<h4>Chapter 1554 - Tension</h4>


    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, Isabe 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 rtionship for the many people who expected her to speak up or p him to death.


    "Kill!"


    Thorus tan suddenly uttered as he took a step forward, his eyes zing 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 tan, one step ahead. Davis’ sapphire eyes gleamed with coldness as he struck above with his feet, hitting right on Thorus tan’s chin.


    <strong>*Bang!~*</strong>


    It struck, sending Thorus tan flying above till he went and collided with the dome’s barrier. The barrier was like a bouncy sponge. It s.u.c.k.e.d 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.


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


    "My trashy ve, continue... How can you possibly attack my Isabe when even these shameless powerhouses were present? If you don’t tell the truth, I will y with your head, kicking it around as I see fit while not caring if it woulde 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 ce. 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 tan.


    "Yiah!~ Bastard!~"


    Davis instantly arrived in front of Thorus tan, who screamed like a bitch throwing a tantrum as he stood up from the dirt. Thorus tan threw a fist at him, stimted 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.


    Thorus tan’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 ande 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 tanmanded me to not injure Dragon Queen Isabe 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."


    <strong>*Crack!~*</strong>


    Thorus tan, 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.


    "borate it for everyone, my trashy ve..."


    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 ve 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 Isabe 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 Isabe, 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 ns.


    As long as they could capture Isabe, who would dare to make a move against them? They even thought they could use Isabe as leverage against the Dragon Families if the situation was favorable for them tomit 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 rmingly 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 tan.


    "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 tan was the one who allowed Devil Bane and Blood Thorn to make a move."


    "You...! What nonsesn-"


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


    "The other dragon families are equally responsible and aplices 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 rying 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 Isabe’s stark presence that instantly pped 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.


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


    "There was no Protector from the beginning, dumbass." Davis sneered, "I was protecting Isabe before the time your dragon families even noticed her presence. I managed to court her and seeded, marrying her like a few months ago, although it was done in secrecy. Even if you dragon families could not ept 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!?"


    Ovee by fury, Thorus tan instantly pounced at Davis. Intense undtions radiated from his body, his other fist bing covered in golden scales. It could be seen Thorus tan 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 tan.


    <strong>*Bang!~*</strong>


    Their fists connected, and Thorus tan’s entire arm ended up exploding into a fountain of blood, but before Thorus tan could even shriek in extreme pain, Davis’s fist was relentless and unstoppable as it reached Thorus tan’s c.h.e.s.t.


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