Chapter 440 His Only Hope To Live

Davis had already cleared the Immortal Grade Trial of the Earth Dragon Immortal but it threw him out saying that he was an anomaly. He garnered that there wouldn't be a new person who could inherit the Immortal Inheritance any time soon.

So the one with the highest likelihood to inherit its Immortal Inheritance would be none other than Princess Isabella since she had cleared the Emperor Grade Trial recently.

He even had the thought that the Earth Dragon Immortal would support her in her endeavor to clear the Immortal Grade Trial. After all, it had lamented to him how it wasn't able to find a suitable successor after all those years.

However, he didn't know that he was right on the mark!

The Earth Dragon Immortal did indeed favor Princess Isabella and her confidence to reach the Immortal Stage in this lifetime precisely stemmed from this matter.

She knew about this matter because the Earth Dragon Immortal personally said to her when she cleared the Emperor Grade Trial that it would lower the difficulty for her to clear the Immortal Grade Trial.

At that time, she remembered how she was instantly elated and even had the urge to elegantly dance at the spot.

Evelynn took a glance at Davis when she saw him nodding to her high expectations. She couldn't help but have some doubt that if he was patronizing her since she couldn't guess Princess Isabella's chances to clear the Immortal Grade Trial.

She closed her slightly agape mouth and didn't opt to speak since this conversation seemed to be slightly... no, way out of her league.

Davis spoke as she shook his head, "Well, to each their own..."

It's not like he was against or had anything to comment on Princess Isabella's ambitions.

"I'll present you a King Grade Item after the matter of helping me can be considered over."

"It's settled then... Just tell me when you're leaving, I'll have to prepare..." Princess Isabella gave a smile.

"We'll leave in an hour," Davis spoke and stood up, turning to leave. He was afraid that they would leave his sensing range soon, but he wasn't worried that much since he had the confidence to find them again as he had familiarized himself with their undulations.

Besides, by using his Death G.o.d Eyes and Soul Sense in tandem, he was able to figure out they wouldn't die anytime soon since the length of their threads above their heads indicated that their lifespan wasn't short.

Different from the Karma Threads which connected people, he called it the lifespan threads.

Evelynn stood up and slightly bowed as a form of respect before running to catch up to Davis.

Once the both of them left, a sigh leaked out from Princess Isabella as she thought, 'Could I have offended him with this or shouldn't I have asked for more?'

Princess Isabella knew that she was indeed asking for more, however, she had too many commitments to fulfill and take care of...

As a princess, she knew that without power and wealth, status was meaningless unless she had a backer. Someone had to be supporting her from behind but she didn't have such existences like the one Davis had, the mysterious senior who had ma.s.sacred millions of people without even making a sound.

Hence, she had to gain wealth and strengthen herself as much as possible, so as not be taken advantage of...

In her years of being a princess of the Ruth Empire, she had always been languid and easygoing even though she acted cold, however, her first trip into the Tripart.i.te Alliance made her realize the dangers, making her high-strung.

There were too many dangers she had faced, even almost being 'subordinated' to a person of power.

Princess Isabella's eyes flashed as she thought all of this...

As for Davis...

'No, the way I see it, he is a prideful yet reasonable man. I don't think he is offended since I didn't cross my limits...'

======

Capital of Loseris Kingdom.

In a particular Inn where mercenaries and vagabonds visit, drink and engage in discussion and conflict from time to time.

Three black-robed figures sat together as they spoke in hushed tones.

"Are you sure? Did you really see them entering the Royal Palace?" A young feminine voice echoed.

Another black-robed figure nodded its head, "Although I was far away while tailing them, I certainly saw them entering the Royal Palace. However, I don't know why exactly they chose to visit the Royal Family at this time?"

The last black-robed figure spoke, "They probably wanted to request, no, command the Loseris Royal Family to help search for us, the members of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries. Glyn, did you see Lucas with them?"

Glyn nodded his head.

He and Nina were new faces in the Cloud Spring Mercenaries and didn't even completely join the Cloud Spring Mercenaries through a formal process. However, through Lucas and Lucia's recommendation, they were allowed to join their group.

With this advantage of being not known much, Glyn had roamed around the capital like a vagabond, spotted the Arc Song Mercenaries as he followed them secretly and surveyed the Royal Palace from the outside for a short moment before returning to report to Lucia.

He turned to look at his elder sister, Nina, "I'm not sure but if they're moving and not staying in a single place, Lucas must be certainly with them."

Nina's eyes glowed with hope, "If Lucas is with the Royal Family, maybe we can..."

The black-robed figure who first spoke cut her short in a feminine voice, "The power difference between the Arc Song Mercenaries and the Royal Loseris Family is simply huge. The latter would undoubtedly take the former's side and screw us over if we sell ourselves out."

"But... Lucia..." Nina turned anxious.

Lucia sighed, "We cannot reveal ourselves but we can try to retrieve Lucas. If he is treated as a captive, he is most likely kept in prison for the time being."

Glyn's eyes gleamed, "We can strike at that!"

Lucia also nodded. All three of them came here to try and rescue Lucas. She didn't believe the others but she believed these two siblings.

Nina held her blood brother's legacy in her womb while Glyn was Nina's little brother.

Lucia and Lucas had once told them to come to Cloud Spring Mercenaries if they couldn't stay in their own family, and they really came.

All was good until the Cloud Spring Mercenaries completely collapsed.

Lucia clenched her teeth as she considered the risks, "Nina, you cannot come with us."

Nina widened her eyes in shock, "Why? I still am not weakened!"

For women, pregnancy would cause weakness in them. The more time pa.s.sed in the gestation period, the weaker they would become because the child in their womb would be pa.s.sively nurtured by the mother's cultivation level, giving rise to their latent talent on top gaining their father's genes.

In the initial period, like the first three months of pregnancy, they would not be weakened much, and still would be able to fight normally.

Lucia shook her head, "In case if anything happens to us, then only you can live to ensure that we get our revenge."

"Don't say that..." Nina stuttered in worry but she was interrupted.

"If something happened to us, leave this place and regroup with my father. If he knows that you carry my brother's child, my father will surely take care of you."

"But!"

Lucia interrupted her again, "No buts! We don't even know if my brother is alive in a realistic sense! If he is..."

She suddenly stopped and took a deep breath but didn't continue her words, "You are his only hope for him to live!"

Nina's heart shook.

For him to live...

She lowered her gaze and saw her own stomach as she no longer spoke.

Glyn suddenly spoke, "With just the two of us, the chances of being spotted dwindles, besides, we have only two Peak-Level Sky Grade Stealth Robes which helps us evade the enemy's senses. Elder sister, you should stay here."

Nina pondered for a while before she finally nodded her head.
