682 Already Bough

But even then, a voice of dissatisfaction resounded.

"Senior is taking this too far! We subdued the expert and we still haven't known why the Second Prince had chosen to self-destruct. The way I see it, it is clear that you're hiding something and the Second Prince is a martyr..."

Davis turned to look at a lean man who seemed to be a Royal Protector when judged by his undulations and royal clothes.

"You are?" He asked with a languid voice.

"Kalamaz Ethren..." The Royal Protector with a beard proudly spoke.

"Royal Protector Kalamaz! What are you doing? Quickly apologize!" 

Surprisingly, Emperor Kaiser Ethren seemed to take the senior's side as he berated his own Empire's Royal Protector.

"Hmph! Apologize my foot! It isn't as if I'm stating all this without basis! Even the Grand Elder of the Thousand Pill Palace had a tough time placing a slave seal without making Algos Yantra's soul dissipate yet this senior who is obviously of equal strength to the Grand Elder easily subdued Algos Yantra?"

"Besides, this senior keeps others from interrogating Algos Yantra and only interrogates by himself!"

"I would be reduced to a frog in a well if I believe in this bullshit!"

Abrupt silence suddenly descended on the area as everyone looked at Kalamaz Ethren as if they were looking at a dead man but even then, the Royal Protector continued to speak.

"The point is, I'm trying to say that this Algos Yantra and this senior is trying to frame the Flowing Mist Sect so that they could get the Alstreim Family to clash against the Flowing Mist Sect!"

"Two hegemons battling each other!? What kind of grand waves would it send across the Fifty-Two Territories!? The number of lives that will be lost would number in the billions!!!"

Kalamaz Ethren seemed to pour his worries along with a serious allegation against the Conferred Queen's protector. 

This almost cast the entire attention of the people present to Davis's carefree figure.

Indeed, even this senior's origins were dubious. What if the Conferred Queen was fake and this person truly wanted to drag the Alstreim Family and the Flowing Mist Sect into a Territorial Battle?

Havle Alstreim narrowed his eyes at Davis. He couldn't also help but doubt this point.

However, Davis just smiled behind the mask. His chuckle echoed the surroundings before he spoke, "Do you doubt that I'm from a mysterious power that seeks to make the Alstreim Family and the Flowing Mist Sect into a sea of blood? However, this relies on the basis that I have not made Algos Yantra my slave but instead we're acting in tandem to frame the Flowing Mist Sect... Correct?"

Kalamaz Ethren became taken aback as he couldn't help but answer, "Yes..."

The other party's analysis had perfectly conveyed his intent that he almost became speechless.

"And the reasoning behind this is that you doubt my prowess in Soul Forging Cultivation and techniques over slave seals?

"Yes!" Kalamaz Ethren replied with a harrumph.

"Oh~ Then why don't you try taking on my slave seal technique?"

"Hmph! You are just a Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivator! Even if your slave seal technique reached my soul which isn't clearly up to par, I can still dissolve the slave seal with my essence energy before it can even make me a slave!"

"Big talk... But do you have the ability to back it up?" Davis mockingly laughed.

Kalamaz Ethren clenched his fists in anger, his expression becoming near pale. In truth, he was also scared but he had no choice to do so!

"Hmph! Why should I be Senior's target? So Senior can silence me with some strange technique!?"

Davis lifted up his hand and shook his finger, "A man who dares to speak up should also know that he would bear the consequences, and since you dared to make baseless allegations against me and my Young Mistress..."

He pointed his finger at Kalamaz Ethren as his voice possessed a cold intent, "I'll make you my slave!"

Instantly, a streak of light shot towards Kalamaz Ethren accurately pinpointed to his glabella. It was so abrupt that Kalamaz Ethren was only about to react with a trembling mumble before erecting his essence energy as a defense.

But by then, the slave seal had already pierced his glabella and entered his Soul Sea!

Kalamaz Ethren became aghast!

But the next second, he noticed that the slave seal had considerably started to disintegrate when met with his essence energy at the Low-Level Law Sea Stage!

Just when his face almost produced a smile wanting to mock the expert, his eyes became dull as he lost all sense of will.

Davis lowered his hand as everyone's gaze was fixed on Kalamaz Ethren. Witnessing that Kalamaz Ethren did not move or give a sign of not being enslaved, everyone became shocked as they let out a frightful gasp.

"!!!"

Emperor Kaiser Ethren's eyes were wide as he cast a look towards the ground, no longer thinking of even going against the Conferred Queen's protector.

Clearly, he perceived that their lowly Empire cannot hope to offend this great individual who seems to have become a mere protector to a woman.

This meant that the Conferred Queen was undoubtedly from a top tier background!

Havle Alstreim also increasingly felt that the Conferred Queen is from the Golden Dragon Valley Territory's, Zlatan Family! However, he didn't dare to try to confirm this as he could see the prowess of this great protector.

He obviously didn't want to become a victim, hence, he shut his mouth.

"You! What have you done!?" Another Royal Protector couldn't help but shout as he looked aggrieved.

Davis couldn't help but almost laugh. He knew that he was clearly bullying these people with Fallen Heaven, just like how he made Algos Yantra a slave... but he did it with his own convictions.

He had a hunch that...

"Who are all the Royal Protectors from the Ethren Empire that you have successfully bought or brought to your side?" His question abruptly echoed.

"Dian Ethren, Ramez Ethren, Kalamaz Ethren, and Olyver Ethren..." 

A dull reply resounded.... but this reply sent tumultuous waves within the area!

*Whoosh!~*

The Royal Protector who looked aggrieved abruptly shot towards the distance the moment Algos Yantra's words could even end. His back looked as if he had lost all hope as he didn't even try to bicker.

*Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~*

As if responding to his escape the next minute second, the other two Royal Protectors who were named also shot towards the distance, trying to escape!

"You!" Havle Alstreim's head almost exploded as he looked at these traitorous bastards. He angrily yelled, "Capture or kill th..."

However, he looked at them abruptly stop.

Davis smiled as he was even faster than them. He had already sent a few more slave seals towards the escaping Royal Protectors for a show as he heard them be named.

With his Death God Eyes, he had already seen the names of the entire Ethren Family members and knew their name at the back of his hand, especially the truly strong ones like the Royal Protectors.

He was prepared to kill them anytime if he wanted to!

The three of them stopped and possessed a vacant look as they all turned lifeless.

"Hehe..." Davis chuckled, "Kaiser Ethren, I didn't think that your Empire would be deeply infiltrated that even protectors of the Ethren Empire who have sworn allegiance to the Alstreim Family in territorial diplomacy, to backstab them."

Havle Alstreim looked deeply offended. He stared at Emperor Kaiser Ethren as if he were going to try to kill him as Essence Gathering Cultivation base flared!

"No... I... I don't know anything!!" Emperor Kaiser Ethren's eyes trembled in fear. He looked at the slave as if he found his savior, "You can even ask that Algos Yantra over there!"

Davis chuckled as he spoke in a mocking voice, "Is our friend here, Emperor Kaiser Ethren a part of your group?"

"... No..." Came the reply that made Emperor Kaiser Ethren deeply release a sigh of relief.

When he came back to himself, he noticed that he was covered in sweat!
