Chapter 198: Surrounded by dogs
If you think David couldn't reject the couple's kindness, then you are wrong. He was just afraid of Theodore's wife, who knows when she might go mental.
So, considering all these things, David showed a forceful smile on his face and nodded towards the couple.
After performing the formalities, David once again focused on the sky in front of him.
In just a breath of time, an outline of a figure was clearly visible in the distance. The figure was dressed in golden armor, exuding a majestic aura that made people instinctively want to bow their head.
As he moved forward, the air seemed to split in two parts in front of him, as if it was being cleaved by a sharp blade with a terrifying edge.
All the people gathered here were shaken by the grand momentum of the figure in golden armor, except the immortal lady and David. Even the leader of the Truth Seeker formation organization had a solemn expression on his face.
Suddenly, the leader of the Truth Seeker formation organization stepped forward and said in a loud but respectful tone, "We greet the Heavenly general." Followed by these words, he performed a bow, with his head almost hitting the ground.
At his words, the faces of the Lotus sisters and Alchemist Theodore changed. If they were to believe the words of the Truth Seeker formation organization leader, then the man in front of him was a super powerful expert.
It was common knowledge in the territory of the Divine Might Heavenly Empire, or even in the territory of the Alchemist Union, that to be appointed as the Heavenly general of the empire, cultivation at the Yin and Yang realm was the minimum.
Once they understood this point, another question popped up in their head: why was such a mighty figure here, after all, the Nightblade city was at the outer fringes of the Empire, almost bordering the territory of the Alchemist Union.
When the golden-armored general was only one kilometer away from them, he removed his helmet and revealed his handsome face.
David looked at this scene and frowned. Such a close distance—yeah, one close distance was uncomfortably close for someone as strong as David. He could even hear the heartbeat of the other guy without even focusing.
He smelled a conspiracy. The guy wasn't here with good intentions.
Without hesitating for even a single moment, he activated his Crystallization of Life golden eyes, and immediately his vision was filled with a deep shade of red.
Seeing this scene, David felt bad, not for himself but for the guy in front of him. The guy had no idea who he was messing with.
David could even guess the internal thoughts of the other party.
While David was examining the Heavenly general, the general was also looking in David's direction with a smile on his face.
'What a good actor.' David inwardly rolled his eyes and sneered. If it wasn't for the Crystallization of Life, he would definitely have been fooled by this guy, as David was still a youngling compared to these guys who might have lived for who knows how many millennia.
Suddenly, a frown appeared on David's face. Except for him and his supposed mother-in-law, all the people were performing a bow according to the imperial etiquettes.
He and his supposed mother-in-law, whose name he had forgotten, stood out like two sore thumbs.
David immediately felt a few gazes landing on his body.
"So you are the Inheritor of Blood Moon Ancestor's legacy," the Heavenly general suddenly said and looked meaningfully at David.
David stood still, neither denying nor accepting the other party's claims. Of course, he didn't really need to act like this, as the information was already out in the open. Out of nowhere, David had the sudden urge to pull the leg of this two-faced bastard.
Thinking about these things, a smile threatened to blossom on his face, but he resisted the urge with all his might, after all, the smile would break his character.
Witnessing David's laid-back attitude, the eyes of the Heavenly general narrowed, and the smile on his face also stiffened.
"Young man, there is no need to pretend. The Divine Might Heavenly Empire is already aware that you are in possession of the legacy, so there is no need to hide it," the general spoke coldly. Although he didn't say anything explicitly, David could read between the lines and sense a threat hidden in his words.
"The Heavenly general is right. Young man, you should hand over the inheritance to the empire. Don't try to chew more than you can swallow."
At this time, the leader of the Truth Seeker formation organization also echoed from the side, supporting the general.
David was surprised by the leader's words, and then his eyes flashed with coldness. 'Just great.'
He looked at everyone's faces present to see if there was anyone else supporting the Heavenly general.
And indeed, White Lotus, who had been silent all this time, also spoke, "The inheritance of the Blood Moon Ancestor should be shared with the world. It's too much for a single person to swallow it all."
From the side, Red Lotus wanted to say something but ultimately sighed and didn't say anything in the end.
All of them were trying to push David into a corner. The Heavenly general looked at this scene and his smile widened even more.
He was satisfied with the Truth Seeker formation organization and White Lotus's ass-kissing.
Although he felt there was no need for such a thing, but hey, free help wasn't to be rejected.

'What a good Morgan family,' David cursed in his heart and clenched his fist, appearing very angry.
To be honest, he somewhat understood the reasoning behind White Lotus's actions. If he was also asked to choose between a random no-name teenager and already established super powers, he would also choose the latter option.
But sadly for the Morgan family, this time the random no-name teenager was a character with a Divine system.
David secretly gloated in his heart but still continued to watch the performance, acting as a complete bystander.
Thankfully, not everyone was against him. Alchemist Theodore stood silent and even looked at him worriedly.
'Do they really think I am a helpless little child?'
These were all David's internal thoughts, but in reality, he seemed to have barely said anything and looked like a lost child who didn't understand why everyone was speaking against him.
The worry that White Lotus felt because of his mysterious background also vanished. Now she was completely sure that earlier she was only overthinking things.
What could even this no-name kid do, so what if he can fight against tens of golden core realm experts?
At this time, the terrifying silence was broken by David, who finally spoke for the first time.
"I can give you the inheritance. But the inheritance is in this formation on my hand, and I can't access it. How can I give it to you?" He pointed at the tattoo on his hand and said in a slightly confused voice.
He seemed to have accepted his fate and hand over all the inheritance.
Red Lotus looked at this and sighed with relief. At least this kid was sensible. She had some good impression of David and didn't want him to meet his maker today.
Hearing the confused voice of David, the Heavenly general was stunned for a moment when a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Just chop off your arm. What's there to think about it?" The general spoke in such a tone as if chopping an arm was no big deal.
"Why are you not hurrying? Do you want me to take action myself?" The Truth Seeker formation organization leader said, his voice tinged with impatience.
He seemed to be blaming David for wasting his time.
And when he saw David not taking action, he coldly snorted and flicked his wrist, following which a sharp blade appeared in his hand.
The blade was unusually long with a complete silver build, filled with one glowing rune, a sign of a Heaven and Earth treasure.
He seemed really interested in chopping off David's arm.
Before anyone could react, the Truth Seeker formation organization leader suddenly slashed in David's direction.
Boom!
A huge complete white sword slash appeared in the air and moved towards David at breakneck speed.
No one had expected the Truth Seeker formation organization leader to be so decisive in his actions.
The sudden displacement generated a loud sonic boom that reverberated in the surrounding like heavenly thunder.
All those who witnessed the slash felt as if their skin was pricked by nails.
Under David's vision, the slash turned bigger. Each passing moment, it turned bigger and soon his figure was completely devoured by the terrifying energy contained in the slash.
Lotus sisters closed their eyes and silently mourned.
Theodore wanted to rush forward, but he was stopped by his wife, who looked at him deeply and didn't say anything else.
