Chapter 1075 I“ll Allow I

After the last person in the queue left, Davis finished tallying on what he obtained from whom.

Only the men brought the ingredients he listed while the women were full of gifts that more or less indicated their allegiance to him if he were to accept them as his woman. Only a few women brought ingredients, while the others offered him a similar yet lower grade arm-guard when compared to the one Kayale Alstreim gave him.

With many beautiful women displaying their intent to him, Davis was a bit intoxicated. He felt that he might be enveloped in vice and immorality when being surrounded by them, and it would be a lie to say if he didn't glance at their bosoms each time they came near him.

Each and every woman and their fragrances were quite unique that it subconsciously made him look at them in a l.u.s.tful gleam.

However, his ugly desires didn't manage to overcome his will in the end.

In fact, Davis couldn't be blamed. Most of the women who were gathered here were not skimpily dressed but wore makeup and outfits that accentuated their beauty and curves. Additionally, they wore perfumes that guaranteed men would look more than twice at them.

They were here, some even ready to sleep with him somewhere in the Purple Guest Palace if need be!

Even the men in the hall were starting to get restless because of them. Some men even inwardly cried, looking at their target of infatuation present Alchemist Davis with their allegiance. Today, they had their hearts broken, but nonetheless, benefits mattered more to them than a mere crush.

Davis's gaze landed on a certain person. He noticed that this person seated near the middle row never came forward to congratulate him, but despite that, that person seemed to be anxious.

'Oh... It's her...' He recalled this character.

She earned fourth place in the Alchemy Exchange, and he once ignored her when the elder smoothly set up a conversation to connect them.

'No wonder she's hesitating... It's like I already rejected once to her...'

Sophie Alstreim's pupils shook as her gaze connected with Alchemist Davis's. It made her feel electrified for a moment, making her go still, even subconsciously stopped her breathing.

It was only after a second that she started inwardly screaming like a dreamy lady who was noticed by her beloved. Nevertheless, she let go of her inhibitions and stood up before moving towards Alchemist Davis. She garnered the perceptions of everyone who was present as she seemed to be the last person to gift.

Claudius Alstreim cheered inwardly and wished her good luck! He felt that his chances were also dependent upon her.

Davis looked at her stop in front of him before she took out a jade box. However, she didn't extend the gift towards him but to Evelynn!

It made him a little surprised, but on the other hand, Evelynn blinked in confusion and a bit of shock.

"For me...?"

Sophie Alstreim awkwardly nodded her head and opened the jade case, "It's a Peak-Level King Grade Protective Artifact."

A beautiful ornamental bracelet appeared.

"If it isn't much, please accept my sincerest regards."

Claudius Alstreim became flabbergasted!

Goodness gracious, what is she doing? Instead of gaining favor from Alchemist Davis, she's trying to gain favor from the first wife like a concubine?

"But why? Aren't you afraid that getting close to me will sting you instead?" Evelynn smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"My grandfather taught me that a person should not simply judge by what others say but through using one's own eyes, and I believe in Alchemist Davis's character to be upright. I trust Alchemist Davis wouldn't have a truly poisonous woman by his side, and that can only mean that you are someone of the righteous path even though you practice Poison Laws." Sophie Alstreim simply smiled.

Evelynn's expression became a bit strange. It looked as if she couldn't believe someone acknowledged her for who she is instead of discriminating like everyone else. She considered if this could be a ploy, but looking at the other party's clear eyes, she felt convinced that she reached out her hand and accepted the gift.

"Well then... I'll graciously accept."

Sophie Alstreim looked ecstatic, "Great! I'm rather blunt with my words and actions, so please forgive me if I had offended you somehow."

Davis stared at Sophie Alstreim, his opinion of her improving at a steady rate.

The fact that she brought a woman's bracelet and not an arm-guard or a similar treasure meant that she had already planned to give it to Evelynn, or perhaps one of his wives. He didn't know if she prepared it beforehand, but it certainly left an impression on him.

He couldn't help but take a close look at her once again.

Sophie Alstreim wore an unblemished white robe that appeared to signify her purity. Her blonde hair freely fell to her waist. She possessed sharp yet clear eyes that appeared a bit starry, a small and cute nose as well as rosy and luscious lips. The white robe she wore further accentuated her ample curves, making it look as if it were about to burst.

Overall, her appearance made her look extremely delectable to his eyes, and it was clear that she was intent on gaining his favor as well. It was just the way she went about caught his eyes.

It wasn't as if no one thought about earning his favor through Evelynn, but as Evelynn said... One should not be afraid of being stung by her. That was the prerequisite.

Davis rather approved of her courage to take the leap.

However, he also knew that this woman dared to display her middle finger to Weiss Alstreim in the Alchemy Exchange!

She was indeed as blunt and courageous as she could be despite how cute she looked! Of course, it could also be because of the fact that Grand Elder Krax Alstreim is her grandfather. Therefore if one exaggerated her connections, she also has the protective aura of the Ancestor.

She could act as unbridled as she wanted in the Alstreim Family! But that didn't mean she could act unbridled in front of him or the Dragon Queen.

"Well, then!" Kayan Alstreim suddenly stood up, "Why don't we move on to the next event where we showcase our abilities to Alchemist Davis? It would make for wonderful entertainment as well, helping Alchemist Davis pa.s.s his time in leisure."

"I agree!" Ravalat Alstreim quickly replied, making it the second time he agreed with his rival.

Sophie Alstreim turned to look back at them with an unamused expression on her face. These people were just too much!

It was rather obvious to everyone that Alchemist Davis was intensely looking at Sophie Alstreim. Therefore, they all unanimously agreed with them trying to ruin her chances.

"Then let me be the one to perform then...!," Sophie Alstreim narrowed her eyes, "Since I was the last one to gift, I deserve to be the first this time."

"You can't be-"

"Why not? I'll allow it..." Davis abruptly echoed.

Kayan Alstreim almost choked as his words got stuck into his throat. He disbelievingly looked at Alchemist Davis.

Doesn't this insignificant sign of giving her permission mean that Alchemist Davis truly became interested in Sophie Alstreim!?
