Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1293 Is The Protector Shy?

While Davis inwardly sighed, the golden-haired youth had an annoyed look on his face before he exasperatedly sighed.

"Sigh, fine... I won’t bother about the greeting of commoners, but if a mere countryside family has the gall to confer the title of Dragon Queen, then what are we Dragon Families for? Mhmm?"

His tone was inquisitive and overbearing as he looked behind and shot a look at a white-robed elder who happened to be at the forefront of the pursuers. It was none other than Grand Elder Krax Alstreim.

"That is..."

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim didn’t know how to answer this question when suddenly a voice echoed.

"That is because an honorable and brave woman named Isabella saved our entire family from the terror of the Aqua Flood Dragon by purely suppressing it with her bloodline alone. If such a character doesn’t deserve the title from us, then I guess we have truly offended the Four Great Dragon Families. You have my apology..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim clasped his hands with an emotionless face as he maintained a high ground in the air, seemingly both apologetic yet arrogant.

The youth narrowed his brows before he let out a contemptuous smirk. He didn’t say anything but turned his head towards the blonde-haired youth who had that odd smile on his face for no reason.

"What are you? A gatekeeper? Go call your Young Mistress for me..."

"Today, I have come to meet the so-called Dragon Queen of the Alstreim Family to see what kind of character and strength she possesses. I truly want to know if she’s someone fake or a true character who possesses the bloodline of a dragon..."

Everyone’s expression changed as if becoming slightly confused.

Wasn’t the Dragon Queen said to be from a Dragon Family? Even if she wasn’t from a Dragon Family, surely, to have a Protector of that caliber, she must be a prominent family.

But why was this young man from the grand and famous Zlatan Family claiming to want to see her if she is fake or not?

Most of them here were elders and possessed experience in terms of worldview, and their expressions quickly became polluted with confusion and misinterpretations.

"Who are you then? You have yet to name yourself?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke with the same uncaring voice.

"Me? I’m only an insignificant character in my family, but to you all, I’m the same as heaven’s son." A smirk appeared along with a haughty expression that became apparent on his face as he turned back to see Ancestor Dian Alstreim, looking at him with a bold gaze as if he was not scared of a Ninth Stage Powerhouse.

Many possessed offended expressions, but their ugly expressions instead served for the golden-haired man’s haughtiness to increase unabatedly.

"Still, I guess that it’s a bit overbearing for me to treat a hegemon of a small-sized Territory without respect. However, the only people who deserve respect from me are Ninth Stage Powerhouses and few certain Eighth Stage Experts. If you all don’t like it, then get out of my face."

"I asked what your name is..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim repeated once again with the same indifferent expression on his face.

"Raeburn Zlatan..." The golden-haired youth narrowed his eyes.

’Looks like he is not that much of an idiot to ignore a question from a Ninth Stage Powerhouse twice...’

Davis smiled, feeling that there must be at least something to look forward to in this encounter with the Zlatan Family.

"I see. Raeburn Zlatan... Your conduct is simply not good for your family’s reputation. I’ll turn a blind eye to entering the family’s territory without our permission if you go back to the borders and come back with our word of consent."

"Heh, go ahead and report to the four great righteous powers if Ancestor Dian Alstreim wants to... However, I would not be so sure as to whether if they would send a punitive force for something like forcefully entering a countryside hegemon’s territory. After all, I haven’t even destroyed anything other than a single formation that I had easily compensated after throwing out a spatial ring... I’m sure one of your people got it, or did they turn traitor and run away with that wealth?" He sneered.

He was sure that this power didn’t have the guts or the capability to touch him,

"Ancestor! It is with me!~" Elder Havle Alstreim shouted as he was given a mini heart attack.

He had already informed about this matter to Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, so he did not want other people to misunderstand.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim frowned; however, it was not because of that insignificant formation but because of this youth’s overbearingness. This was why he felt so tied up when facing a prominent character from the large-sized Territories. The other party said that he was insignificant, but he recognized the name and identity of Raeburn Zlatan, who seemed to be the second youngest child of the Patriarch of the Zlatan Family. How could such a person be insignificant?

They had influence, background, and other resources that he could never hope to obtain, and these were the reasons that made him stay his hand. It was effortless for him to punish this youth, but the consequences following after that was not something he could do deal with as once a member of a dragon family was bullied, the big shots would descend to the Alstreim Family and destroy their territory while having a valid excuse in their hands.

At that time, he would really be playing into their hands.

Nevertheless, he didn’t know the Dragon Queen’s true background, so he was curious as this youth, but he could also tell that Davis was somewhat odd in not revealing her background to him of his own accord.

That felt somewhat suspicious, but he wasn’t greedy. He only needed Davis to grow and bring the Alstreim Family to new heights or at least to their peak. He was satisfied with that alone.

"Welcome to the Alstreim Family, esteemed guest from the Zlatan Family. From this moment, I am happy to invite your esteemed self as the guest so that you can stay here and enjoy the pleasantness of our city without a problem."

At this moment, an ecstatic voice echoed, causing everyone to turn their heads towards the owner of the boot-licking voice.

Davis narrowed his eyes, recognizing that person to be that nameless Grand Elder who seemed opposing to his Isabella for no apparent reason at that time during the Alchemy Exchange. He recognized this person to be named Keris Alstreim.

