Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1422 - Do You Want To Become One?

Nero Alstreim didnʼt know whether to laugh or cry as he stood between them. With his Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Cultivation, he felt minuscule in front of these two but felt like he had to stop them from battling.

When he and Davis left from this place, it was so abrupt that he could only leave a letter. Not much was explained, and he could only make do so with many key points to notice, but it was written with a suspicious intent against Davis as he was not sure but also entirely skeptical at that time.

Now that he had confirmed Davis was honest about his words, he felt like he had to step up and dissolve the misunderstandings, but then, even before he began, these two were already at it, making him inwardly mad.

His Niera had already declared that Davis was her man while kissing in front of him, and she was currently awaiting his return. He definitely could not allow Ezekiel Alstreim and Davis to fight, especially when it was already clear to him that Davis did not wish conflict and was working towards peace even though his methods may be a bit manipulative.

ʼOkay... extremely manipulative...ʼ

Nero Alstreim, inwardly lampooned as he imagined the current situation of him standing to defend Davis, was also the result of Davisʼs seamless manipulation. To defend Nieraʼs honor and secure her future, he would have to keep Davis alive.

”Grandpa, please calm down. As we speak, Davis is working on bringing your beloved wife out of prison.”

”Mhm? Is that true?”

Ezekiel Alstreimʼs eyes lit up.

”Iʼve already taken her out.” Davis shrugged, ”Only you people are left to reunite for her to regain her will to live.”

Ezekiel Alstreim looked visibly taken aback before he couldnʼt help but ask with furrowed brows.

”What do you mean?”

”I do not imply anything. Itʼs just what it is...” Davis couldnʼt help but scoff, ”Youʼre dead to her, and the great-grandson she took a liking to and nurtured became a fiend whoʼs worse than sc.u.m, so you tell me if she would lose the will to live or not, mhm? Or do I see that you prefer her to remarry to regain happiness?”

Ezekiel Alstreimʼs expression fell, but his face went beet red in shame as he didnʼt say anything but looked away.

Davis satisfactorily smiled before he looked into the distance.

”I wonder if I can meet my Niera? I honestly donʼt care about you all if it werenʼt for her desperately trying to keep you altogether when I tested all your characters...”

”Brat! You dare to mention it?” Ezekiel Alstreimʼs eyes widened in rage.

This test Davis spoke of almost gave him a nightmare, a plethora of heart demons, and an unloved child from some random unloved woman that he mightʼve used to sacrifice to get back to Elise again. He had never faced such a test to his will in this lifetime, not even when he was trapped here, knowing that perhaps he might be stuck here for all eternity.

If it werenʼt for Niera stopping him with her innocent tears of wanting them to stick together, he really didnʼt know what kind of action he mightʼve taken.

Davis looked away, feeling that he was wrong to test them since they had proved themselves but still...

”I wonʼt apologize. Otherwise, I wouldnʼt have known and become convinced what kind of people you are all. The end result wouldʼve been I paid zero attention to you and left while you all stayed here to rot. Would you prefer that rather than the trial?”

”...”

Nero Alstreim couldnʼt watch anymore.

”Grandpa, stop squabbling already. Davis has really worked hard to ensure the Alstreim Familyʼs safety. He even got two Ninth Stage Powerhouses to be our guardians. He couldʼve killed our family for the wrongs they have done to his mother, but his mother chose another path, leaving our family alive, only wanting to repent for their sins even though they could be designated as sinners for allowing the Yantra Family from the Flowing Mist Sect to infiltrate.”

Ezekiel Alstreimʼs eyes narrowed, but Nero Alstreim kept his face straight as he continued.

”Last but not least... Without him, we would not be able to go back. Please understand the reality, grandpa...”

His tone sounded with a bit of pleading, causing Ezekiel Alstreim to cast a complex look at Davis before he sighed.

”Seems like you have accepted him as your son-in-law...?”

Nero Alstreimʼs expression fell before he nodded, a bit embarrassed as it might seem like he was coerced or had no choice but to do so.

”That little lass has already grown into a woman and chose a man for herself. I could not do anything about it even if I wanted to do so as she stayed adamant...”

