Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2314 Alstreimʼs Determination

Davis was thankful to Whis Alstreim for offering words of wisdom, but he already wanted to stop hearing about the tragedies caused by the Vacuous Beasts. The more he heard about it, the more his hatred grew for Fraser Herrion and the more pity he grew for Myria because she was the one being targeted for it.

Surely, if these people heard that Myria was the source, they would go after her to seek vengeance. Founder Alstreim Windstorm was the same until he made the other party understand somewhat, but not everyone would be as understanding as Founder Alstreim Windstorm.

He couldnʼt help but feel complicated about this matter.

”Well said, uncle Whis.”

”All we can do is strive forward, so I admit defeat. All the resources in our family will be henceforth splurged on you.”

Davis raised his brows. Admitting defeat was commendable but to accept it in the heart and remain optimistic was a feat beyond average men. Just how did Founder Alstreim Windstorm raise these individuals?

He couldnʼt help but want to know the trick as he would have his own children to look after in the future.

”I donʼt want it.” However, he shook his head.

”Donʼt be so humble.” Jerius Alstreim smirked, ”You have the right to be arrogant.”

Davis clicked his tongue, shooting an amused look, ”Iʼm not humble. Iʼm richer than you all at the moment.”

”Ha, donʼt lie—”Jerius Alstreim almost laughed out loud but suddenly froze, recalling his defeat.

He couldnʼt help but look at his grandpa.

”It canʼt be, right?”

How could the Grand Beginnings Continent have immortal resources?

”But it is true...”

Founder Alstreim Windstorm lampooned, causing Jerius Alstreimʼs lips to hang agape.

”Alright, it was good to make acquaintance with you all. However, Iʼll also give you people a fair warning. Donʼt ever think of double-crossing me. If I find any one of you trampling the growth of this family and mine as weʼre interconnected, donʼt think of staying alive even with an Immortal Kingʼs protection. At that time, even death would be a luxury.”

”Now, if someone could show us our quarters, Iʼll be thankful for starters.”

Davis smiled brightly and cupped his hands as though he had said something to felicitate their meeting, leaving Jerius Alstreim and the others speechless.

However, the level-headed Whis Alstreim only had his expression slightly twitch before he brought Davis away as he gestured.

”This way…”

Davis nodded before he followed Whis Alstreim into the mansion.

The people looked at the mansionʼs broken roof tiles before glancing at Jerius Alstreim, who wryly smiled. He turned to look towards his grandfather, his expression becoming solemn from awkwardness.

”Grandpa, just who is he? How could he be so powerful?”

”Ah, youʼll eventually know in the future. For now, please donʼt ask. Even if others demand information on even the slightest hint of him for some wealthy exchange, donʼt spread it, or else, forget about him killing you. Iʼll kill you all myself and commit suicide because there isnʼt another path for us once the world knows who he is. We will face a fate worse than death.”

”…”

Founder Alstreim Windstormʼs words left them even more speechless than Davisʼs speech, even horrified, causing Jerius Alstreim to hesitantly open his mouth.

”Is… is the situation really that dire?”

”Dire?”

Founder Alstreim Windstorm recalled the abnormal amount of immortals in the South Ascendance Monument, even inviting an Immortal King. If even the South Ascendance Monument attracted such a line-up, then he could very well understand what happened in the West Ascendance Monument, causing him to smilingly shake his head.

Since the Emperor of Death was undoubtedly connected to the Alstreim Family while the immortals who exited the Grand Beginnings Continent should know that he allied with Davis, he knew that he would definitely come looking for them.

Fortunately, when he came here with his family, he did so in anonymity while this mansion belonged to Klade, the relatively unknown Burning Phoenix who refused to mingle with his fellow Burning Phoenix because they shunned him. Also, many people didnʼt know that they had only become sworn brothers in the last few decades.

Therefore, it was unlikely that they could connect the two of them and appear here to demand the Emperor of Death to step out unless someone became aware that the Alstreims were here.

”I donʼt want to remain weak and pushed around by the major powers anymore.” Founder Alstreim Windstormʼs expression became solemn as he raised his hand, a glint of determination shining in his eyes, ”We either aim for the top or die trying, as this is our only chance to make sure that we wonʼt lose anyone ever again!”

”… Yes!”

Everyoneʼs eyes widened as they gave a reply in unison, their hearts resonating with him.

They were indeed sick and tired of losing everyone. It wasnʼt like they didnʼt have enmities with other powers, but in the face of absolute death arriving before them, they were powerless to even quarrel or curse. They didnʼt want to feel such helplessness anymore, causing them to become riled up.

They were no longer the people who wished to avoid falling to death but walked through that thin ledge.

Founder Alstreim Windstorm watched his familyʼs expression and nodded satisfactorily, expecting them to give him their full support.

”Itʼs been a long journey. Let me go take some rest first.”

”Please do, father—”

Everyone wished for him to rest, causing Founder Alstreim Windstorm to smile brightly.

He had inflamed everyoneʼs hearts and was grateful that they still followed his old bones, but he couldnʼt help but feel slightly weak at the moment. After all, he had left three drops of his blood essence to Davisʼs little sister, Diana, and one drop to Davisʼs cousin, Lucia, as a precautionary measure to prop up the Alstreim Family if they all died, including Davis.

But shortly after he transfused his blood, Davis had given him a dubious pill that miraculously boosted his regeneration of blood essence, so he was not surprised that he was a capable apothecary and an alchemist who would probably be able to heal his sworn brother Klade although it came as a surprise.

In fact, he truly hoped that Davis could save Klade. Otherwise, the guilt from being useless would only make him feel worse.

Nonetheless, he thought he would be back to shape soon with a bit of rest, returning to his bedchambers to sleep.
