Divine Emperor of Death 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. Follow current on novelenglish.net

"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...""Uh-Yes!" Xiao Meili instantly responded to Alchemist Davis's voice."There you have it. Your Verdant Alstreim Treasure House owner told me that he'd gift all other Poison Essences, and as for the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn, I will pay with Peak-Level Spirit Stones."He turned to look at her, "I'll trust you'll deliver them to the Purple Guest Palace within two days?"Xiao Melli panicked as she didn't know that to do. It was true that Grand Elder said it before but after this, would the Grand Elder's stance still be the same!?She looked at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and saw him smilingly nod his head."Yes! Xiao Melli will deliver the Spirit Attribute Sources to the Purple Guest Palace even if I have to exchange it with my life!""Very good!" Davis waved his hand, and a few dozen stones came out floating in the air.Fifty colorless stones glowed with transparency, sending a bit of their rich and unadulterated energy brushing past the figures of Davis and the others. They were all head-sized stones that possessed immense and pure yet unrefined heaven and earth energy within them.Xiao Melli received it all with care and kept it within a new spatial ring that she always wore for new transactions. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel ecstatic! Follow current on novel-online.com

Many came to view these Spirit Attribute Sources with her receiving, but none of them bought it, and in all these years, she never had the chance to involve herself in transactions that were worth High-Level Spirit Stones because her seniors would arbitrarily take over or forcefully take the potentially paying patrons away from her.She could do nothing about it since the others were Alstreims.Fortunately, today was a day that most of the seniors weren't present for a particular reason, and now, she skipped past High-Level Spirit Stones and went straight to earning a Peak-Level Spirit Stone!Two percent of the total transaction value would belong to her, and that meant she truly earned a Peak-Level Spirit Stone, which is 1,000,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones in terms of energy and more than dozens of times the value!She became rich overnight!!!For once, Xiao Melli was glad that she was bullied out of the monthly meeting like always! Otherwise, she wouldn't even have had the chance to meet Alchemist Davis!She couldn't help but cast a secretive glance at him. Daring enough to treat Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim like he was nothing in front of him and dreamy enough to make her feel strange. Her heart stirred as she thought how Alchemist Davis never treated her with despise or discriminatory eyes. Instead, she recalled that she was even able to nearly admonish him in the matter of conversion.It made her look at him with a strange yet tender gaze.However, she instantly shook the thought away from her head. She knew that she just wasn't worthy of such a grand character.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'." Follow current on storynovel.net

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.
