“Let it stay like this for a year. I’ll preserve Glyn’s corpse and hand it over once Nina has birthed the child.” Davis added.
In truth, he was going to store Glyn’s corpse in a rather big container which was used to preserve a lot of ingredients he brought from the Grand Sea Continent. Fortunately, he had brought some spares to store extra ingredients in his spatial ring.
Daniuis’s eyes flashed as he nodded his head, “You’ve thought of them in your own way, good!”
He knew the event that happened in Farz Mountains since he heard it from his children on who saved Glyn and Nina at that time, so he wasn’t surprised that Davis cared about them. He didn’t doubt him one bit and casually got back to the topic of warning Claire to not go back to the Alstreim Family.
He explained to the best of his ability however, Claire remained adamant about her thoughts and argued.
At least, until he finally captured a point which almost convinced her.
“… Even if all that happened and you were accepted into the family, is it worth it? You know how our… your Alstreim Family is… They will stoop to any level and might even cast a slave seal on your son on the grounds that he holds the key to the Immortal Inheritance and they would even reason that he should benefit the entire family.”
Claire was suddenly startled. Her body experienced a jolt as she processed the information in her mind.
Yes, even if the Alstreim Family accepted her into the family while naming Davis the Young Master of the Alstreim Family, wouldn’t they still demand the entire Grand Sea Continent to be theirs, much less the Immortal Inheritances?
The situation would change and they would be forced to handover the independent spatial gateway to the Grand Sea Continent. Blood and rivers of tears would flow in the Grand Sea Continent if that were to happen.
However, the opposite could be true too although it seemed less likely to occur.
Nevertheless, if the Alstreim Family really accepted her entire family into the family but schemed against behind their backs, wouldn’t it be a repeat of the same tragedy that happened back then?
Claire’s heart tightened from the thought that she was walking straight towards her impending disaster.
Why did she even think of returning to a family like this instead of just taking her father away?
Claire couldn’t help but ponder over this question.
Was it for greed? Was it for pride? Was it for honor? Was it for obtaining justice for her father?
“Sigh, if you still want to bring justice to my brother; your father, at the cost of your new family, then I will no longer talk to you about this anymore.” Daniuis could only sigh as he felt his niece’s experience out in the world was quite lacking.
He turned to look at Davis and inwardly nodded at how he moved around the world, always acting cautious, even while he stayed in the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.
At the time Davis had saved them at the Loseris Family’s Royal Palace, he could’ve revealed that he was the Davis from Cloud Spring Mercenaries they knew the moment he had helped them take down Jawan, but he only revealed it after learning that Daniuis was his grand uncle.
Now, that was a level of cautiousness he appreciated when facing the unknown world!
Right now, he was assured that he had a reliable ally like Davis, especially when he considered Davis was his niece’s son.
Instead of believing the Davis of Cloud Spring Mercenaries, he would rather believe his niece’s son. He could even give the other party the benefit of doubt when receiving information.
However what about the others who came with the group other than Claire’s husband.
His gaze fell on a womanly figure who was still masked, “You are?”
Evelynn promptly removed her mask and revealed her identity of being Davis’s wife.
Daniuis blinked but then nodded, however, he was inwardly shocked. He had considered that his niece’s son would choose a woman with rather high cultivation, but it didn’t seem like it was the case as he couldn’t feel strong undulations from Evelynn.
Then who was that woman who was so strong that she could pulverize Jawan into meat paste?
He couldn’t help but ask.
“Oh, that’s Isabella, someone who cleared the same Immortal Inheritance as Davis and currently tagging along with us for safety, concealment, and knowledge.” Claire replied and yawned, “All this talk has tired me…”
Daniuis nodded his head at her answer but had his suspicions over her answers.
An Immortal Inheritance for the soul?
An Immortal Inheritance for the body?
It didn’t make sense unless there was two Immortal Inheritance but she told him that they completed the same Immortal Inheritance.
Nevertheless, no wonder she was so powerful!
‘Davis and Isabella… Two Powerful Inheritors who had entered the Fifty-Two Territories… Is this the start of a new era?’
“I’ll be leaving then, make yourselves at home, although there aren’t many amenities here…” Daniuis didn’t ponder on it anymore and wryly laughed before leaving.
He looked like an awkward uncle who made some silly mistakes in his life, at least that was how Davis felt.
======
Two days passed.
During this time, nothing of importance happened, but the Tripartite Alliance outside had issued a territory-wide search warrant for those raven-shaped golden masked figures along with framing the Cloud Spring Mercenaries’ Leader Daniuis of grouping up with them.
Daniuis once again visited Davis and the others in their cave.
He explained the matter about being searched by the Tripartite Alliance for revenge.
Davis wasn’t one bit astonished but the others were, and they worriedly asked the former if there would be any repercussions.
Davis simply answered, “Unless an Eighth Stage Expert appears, I think you can all rest assured.”
Once Daniuis heard that he inwardly relaxed. He didn’t know what his niece’s son possessed but the latter’s words were always uttered with confidence, so much that it influenced him as well.
Nevertheless, he still could help but get worried for his family. It would be just a matter of time before this place gets found out.
Whether he would be betrayed by one of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries’ members or get caught in one of the supply runs, it would just amount to a matter of time.
When that happens, he still had some optimal locations in his mind to establish a hideout.
Daniuis couldn’t help but sigh, however, Claire suddenly spoke.
“I thought of what you said, uncle.”
Daniuis lifted up his chin, exhibiting that his attention has been grabbed.
Claire turned to look at her husband and her son.
In these two days, these two didn’t provide her any input after hearing Daniuis’s speech but left her to make her own decision.
Their expressions and intentions were clear as it told her that no matter what decision she made, they would follow her even if it were the depth of a hopeless abyss.
The two of them smiled when Claire looked at them and she too smiled back.
She then turned to face Daniuis before uttering these words, “I decided to move to the Alstreim Family Territory.”
Daniuis inwardly sighed.
So it has come to this… He couldn’t help but turn disappointed.
