nChapter 69
n
"Then I will take my leave everyone!
" Davis clasped his hands as he bowed perfunctorily . The pressure he was facing was offset by the two emperors who shielded him from Emperor Tritor .
n
"Hmph, thinking of running right after you picked a fight with me? Coward!
" Emperor Tritor wasn't ready to take this lying down .
n
"I wonder who was it that honestly got scared and turned tail after blatantly coming to destroy our Empire?
" Davis asked as he questioned mockingly .
n
"You!
" Just when Emperor Tritor was going to make a move . A majestic aura spread as it surrounded the arena .
n
"Emperor Tritor, are you not going to show me some face? I've already said to stop, and you're still not stopping?
" Emperor Ruth said as he released his majestic aura . He was dressed in golden imperial robes which had flood dragon patterns .
n
"Hmph!
" Emperor Tritor said nothing as he sat down, he felt like torturing Davis for what he had done .
nOne thing he couldn't understand was why Emperor Ruth would help the little kid .
n
"Let's go,
" Davis said as he left the arena with Ellia .
nA lone girl with fiery red robes sat in exactly 6m away from Davis . Her face was covered by a veil but her eyes were fiery hot as she blinked, Her long hair was blazing red as she tied it up in a ponytail, the left half of her face was covered by bangs as she blew it upwards with her mouth . From the moment she saw him, she was analyzing him with scrutinizing eyes .
n'What guts! Doesn't he understand that he will get killed silently somewhere down the road?
"
nSome youths were looking at her weirdly . She felt as if their looks were asking, 'Is that kid your future husband?'
n
"What are you looking at? Scram!
" Shirley shouted as she felt embarrassed by Davis . The other youths hurriedly turned their heads as they were somewhat afraid of her .
n
"Alright lads, you should learn from him . Look at his disposition, even daring go toe to toe with an emperor . A person of such calibre said that he is going to broaden his horizons . What are you all doing? Go participate in the preliminaries!
" Emperor Ashton sent a Soul Transmission to all who came with him to participate in the tournament .
n
"Ehh . . . that's a drag
"
n
"No way, we are not going!
"
n
"It will be a massacre if we go!
"
n
"Those plebians won't even be able to stand before us! Hmph!
"
nThe replies he got almost burst his head .
n'These kids!' He thought as he sighed .
nShifting his Soul Transmission to a lone girl who wore fiery red robes, he said,
"Shirley, what do you think of him?
"
n
"What broaden his horizons? Won't he get killed before even he reaches his adulthood!?
" Shirley Ashton said as she fumed .
n
"Emperor Loret was with him, but Prince's Davis confidence doesn't clearly come from him . . .
" Emperor Ashton said as his face changed . He thought of a certain possibility but didn't dare to make sure of it .
n
"Isn't he a little too overbearing for his age?
" She asked in confusion .
n
"I think he has the power to back it up, although I'm not sure of it . . .
"
n
"Then we will see it when the competition ends!
" Shirley said as she looked forward to it . She was confident that she will get the first place during this Grand Sea Continent Meet .
nHer temper is fiery when she speaks but when she contemplates, her personality changes to a calm disposition .
nYou could say that she just couldn't control her mouth, but could control her thoughts to a certain degree .
nAfter this, the emperors chatted as they spent their time leisurely .
nThe young elites exchanged some pleasantries and then went back to being silent as if it were none of their business . But there were some youths who actively went around greeting and making acquaintances with everyone .
nThis arena was full of people with Sky Grade powers on the north side . Even various Sect Masters, Organisation Heads were present but they chose not to interfere with the emperors . Instead, they either talked or argued with the people as same as them .
n. . .
nA silhouette was running to the east of the Island in a relaxed manner, albeit that silhouette was extremely fast .
n
"Davis! Wait for me!
" A girlish silhouette, which was frantically running with all it got, shouted atop of its lungs .
nHearing that, the silhouette, who was Davis, slowed down and maintained a pace which matched Ellia .
n
"Why do you run so fast! Don't leave me behind!
"
n
"Haha, sorry . This place is so fun to run freely, I couldn't help but loosen my constraints .
"
nThese two were currently going through a forest . It was greenish with its calm and peaceful scenery which was filled with life .
n
"What if something happens? Then I won't be able to report to the Emperor . Don't go running without me!
" Ellia said as she tried to berate him .
nDavis who was running in front of her, turned his body towards her as he kept moving behind,
"Yes, my queen!
" He said as he bowed with one hand on his chest .
nEllia who heard that was stunned as her face blushed .
nHe pretended to not notice her blush and turned front . He felt good to bully her but didn't know that he was acting shamelessly, as a result, which only made Ellia like him even more and more .
nAfter a moment passed, she calmed herself down and asked Davis as she was curious about that matter .
n
"Why didn't you let me fight that person . Even though I was kinda scared, I was sure that with my cultivation level that I could've taken him down .
"
n
"You could've taken him down but the consequences would have been different as that Emperor Tritor would've straight away killed you without giving any reason, as your status isn't high . So I had no choice but to make a move as he can't kill me that easily .
"
nHearing that, her face went pale but she quickly calmed down as she shouted at him .
n
"I swear that I'll get reliable like you . . . So please just help me grow stronger Davis!
"
nDavis smiled and nodded at her . This was the first time she asked anything of herself to him .
