Shortly after reuniting with Founder Zenfla's party of six, they all boarded the flying ship and left the pirate town.
They obtained what they needed to obtain, so it would not be wise to stay in the pirate town, especially when there was already an incident that almost exposed Founder Alstreim and the others.
Isabella was overjoyed to see Crystia.
To her surprise, she apparently got pregnant with Noctis's child! Although the ti couldn't be any worse, she still congratulated the two of them.
However, it was just the opposite for Hirona and Sierra.
The two of them were extrely quiet ever since they boarded, so she couldn't help but ask what happened.
Apparently, their husbands had died millions of years ago, so they were now widows. Sowhere in their hearts, they thought that their husbands were in the Zenfla Family in the Seven-Colored Phoenix Upper Realm, but it seed like that wasn't the case since they were killed by the Zenfla Family themselves.
This happened when the Zenfla Family was still subservient to the Aurafla Clan while being secretly defiant.
"My descendants really were misled by Reselius Zenfla. Most likely, their husbands tried to correct the way of the Zenfla Family when they noticed the blaring change but got killed for it. I have no way to protect those lousy descendants anymore, nor do I want to protect them."
Founder Zenfla shook his head. He heaved a heavy sigh, one that was full of lant.
He really should've killed his second son, Reselius Zenfla, when he had the chance, but he was soft and let him live a life of imprisonnt, which later led to this kind of wicked revolution within the family.
"…"
Shirley didn't know what to say.
She hated the Zenfla Family to the core. That went without saying, so the fury she felt at them was enough to lay waste to their entire family. However, Sierra and Hirona had lost their husbands. To them, it wasn't more than a year from the ti they bid farewell to their husbands.
It was even more of a tragedy than what happened to her. She couldn't imagine the pain they were feeling right now.
However, it seems like they already cried out their hearts a few days ago and are now no more than husks traveling the world to survive and know the full extent of the truth.
The Aurafla Clan's records may state that their husbands have died, but it was unknown if all of it was the truth. They hoped their husbands were still alive, but they couldn't find any thod of transmission their husbands would've left for them, which made their hearts bleed and their vision bleak.
"…"
Davis blinked.
It was a ss in their group.
Shirley walked away and talked to Sierra for a few seconds. It didn't take long for the other party to break down and silently cry on Shirley's shoulders. Seeing them, Hirona also couldn't take it any more and silently cried as she buried her face in her palms.
Shirley brought Sierra and Hirona together as she comforted them, looking like she was going to cry herself.
Looking at them, Davis had to admit Shirley had a knack for breaking down the defenses of other won. She was charismatic and allowed Sierra and Hirona to cry on her shoulders without making them put up much of a defense.
However, he felt a bit sad, as that could be his own wives in the future lanting his death or their sister's death. His eyes shone with a determination not to invite a similar scenario.
"What about you? I'm sure you had many wives as well."
Founder Zenfla's lips curled, "Well, they apparently died during the coup the Zenfla Family started to oust the Aurafla Clan. It was said that so survived, but chances are that they have remarried under the threat of death or their own will."
"…" Davis's gaze flickered, "It's obvious you're looking to flatten the current Zenfla Family, so much so that you're oozing bloodlust while talking about your descendants, but what are you going to do about your wives who are still alive? What are you going to do if you ever see them again?"
"…"
Founder Zenfla looked at Davis. The question was too personal, but he chuckled, humoring him.
"Nothing. I've been gone for a few million years already, so I don't deserve them, nor do they have any responsibility to wait for so long. I barely knew them for a hundred years, so I could only imagine how they must have suffered waiting for millions of years before they moved on."
He looked down, his voice shuddering.
Davis didn't say anything.
Although Founder Zenfla's words were apt and reasonable, the heart didn't accommodate such logic. To Founder Zenfla, it was rely a few years since he had last seen his wives.
How could he easily forget them? How could he forgive their infidelity if that happened? How could he forgive himself for letting them go through huge turmoil while he was sleeping?
There was no right answer to those questions.
Davis didn't ask anymore.
He turned to look at Founder Rocksunder and wondered what went on with him.
After all, unlike the traitorous Zenfla Family, the Rocksunder Family might still be thriving as a branch family under the main branch of the Earth Dragon Clan.
"He got to see his wives. They're all living under the small Rocksunder branch, not forgetting about him. My daughter is still alive and appears to be still faithful to him, but to not endanger them, he left without talking to them." Founder Zenfla uttered, a smile finally appearing on his expression as he rembered his daughter.
Davis returned his gaze, sighing lightly, "Even if not righteous, it seems like the Earth Dragon Clan is blessed with reasonable and protective people at the very least."
"Haha, how I wish I had them for descendants instead of-"
Founder Zenfla wanted to curse, but he stopped, thinking it was no one's fault other than his for letting Reselius Zenfla live. That unfilial son of his hadn't indoctrinated the Zenfla Family with wicked values. There was no changing that.
Davis kept quiet for so ti.
He was thinking about a lot of things, wondering if Founder Zenfla just wanted to hide and cleanse the Zenfla Family. If it were the latter, he would certainly be willing to help, as his revenge against the Zenfla Family wasn't over yet.
It was set in stone that Killian Zenfla's father, Kerez Zenfla, who was theorized to be a Seven-Colored Phoenix, would try to enact revenge upon him given the chance.
Reselius Zenfla was one of the most devious and cunning opponents he had fought. The damned bird had put on an act and escaped death at least two tis in front of him. That was a comndable feat, so for Reselius Zenfla to acknowledge Kerez Zenfla as a true successor, Davis could only imagine what kind of headache Kerez Zenfla would be in the future.
Nonetheless, he wasn't looking to make use of Founder Zenfla and Founder Rocksunder. It was fine as long as they didn't cause trouble. However, what he was looking for was important, so he couldn't throw it on another date just because it might seem rude.
"Founder Zenfla, I assu you still have the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills. How many do you have left?"
"…"