Raeburn Zlatan smiled as he pointed at that Keris Alstreim, "You are smart."

"However, I have no business with you people but the so-called Dragon Queen Isabella, who is staying here as a guest."

Keris Alstreim’s expression quickly turned awkward, but he sent a soul transmission to everyone, telling that it was advantageous for the family to please this youth. Everyone inwardly agreed, but they didn’t comment on it.

Raeburn Zlatan turned to look at Davis, his expression turning impatient, "You seriously have no sense as a subordinate, do you?"

"My apologies." Davis kept his smile, "My Young Mistress is now in seclusion. If you would come at a lat-"

"Later date?" Raeburn Zlatan’s eyes narrowed into tiny slits as his voice produced became chilly, "I heard that she entered seclusion more than a year ago, and she is still in seclusion? It’s fine. Go tell her that a youth named Raeburn Zlatan from the Zlatan Family has come to visit her to determine her credibility."

"Credibility to what?" Davis tilted his head.

"Whether she is fit to be called a Dragon Queen or not, making her one among the four Dragon Queens of the Dragon Families." Raeburn Zlatan’s eyes became normal as he smiled, "However, that would make it Five Dragon Queens, I guess... But... there are only four..."

Raeburn Zlatan shook his head before he possessed an amused expression, "Actually, why am I still talking to a subordinate like you? Go call your Young Mistress, and just so you know, I won’t say it again."

"I see..." Davis lowered his head before he raised, "My apologies. My Young Mistress is in seclusion..."

Raeburn Zlatan’s brows inevitably narrowed before he looked around, "There’s no need for the Protector to keep yourself hidden. I want to see who you are as well to garner so much approval from the common masses as well as the true identity of the person protecting this character called Isabella."

"..."

The entire area became silent. However, even after few seconds passed, no one appeared, causing Raeburn Zlatan to purse his lips in amusement.

"Is the Protector shy? From what I heard, it didn’t seem that way..." Raeburn Zlatan uttered in amusement.

However...

"My apologies. The Protector is also in seclusion..."

"!!!"

Veins erupted on Raeburn Zlatan’s forehead as he kept his smile. He took a deep breath, understanding that this mere subordinate was perhaps messing with him. Perhaps, both the Dragon Queen and her Protector are in seclusion, but at this point, he really lost his patience, but somehow, he gained back his calm.

He tilted his head, contemptuously smiling at the subordinate as his lips moved, "Fine, have it your way. I’ll wait till your Young Mistress comes out of seclusion in this not so grand palace you have been given by the Als- Asktecim Family? Whatever..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s expression became cold as he knew that was intentional. No one insults their Alstreim Family like that, at least, not an insignificant brat from the large-sized Territories. Raeburn Zlatan just didn’t have the qualifications to do so.

As he saw Raeburn Zlatan about to enter the Purple Guest Palace’s eighteenth floor, he narrowed his eyes, wanting to stop him, but he saw Davis move.

"My apologies. My Young Mistress has commanded me to not let outsiders inside the Purple Guest Palace without her permission."

"Fuck! Apologies, my ass! Step out, you lowlife!" Raeburn Zlatan’s expression became enraged as he waved his hand, his Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage undulations tinged with the mighty earth-attribute spreading and bellowing like crazy as the air vibrated around him.

His golden-hair flowed, making him look extremely valiant while the elders couldn’t help but inwardly give a nod of approval towards this youth.

However, most of them seemed worried for Davis as they knew that he now belonged to the Alstreim Family.

Davis looked taken aback, his eyes blinking innocently, "Can I take it that you want to challenge me in a battle?

"Damn, what else does it look like to you, you stupid subordinate?" Raeburn Zlatan looked exasperated before he uttered, "You’re really slow on the uptake, aren’t you? How your Young Mistress took you as her favorite subordinate has become a mystery to me."

"Because I am sympathetic, I don’t want to damage the structures here. Follow me if you dare..." A contemptuous smirk appeared on Raeburn Zlatan’s lips before he flew above towards the skies.

His silhouetted flew valiantly as he rode on the broadsword while Davis floated and quickly followed suit as if he was extremely impatient to respond to the audacious challenge.

"Davis, no! Now is not the time to reveal your true strength! Let me send him away...."

Davis heard Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s soul transmission before he sent one back, "No thanks, just sit back and watch. I know what to do..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s eyes twitched as the surrounding people began to clamor in anticipation and expectation for the sudden engagement of a battle. He couldn’t help but muse that they were both arrogant, but his eyes became calm, looking forward to seeing who truly deserved to be arrogant!

Thousands of meters above the surface, two figures arrived at a certain point as they maintained a distance of a dozen kilometers, looking at each other with amused attitudes.

"Hehe! You really came..." Raeburn Zlatan looked astonished as he chuckled, "Looks like I overestimated your intelligence a bit as I heard that you had manifested Superior Law Manifestation and were even an alchemist..."

"Looks like you did your homework..." Davis smiled as he tilted his head in amusement.

"Hehe, did you expect me to hide that? That is beneath me as I’d rather show you the true difference between us, a genius in the small-sized Territory and a genius in a large-sized Territory, especially a genius from the Zlatan Family!"

Raeburn Zlatan echoed as his Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage undulations retreated into his body, suddenly replaced by a heavy sensation of Martial Master Stage undulations, one that was at the Peak-Level, the very peak!
