Davis and the others all returned to the estate. On the empty streets, they gathered around each other.
"Hahahaha!"
They all looked at each other before the majority of them suddenly started to laugh!
However, Evelynn was no longer able to hold back and differently reacted when she saw them laugh without any care, "You dare to laugh!? Yo... You almost died if it werenât for Princess Isabella..."
"What do you mean... died?" Davis laughingly shook his head, "Killing a Supreme Soul Stage Cultivator isnât that easy. I can flee faster than those Martial Sage Cultivators can chase me..."
"B-But, you would lose your physical body in a direct clash!!" Evelynn screamed as her eyes became moist. Her lips quivered, and her shoulders trembled.
Davis became stunned before the other two, Princess Isabella and Natalya also stopped laughing.
Natalya thought that she was insensible for laughing at this time. Her experience was less, and she couldnât understand that it was almost over for Davisâs physical body at that time. Her low cultivation base didnât even allow her to witness what had happened, but looking at Princess Isabella kick Elder Towerfall around like a ball, she felt that the entire situation was to their advantage.
However, now, she didnât expect things were this worse!
Princess Isabella, on the other hand, had just laughed about what and all happened. Crossing life and death situations became a bit frequent, although not typical for her at this point, and this situation certainly couldnât be said to be a life and death situation because... she had the ability to protect!
Hence, she tried to convince Evelynn in a gentle manner.
"Evelynn, Davis believed in my strength and knew how to use it. I truly wouldnât let him come to harm-"
"But!" Evelynn yelled, "So many people died! My heart stopped at that time because I couldnât see Davis in all that rubble and smoke. If that woman, Arianna Woller, hadnât stopped me from leaving, I wouldâve come to Davis... Her action of stopping me made me come out of my impulsiveness, and I sensed Davis with the soul mark I placed on him, knowing that he was still alive...."
"I... I..." Evelynnâs lips trembled in fear.
Davis swiftly fazed out of existence and appeared beside Evelynn as he embraced her, "Donât worry, such a thing wouldnât happen."
He wasnât deeply worried about losing his physical body anymore because of the presence of life-like energy. Unlike other cultivators, he felt that he could remake his entire body if he wanted to as long as he possessed a tiny piece of flesh!
It was only a matter of time.
"Besides, why would I die when there are three beauties waiting for me?" Davis teased, trying to make her laugh.
Evelynnâs face was buried on Davisâs shoulders. She beat his chests with her fists for a few times and stopped, crying her heart out into his chest.
She wasnât blaming him, but at that point, in the smokescreen, she almost fell into despair that Davis had died. She became truly scared and almost became insane. If Arianna Woller didnât stop her, she wouldâve come to his side to die together with him as there was a chance of being blown apart by them remnant forces. No, at that point, she didnât care about her life anymore.
âHow is she even a poisonous woman?â Princess Isabella shook her head.
Evelynn was as fragile as a flower.
Her thoughts on Evelynn constantly changed. First, she thought that she was a freeloader and a low-key burden, then she had to admit she had the potential of a terrifying expert, but now, she could tell that she deeply cared about Davis. Maybe, Evelynnâs love for Davis was even deeper than her.
Princess Isabella sighed as she mused.
"I know..." Evelynn calmed down, she separated and looked away as she said, "My thoughts are a burden on you. As a cultivator, thereâs no way you would not come across so many life and death situations. I apologize, I said too much..."
"What are you saying? If you all donât worry for me, who will?" Davis sighed.
Evelynnâs lips trembled before she threw herself to Davis again. Even after facing all this, he still had the mindset to care about her cultivation. Perhaps, Davis didnât know how much that moved her.
Davis just patted her back and caressed, cuddling and consoling Evelynn. Natalya silently shed tears, and Princess Isabella turned away. Perhaps, they were moved by his statement, but activating his Heart Intent at this time, he inwardly sighed.
Truly, they were a handful bunch, but they were the bunch he loved and would give them his life for!
======
After some time, all four of them gathered in Loganâs residence.
After Davis broke the news, he became silent and mused about what Nadia told him earlier.
"I see, so weâre heading there this soon..." Claire said, but her expression said otherwise, and her eyes flashed with a shimmering flame. Her elegance was still there, but now, she looked more of the fiery type as her blonde hair flailed around with intensity.
She came back to herself and slightly bowed, "I apologize. I got ahead of myself..."
In front of her were her prided son and three daughters-in-law, and beside herself was Logan, who possessed a solemn air to his presence. It was as if he was another person, but a closer look ordained that the air around him just acted strangely.
"So if weâre going to the Alstreim Family, what would become of this estate?" Logan asked.
"Itâll stay, and the people here would move to another estate. Iâll ask Alexi Ethren a favor, and have these people secretly move to another estate somewhere in the second level rather than moving them to the third level. This way, it would not be conspicuous and Natalyaâs grandfather, Agis Stirlander is a trusted subordinate of Alexi Ethren, so Iâm sure that Emperor Alexi Ethren would take care of them nicely." Davis replied.
By the side, Natalya sighed. Her family was here as well, so she was worried about them. Hearing her husbandâs thoughts on this matter, she became assured.
Logan raised his thumb, "Brilliant!"
"With this, we can move out without worrying much. However, what about Claireâs uncle, Daniuis Alstreim?" He asked.
"Iâm going to have Granduncle Daniuis sit on this one-"
"No!" Claire interrupted, "I think my uncle should come with us. Not uncleâs family, but uncle alone..."
"In that case, wouldnât this place be suspected that Granduncle Daniuisâs family was here, making the Alstreim Familyâs trash search this place, and perhaps the whole city?" questioned Davis.
Claire seemed unfazed, as if she already considered it, "It isnât as if uncleâs going to literally come with us. Weâll have uncle crash the Alstreim Family and demand justice for the things the Tripartite Alliance did to him. With his Law Sea Stage Cultivation, other than the elders, no one can stop him. As the Conferred Queenâs party, weâll take the role of justice and empower him from the background."
Davisâs mouth went agape as he almost cursed, "Thatâs a truly brilliant plan!"
With this plan, this will also give them a reason to make trouble in the Alstreim Family. After all, they were going in as the esteemed Conferred Queenâs entourage, so it would be unsuitable for them to make problems just by revealing Claire or Daniuis. It had to be done cautiously and carefully.
Daniuis Alstreim would storm in alone, and that would make the Alstreim Family unable to find his whereabouts. This plan was completely suitable.
Davis had to admit. If Claire doesnât let her emotions control her, she truly will become a force to reckon with, and when combined with her smarts, she would truly be a scary woman.
