Chapter 1051 Shame? In Front Of Benefits?
While Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim remained stumped, Xiao Meili’s expression was a bit disappointed. In her years working in this Verdant Alstreim Treasure House, she has never seen an accommodating person, nor had she seen a more overbearing person than him.
Did Alchemist Davis have enmity with Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, or is it something concerning Young Mistress Nora Alstreim? She couldn’t help but wonder.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim narrowed his eyes after his confusion cleared. However, he still couldn’t process the meaning behind Alchemist Davis’s words.
Judging by the context, there were three nuances he managed to find.
One is that Alchemist Davis has become greedy for Dragon Queen Isabella with his growing prowess, and so can no longer hold his loyalty towards her but wanted to make her his woman!
The second was to warn him that his own subordinate would become greedy because of something or someone else and try to backstab him.
The last one is one of his many subordinates have become greedy and sold themselves to someone else, ready to backstab him.
If someone asked him what he believed Alchemist Davis meant, it would either be the first one or the last one. The last one had already happened. It wasn’t anything surprising to speak of... That left, the more likely the first inference.
But, if it were the second inference... that someone else could be Alchemist Davis himself! He would be the only one who could probably sway his close subordinates!
However...
’Perhaps... Is Alchemist Davis warning me that he would corrupt Zeno Alstreim with incentives and flowery words?’ Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim mused but inwardly laughed.
’What foolishness... Zeno would never betray me...’
He felt that just the thought itself was absurd. How could someone who has remained loyal for thousands of years turn against him?This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
The loyalist’s blood was filled with reverence and worship for a long time already, and even if there were chances of betrayal, he felt that it should be very less that it can be considered negligible. Besides, he never treated the other party with contempt or used as disposable property but showered with rewards and praises.
She slowly turned her head to look at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim in question, wondering if she heard it right.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim repeated the same thing, and Xiao Meili finally realized that what she heard wasn’t wrong. She was initially planning to resign and return to her town to initiate humble beginnings, but who would’ve thought she would be personally invited by the Grand Elder!?
Right now, she felt utterly graced and honored!
There was still room for growth!
Xiao Melli gave a deep bow as she clasped her hands, "Xiao Meili thanks Grand Elder for his magnanimous and indiscriminate heart, and humbly accepts the vice-manager position of the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House."
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim laughed.
’Ah, little lass. You aren’t a person of the Alstreim Family. Otherwise, for receiving even a bit of favor from Alchemist Davis, you would’ve stood a chance to gain a Low-level Emperor Grade Treasure...’ He inwardly sighed.
’The least I can do is reward you with this post.’
He knew about the ongoing commotion that had exploded from yesterday. It seemed like every family elders, Elders, and Grand Elders subtly gave their approval to the younger generation for this matter. Every younger generational expert, especially young maidens, was aiming to earn the favor of Alchemist Davis.
’Well, which family doesn’t want the addition of talent, especially when the talent leaves everyone out of their league? However, isn’t this a bit shameful?’
’Oh well, in front of benefits, what is shame? I’m similarly sinful for a few deeds of the past, but as for Nora, she will be the one to decide who she wants, not the other way around.’ Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s eyes flashed.
If Alchemist Davis tried to make a move against her, he didn’t know what he should do... but if it was mutual, he welcomed it all the same. He took a deep breath and relaxed.
"Vice-manager Xiao Melli..."
"Y-Yes!" Xiao Melli came out of her reverie and stood in attention.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim smiled, "Your first task as the vice-manager is to personally deliver these Poison Essences to Alchemist Davis in the Purple Guest Palace."
"Yes!"
