Chapter 400-Dominance of Dave
"Andrei the drunkard, I didn't expect that you were still alive," the emperor said, and the drunk man looked at him with a calm expression.
"Where is my booze?" the drunk man inquired.
The emperor smiled bitterly and responded, "You still haven't changed, huh? Did your defeat to Lucien leave you so depressed?"
Emperor Warren remarked, then produced a wine from his space ring and threw it to Andrei.
Andrei caught it and promptly consumed the wine, leaving those around them stunned.
"What? Is that Andrei Alexander, the one who was once so famous? The same person who was supposed to be the next patriarch but suffered a significant loss to the current patriarch in a battle?"
"Shhh, be quiet or you'll implicate our clan," someone cautioned.
Andrei looked at the emperor and commented, "Hmm, do you want me to reveal your secret as well?"
"You too were also..."
The emperor interrupted him, handing Andrei more wine and instructing, "Don't create trouble here."
The emperor didn't let him finish speaking.
Andrei was one of his friends, along with Lucien.
While Andrei and Lucien were once rivals, they were also cousins.
The emperor ignored him and proceeded to his throne, followed by his children.
The Crown Prince was also present, positioned near Wendy.
He was known for his gentle demeanor, but he and Wendy didn't have a good relationship.
With everyone seated, the emperor was about to command his subordinates to start the event, as he didn't need to give a long speech.
However, a powerful aura suddenly enveloped the area.
A portal materialized before the True Saint powerhouses, and the ancestors of the Royal Clan gathered near the emperor, familiar with this aura.
"Tsk, a demonic sect," Andrei snickered, showing his disregard.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a beautiful woman appeared in front of everyone.
She wore a black dress, and her stunning figure seemed to draw the very souls of those beholding her beauty.
Everyone felt terrified because, even though she rarely acted and appeared in public, her reputation alone could still strike fear into their hearts.
However, no one was shocked by her aura. Instead, they were more surprised to see her smiling like a girl in love, with a handsome man beside her, his arm wrapped around her waist.
He had long red hair that he left untied, which had a mesmerizing effect on the women who saw the scene.
"So handsome."
"Wow, can there really be such a perfect guy in real life?"
Even the princess and daughters from prominent families were charmed by his handsome face. They almost forgot that the leader of the demonic sect was present.
Wendy, who had been wearing a calm expression, changed when she saw him.
His presence caught her off guard. She hadn't expected him to appear here, and she was still uncertain about how to face him.
She wanted to punish him for his actions, but she also owed him for the pill he had given her, which allowed her to absorb a part of her previous body's strength.
Now a Semi-Saint Sovereign, she could have broken through to an even higher level if not for the suppression of the Immortal Plane's will.
"Hmm, as expected, he is a womanizer, and even the demoness was captivated by him,"
Wendy thought, struggling with her emotions. She felt a pang of pain in her heart as she saw him with another woman.
"Hmmp, why would I even think of it? A mere human isn't enough to affect me, a goddess," she tried to reassure herself.
But the truth was that ever since she met Dave, she found herself significantly affected by his presence.
The geniuses from the Alexander Clan who were participating in the event were equally stunned.
They were led by Jiang Chen, who had been recommended to the matriarch by Dave due to his exceptional talent.
"As expected, Young Master is truly exceptional,"
Jiang Chen admired, planning to seek his advice on romantic matters.
He didn't recognize the woman Dave was with, but he was still proud of his young master.
Dave remained composed as he and Karina displayed their affection for each other, seemingly unfazed by the shocked onlookers.
"What does this mean, Young Master Dave? Have you aligned yourself with the demonic sect?" the emperor inquired.
Dave had garnered a positive reputation through various stories, even though the emperor had never met him personally.
Dave's image was placed on the 'not to offend' list.
The Royal Clan held some minor grievances against the demonic sect, but their sentiment wasn't as strong as their animosity towards the Buddhist Clan and the Holy Clan.
The reaction of the ancestor from the Buddhist Clan was somewhat unusual; he didn't display hostility towards Karina.
Similarly, the Holy Clan refrained from any aggression, likely due to Dave's presence.
Dave's aura exuded friendliness and calmness, but there was a sense of terror when faced with his smile.
The emperor then turned his attention to Andrei, who shrugged his shoulders and remarked, "Don't associate our clan with such a weak demonic group."
Andrei's statement was true. He was also taken aback by Dave's presence, having heard numerous stories about him.
Dave's reputation was well-deserved; he was undeniably strong, and facing him seemed more dangerous than facing Lucien.
Warren understood that Andrei was correct. With the might of the Alexander Clan, there was doubt whether Warren's own clan had even a 30% chance of winning a war against them.
The mere presence of Lucien was enough to exert significant pressure.
Fortunately, Warren had maintained a good relationship with the Alexander Clan.
Dave smiled and addressed the emperor, saying, "Well, she's now my woman, and I'll give her anything she desires."
As he spoke, he gently kissed her forehead, prompting many women to feel a mix of envy and admiration for Dave.
"Wow, he's not just handsome, he's also dominant."
"Oh, my dominant CEO boss."
"Damn, I need to change my underwear."
Warren was taken aback by Dave's statement, noticing that Dave seemed unconcerned about how others perceived his alignment with the demonic sect.
"Do you know that her clan has committed many sins and atrocities?" the leader of the paladins interjected, his deep dislike for the demonic sect evident due to their enmity with his church.
Karina remained silent but wore a gentle smile as Dave continued to show his affection for her.
Dave's smile remained as he retorted, "Oh, does that mean your church has never committed any wrongdoings? And do you really want to become my enemy?"
"I'm here as an individual," Dave continued, his tone assertive, "My clan isn't involved. Those who wish to challenge me are welcome to step forward. How about that?"
As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from his body, causing those around him to feel suffocated.
Wendy, however, wasn't surprised by this display, as she knew Dave was adept at concealing his true strength.
At this moment, she still harbored uncertainty about her chances against Dave.
Although she had absorbed her previous body's strength, she now possessed her celestial arts, which she considered her trump card against him.
