Chapter 875: Revisiting Another Rival 2

After turning to see who had arrived at his residence, Minos immediately saw the figure of Davy walking behind Vivian.

And with that, young Stuart had immediately remembered the young man who had been manipulated by Leroy Chambers during the Spiritual Tournament, even having lost an arm to this sovereign.

Then, while quickly looking at the still armless shoulder of that newcomer, Minos heard Vivian's voice once again.

"Minos, I didn't interrupt you at all, right?" She asked as she looked at the woman standing next to him. "I knew you were here, so I just came straight here without notifying you first..."

Vivian was already an acquaintance of Minos because of her time in Dry City. And since she had come to his residence several times during that period, she could get here more easily than ordinary visitors for dinners or other meetings.

That was why she had surprised Minos and Brooke.

In any case, after listening to that woman, Minos was not angry that she had disturbed his moment.

He knew that Vivian understood what had been happening on the Black Plain. So, she was undoubtedly aware that the local ruler did not stay in one place for very long.

Hence, she had come here because she wanted to take the chance to talk to him before he left to battle around the Black Plain, thus perhaps avoiding having to wait for him for days.

And considering such a thing, he only regretted that he had missed his previous chance and answered that woman. "No, it's okay."

"What do you want here?" He asked before looking at Davy and continuing. "Are you here for business or a personal visit?"

"Both." She said in a low voice, somewhat unsure of what might happen.

"Is that so? Then speak what is for us to deal with." 

After saying this, Minos waved one of his hands, indicating for the two to sit around that area so that they could talk more comfortably.

With that, the siblings soon took their seats side by side on a sofa opposite the one Minos and Brooke were on.

Then, Davy intently watched young Stuart, who was one level above him. 'This guy is a real monster!'

'Back then, I had just reached level 44, and he had just reached level 39, but now he has completely surpassed me...'

'Not only that, even though I'm close to reaching level 52, he's even closer to reaching level 53!'

But while Davy was analyzing young Stuart, Minos and his sister had begun to talk about some Hayes family matters with the Black Plain.

First, they had discussed the pursuit of the Chambers family fugitives, something that had still been going on.

At first, such a thing had shown greater results, with many of the fugitives having been killed by their respective pursuers. But once the number of survivors had dwindled to a certain point, things had started to get more and more difficult.

But that was to be expected. After all, fewer people meant less work to hide, erase traces, or improve the chances of escape.

It was easier to control the situation in your favor when the number of escapees was in a specific range!

So, the pursuit of the fugitives from that family was still going on.

However, from what Vivian had informed Minos, more than 90% of the nobles of that organization had already gone to the afterlife. As for the Spiritual Kings, only two of them had been left alive!

With those results, Vivian had told Minos that more of her family members could soon join the Dry City forces in this war of independence!

They still could not send all their people, as they had suffered during the years of war against that now almost extinct family. 

Such a thing had even been their excuse for not having to fulfill King Cromwell's order to fight on the Black Plain.

But even with not impressive numbers, it would already make a big difference to Minos' forces!

After talking about this, they had discussed other topics, among them some involving the Stokes family.

House Hayes and House Stokes had become much closer to each other because of their alliance with Minos. And precisely because of this, Vivian had brought some information about that organization.

The family of Mendy had not been offering much power to the forces of Minos because their alliance was more commercial than military. But that noble house of the Cromwell Kingdom was constantly sending resources to the Dry City, something that was not a bit less important than sending warriors.

After all, in the present times, the commercial situation of the Black Plain was not good at all due to the sanctions of regional powers imposed on this territory!

...

"Well, that was all I had to tell you," Vivian said after settling her official business with Minos.

Such a thing had lasted a few minutes. Because of this, by now, each of them had a cup with some kind of spiritual drink in their hands, while snacks brought by Minos' cooks were on a piece of furniture in the middle of that area.

As for Brooke and Davy, they had both remained silent while those two were talking about official matters, having only drunk and eaten alongside those other two.

Anyway, Minos then moved his back away from the support of that sofa, getting his elbows on his knees while looking in Davy's direction.

"I think the personal matters here relate to you, is that right, Davy?"

Vivian and Brooke then turned to that young man opposite Minos, feeling a bit of tension.

Vivian felt that because she knew more of the story of Minos and Davy than Brooke did, as well as everything she had ever heard from this young ruler.

As for Brooke, she could sense the provocative tone Minos had used when asking Davy that.

She knew Minos much more than Vivian, as, since the time of the Spiritual Academy, she had seen this young man using certain poses, ways of looking, and tone to speak to those who were his targets.

Therefore, she could not help but feel awkward at this moment while at the same time hoping that all of this would soon pass.

'What will happen now?' She wondered as she looked at Minos' back while one of her hands followed to one side of his waist.

But at that moment, Davy answered Minos' question. "Indeed, Minos. I asked my sister to bring me here because I wanted to talk to you."

"Oh?" Minos made a sound, not surprised. He then looked at Vivian and said. "I hope this isn't related to the promise I made..."

"Dillian hasn't reached level 60 yet, so we cannot get Davy's arm back yet."

But before Vivian could say anything, Davy himself answered Minos. "That's not what I want to talk about."

"And what is it about? Don't tell me you want to challenge me too?"

The two women then felt goosebumps in their bodies upon hearing such a thing, as if the climax of the conversation had finally arrived.

Gulp!

"No, I'm not an idiot." Davy smiled as he said that. "You were already able to defeat me when you were several levels below me, so now our difference has only widened."

"I know I'm no match for you!"

"Oh?"

'It seems he's not as foolish as those two...' Minos smiled in satisfaction, feeling that Davy was much more intelligent than Ford and Troy in some ways.

Troy could be an even more impressive genius than Davy when it came to cultivation or combat. But he had one flaw!

That was his boundless competitiveness.

It could be very advantageous in certain situations. Still, it also has its problems, especially when he stood against an opponent who was known to be much stronger than he was!

That might not have led to significant losses for him in the past, but people like Minos would not always stand in the way of individuals like Troy.

And when that happened, such stubborn people could lose all advantages regarding talent!

That's why Minos saw something better in this man without one arm than in those other two.

Davy at least knew how to recognize his limitations!

"So, what do you want?"

"I came all this way for one thing only..."
