"I ca here to thank you," Davy said, shocking the two won that already had drops of sweat coming down from their foreheads.
"What?" They both said simultaneously, looking at Davy with expressions of surprise on their faces.
'He ca to thank you? Thank Minos for what? Is he talking about the matter related to the Chambers family?' Vivian wondered in silently as she tried to regain her posture.
Davy had not said anything like that to his sister. So, she had been taken aback by his statent.
Vivian thought Davy wanted to co to Dry City, not exactly with the best intentions.
She knew that Davy would not be excessive since he already knew of the Hayes family's alliance with Minos. And that was why she had brought him here.
But at no point had this woman thought that her younger brother would not even make a challenge to Minos!
As for Brooke, she sensed that Minos and Davy's situation was not so good. So, she was taken aback by the unexpected answer of that one-ard man.
'There truly are all kinds of people in this world...' She realized it, sowhat admiring Davy's ability to change the current situation through that approach.
As for Minos, he frowned his eyebrows and asked. "Did you co to thank ?"
"That's right." Davy nodded in agreent. "Not only did you help my family through that alliance agreent negotiated by Vivian, but you had also given sothing precious."
"Without the experience of that day, I probably wouldn't have survived in the Flaming Empire." He said honestly.
After losing one of his arms to Minos, Davy had understood his mistake in trusting Leroy Chambers too much. But that did not change what had happened, and for a while, he had hated young Stuart for his losses.
It was not easy for people of all kinds to accept so drastic change in their lives, which would limit them for who knows how long.
And it was no different for a talented young man to lose one of his arms, suddenly diminishing his fighting proficiency.
Consequently, Davy had hated Minos, rembering this sovereign every ti he found himself in difficulties related to his lower fighting proficiency or other limitations.
He had only not tried anything against Minos at that ti of the Spiritual Tournant because his opponent was already much more substantial than him and his main goal was to get one of the spots to go to the Flaming Empire.
But he had kept his negative feelings towards Minos for so ti after that event.
He had even thought after finding out that Minos had no intention of joining the sects of the empire of one day at least trying to defeat his opponent.
But after so ti in the Flaming Empire, by using the learning gained through that defeat, Davy had avoided several situations where he could have lost his life.
Not only that, he had been able to make better contacts and improve his chances of success, or rather, of taking advantage of the chances that arose.
In the past, he was even able to risk himself for soone unknown to him, considering that he could stand up for certain principles. But after Minos, he would no longer risk himself in such trivial situations.
The world was too big, and one could not know all the ti who would try to manipulate you, trick you, use you and then throw you away, etc.
Everyone had their story. Everyone could be good or bad, well-intentioned or with bad intentions, scheming, etc.
But just because soone seems to have the sa principles as yours, or has a pretty face, or even clamors for justice, does not an that this is enough for soone to risk getting involved in other people's problems.
Maybe in certain situations, a side that seed wronged indeed was. But what if it were the opposite?
Worse, if both were orchestrating an act to fool the gullible?
The world was complicated, full of dangers everywhere, and not fair at all.
So truthfully were suffering and could very well be saved by the actions of people like the previous Davy. But was it worth dying for strangers?
Was it worth taking all the risks for sothing uncertain that might quickly turn into sothing entirely different?
It was a pity for the poor innocents, but they would suffer because of the horrendous acts of others.
And those like the old Davy either died or matured at so point in their lives.
After eting Minos before he went to the Flaming Empire, Davy had learned sothing important, which made him survive until this day!
For this, he was grateful!
Anyway, hearing what Davy said to Minos, Vivian thoughtfully looked at the person at her side, understanding that the journey in the empire must not have been easy.
She clenched her fists and thought about it. 'I almost forgot about that...'
'We were here in the northern region at war, but he was all this ti experiencing a place where Spiritual Kings are no big deal!'
'I can hardly imagine the level of dangers in that state!'
On the other hand, Minos had been astonished by Davy's response. 'Surprising!'
'I hadn't imagined that he would learn his lesson so easily.'
Minos had said a hint to Davy at that ti, sothing to make the then naive young man think better before acting. But he had done such a thing without great expectations.
Davy could learn or simply let the ssage get forgotten. For Minos would make no difference, as he would not recruit such a person to his side.
So, seeing Davy's change, Minos was surprised that this person in front of him had had the best possible outco of what had arisen to him at the ti.
"Well, you don't have to thank for that."
"I honestly hadn't thought that this would be the outco."
"I just did what I thought was best at the ti..."
"As for the warning I gave you, that was simply my whim." Minos said sincerely, without faking a reaction that might make Davy see him as his benefactor.
Davy had achieved his maturation on his own. After all, having opportunities does not imply taking them!
As such, with his personality, Minos would in no way try to take advantage of rit concerning the matter.
"Anyway, I thank you for giving a chance."
"If I can repay the favor one day, I will do my best to do so!" Davy firmly said as he stood on that spot.
"Oh?"
...
As Minos' group continued talking in that residence of the ruler of the Black Plain, a red-haired woman dressed in a black cloak had just landed in the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom.
This woman had white skin, light green eyes, and a body of perfect asurents for her 1.65 ters tall, while her long wavy red hair reached halfway down her back.
But this woman had an unparalleled beauty, which would surely give her first place in the northern region of the Central Continent if such a competition existed and if she participated in it.
However, even with her unparalleled beauty by the standards of this region, this woman would not waste her ti with such superficial things.
After all, she, a level 64 Spiritual Emperor, a representative of the Spiritual Church, would never waste her ti like this!
She certainly valued her appearance, but she had too many matters to take care of to think about how the people in her surroundings viewed her.
The only thing on this powerful woman's mind now was to settle her official affairs in this region. And that was what she was doing at this mont, right after landing in the royal palace of this state.
That was none other than Gloria Frost, the representative of the Spiritual Church responsible for the northern region of the Central Continent.
She was in this region because the king of the Kingdom of the Waves did not have much ti left, and she would have to attend the royal funeral and the ascension of the new king.
But while making the planned route she had made before leaving the Flaming Empire, she was surprised by another person's funeral.
Jas Cromwell!
Because of that, she was in Capital City, where the occasion in question was to take place tomorrow!
