Boreas Alstreim suddenly felt his entire being pushed to one side as if being crushed. Blood splattered as his chin crumbled, and his cheeks completely caved in before he was sent flying by a resounding slap that shook the crowd into absolute silence!
*Bang!~*
Only the resounding sound of the slap and the crash towards the wall that was hundreds of meters away kept echoing in the big hall!
Princess Isabella didn’t even bat an eyelid, but she looked at the puddle of blood near her long legs with her amethyst pupils that became a shade of crimson from the reflection of blood. Instead, everyone’s head swiveled from looking at the miserable and bloodied Boreas Alstreim to Alchemist Davis, watching him possess the audacity to ruthlessly slap a talented alchemist right in front of everyone, right in their own lair.
Wasn’t he afraid that he would be disqualified? After all, a martial battle wasn’t allowed in the Alchemy Exchange unless specified!
Davis clicked his tongue in distaste, and he possessed an abnormally cold expression on his face while his arm was still bent in the posture of slapping. His palm wasn’t even stained with a drop of blood, but he knew that Boreas Alstreim’s skull shattered, teeth crumbled, and neck snapped with his distinct slap.
Nevertheless, he still held back from killing Boreas Alstreim with his own two hands.
When he entered the hall, it was of little doubt that these men here feasted their eyes on Princess Isabella, roaming their gaze over her curvaceous body. It was quite normal behavior for men to be attracted to a woman, especially a top-tier woman. However, the moment he sensed that their eyes were strangely concentrated on her bosoms, with their expressions becoming a little lewd, he deemed that they took it too far.
After all, with the difference between their status, they would not even have the right to look at her with a straight gaze, but they dared to stare at her rudely along with the flow of the atmosphere.
Princess Isabella did not say anything to their inappropriate gazes as she was a guest, but Davis mused that she held little patience for men like them who violate women through their eyes. If he had not stepped in to make a scene, perhaps Princess Isabella might’ve taken action by herself, and by that time, it was unknown how many injured alchemists with broken bones would remain.
That is why she thanked him before...
He didn’t want to make it too big of a mess, and so he indirectly put out the fact that Princess Isabella was his and someone they could only look up to, but since this retard Boreas Alstreim did not seem to understand, he did not hold back.
No matter what others may think, Isabella was his woman for heaven’s sake! No one can look at her wrongly, and especially not in front of him!
Davis didn’t want to admit it, but Isabella, Natalya, and Evelynn were his reverse scales. He could stomach being humiliated, but when it was his woman who was humiliated, he simply became unable to withstand.
He didn’t know why, but could reason that it was because of his past. He was used to being humiliated. However, the heart to care, especially possessing deep affection for his women, was something he developed in this life.
’But indeed... There are people like this retard who is unable to weigh the difference between their status...’ He inwardly lamented as it was a long time before he met such a person.
Boreas Alstreim didn’t dare to retort Sophie Alstreim but dared to be aggressive towards him? The Dragon Queen’s subordinate?
Just how much envy did Boreas Alstreim feel towards him to become this retarded!?
"Anyone who tries to near my Young Mistress with no matter with what intent it maybe shall be dealt with by me without fail!"
Davis echoed a final warning as he coldly looked at the crowd. He didn’t overstep his bounds and returned to the surface like an obedient subordinate, ready to participate in the Alchemy Exchange on the behest of his Young Mistress. He was instantly covered by a plethora of fear, ill intent, or rather, unwelcome attitude by the people of the Alstreim Family.
Surprisingly, no one said anything, not about his entry into the participant’s zone, or the resounding slap he gave to Boreas Alstreim, perhaps realizing that Boreas Alstreim was completely at fault in this mess. After all, a cultivator stumbling over his footsteps in that flat platform? That was certainly unbelievable even though it was possible that he could’ve been nervous or charmed by the beauty of the Dragon Queen at such a close range.
Nevertheless, they inwardly mocked him if he couldn’t come up with a better act than that sorry act.
Some people checked on Boreas Alstreim and declared that he had fainted, becoming incapable of participating in the Alchemy Exchange. The crowd wasn’t surprised as Boreas Alstreim didn’t move after being sent flying, but suddenly voices of concern were raised against Alchemist Davis for flouting the rules; that an alchemist could not raise his fist against another alchemist during the exchange.
The voices were backed up by Weiss Alstreim secretly eyeing some of the people in the crowd to raise their voices. However, a single sentence from the Dragon Queen silenced all forms of protest in an instant.
"If my subordinate hadn’t stepped in, then there would be a corpse here instead of a fainted person..."
That’s right. First of all, even approaching the Dragon Queen amidst the seat of elders could be considered blasphemy, ultimately resulting in his death. These words caused all those who raised their voices to tremble in fear, afraid that they might be implicated.
Hence, they kept their mouths shut and lowered their head, afraid to match gazes with the Dragon Queen.
Weiss Alstreim trembled before he turned back, his back becoming a bit desolate. He took a step forward and looked at Augustus Alstreim, who seemed to be already retreating towards the surface of the hall.

His last chance’s answer couldn’t be any more clear.
Augustus Alstreim returned to the participant’s zone as soon as possible. He was rejoicing right now, glad he didn’t decide to become Weiss Alstreim’s representative at the last moment!
He was initially feeling regret as he missed a chance to have the Young Master as a backer, but looking at it now, he mused that Weiss Alstreim was as cowardly and unsurprisingly trash as he could be!
Boreas Alstreim didn’t even get to be looked at by Weiss Alstreim before he was taken away. Augustus Alstreim was glad that he didn’t agree to become Weiss Alstreim’s lapdog, as pointed out by Alchemist Davis, only to be left out cold without a hint of care. He felt that even if he must become a lapdog, it should be for a person like the Dragon Queen, who clearly cared for her subordinate!
Besides, he felt that if he could hold on to that long, white jade-like legs and remain at that fair white feet for the rest of his life, his life would be complete!
Weiss Alstreim silently returned to the surface and flew towards the exit. However, it was unknown what had happened within him that his movements became erratic before he stopped and moved to a corner that was out of the participant’s zone.
