Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 975 Simply Mistaken

"Nora, I am positive that I can get an eligible participant to make me their representative and convince them to get more of the share, but on account of our friendship, I will not shamelessly jump to another person. We’ll be dividing the nectar fifty-fifty as it should be... If you insist, then I can only...’"

Dalila Leehan sighed as she stated her terms or low-key warned again.

"..."

Nora Alstreim’s expression became more reluctant than ever.

Outsiders just couldn’t participate just because some kind of competition is held in their family. They have to represent a person from the host, the Alstreim Family’s side, to possess the right to participate and gain half the claim to the rewards that they would win!

This kind of rule was present in almost all powers since it actually helped them recruit talented cultivators.

Want the full reward? Become a part of the family!

However, Nora Alstreim knew that if she declined, instead of joining, Dalila Leehan would undoubtedly look for another person to represent!

’For example, Weiss Alstreim...’

Even if it was not Weiss Alstreim, who would dare not accept her!?

Nora Alstreim clenched her teeth before she made up her mind, "Fine! We’ll split the nectar fifty-fifty!"

"That’s more like it!" Dalila Leehan smiled with a smirk over her lips. She became proud of being the only person to rely on and desiring of the nectar. After all, she herself was convinced that she would be the one to win this Alchemy Exchange!

Nora Alstreim inwardly sighed. At least, they were splitting it equally and not in unfair terms. This way, she could still have twenty-five milliliters of nectar rather than the initial ten milliliters that were announced. If she had accepted to split at that time, she would merely gain five milliliters that could’ve only helped Grand Elder Elise Alstreim have a greater chance but not a complete assurance to enter the Martial Master Stage!

But with this twenty-five milliliters, she had more options to choose from!

"Everyone!"

The crowd turned to look towards the Dragon Queen again, wondering what’s in store for them now.

"I believe that almost everyone has become overjoyed with this reward in store! However, if you all think that it’s easy to win, then I can only say that you’re all greatly mistaken."

She gestured to her side, "After all, the alchemist I trust is also going to be participating in this Alchemy Exchange."

Everyone swiveled their heads lightly to look at Alchemist Davis with heat emitting from their eyes. In an instant, all the attention and pressure went to him, causing Davis to let out a wry smile, but it looked like he was smirking in derision, causing the participants to be further provoked!

Just before a commotion could ensue, a person flew over and stepped on the platform with a calm expression on his face. He cast a glance at Alchemist Davis before he bowed towards the Dragon Queen.

"As the Young Master of the Alstreim Family, I am deeply honored to be presented such an opportunity even though it would rightfully belong to your subordinate in the first place. I am sure that everyone is already aware that the Dragon Queen is treating this Alchemy Exchange as a tempering session for Alchemist Davis, but nonetheless, please excuse my rudeness as I would dare say that we have excellent pill disciples of our own!"

Weiss Alstreim echoed. His speech was met with a plethora of voices that backed up his statement.

"Furthermore, in front of a renowned top pill disciple from the Thousand Pill Palace, I wonder if Alchemist Davis would be able to meet his Young Mistress’s expectations?"

"Nevertheless, I have the same belief that the Dragon Queen has for over her subordinate. I believe that Alchemist Davis would be the one who will win this Alchemy Exchange!"

Princess Isabella inwardly frowned, wondering what Weiss Alstreim was up to as she knew that he was not like this, reserved and refined. She mused that perhaps, being abandoned had caused him to finally start standing on his own two shows yet also could not lose the previous ways of sucking up to a bigger fish.

Even Davis had to admit.

Weiss Alstreim’s face was so thick that even after a vicious slap from Isabella, he was still able to walk around and greet her with respect. He didn’t think that Weiss Alstreim was a person who could endure humiliation, but he could understand that it would be growth from not having a backing anymore.

He could see that Weiss Alstreim might be desperate to gain a backer, and that happens to be them, the people who were trying to kill him.

’Ironic...’ Davis nearly broke down from his current expression, almost laughing on the spot.

"Do you have that’s all to say?" Princess Isabella’s voice echoed out.

Everyone could feel the cold intent that was in it, and when they cast a glance at Young Master Weiss Alstreim, they saw him tremble a bit.

Weiss Alstreim quickly raised his head and forced a smile, "I would like to introduce you to the Alstreim Family’s rising talents in Alchemy."

Princess Isabella leaned back and put her arm over the armrest, resting her head over her hand and crossed her legs, "Go ahead..."

She adopted an Empress’s demeanor, not giving any kind of respect for the Young Master of the Alstreim Family.

The people of the Alstreim Family simultaneously felt the humiliation, but they didn’t try to support Weiss Alstreim in any way, most likely due to his character, but there was also the fact that they could not offend the Dragon Queen, their greatest benefactor in centuries!

They also knew he deserved to be treated like this by the gentle yet righteous Dragon Queen since most of them knew that he kept disturbing the Dragon Queen initially like a toad lusting over a swan.

Weiss Alstreim did not comment about the rudeness but turned around and opened his mouth, "Boreas Alstreim, Sophie Alstreim, Augustus Alstreim and Claudius Alstreim! Step over the platform!"

He called upon a few four people and gestured them to come up on the stage! The few people who were called out couldn’t express their current feelings as they felt acknowledged! They moved from their close groups and flew towards the platform.

However, a certain someone frowned on the surface, wondering why he was called out by the Young Master when he hadn’t even made contact with the latter yet. He mused that his identity and prowess must’ve been leaked before he reluctantly embarked over to the platform.

In a few seconds, three men and a woman stood behind Weiss Alstreim as they respectfully bowed towards the Conferred Queen.

"Dragon Queen! They alone are the top alchemists who represent the Alstreim Family’s younger generation!" Weiss Alstreim introduced.

"Good... So you four are the alchemists who are fighting for the honor of the Alstreim Family..." Princess Isabella possessed a musing expression on her face, "... then that means the Young Mistress has taken the side of..."

"That’s right!" Weiss Alstreim’s smiled, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light, "We fully devote ourselves to the betterment of the Alstreim Family, unlike a certain someone who has brought in a member of the Thousand Pill Palace to cheat on a humble exchange like-"

"If Weiss Alstreim, Dragon Queen, or anyone thinks that I am representing the Thousand Pill Palace for this event, then that means they are all simply mistaken!"

At this time, Nora Alstreim flew towards the platform as her melodious voice echoed around the hall.
