Chapter 685 True Expert?
Havle Alstreim became increasingly irritated as he continued to question Algos Yantra. He calmed himself down as far as he could and asked for Senior's patience and gained it.
Davis was merely interested so he gave Havle Alstreim the go-ahead. It wasn't like it surely harmed him anyway.
If the Alstreim Family took an arrow to their knees, then he would be happy. Perhaps, only his mother will feel complex, not knowing whether to laugh or cry since she also had her roots in the Alstreim Family.
They might have betrayed her but it was only a part of the members who have plotted against her and her father, not the entire family. However, since they had stood by and watched, Davis felt that they, the Alstreim Family, including all those Grand Elders and even the Ancestor had equal responsibility in this matter.
Although he was entirely aware that he was asking for the impossible since people at the level Grand Elder wouldn't interfere much, they had let his maternal grandfather, the newly emerged Young Master at that time to fall!
How could something like that happen? At least one of the Grand Elders should've stepped in to protect the Young Master! However, it didn't seem like they did it.
Nevertheless, since his maternal grandfather, a branch member without much backing had dared to become the Young Master and encroached upon numerous people's benefits, he was eventually forced to stop down.
Davis shook his head and turned his attention over to the investigation.
The questioning went on for over half an hour before Havle Alstreim completely understood whatever he needed to know and could get from Algos Yantra!
Havle Alstreim's eyes flickered with a sinister glint. He wanted nothing more than rip Algos Yantra to pieces but still had other uses for him since he needed to present him to the Alstreim Family.
However, for that, he needed Senior's permission but incase if he couldn't obtain...
In his hands was a stone that had a strange symbol faced to its front. It was none other than a type of Imagery Stone which not only records the image but also the sound. In other words, it had both the properties of the imagery stone and sound stone.
Havle Alstreim kept it in his spatial ring and turned to look at the senior with clasped hands.
"Senior, you have become our greatest benefactor by unveiling this plot by the Flowing Mist Sect!"
Davis just casually nodded his head.
"Do I have the honor to personally invite you to the Alstreim Family's territory!?"
Davis raised his hand, "Didn't I tell you before? I am only here for my Young Mistress's protection. As long as my Young Mistress adventures around the territories safely, I will not interfere with her actions nor will I drag her into struggles such as these..."
Havle Alstreim expressed a wry smile on his face as his lips curved. He had really started to admire this senior but even if he sincerely asked, the reply was still the same.
'Seriously... Such a strong expert is really humble... The world has much to learn from senior...' He couldn't help but sigh.
With a shake of his sleeves, a token plate appeared. He extended it with both his hands and bowed acutely, "Senior! You are our Alstreim Family's great benefactor! Please accept this token plate which will allow you to enter into the core region of our Alstreim Family!"
Davis became surprised but didn't reveal it outwardly. He closed his palm and lowered his hand, "The decision of your Grand Elders?"
"Yes~" Havle Alstreim replied and the next moment, he felt the gold token plate with the symbol of the Alstreim Family fly away from his grasp.
When he lifted up his head and cast his gaze, the golden token plate was already in senior's hands.
Davis looked at the golden token plate in his palm. Beside him was the Karma Thread connecting him and Havle Alstreim into a common white thread, tinged with blue, yellow, and the likes.
He cast his intentions to know the truth and asked, "There's no way this golden token plate is rigged with tracking ability, right?"
Havle Alstreim became startled and the next moment, he subconsciously answered as if it came directly from the bottom of his heart!
"Not at all! This golden token plate is one of the highest status plates that we, Head Envoys can give to people who arrive from the outer Territories! This golden token plate almost gives the same perks as one a Guest Elder would enjoy!"
Davis's chuckle echoed but it sounded as it being mocked to Havle Alstreim as he realized that he overreacted. He was not offended but felt like a junior in front of this senior as he awkwardly laughed.
"Senior, can I take this slave to the Alstreim Family?" Havle Alstreim asked with the flow.
"Since you don't need Algos Yantra anymore after the investigation, I thought of taking him as my slave as well but since I gained four extra slaves to serve my Young Mistress, I don't need him; someone who is from the Yantra Family of the Flowing Mist Sect."
"I guess I will hand him over to you since having him with me is attracting trouble. If it was not for my Young Mistress, I wouldn't have a problem fighting with their Grand Elders without breaking a sweat..." Davis harrumphed in a cold tone.
Inwardly, he was thinking of something else.
'Too bad... Both the spatial rings of Keith Ethren and Algos Yantra have been destroyed in the self-destruction of the former... Heh, even if I were given another chance, I'll do the same thing again and again...'
Davis did not weigh wealth over his family, otherwise, he would've chosen another way to do this. His highest priority was to get rid off the assailants who have been plotting against them.
Havle Alstreim secretly gulped on hearing senior's speech. Somehow, he didn't doubt those lofty and arrogant words. He shook his hands and corrected his posture once to bow before standing up, "Many thanks!"
"Hehe..." Davis chuckled and sent a Soul Transmission to Algos Yantra.
He then spoke, "Unfortunately, the slave seal technique I use is too powerful that it makes people almost completely lose their will... I'm sure you have seen this with your own eyes..."
"Yes, yes..."
"So other than questioning him, don't try to do something like removing the seal I placed or even investigate it. I'm warning you since this soul is on the verge of dissipation although he looks fine..."
Davis turned his back facing Havle Alstreim as he looked at the open skies, "My slave seal technique isn't just for looks, it's extremely dangerous..."
Havle Alstreim's eyes widened as he saw the projection of a powerhouse. He almost became entranced by the scene but he quickly pulled himself out of it as he shook his head. If this senior was a woman, he would have definitely suspected this person of using Charm Arts!
Davis left towards the entrance of the third level, followed by those four slaves.
In the distance, the Ethrens' viewed from the Emperor's Royal Palace. Watching the Senior leave with their four Royal Protectors whom they have talked, laughed, fought, schemed against left them feeling complex while lamenting that the Empire lost four pillars.
Even then, they couldn't take vengeance for it.
This left an extremely bad taste their mouths, leaving their throats itching to speak but none dared to utter a word as they all felt fear.
In front of a true expert, they came to deeply understand that they were meager as ants, except, they didn't know that the senior they revered wasn't a true expert but a fake expert who might get instakilled by a single wave of their hands!
