

[Even if you have to sacrifice your useless dignity, pride, respect, and honor by groveling on the floor in all fours, you must bear his child!]

[Yes!]

Everyone felt like vomiting at this moment as they watched the conversation between Immeth Alstreim and Elder Zeno Alstreim. However, they realized that they had uttered similar words to their familiesʼ young women, causing them to feel their cheeks heat up vaguely.

[For some reason, it seems that Alchemist Davis displayed animosity towards Nora Alstreim in the Alchemy Exchange when they sat nearby but fortunately, I had one of my servants nearby. He informed me that Alchemist Davis seemed to be offended by Nora Alstreimʼs hypocrisy over a certain matter.]

[What matter?]

[The matter that was orchestrated by us more than twenty-five years ago in the secret entrance of the Forsaken Phoenix Realm.]

[Claire Alstreimʼs? I remember now.]

[The look of anger and despair on her face when I played the Imagery Stone of the fake Nora Alstreimʼs mocking farewell message was... extravagant!]

Everyoneʼs expression froze at this moment, especially Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreimʼs, and Edgar Alstreimʼs expression became a sight to see! They had a look of pure disbelief on their faces as their mouths imperceptibly moved.

”Nora...”

”Claire...”

[So, what about her?]

[Iʼd like to congratulate you that was a scheme beautifully enacted. You did it without alerting the other participants, and I convinced Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim that Nora Alstreim caused Claire Alstreim to be stranded in the secret entrance of the Forsaken Phoenix Realm.]

[In the present, it all connects to you obtaining a chance to have a conversation with Alchemist Davis again since he seems to believe the rumors that we spread about Nora Alstreim with passion.]

[Use this opportunity to initiate a conversation and tell him that you are afraid of Nora Alstreim and want to repent. Bring him to an isolated place and show him the ʼproofʼ, that Imagery Stone, which you shouldʼve kept with you, and ʼconfessʼ that you would like to work with him to reveal Nora Alstreimʼs wrongdoing!]

[And at the moment he does agree, fall into his embrace, and naturally... no man would resist saving the damsel in distress and making her his, especially when you have already tried to give your innocence to him once.]

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreimʼs expression trembled intensely, and his lips quivered without stop as he saw Immeth Alstreim and Elder Zeno Alstreim in the projection smile deviously.

His eyes strangely flickered, and his head couldnʼt help but turn to look at that so-called loyal subordinate who seemed to be trembling intensely from fear!
