Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 329 Those Spatial Rings

As he entered the Throne Hall, Davis nodded his head to whoever went on their knees to greet him. He knew that they were likely giving respect for his strength and status, so he didn't bother to stop them. It became a normal sight for him.
He then lastly nodded his head to Hendrickson who was beside Logan before bowing slightly to the Emperor as a form of etiquette.
"Father, what's going on?"
Logan looked at him and paused for a moment before he sighed, "The resources from the spatial rings are almost exhausted..."
"Exhausted?" Davis thought for a moment before responding, "Father, I don't know the contents of the spatial ring."
Logan nodded his head as he realized, "Ah right, I forgot..."
"From the spatial rings we obtained, when we removed the seal from it, there were about 30,000 Spirit Stones in it."
"Now there's only about hundred left..." Logan chuckled awkwardly.
"Only a hundred left? It's only been a few years... " Davis was gobsmacked.
Did they manage to spend almost all of it? There were 30,000 of them!
"What's the expenditure then?" Davis asked.
"Urm... Your mother is the one who distributes the spirit stones, not me..." Logan awkwardly laughed again before saying, "But she gives me an account of it."
"Of the 30,000 Spirit Stones, oh, she called it Low-Level..." He coughed, "Anyway, as I was saying, of the 30,000 Spirit Stones, Claire and I took 5,000 each for our cultivation. Then she spent 15,000 on increasing experts who belong to us to the Fourth and Third Stage, and only a few managed to reach Fourth Stage while most of them are more or less at the Third Stage."
"As for the remaining 5,000, it was slowly spent on various expenditures..."
"So only about a hundred remains now?" Davis asked with an amused expression on his face.
Logan answered with a straight face, "Yes..."
While Logan looked at Davis's reaction, the latter looked as if he was pondering on something.
"Oh, by the way, it was only thanks to Shirley that we obtained these spatial rings." Logan suddenly uttered.
"Mhm, I've heard..." Davis brushed it off and continued to ponder.
'You've heard it? That's it? No reaction?' Meanwhile, Logan was utterly confused.
If he were Davis, he felt that he would've been probably moved by her gesture. It's not as if he didn't realize why Shirley did such a thing, it was obviously for his son, Davis.
But he didn't understand that to Davis, it was only a matter of perspective.
To Davis who had many Low-Level Spirit Stones, the favor she had shown didn't seem to be much in his view.
At the most, he felt that he could repay her by giving double the spirit stones.
As for the matter of taking care of Clara, he felt like he owed her one. It isn't like he didn't know how dangerous it could be for a princess of an empire to go out without any protection.
Numerous men would gladly give their lives away if they could sleep with a princess, not caring whether if she was little or not.
That's how much twisted this world could get, even if the survival of the fittest concept didn't exist.
Then what about Shirley clearing a King Grade Trial? He didn't give a shit about it.
Even if she cleared the Immortal Grade Trial, so what? Would that change his mind? Would that be comparable to his love for Evelynn?
The answer would obviously be no.
However, the thing he was contemplating was not about Shirley, but about the spirit stones. He was ruminating how much spirit stones should he share with his family.
"Father, call mother," Davis said.
Logan turned confused but still called her over.
A few minutes later, Claire arrived as she sat beside Logan.
Davis rolled his eyes.
Seeing that she didn't mention anything about yesterday, he didn't dare to touch on it either.
"Mom, is it true that almost all the spirit stones were spent?"
"Yes..." Claire nodded her head, a worried look emerged on her face.
She had already done all that she could for the Empire, now there is almost nothing left. This has been weighing down on her mind for quite a while now.
"What about the remaining 5,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones that were left for miscellaneous expenditures?"
Claire furrowed her brows, "Davis, are you suspecting me of embezzling?"
"Mother, you misunderstood, I don't even care if you took all the resources. I just wanted to know what you did with it..." Davis replied as he shook his head.
Claire had an apologetic expression written all over her face, "I'm truly sorry, then. It's just your father had also back then been bothering me asking what I did with the spirit stones, so I couldn't but help but get angry..."
Davis nodded, not at all offended, "It's fine..."
But then Claire suddenly said, "Other than that, I was just afraid that you would ask for those spirit stones back, so I was acting shameless just now. Please forgive me..."
Davis got angry, "What are you saying? We are all family! So what if it is my spirit stones? It belongs to you the same!"
"... Davis." Claire felt moved.
She was especially afraid after yesterday's event, feeling that her son had become estranged after the long journey. It had made her even more afraid when she realized that he also wasin possession of his previous life's memories.
That's why she also didn't dare and willing to bring his yesterday's transgressions into the discussion, afraid that he would further estrange himself from them.
But it now seemed like that it wasn't the case, he was still the same old Davis.
Logan glanced at both of them as he thought, 'Hey, what about me? Does it belong to me too?'
Fortunately, Davis caught his worried expression and chuckled inwardly before saying, "It belongs to you also, father..."
Logan turned embarrassed as he scratched his head. He then signaled all his subjects to leave, including Hendrickson and Randal.
