In Natalya's room.

Natalya became fidgety, exhibiting her nervousness. She didn't know what her man was up to but she felt that she should believe in him. She felt that to her level best, place his faith on him.

In other words, she became a generic woman... No!

There's a difference between a blindly trusting woman and a woman who places her faith with facts backing her up.

So far, even in the past, Davis had done everything he said that he would do and just a while ago, be said that he would take her home. Those words may not be a lie but it is also a prelude to openly asking her to become his woman.

For this to occur, Davis needed the blessing of three people from her family. Her father, mother, and grandfather.

If even one of them opposed, then he could only forcefully take her which she had already consented to when they had their talk after one of their intimate sessions but he said that he would not make her ashamed!

That was what made her place her faith in him!

Then, just when they went to confront her grandfather to inform him of their relationship, things became complicated with them hearing the conversation between Alchemist Yen and her grandfather.

Then he finally took her back here, showcasing the situation to be somewhat precarious as if she was held hostage even though she wasn't.

Even though she was unsure of the overall situation, she still wanted to place her faith in him. However, she didn't just wait for something untoward to happen. She continued to look at him with her puppy eyes that would make any man with a soft heart melt.

Unfortunately, Davis possessed a cold-hearted and neutral approach to strangers.

Looking at her pleading expression, he sighed but maintained his bottom line.

"It all depends on your grandfather... Also..." Davis paused, garnering her full attention.

"Don't you want to see if your grandfather will choose between you or his great benefactor?"

Natalya's heart delayed a beat.

'This... Is this a test for grandpa? Depending on this, he will eventually choose to compromise or kill?'

She silently gulped but in her heart, but the seed of wanting to see the result had been already planted in her heart as it grew rapidly.

'If grandpa chose the T-Third Prince...'

Natalya closed her eyes as she felt depressed. She had already experienced betrayal once in the form of illusion when their family had been duped by a single man skilled in Illusion Laws.

But if her grandfather were to really betray...

Natalya opened her eyes as a glint of determination shone in her pupils.

'Oh~' Davis noticed her expression and recognized those eyes.

It was the eyes of the willed...

Davis became heartened.

Even after he left, she still followed his teachings and cultivated Body Tempering Cultivation, advancing to Peak-Level Iron Stage, just a shy away from Silver Stage.

It took an enormous amount of effort for her to make it to this stage, after all, unlike all other women who hated pain to the core or having their soft, feminine figures changed, she endured and stepped into the ranks of Body Tempering Cultivators like a real warrior by herself!

He heartily reached his hand patted her head with his palm and at the same time, the door opened with force, and Agis Stirlander came into their view while it is the same for the latter.

However, what came into Agis Stirlander's view was that Davis clenched Natalya's hair, looking as if he were abusing her.

"You bastard! Get your hands off my precious granddaughter!" ...

Agis Stirlander walked into the room with grand strides and clenched hands, his eyes blazing in pure wrath while his nostrils let out stern breath!

Davis smiled even more and caressed Natalya's head with care before opening his mouth, "Perhaps you want to be seated, no?"

Agis Stirlander abruptly stopped and further clenched his hand before his arms trembled. He gritted his teeth and moved his leg to the side. He headed towards the table and sat on the ground as a wave a breeze hit the walls before it dispersed.

'Fierce... but still has to comply...'

Davis still kept smiling but it appeared evil in the eyes of the others, including Natalya as his expression gave her chills.

Staying calm in front of a Law Dominion Stage Cultivator required will and Davis precisely had it with him because of the fact that his Soul Forging Cultivation is at the Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivation can even go toe to toe with Low-Level Seventh Stage Cultivators.

He had already confirmed it by battling Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts! Hence, it became impossible for him to be instakilled by Agis Stirlander even in such a close range!

However, if it were a Low-Level Martial Master Stage Cultivator, it would've been a different story instead. Such pure force would've punched a hole in both his soul force barrier and body instead!

Agis Stirlander coldly harrumphed and demanded, "Let her go!"

When Davis and Natalya disappeared from his view, he didn't do anything rashly like launching a reckless attack, afraid that it might harm his granddaughter. The mysterious methods that Alchemist Davis used also left him hesitant to attack.

"I've already given you two warnings, didn't I?"

Agis Stirlander narrowed his eyes as he stared.

Davis pursed his lips, "For starters, let's listen to what you have discovered about us..."

His hand that was on Natalya's head moved to her nape before he started to caress her neck. He became a B-grade villain within two seconds while Natalya felt shameful to be caressed in front of her grandpa.

However, she did nothing, acting the part of a woman in captivity. Her speechless lips and helpless expression told Agis Stirlander that there should've been other methods employed to make her a captive and perhaps even set up a mysterious method for her to die upon being rescued.

"Stop!" Agis Stirlander growled.

However, to both his fortune and misfortune, he didn't know that Natalya wasn't subjected to any form of restriction.

Davis's lips curved, "Well, why are you hesitating then?"

*Bang!~*

Agis Stirlander further gritted his teeth before be broke the table with his fists slamming down!

His wrathful gaze fell on Davis before he took a deep breath. He then let out a long sigh before moving his lips.

"I've only managed to learn that your name originated in the Royal Xuan City of the Xuan Empire in the Tripartite Alliance Territory. I've had people check the other two territory and people had similar names but none of them were renowned alchemists."

"Hence, the search for your origins reached a dead end and became useless."

"Is that all?" Davis looked unconvinced.

"Of course, with your origin becoming even more obscure, how am I supposed to find the Conferred Queen's?"

Agis Stirlander's eyes possessed blame as if he sought that Davis should've revealed his origin when asked for the first time. He looked at his granddaughter and his nose wrinkled in discontent, thinking that he should've tightened the security more by inviting the experts into the residence.

But he was clear that it would have its own consequences, hence, he instructed for them to only guard in the outer region of the residence from over the walls.

Davis obviously was not convinced.

He left a lot of holes, like using Alchemist Scythe's persona to deal with a lot of people.

There was Elder Seylas who knew what his real age and appearance are... Hence, he believed that Agis Stirlander was still hiding some information.
