The atmosphere in the Grand Wedding Hall was cold and tense.

Three seconds passed in utter silence while the people who were dumbfounded today many times already had no words to utter, only capable of hanging their mouths in incredulity.

​​

They couldn't also help but catch the expressions of the Dragon Families' Powerhouses and realized that their expressions were twisting and churning as if they had just seen their own wives taken away from them.

But on the other hand, Isabella appeared shy to be he held like this in front of everyone. At the same time, it could be seen that she didn't give a damn about others, nor say anything that denied Davis's words which practically confirmed their relationship for the many people who expected her to speak up or slap him to death.

"Kill!"

Thorus Zlatan suddenly uttered as he took a step forward, his eyes blazing with killing intent.

The expressions of everyone changed, and Ancestor Dian Alstreim stepped forward to attack, but before he could even make a move, Davis appeared in front of Thorus Zlatan, one step ahead. Davis' sapphire eyes gleamed with coldness as he struck above with his feet, hitting right on Thorus Zlatan's chin.

*Bang!~*

It struck, sending Thorus Zlatan flying above till he went and collided with the dome's barrier. The barrier was like a bouncy sponge. It sucked him in before sending him off like a catapult. The rebound from that barrier sent him flying again towards the entrance of the Grand Wedding Hall.

*Boom!~*

He crashed on the floor, sending all those who stayed flying away just from the impact of that fall.

"My trashy slave, continue... How can you possibly attack my Isabella when even these shameless powerhouses were present? If you don't tell the truth, I will play with your head, kicking it around as I see fit while not caring if it would come off or not..."

Blood Thorn, who heard Davis's voice echo, felt his scalp turn numb.

He instantly began to spill the beans while Davis took a step forward and vanished from the place. The eyes of the other dragon families' powerhouses moved towards the direction where Davis had left, but it could be seen that they had difficulties perceiving his figure as their eyes squinted.

However, a kind of intense shock could be seen in those eyes.

They momentarily couldn't understand what they perceived of Davis and tried to understand, ending up not even bothering about Blood Thorn, who was currently leaking the conversation he had with Thorus Zlatan.

"Yiah!~ Bastard!~"

Davis instantly arrived in front of Thorus Zlatan, who screamed like a bitch throwing a tantrum as he stood up from the dirt. Thorus Zlatan threw a fist at him, stimulated by his golden dragon blood. His arm gave off a yellowish-golden aura smoldering at the Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage, covering his fist as it reached Davis.

However, Davis reached out his hand and clenched.

*Boom!~*

Thorus Zlatan's fist was caught in Davis's palm, but nothing happened to Davis kept holding his aggressive fist without breaking a sweat, literally causing the former to freeze and come out of his delusional fit.

At the same time, Blood Thorn's words became more audible to everyone in the resounding silence that once again filled the hall.

"... Agreeing with us to not interfere on those conditions, Thorus Zlatan commanded me to not injure Dragon Queen Isabella no matter what or face the consequences. Of course, we had no intentions to harm the Dragon Queen as we just came for the woman called Evelynn."

*Crack!~*

Thorus Zlatan, who heard Blood Thorn's words, was about to take his fist back from Davis when it was abruptly squashed.

"AhhhH!!!~"

He screamed, looking at his fist squeezed into a bloody pulp as he was let go of. Staggering back with faltering steps, he pointed at Davis with his other hand.

"You..."

However, he quickly took that hand back, looking at Davis take a step forward but stop the next moment.

"Elaborate it for everyone, my trashy slave..."

Blood Thorn gritted his teeth. If he spoke further, he knew the Dragon Families would correspondingly hunt him down with more fervor. However, remembering the slave seal made him want to spill out everything as he did so without wasting more time.

People heard Blood Thorn speak from the start to the end without interruption as the Dragon Families and other powerhouses were stuck in a stalemate.

Originally, Devil Bane and Blood Thorn wanted to make their move when the powerhouses from many powers all took to the skies to settle their dispute over the legitimacy of this marriage. However, it was over before they even knew it. They failed to make a move.

They were afraid that they wouldn't get a chance again but then Isabella arrived, an important person far more important than a subordinate's wife to the Dragon Families, causing them to have the opportunity to make a move.

However, while it was a fact that the Dragon Families would protect Isabella, it was a marvel that the Dragon Families would mess up by wanting to kidnap her. They used that mess up to their advantage, thinking that this kidnapping attempt would go extremely smooth with the Dragon Families not interfering with their plans.

As long as they could capture Isabella, who would dare to make a move against them? They even thought they could use Isabella as leverage against the Dragon Families if the situation was favorable for them to commit such an act.

However, the end result?

Devil Bane ended up being killed in a single punch while he suffered numerous kicks to the face while both of his Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation dropped to alarmingly low levels.

Soon, Blood Thorn would turn into an old man and possessed a valid chance to die from aging and blood loss, especially with his current injuries.

"Master.... master... Please help me... I will do anything for you..." He pleaded, looking very sincere, feeble, and helpless.

However, Davis ignored his plea as he looked around, leaving his back open to be attacked by Thorus Zlatan.

"Everyone, I thought it was suspicious for wicked path cultivators to make a move when the Dragon Families, powers equal to the Four Great Righteous Sects, were present. Now it's clear that Thorus Zlatan was the one who allowed Devil Bane and Blood Thorn to make a move."

"You...! What nonsesn-"

Thorus Zlatan tried to interrupt, but it fell on deaf ears as Davis continued.

"The other dragon families are equally responsible and accomplices in this matter. As a matter of fact, they didn't even move to defend, and even if they did, it was all acting. Everyone could see what had happened. Martial Overlord Powerhouses have the fastest reaction speed, but none of them made a move."

The millions of people who were watching this scene were embraced by shock, their minds trembling in incredulity. Some had even started transmitting this to their respective powers, quickly relaying what the Dragon Families had done.

Sarax Orcha, Heztus Ike, and Kyris Domitian's expressions turned ugly, looking as if they had no rebuttal. Actually, they felt that they could bullshit their way out, but Davis's strength at this moment made them fearful of attacking them.

They had also thought of attacking his wives as a countermeasure, but Isabella's stark presence that instantly slapped a Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse to death left them feeling stiff and cold like they had never before.

It was as if though they were in the presence of their Patriarch.

However, his strength also made them think.

"You... are you her Protector?" Kyris Domitian's expression twitched.

"There was no Protector from the beginning, dumbass." Davis sneered, "I was protecting Isabella before the time your dragon families even noticed her presence. I managed to court her and succeeded, marrying her like a few months ago, although it was done in secrecy. Even if you dragon families could not accept it, we are already husband and wife and have already consummated our marriage."

"...!?"

The expressions of everyone changed while the faces of dragon families' powerhouses twisted.

"How dare you!?"

Overcome by fury, Thorus Zlatan instantly pounced at Davis. Intense undulations radiated from his body, his other fist becoming covered in golden scales. It could be seen Thorus Zlatan was using a battle technique to kill Davis at this moment by getting to his back.

However, Davis turned quickly and still used his physical might to deal with Thorus Zlatan.

*Bang!~*

Their fists connected, and Thorus Zlatan's entire arm ended up exploding into a fountain of blood, but before Thorus Zlatan could even shriek in extreme pain, Davis's fist was relentless and unstoppable as it reached Thorus Zlatan's chest.

*Boom!~*

Thorus Zlatan's entire body exploded into a fountain of blood, causing everyone's expression to change. Nothing was left as blood splashed all around from the feet on the ground to the head, experiencing the same ending as what Devil Bane faced.
