Chapter 1050 ...You“ll Slip One Way Or Another

"I only have the grant to sell these in my store for another ten thousand or so years due to the achievements of my ancestor. Therefore, I will only accept Peak-Level Spirit Stones if you’re buying the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn."

"If you want to confirm this history, you can go ahead and check..." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim additionally added.

"So, that’s why..." Davis felt that this explanation was understandable, acceptable, and also respectable.

Besides, the price was still affordable since he possessed a hundred and forty-two Peak-Level Spirit Stones with him, also looted from those four Grand Elders of the Ethren Empire. Paying for this would put a small dent in his current fortune, but he ascertained that this was a necessary expenditure.

"Then, can I take this act of gifting me that you want to bribe me into looking out for Nora Alstreim?"

"Haha! I like it that Alchemist Davis is quick on the uptake! No wonder our younger generation couldn’t hold a candle to your prowess!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim laughed.

"Well then... I’ll take you up on your offer."

"However," Davis abruptly grinned with a lewd gaze, "Don’t blame me if I go overboard in ’looking out’ for Nora Alstreim."

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s laughing expression became cold as he coldly chuckled. His gaze became a bit threatening even, "Young man, don’t think that just because you reached the Mature Soul Stage at the mere age of less than a hundred, you reign the world. If you only kept looking at the skies and forgot to watch your steps that are on the surface, you’ll slip one way or another."

"Oh? Do I hear it right? Are you threatening me?" Davis grinned even more.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim suddenly smiled, "Although, I don’t see how the Dragon Queen will let someone harm her subordinate."

"Heh! Nora Alstreim isn’t Young Mistress’s subordinate yet." Davis sneered.

"That’s just a matter of time."

Davis and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim stared at each other with wide eyes. Sparks flew as it was almost going to ignite the surroundings in flames.

Nadia’s fingers twitched, a hint of dark energy taking shape in a concealed manner.

"Xiao Meili..."

Davis turned around and left. However, he stopped before opening his mouth.

"That’s right... I always wanted to ask, but how long does your relationship with Zeno Alstreim go back."

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim became confused and frowned, "Why are you asking such a thing?"

"Oh, what? I had the opportunity to meet him and exchange a few words at the Alchemy Exchange. I felt that he is an extremely ’upright’ man that I couldn’t help but ’admire’."

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s expression broke out into a smile, "Zeno Alstreim is my loyal subordinate. The relationship we have goes back to the time when I became the Young Master of the Alstreim Family during my youth that was thousands of years ago. He’s been behind me, watching my back, slaying all my enemies from that time."

"He’s a person I think that I could never replace in this lifetime."

"I see. I’ve learned one of the ways in how to become a ’loyal’ subordinate to my Young Mistress." Davis’s voice became a bit strained.

"Is that so?" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim became perplexed.

Didn’t the rumors state that Alchemist Davis was instead trying to obtain the Dragon Queen?

"It’s just... I wonder what would happen if the loyal subordinate develops greedy feelings one day and decided to..." Davis turned his head to look at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, "... betray?"

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s breathing stopped for a moment.

"That’s right... I almost forgot. Here..." Davis lobbed an item behind.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s hand automatically moved to capture the pill. When he managed to identify it a second later, he was given a start!

"Is... Is this the Enlightenment Martial Surge Pill!? The pill that is capable of granting a success rate of more than seventy percent to enter the Martial Master Stage!?"

"Yes."

"But w-"

"Then I’ll take my leave. Let us meet again, and perhaps, it’ll be sooner than we both expect."

Davis didn’t say anything else and left along with Evelynn and Nadia, leaving Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim a bit stumped as to what had happened just now.
