Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 913 End of the Grand Banque

Chapter 913 End of the Grand Banque

Davis kept feeling a bit complicated.
He felt like he could not make a decision after hearing all this from Ancestor Dian Alstreim. The other party was not openly hostile or even antagonistic, to say the least. Heck, it seemed that they were being welcomed with open arms as long as they could forgive everything.
But how could he be naive enough to believe that everything would go their way after they forgave and joined the Alstreim Family? Where is the proof that the enemies would not try to kill them out of fear of repercussions?
In the end, it was his mother's revenge, after all, not his own revenge. If he went and slaughtered those people responsible, who would undoubtedly object to his killing and have others support them, resulting in many more being killed, would his mother be happy with the end result?
He felt that the moment he took action, it would end in a bloodbath with him walking on a mountain of corpses at the top, but would his mother would still be happy?
He suddenly remembered Tina Roxley for some reason. She was a real-life example whom he could use to compare.
Was she happy with killing her deviant father, her family member, who seemed to be intent on violating her? Perhaps she was happy, but he couldn't possibly know what she truly felt inside.
Perhaps she longed for a true father who looked after her, no?
Ancestor Dian Alstreim abruptly asked, "Do you agree to become the Young Master of the family?"
Davis closed his eyes before he opened after making a decision, "What I do in this family ultimately rests within the decision of my mother. So if you don't want a bloodbath to take place, make sure you please my mother to her heart's content."
"However, if you dare try to do anything harmful to our group..."
Davis just shook his head. He felt that his intent would've crossed across.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows in displeasure, feeling that he was really taken for a crap. He felt that he shouldn't have bowed to this brat. However, feeling that he had to do this for the family, he didn't say anything and just nodded his head with a haughty expression on his face that didn't help to relieve the current tension one bit.
"Whether I step in or not to confront you, it also depends whether if your group is purposefully creating trouble or not."
Davis felt that it was acceptable. Even though Ancestor Dian Alstreim bowed his head, it might be just to prove that he isn't a hypocrite who went back on his words. It didn't mean that he gave up his pride to start being a lapdog for him. A talent was just a means to measure potential. He had to grow before people could start actually being a lapdog for him.
However, some people would die rather than become a lapdog, but Davis also felt that becoming a lapdog depends on the person.
"Fine, let's go." Davis started to walk out of the hall by himself.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim watched Davis's back before he suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Davis, walking in front of him.
Davis didn't even put up his guard as he continued to walk behind him. He didn't bother with who was the first or the last either, unlike a certain someone who seemed to have their pride hurt just a moment ago.
He didn't know that Ancestor Dian Alstreim was just taking the lead to avoid and deactivate traps that have been built here. After all, not anyone can stumble into this sacred place and say, 'Hey, I accidentally stepped into this place' before managing to leave this place alive. If anything, they would get skewered and pierced into numerous holes and sliced into chunks by a killing formation before they can even open their mouths.

Numerous characters started to disperse from the Grand Welcoming Hall, and the Elders and Grand Elders went about their way to do their own job as they walked down the thousands of steps down the mountain while some flew away like a white flaming comet.
Princess Isabella and the others exited after a brief moment of talk with the Grand Elders.
"I believe that Conferred Queen will be staying within this city for a while, so if fate allows, I hope we would meet again." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim chuckled.
"Perhaps..." Princess Isabella simply smiled back.
Nora Alstreim, who was beside Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, possessed a blank expression on her face. It was unknown what she was thinking, but her face abruptly became animated as she looked at Logan and bellowed, "Next time, I won't lose!"
Her cheeks came to possess a crimson hue that made her seem mesmerizing, revealing her charm that was filled with allure. She turned back and left, flying towards the distance.
Logan blinked and became stunned as he saw her visage, while Claire inwardly sneered, taking joy because she felt that Nora Alstreim was humiliated.
"Hahaha! Youngsters are like that. I hope Conferred Queen won't take offense at my granddaughter's immature actions." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim laughed.
"Of course..." Princess Isabella's expression became dreamy as she curled her flowing purple hair by her ear, "Make sure you treat her better..."
Even after the banquet, she was still continuing to act her part, even experiencing a bit of fun in it.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim forcefully nodded his head, increasingly finding the Conferred Queen to his liking, "Yes! She is our gem, the Alstreim Family's gem."
He then shot a look towards Logan, feeling complicated.
He had already learned what had happened from Nora Alstreim and understood that it was nothing but a misunderstanding that emerged from the smokescreen, so he was no longer feeling like holding a grudge anymore. Even though Logan did cause harm to Nora Alstreim, he did feel a bit of gratitude towards Logan for ultimately saving Nora Alstreim.
His initial hateful reaction was something natural. It was in his heart to care about his granddaughter, and he couldn't do anything about it.
But, Nora Alstreim left out certain information from her explanation. She didn't explain how she was saved. She did not explain how her waist was captured by both hands, embraced by his arms, her bosoms pressed against his chest, their faces close as if they were going to share a kiss at the heat of the moment.
If Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim even heard a bit of this episode, it was unknown what he would do to Logan.
After a bit of standing conversation and polite refusals, Princess Isabella accepted Grand Elder Krax Alstreim's invitation to accommodate them. Grand Elder Krax Alstreim showed Conferred Queen's group the way while also taking Daniuis Alstreim along with them.
They all traveled in a group before they arrived at the guest palaces.
There were a number of glorified floating palaces in this particular area, with each one of them furnished by a magnificent color that shined upon being reflected by the sunlight.
In the air above them were two figures floating above the palaces.
"Are you sure that you don't want to talk with my mother now?" Davis asked.
"Mhm." Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head, "You can make yourselves at home first."
