Chapter 4042 Worried Sick?

Chapter 4042 Worried Sick?

Davis stopped in front of the entrance to his mansion as a few people surrounded him. There were six of them.

Their expressions were solemn, causing him to enter a battle state as he bent back slightly and raised his hands.

"Is this an extortion scam?"

"No!"

Almost everyone tripped on the spot, their expressions turning wry before they laughed dryly.

The tension in the air lifted with Davis's antics.

They looked at him with amusement before Drake opened his mouth, "Don't be afraid. We're not here to rob you clean. Instead, we're here to leave."

"Leave?" Davis raised his brows.

He gave another look at the six friends gathered before him, carefully assessing them.

It was Drake, Zenflame, Rocksunder, Fenren, Soaren and Andiron.

"Well," Drake tried to explain, "Accurately, I wouldn't be leaving, but my avatar will accompany the others who want to leave. I will go out to gain more knowledge while they- I'll leave it to them to explain. On the other hand, I got Kara and Jade Sua pregnant."

He pursed his lips, his expression one of fear for the future.

"Oh, great!" Davis's eyes lit up, "Congratulations, brother. Finally, you can call yourself a father."

He nodded, understanding why Drake would want to remain. This mini-realm was proving to be useful in their minds.

Nonetheless, he looked at the others, "So what is up?"

"Nothing," Soaren responded, his expression grim, "I can no longer suppress my worries. I have to see if my family is safe with my own eyes and get them back, or I won't be able to suppress my raging emotions."

"..." Davis's expression turned solemn.

As expected, his brother Soaren was unable to wait after becoming a variant. Perhaps the variant bloodline was also causing him to be irritable or vengeful.

"Me too." Fenren nodded, "I have to rescue my family."

"Needless to say, I will do my best to ensure everyone's survival." Andiron cupped his hands.

As an Obsidian Crystal Turtle, he was well-versed in Space Laws and was essential to their group's survival.

"We just want to accompany them, help them, and see the world with our own eyes." Rocksunder gazed into the starry sky.

"True." Zenflame nodded wisely, "Even if we go to our families, it will only result in us being unable to demand an answer as to what happened to our descendants with our current strengths. Actually, we'd be executed on the spot, haha!"

"..."

Davis went speechless. He shook his head, "This location will be exposed sooner or later. It would only be a matter of time before we're besieged and engaged in a skirmish for years to come, so I'm not going to restrict you all. However, the timing is important. If they can't find you, they're practically waiting for places that we would visit. In other words, your families. Without enough power, you all should never go. You at least need to have the strength of an Empyrean to be able to escape even if you saved them. Otherwise, are you going to get yourself caught with your families by your side and implicate them as well?"

"You-" Soaren clenched his teeth, "Then why did you come to save us!? You wouldn't have enough power if it weren't for Saintess Lunaria's disciples being there! You wouldn't have succeeded in saving us and even died if things went wrong!"

"..."

Davis pursed his lips. Why? He even asked himself that sometimes. After all, his priorities definitely weren't his friends but his family.

How stupid did he have to be to lose sight of that priority and leave to save his friends?

He couldn't really explain it as he lacked friends in the beginning, and the first friend he made was also a woman, his personal maid, Ellia, before it all went awkward since they both had affectionate feelings for each other.

On the other hand, he liked being with Soaren and the others and fooling around, although the time he spent with them was short. Perhaps it was the trust they placed in each other, making him feel reassured that there were people who were willing to trust in him without expecting anything in return while being able to gladly die for him.

Davis's lips moved, "Isn't it because we're sworn brothers? Or was I the only one who thought that?"

"..."

Soaren clenched his fists, having no retort for that, but right now, he really wasn't in the mood to consider friendship when his family could be suffering.

"Soaren, calm down..." Fenren reached out to his shoulder and firmly held, "Davis has a point. There's no point going there if we're only going to get caught and implicate our families. We must become stronger. We need to become strong enough to be able to handle an Empyrean by ourselves."

"I sincerely wish I could accompany you guys to save our sisters, children, and the others, but right now, I have a sword hung over my head. It can fall on me the moment I break the rules."

"...!?"

Everyone raised their brows.

Davis finally spoke of how he had to exchange his life for ten years of relative peace from the Celestial Transcendent. He told them about the covenant.

At first, he considered whether to tell them or not since the lesser the number of people knew the existence of the covenant, the less people could take advantage of him. However, he felt that there was no way the Supreme One was going to keep quiet about it.

This ten-year period was the chance to force the Divine Emperor of Death to kill a Heaven's Warrior or have him step out of the realm he was staying in in order to end his life.

He felt all the Heaven's Warriors would know about the covenant, probably even the Realm Masters or many people.

More than anything, he felt if he was going to reveal it to someone other than his family, then who else would it be other than his sworn brothers?

Otherwise, there was no point in asking if he was the only one who thought of them as sworn brothers. That would be hypocritical.

"..."

Hearing about the covenant, Soaren's eyes finally regained clarity as he trembled.

His brother was forced to exchange his life for a mere ten-year period. He felt intense anger swell within him.

"Don't you ever worry! So what if you can't go out or kill those bastards? We will take care of all the mess happening outside in your stead! We just have to become stronger, right!? Fuck, I'll do it! I'll stay and become stronger than ever!"

Soaren roared, dark blue-gold flames blazing out of his body.
