Chapter 2679 The Youthful Inheritors

Great Ancestor Zenflame and Great Ancestor Rocksunder stared at Davis with frowns over their eyebrows. They definitely didn't think they were being rude or forceful here, so for Davis Alstreim to reject their terms, it could be said that they were disappointed, making them wonder if they did something wrong.

Looks like they would have to explain how important the Candidacy is to them that it can even be said that it is the reason for their existence if exaggerated. After all, they knew their destinies were more or less connected with that compet.i.tion of the highest order.

Davis paused for a moment, looking at them, revealing some true emotion for the first time. He guessed that he was unreasonable for still not wanting to compromise but still smiled.

"Why? Because if either one of my women wins the Candidacy, they will gift it to their respective immortal powers regardless of your two powers yapping for their aid. That's how they are, selfless and full of gratefulness for the inheritance they have been bestowed with."

"However, the way your two powers went about it, wanting to kill me to attain them, has completely infuriated them and put them in a bind, causing them to choose between me and the powers they should stay loyal to. Obviously, they chose me over glory and returned the grat.i.tude, causing them to be looked at like they were ungrateful. I don't mind what the world calls me, but for the world to call them names, I won't forgive anyone. But more than that, to have made them agonize on this decision, I would never forgive the Fire Phoenix Clan and the Earth Dragon Clan for it."

Davis's voice was bone-chilling cold at the end, but the Great Ancestor Zenflame and Great Ancestor Rocksunder turned to look at each other.

So this was a matter of love and care he had for his women.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, they couldn't help but smile as they felt that the other party was a brethren.

They turned to look at Davis, their smiles leaving their faces.

"I understand what we as a power have done to you and your two wives. We are apologetic over it."

"Indeed. What's done is done and cannot be taken away, but we can look forward together."

Great Ancestor Zenflame and Great Ancestor Rocksunder said, but it caused Davis to merely smile and shake his head.

"I also apologize. We decided that as long as the Fire Phoenix Clan and Earth Dragon Clan didn't corner us, we would partic.i.p.ate in the Candidacy and still help your powers, staying true to our words exchanged with the inheritance masters. However, there would be no relations in it and just a pure transactional value of returning the grat.i.tude."

Davis stood up, looking like he was going to leave, "However, since you people compromised as a form of sincerity, if you still want a share in the treasures, we could maybe do something about that."

"I don't want that." Great Ancestor Zenflame stood up, his expression solemn, "It is of no use since we would either ascend to the immortal world together or die trying."

"True. Instead, use that to improve our inheritors as much as you can. We don't have much time."

Their tone was a bit commanding and a bit pleading, causing Davis to blink.

Were they really not interested in the inheritance? Perhaps, they really weren't, considering they were once owners of inheritances themselves. However, would that be the same for their powers?

He managed to garner a glance and saw their expressions twitch.

'Looks like the bottom feeders still want it, though...'

However, he inwardly smiled. What could they do against their Great Ancestors? Without them, they would lose their reason to be here.

But still, he couldn't understand. For what reason did the two Great Ancestors have to listen to his voice? What would he do if he was in their position?

Davis couldn't help but wonder, thinking if there was a piece of a puzzle that he hadn't still found yet to know their true faces or if compromising was their true intention all along.

"Well, it seems like we lost an inheritor due to mishandling the situation. This couldn't be forced, and I'll leave it to fate to repair things. If at all you do want to join us, you are welcome to our power at any time."

"Unlike him, I'll still pester you every month by messaging talisman to join us, so don't take offense for that, thinking that I'm cornering you."

"Ahaha~ I'd be expecting the messages of one-sided love then."

Davis couldn't help but laugh at Great Ancestor Zenflame and Great Ancestor Rocksunder's words while they also returned the laughter. Although not from the beginning, halfway through, he felt that these people were vastly different from the arrogant fellows who interacted with him before, demanding that he leave Isabella and s.h.i.+rley and give them to their powers on a platter.

However, he also felt like he couldn't rely on his instincts on this one, feeling like he had to be diplomatic about it.

But at this moment, his expression couldn't help but twitch.

