Chapter 628 - Do You Understand?
Just as Leon wondered what they really wanted from him, Reuben Darkwing pulled a young lady before him.
"My daughter, Catalina, is of similar age to the divine doctor." Reuben Darkwing introduced before suggesting, "If the divine doctor does look down on my daughter, perhaps the two of you can become friends."
After Leon glanced at the other aristocrat heads who similarly brought their daughters and beautiful female servants with them, his eyes immediately flickered with understanding.
These people were seeking to establish a connection with him by using the honey trap tactic!
"Divine doctor, my daughter, Shahla, is also of similar age to you and wants to be your friend!"
"Pah! How shameless of you, Sir Riverick! Your daughter is only 13 years old! How is that similar age, hmm?!" Another aristocrat family head snorted before turning to Leon, "Greeting, great doctor. How about befriending my—"
"Daughter? Holy fuck, dude. Are you sure that she isn't your secret mistress instead?" The other black-winged aristocrat family head, Riverick Blackfeather, immediately took the chance to jab back.
The lady brought forward by the other black-winged aristocrat family head appeared to be at least in her late-30's—old enough to be the divine doctor's young mother.
"What nonsense! Did I say I was introducing my daughter?! This is my little sister!" The black-winged aristocrat family head exploded.
In a short moment, all the aristocrats finished their attempts at matchmaking their sisters, daughters, young cousins, and even servants to Leon.
They knew that if they could bind the divine doctor to their families, their families would be able to enjoy prosperity for many generations to come.
Alas…
Leon took a glance at Aria beside him, who have gone silent with an expressionless look.
Given the relationship they shared, the aristocrat family heads were not giving her any respect by blatantly trying to matchmake her man with their daughters and such.
"Hmph!" Aria snorted.
With a stomp of her feet, a wave of ice-lightning power surged out from the ground with a threatening presence.
"Rank 2 Transcendent!"
The aristocrats all hastily retreated with shock after Aria's reveal of strength, not expecting to see another person with a high-level cultivation base after Lord Bahlzacs's death.
If such a strong person assisted in the previous battle, it would have ended even quicker!
Lord Bahlzacs was simply destined to die!
Just as the aristocrat family heads were about to make an apology, Lilith's voice thundered over with a snarl, "What are you all doing over there! I'm not done with all of you yet!"
Lilith stormed over angrily like a jealous, causing the aristocrat family heads to become stunned at the same time.
Glanced back and further between Aria and Lilith before ultimately shaking their heads with disappointment and wry but bitter smiles.
The competition was too strong!
There was no hope of binding the divine doctor to their family!
"Our apologies, Your Highness. We did not know that the divine doctor was already your lover. We mean no disrespect," Reuben Darkwing took the initiative to speak first, acting like he was the leader of all the aristocrat families.
"W-What? Lover?"
Lilith's stern face immediately flushed with embarrassment, losing all the strong momentum she came forward with.
Nevertheless, after a moment, she recovered slightly before correcting them, "You're wrong! The one you are disrespecting is Aria. Apologize to her, then get back to work!"
"Everyone must contribute to the clan's restoration. The aristocrat families are no exceptions, you hear me?!"
"Y-Yes, Your Highness!"
"Sorry for offending you, Miss Aria!"
Shortly after the aristocrat family complied and made their formal apology to Aria, they left hurried to join the other clans.
Once they were gone from her sights, Lilith heaved a sigh of relief.
Her body quickly felt like jelly as she wanted to melt into the ground and disappear. It was a taxing job to commands those much more powerful than herself.
She was riding on the prestige of her royal family and those who support her for her to successfully contain the aristocrats' circle.
"Seems like you are not having an easy time. Why not take a break?" Leon casually suggested.
"I can't!" Lilith quickly shook her head before saying, "There are too many problems that require my attention!"
"There's the issue of rebuilding the clan, the food, my parents, and even the Desolate Netherbird Tribe to worry about."
Lilith felt a little frustrated just thinking about them all.
"It doesn't seem like your Desolate Crow Clan have any clan elders to help you either," Leon commented casually.
However, Lilith was immediately stunned.
"No, we do have Clan Elders! Six, in fact!" Lilith stated shortly before calling Uncle Jorn over and inquired, "Uncle Jorn, why haven't I see any of the Clan Elders?"
"The Clan Elders?" Jorn repeated.
Shortly after, he quickly sighed with a depressive tone, "Two of the Clan Elders were killed as a warning while the other four were taken away with the Clan Leader and your mother, Little Princess."
"I see…" Lilith muttered with a sad look.
She did not dare to ask which two of the six Clan Elder was killed.
Not only were the Clan Elders the strongest in the clan, second only to the Clan Leader, but Lilith was also even close to some of them.
"Please come with me, Little Princess. There are some things that require your attention," Jorn spoke before Lilith nodded.
"Leon, Aria, I'll head off with Uncle Jorn first. If you two and others need something. Just come find me immediately, okay?"
"Sure." Leon nodded.
Not long after Lilith left with Jorn, Leon stared into space for a moment and muttered, "I will need to make some more teleportation arrays soon and deploy one in Desolate Crow Clan."
"It's almost time for me to check on the other side…"
Meanwhile, shortly after the aristocrat group headed over, Duna had caught up and stopped them in their path.
"Hm? Is there something we can do for you, Miss Duna?" Reuben Darkwing asked humbly, having seen Duna's battle prowess in action.
However, Duna did not reply.
Instead, she silently pointed them, then she pointed at their sisters, cousins, and daughters, then pointed to Leon in the distance.
Afterward, she pointed to a big block of broken stone nearby. Not long after, it quickly disappeared on the spot under the Destruction Law.
"Do you understand?" Duna gestured calmly.
The aristocrats immediately nodded their heads vehemently like obedient dogs while breaking out into cold sweats.
It was a clear warning!
