Chapter 24 Ambitions And Hypocrisy



"David Asvold!" Arthur muttered in his heart and stared at the man on the throne!

His fire-red hair and piercing eyes were as red as the flames!

His figure was like a fire god who descended on the world and could burn anything in sight.

Although he did not look handsome, his majesty and dignified figure were there, which made others subconsciously bow when meeting him.

Moreover, the pressure exerted was truly terrifying.

Soon, he felt David\'s aura, and he widened his eyes in shock.

A late-stage Elemental Saint!

How is that possible?!

In the novel, it was told that he was in the middle stage, and after his rebellion, he had only set foot in the late-stage Elemental Saint!

Now, there were still a dozen years before the imperial arc began and this variable appeared.

How could he not be horrified?

If he waited for the imperial arc to start, which was a dozen years in the future, wouldn\'t he have set foot on the Elemental Supreme stage and be equivalent to the pinnacle of this world?

Arthur really felt stupid, and his resolve was really shaken now.

He felt that all the plots of the novel did not go according to the routine he remembered.

Several variables appeared in succession, including a history that did not exist in the novel and David\'s power, which did not match the description in the book. These discrepancies made him wonder once again whether this was truly the world of the novel he had read.

Was it really that bad of a memory?

However, he didn\'t feel that way; after all, his talent and ability were there.

He suddenly thought in horror and guessed.

"Was the author of the novel and the reason I\'m in this world related to him all along?" Arthur felt goosebumps and sensed that someone was controlling him.

However, he soon calmed down and regained his composure.

Whether he was really being controlled or not was really unknown.

Now discard all the strange thoughts and focus on David standing in front of him.

He was uncertain about how David would treat him now that he had realized many aspects of this world did not match those in the novel.

Soon, David\'s majestic and powerful voice reached his ears.

"Are you coming?" David, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened them and looked at Arthur sharply.

Arthur felt a sense of horror, but he quickly strengthened his resolve.

He returned David\'s gaze with a sharp look, and there was no fear in his small figure.

The old servant, who had been silent until then, immediately bowed and spoke respectfully.

"Lord!"

"I have brought the young master safely."

David immediately turned his gaze to the old servant and spoke lightly.

"Thank you for your escort, butler."

The old servant, who turned out to be the butler of Duke Asvold\'s mansion, immediately said respectfully, "No, Lord! It is an obligation for me to carry out your duties."

David nodded lightly, and there was no expression on his face as if a god were gazing at a mortal.

"Well, you can go out, butler," David said to the butler, and he immediately turned his attention to Arthur.

The butler bowed once more and disappeared into the void.

Arthur, who had been silent and paying attention to their conversation, was immediately surprised to find out that the old man was the butler of the Duke\'s mansion!

A figure below one person and above ten thousand people!

However, when David told the butler to leave and looked back at him, Arthur felt the nervousness in his heart, but his face remained as innocent as ever.

What would his behavior be in the future?

No one could say for sure.

However, Arthur knew that David would not dare to mess with him since he was the sole heir to Duke Asvold\'s mansion.

His task now was to focus on cultivating his strength until he could take control of his own destiny and defeat all of his enemies!

Soon, David\'s majestic voice sounded in his ears.

"When you met the Emperor, what was your attitude?" David spoke coldly to Arthur, and a very strong pressure suddenly attacked him, which made him suddenly kneel down.

Shit!

Arthur cursed in his heart, and he didn\'t expect that the first thing David said to him was "Kneel to the Emperor?"

Sure enough, his nature had not changed at all, and he had always regarded himself as the Emperor!

Despite a slight deviation, Arthur was certain that his nature had not changed at all.

However, he knew that his current position was not favorable, and he needed to adopt the right attitude.

He couldn\'t reveal a level of position and intelligence that did not match his age, or he would be finished.

After all, his nature was still the same as David\'s in the novel: thirsty for power and intolerant of anyone who threatened him!

"Greetings, Duke," Arthur said shakily as the pressure he was under made him unable to stand up at all.

He really hated this David figure, whether in the novel or in this world.

However, he knew that he was now as weak as a chicken in front of David.

Be reasonable and take revenge the next day.

David finally showed a rare smile on his face, and he said it with a little excitement.

"Good!" David said.

"This is what you should do when you meet this Emperor. I forgive you now, my son." He let out a light laugh, and his regal demeanor disappeared, replaced by arrogance.

Arthur really wanted to punch his arrogant face.

However, on the surface, he kept a pale and trembling face.

"Well, Duke, thank you for your apology," Arthur said with fear on his tiny face.

David nodded lightly and looked at Arthur sharply.

"Your handsome face inherited your mother\'s beauty, and I am quite pleased with it," David spoke lightly as if appraising an item.

Arthur really wanted to kill the person in front of him right now.

He had never killed and had had a very strong killing intent since he came to this world.

Except for the protagonist, Abel, David was the second one who really awakened his killing intent,

However, he could only smile innocently on the surface and speak tremblingly.

"Thank you, my lord." Arthur said

"You don\'t need to call me with such honor." David replied.

"After all, you are the future heir to Duke Asvold\'s mansion and also my son!"

David smiled happily, and the pressure Arthur had felt immediately disappeared.

Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, bowing his body.

"Thank you, my lord."

"I mean, dad."

David nodded his head and spoke lightly.

"Well, you can go and rest in your room," David said.

"After all, you have traveled quite far, and you must be very tired." He spoke with a worried tone that suited a typical loving father.

Arthur, who could read people\'s expressions and words, felt the hypocrisy in his words.

Still pretending to be a good father?

Hehehe

Arthur sneered in his heart, and an innocent smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, dad."

"Thank you for your concern."

"Then, I\'d like to ask for permission."

Arthur bowed his small body and spoke respectfully.

David nodded his head and smiled.

*Boom!

Soon, Arthur walked out of the hall, and the main hall door closed on its own.

...

"What do you think?"

David spoke to himself as if there was someone by his side.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ His affectionate gaze toward Arthur had now vanished, replaced by a look of cynicism.

Soon, a voice that was neither male nor female could be heard in the hall.

"Very suitable."

"He doesn\'t have a strong talent as an Elemental."

"At most, the power he can reach at his peak in the future is a nine-core Elemental which certainly won\'t threaten you."

Immediately, the voice disappeared as if it had never existed.

David, who heard that, smiled arrogantly and spoke excitedly.

"Well, I can control him in the future as my puppet."

His heir status will be the perfect rope to control him.

Immediately after speaking, he gazed out of the wide-open, luxurious window, sweeping his gaze thousands of kilometers away to a palace of incredible luxury.

"Just a little more!" he said.

"I will become the new Emperor of the Balka Empire."

David spoke coldly and then immediately disappeared into the void.

...

Arthur emerged from the hall and turned his gaze towards his back.

His purple eyes suddenly brightened as he stared at the giant, closed door.

Soon, his eyes returned to normal, and without knowing what he was thinking, he quickly walked down the long hallway and disappeared.
