Chapter 536 Obtaining Revenge
Although Princess Isabella could guess that this matter wasn't aimed at her, she still wanted to know who had dared to endanger her life.
Royal Protector Aleron shook his head, "An alchemist will sell it off to Black Markets, Auctions and other such entities, so even if they aren't the mastermind, they will still be untraceable unless we can find the merchant and force him to reveal his client."
"I see..." Princess Isabella pondered for a second, not willing to approach this matter anymore since it can cause suspicion on her as well.
Instead, she asked, "Is there anyone who had succeeded in Magical Beast Transformation?"
"Of course!!" Royal Protector Aleron smiled, "For example, I know the myth of a man who successfully managed to become a half-human and half magical beast existence."
"He is an ancient entity who is actually more than 40,000 years old!"
"40,000 years old!?" Princess Isabella found it hard to keep up her act. She inadvertently exclaimed and quickly acted as if she understood it.
The other three weren't surprised that Princess Isabella didn't know of the myth because the myth was occasionally spread only in the Alstreim Family Territory and not the other territories.
So they didn't find it suspicious that 'Miss' Isabella didn't know of it. This assumption also further constructed the fact that she came from another territory.
"Yes. It is said that the man absorbed the blood essence of a Viridian Lightning Fox which bloodline potential is at the King Rank of Magical Beast Species."
"The myth tells that he had managed to absorb a large amount of the Viridian Lightning Fox's Blood Essence when he was a waning Seventh Stage old man who was on his death bed and managed to become humanoid fox-like existence, becoming extremely young, brimming with vitality."
"It told that he become a Peak-Level Eighth Stage Expert in a few years, reaching the peak of the bloodline potential of a King Grade Species."
"As for whether measuring him with Human Cultivation System or Magical Beast Cultivation System, I am not sure about this..." Royal Protector Aleron shook his head.
"The myth didn't explain how he successfully managed to make a transformation? It didn't say where he lived?" Princess Isabella questioned.
"The myth did indeed tell his location but how can a living myth stay in one location for a long time? It is said that the half-human and half-fox man became a recluse and doesn't appreciate visitors, choosing to spend his time alone with his companion who chose to stay with him."
"But as a long time had passed, it is extremely possible that his companion had already died and he is alone now..."
"As for how he managed to successfully transform, the myth didn't explain, otherwise, there would be a lot of daring people trying this method."
"I see..." Princess Isabella nodded her head and politely clapped her hands, "Thank you for the explanation."
Royal Protector Aleron laughed, "It's not much..."
Princess Isabella then took a step back as she turned and flew away from the battle platform. She didn't head towards Davis but straight away left towards the residence they stayed in the southeast region.
Royal Protector Aleron, Royal Protector Freed and Crown Prince Hadre just stared at her back silhouette in a daze before they came out of their reverie. They can only shake their heads to the fact that they missed the opportunity to get acquainted with each other.
They felt like they didn't have the right, power or authority to stop her from leaving.
Royal Protector Aleron wryly cast a glance at Crown Prince Hadre, telling him to announce the winner of the tournament.
Crown Prince Hadre sighed before he announced that Miss Isabella is the new Conferred Queen!
Cheers erupted from the crowd while a few others started to leave, wanting to catch a glimpse of the Conferred Queen.
"Let's go." In the spectator seats, Davis stood up and lifted up Evelynn by holding her hand. They then left towards the exit along with the other people who were leaving.
As they walked through the exit, they heard a commotion brewing outside the tournament venue.
"A person has fainted over here!"
"Let me check!"
"This... This person has been poisoned to death!"
"What!?"
Numerous shouts echoed in the commotion, attracting the attention of numerous people.
The guards who were posted to the entrance and the sides of the walls all rushed towards the commotion and moved all the people away from the crime site.
Many people didn't want to get into trouble so they started to hurry their pace while glancing at the person who had died.
When Davis walked the place in casual steps, Evelynn curiously saw who had died and her eyes widened in shock before she quickly cast her gaze away.
After a few moments, she turned to look at Davis in a scrutinizing manner.
Davis turned to look back at her and smiled as he sent her a soul transmission, "Nobody gets to live after insulting you like that."
Evelynn's heart pounded in a complex tone. She wasn't sure if she felt ecstatic, heartened or fear.
Maybe, it was all.
However, her lips unknowingly curved into a smile.
The man who died was none other than one of the three men who had harassed and insulted her.
Davis didn't even cast a glance at the corpse. The only reason he decided to kill this person now out of the three was that this man was still here while the other two were nowhere to be seen.
He used Fallen Heaven to kill him with a random method but didn't make it look natural or suspicious. He had just made his suicide with one of the treasures inside the dead man's spatial ring and that merely happened to be poison.
Davis definitely didn't think that the now-dead person would be previously walking around with poison.
He held her hand with a fine grip and walked. He wanted Evelynn to witness this scene be reassured that he will not just let this matter be brushed off like it was a common matter.
Indeed, women were harassed on a daily basis by men like them and this became such a common occurrence leading to the indifferent eyes of the people in the spectator seats. Their indifferent eyes told him that 'This is reality, get over it.'...
However, he disliked such people and their established views.
Just because it's a part of reality doesn't mean it can't be stopped!
What angered him the most was that even the guards didn't bother to check up on them even though they had witnessed that scene.
But Davis understood their thought process to a level.
In the eyes of the guards, they were probably nothing other than commoners, hence, they became disinclined to help and besides, other than insults, the matter didn't escalate into a battle, so they saw no need to investigate this matter either.
Davis knew that if it had been a woman from a rather well-known background, the guards would be tripping their legs to uphold justice for her.
Women who had backing from their families were relatively well off compared to the women who had nothing to rely on and not all women who had backing were protected. Just like men, only after they have proved themselves useful in cultivation will they be able to receive the protection of their family.
One of the reasons lies in the fact that a family doesn't have many resources to improve all its members.
Sometimes, even if the women had good results on cultivation, their families wouldn't be able to save them due to their own powerlessness.
Katrine Blackwell was one such example who had been abandoned by her family for the sake of not offending the Arc Song Mercenaries's which was a higher grade power than the Blackwell Family.
Davis and Evelynn walked away from the premises of the Conferred King Tournament.
Davis slightly narrowed his eyes, trying to find the other two.
At that time, Evelynn had stopped him from making a move on the three of them but it will not completely stop him from getting revenge.
As for the other two who had left already, Davis's lips curled into an evil smile, 'Since they want to obtain a woman like this, then let them die because of a woman!'
