Chapter 838: Their Debts Are Settled

The Solitary Soul Avatar and Princess Isabella then left towards their Ethren City, returning to their estate.

Davis's real body was at Evelynn and Natalya's location, a few kilometers away from the destroyed martial platform. Evelynn threw herself to hug him, but she didn't say anything, and just left space for Natalya to hug him, who smiled with a resplendent expression on her face.

Her husband's battle was just too electrifying! Furthermore, Princess Isabella's battle was mind-blowing for her! She had never seen such a heart-shaking battle like that, a pure exchange of fists. Unfortunately, she was unable to witness the battle due to her inability to follow them with her eyesight.

Davis turned to look at Arianna Woller and Alexi Ethren. He nodded at them before he thanked them for their actions.

"If you two owed me three times, then all your debts are settled by now."

Arianna Woller blinked while Alexi Ethren became astonished.

Looking at their bewildered and confused expressions, Davis explained.

"Alexi Ethren, because of you, I managed to gain a lot of random information from the Imperial Library, and you warned me about these two major powers in a timely manner. Let's say that this makes one..."

"Arianna Woller, you have stood in front of me and blocked an attack for me even though there was a chance that the opponent could've killed you without giving any face to the Conferred Queen. Luckily, the baldy seemed to have a brain in the beginning, but not in the end. In any case, this makes the second one..."

"Furthermore, you protected my wives just now. Your reaction was almost impeccable and timely that I felt that I have to thank personally. No matter what or how measly this help might've been to your eyes, this makes the third one..."

"With these actions, you two have cleared all your debts... So there's no need to stay by my side anymore."

Davis smiled before he waved his hand.

"Furthermore, for willing to side with me in the face of two hegemonic powers, I'll bestow you two this!"

He took out two small vials that possessed the nectar and shoved it to their palms.

Arianna Woller and Alexi Ethren became taken aback, but when they heard the protector's echo before, they understood.

'They're leaving...' This thought echoed in Alexi Ethren and Arianna Woller's minds.

"I..." Alexi Ethren didn't know what to say, "I feel kind of heavy..."

On the other hand, Arianna Woller smiled, "Take care of yourself, okay?"

"Will do..." Davis became taken aback, but he nodded his head. She sometimes called him benefactor, but now, her words were like that of big sister's.

"I feel like we could've been much more close..." Alexi Ethren suddenly said with a sigh. He was reluctant to part after being displayed that kind of hospitality and help.

Even if Alchemist Davis said something like his debts were cleared, he knew what the other party did for them wasn't that little to be cleared like this in an instant. After clearing the debt, he actually wanted to stand equally at Alchemist Davis's height before he could overcome him.

However, good things come to an end. The other party belonged to some mysterious external power and would eventually leave. This was actually a depressing thing in his life, and even though he faced many separations with life and death brothers, this profoundly affected him somehow.

"Haha!" Davis suddenly laughed, "What are you saying? I already consider you my friend."

"Friend?" Alexi Ethren's eyes flashed before he smiled, "A friend, huh..."

In the cultivation world, the words comrades, brothers, lifelong brothers, and friends were romanticized in a platonic way. After all, backstabbing was common between men when treasures, women, and other valuable things were involved. These words were treated as a sacred term among men and wouldn't be used casually.

Alexi Ethren stretched his hand, and Davis reciprocated almost instantly as they pulled into a shoulder impact.

Davis spoke, "If you're about to die, don't hesitate to contact me through the messaging talisman."

Alexi Ethren laughed and nodded, "I will..."

"Maybe we would meet one day. Until then..." Davis patted his shoulders and then left with Evelynn and Natalya, who smilingly looked at him. However, Evelynn's expression was a little forced.

He suddenly stopped and turned back, "That's right. I didn't have time, but can you deliver everything about poisons that is in the Imperial Library and the Treasury. You see, my Evelynn would really need it."

Evelynn's lips imperceptibly trembled.

He smiled while Alexi Ethren broke into a smile as well, "No problem... The Ethren Empire doesn't need anything related to poison anyway. I'm going to completely revamp them before leaving!"

"Ah! Little sister! I didn't mean that all poison cultivators are bad..." Alexi Ethren quickly realized the slip up in his words and explained.

Evelynn just slightly laughed and brushed it away. She knew that the man possessed no ill intent.

Davis nodded and left with Evelynn and Natalya to the estate.

Alexi Ethren's smile faded only to be replaced with a sigh from his lips as he suddenly asked, "Mother, are you sad?"

"How can it be?" Arianna Woller giggled, "I just felt pity that I had a son instead of a daughter."

Alexi Ethren's expression froze before he noticed that his mother was teasing him! He just laughed it away and spoke, "Speaking of daughters... I think I have impregnated her."

This time, Arianna Woller's expression froze. She had her mouth agape but then closed. She opened it again and spoke, "Am I going to become a grandmother?"

"That's your worry!?" Alexi Ethren retorted, but he quickly calmed himself down.

"What do you think about my relationship with Iona?"

"Oh? You're calling her by just her name?" Arianna Woller teasingly smiled, but noticing that her son was serious, she said, "You can make decisions by yourself, Alexi. However, since you took a looking to that greedy woman, make sure you completely make her submit!"

"She should belong to you and you alone!" Her eyes flashed with a firm and resolute glint.

"That's exactly my thoughts as well..." Alexi Ethren nodded his head.

Initially, he just thought that their one-night affair would end with that night but who knew that Iona Ethren would visit him of her own volition. Perhaps she finally broke, and his figure had entered her heart somehow, or she was just using him for her own purpose.

To him, all that didn't matter as he figured out that she had his child on the second encounter. She was truly a fertile woman.

Nevertheless, two choices were placed in front of him. Either he could make her abort the child or become a responsible father like he thought he would, but a mistake had already been made, and he felt a few complicated feelings for her as well.

For him, it was impossible to sleep with a soft and willowy body and not hold feelings for that beauty of that level. Besides, she was just the perfect outlet for his lust!

"Mother, since I'm the Emperor, I will take her as my concubine!"

Arianna Woller just smiled, "Do as you wish, son. You have suffered far too much injustice, and the Ethren Family owe you their everything."

She reached out her hand and patted his head with care.

Alexi Ethren smiled contently.

At this point, it was obvious that to Arianna Woller, her son was her life!