Behind him, the door opened, and thereafter stepped two beauties, one wearing a crimson robe and the other wearing a golden robe.

Even without looking back, Davis couldn't help but inwardly sigh. Looks like the cat was going to be out of the bag, but he also felt that it couldn't be helped as sooner or later, they were going to be found who they were right now.

Great Ancestor Zenflame and Great Ancestor Rocksunder's brows widened as they saw the two beauties walk in. The two of them hurriedly walked out of the table and cupped their hands to them.

"Fourth Inheritor Isabella Davis"

"Fourth Inheritor s.h.i.+rley Davis..."

Isabella and s.h.i.+rley came to a stop as they were stunned inwardly. What's going on? Why were they being addressed through their husband's name, which the Fire Phoenix Clan and Earth Dragon Clan would never admit?

Still, the two of them heard Great Ancestor Zenflame and Great Ancestor Rocksunder introducing themselves and introducing the second and third inheritors, causing them to lightly nod their heads.

Suddenly, Crystia, Hirona, and Sierra of the Earth Dragon Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan quickly moved toward Isabella and s.h.i.+rley.

"What's going on? Tell us the truth."

"Do you two really love him?"

"Although we don't have a problem, do you understand that as long as you two take part in the Candidacy, there could be a time when you might have to kill each other?"

Great Ancestor Zenflame and Great Ancestor Rocksunder couldn't help but wryly smile. As men with experience, they believed Davis's words as they found him similar, but women were women. They had to confirm the veracity of his words through the inheritors themselves.

Looking at Isabella and s.h.i.+rley being bombarded, Davis also wryly shook his head. However, he was astonished and prideful over Isabella and s.h.i.+rley's appearance, not over their physical appearances but their levelheadedness to appear in their soul bodies, which didn't really show or explicitly release their imperial auras of Emperor-Tier.

The cat was not out of the bag yet.

"No matter how many times we're asked, we would say the same thing."

Isabella said in a prideful tone, causing s.h.i.+rley to nod her head.

"True. We cultivate and die together with our husband. Anything else comes secondary, so if we were to run into each other during the Candidacy, one of us would give up, and as for who that one is, we have already decided."

"?"

Their declaration suddenly caused the hall to flare up with discussions and caused the other inheritors to become stunned.

In fact, Davis also became stunned. He hadn't heard of this yet. Were his Isabella and s.h.i.+rley just bulls.h.i.+tting?

"Who?"

Sierra narrowed her eyes at the two of them, intently watching their body language.

However, s.h.i.+rley and Isabella were as composed as ever, appearing elegant and magnificent to everyone's gaze. Their souls didn't reveal much, but their bodies still held a regal bearing that couldn't be easily replicated.

"Naturally, we wouldn't say it, lest we be taken advantage of." s.h.i.+rley grinned behind her veil.

Her words caused a few eyes to flicker while one of them snickered.

"Heh, things aren't so easy. What if giving up means dying?" Crystia asked with a rude tone while intently staring at Isabella.

"We'll still die for our families just like you people would give up your lives for the clan. Am I wrong?"

""

However, Isabella still answered that question in a melodious and graceful voice, causing Crystia to be stunned. Her brows narrowed, appearing to have complicated emotions over it.

"I'm sorry for a.s.suming you were ugh, let's not think about that." She cupped her hands, "As a fellow female inheritor of the Earth Dragon Clan, I, Crystia, respect your decision and integrity. I can see why you were chosen as the candidate despite the situation you chose to land yourself in."

"You're not bad either, senior."

Isabella smiled back, and the both of them seemed like they were friends who didn't meet for a long time.

Hirona and Sierra were also approving of s.h.i.+rley as they talked for a few minutes, boisterously laughing and talking about romantic things like how sweet and heroic their husbands were.

""

Looking at this sight, Davis couldn't help but inwardly sigh. The inheritors getting along was the original sight he wanted to see when stepping into the immortal world, but the powers behind them didn't let that happen.

However, as he cast a look around, he guessed that youths and people who took care of power didn't have the same thought process, leading to this spiral of different emotions filling the room.