”You tried convincing her?” Davis narrowed his eyes.

”Thatʼs what a family would do if their naive princess decides to spend the rest of her life with a suspicious man whose intent is unknown.” Ezekiel Alstreim sneered.

”She is indeed naive but also highly perceptive. She had already seen through before me you all did, and thatʼs why she fell in love.”

Davis scoffed, reeking with a bit of narcissism. He was about to get mad, but he really could not find fault with Ezekiel Alstreimʼs statement while the latter frowned, not really finding Davis to his liking as he felt like he was betrayed.

He trusted this brat so much enough to give him his own cultivation room, and yet, he was scheming against them, making him mad. When he could vaguely see that Niera held feelings towards him, he didnʼt take it seriously as he also approved in his heart. However, the moment he knew what Davis had been doing, testing them, almost making them fight against each other, his opinion of him dropped to an all-time low.

He didnʼt want Niera to spend her life with a scheming man, but it seemed like Nero Alstreim accepted Davis, telling him another side of the story as a result which made him feel confused.

Davis took off at this moment, wanting to see Niera. Nadia and Eldia followed without caring about the others, while Nero Alstreim and Ezekiel Alstreim quickly followed suit, the latter keeping an eye on him.

Soon, they reached the newly established settlement.

Two blonde-haired, purple-eyed women were waiting by the window of a residence. Their eyes quickly caught sight of the incoming figures before their eyes went moist.

Their figures flashed before they instantly made their way towards them in a blinding speed when Keira Alstreim threw herself towards her husband, hugging him with all her heart as she began to sob silently.

Davis and Niera stopped, looking at each other before he smiled, causing Niera to tremble before she also closed the distance and hugged him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she bit her lips, smiling as if knowing that she was not wrong to have trusted him.

Ezekiel Alstreim looked at their reunion and smiled, but his expression became a bit frustrated when he looked at Niera willingly hug Davis. However, deep in his heart, looking at them cry to their heartʼs content as these two women became relieved, he wanted to experience the same with Elise and wanted her to feel the same relief, making him shut his mouth up.

”I... I knew that a person that I have approved of for our daughter was reliable...” Keira Alstreim sniffled as she smiled at her husband.

Nero Alstreim couldnʼt help but smile complicatedly, wondering if women were more perceptive or emotional because, in this case, they seemed to be right.

”You know what? I found Davisʼs father apt for our first daughter as well. Nora chose that life for herself, and at the moment, she is really happy, even daring enough to call me a creep when I was masked and changed my voice to speak with her. She still doesnʼt know that I was there with her...”

Numerous emotions could be seen in Nero Alstreimʼs eyes.

”That child...” Keira Alstreim couldnʼt help but shed tears again as she smiled, ”Sheʼs going to get spanked by me for calling her father a creep.”

”What child? She has already become a mother... Our granddaughterʼs name is Laura, you know...? She is just a month old...” Nero Alstreimʼs eyes became filled with tears as he held back.

”Letʼs go... I want to see... I want to see all of them... Letʼs return to our family~~~”

Her face fell flat over his c.h.e.s.t as she began to bawl out her suppressed emotions.

Ezekiel Alstreim was deeply shocked to hear their words, while Niera also trembled, turning to raise her face towards Davis.

”Elder sis has become a mother...?”

”Indeed, I have a half-sibling...” Davis awkwardly chuckled.

Not only a half-sibling but also a sibling.

Ignoring Nora, if possible, he wanted his parents to stop procreating as he felt the burden on him also increase since he couldnʼt just play ignorant over his siblings, but who was he to say that? Especially when he was also thinking of having many children with his wives, at least, a girl and a boy with each of his women?

He was equally horny as his parents, and the reason why he didnʼt yet have children was that he had his women take contraceptive pills for selfish yet good reasons.

He pursed his lips as he stared at Niera with his deep, entrancing sapphire eyes.

”Do you want to become one...?”

Niera Alstreim, whose expression was a sight to behold, had her alluring eyes abruptly tremble!

And then...

She actually nodded her head!
