Chapter 477-Elena
Dave opened his eyes and found himself back in Hannah's room. He looked around, seeing a pink bed and a picture of a beautiful woman carrying a girl—presumably Hannah.
The woman in the image was likely her mother, who, Dave learned, had passed away in an accident.
Hannah held some hard feelings towards her father, the Wizard King, who never showed up, not even during her mother's burial.
Despite her personal issues, Dave understood the Wizard King's importance as the main support of this world.
If anything were to happen to them, chaos would break loose.
After thinking it over, Dave summoned Ronin and told him to gather info about this world and set up their branch in it.
Ronin quickly went into action, telling his men to start building their branch.
In just 30 minutes, Ronin returned with helpful info. Dave read the reports, learning about the world, the five Wizard Kings, and the Aquaria Continent he was currently at.
He also found out about a demonic threat in the world, with the Demon Lord of Wrath aiming to conquer it by spreading spies and armies.
Having all this info, Dave made his plans and allowed Ronin to continue with his tasks.
The reports hinted at a potential clash between the Wizard Kings and the invading demons, a situation that caught Dave's interest.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The Demon Lord of Wrath couldn't easily enter this world, so he dispatched his demon generals and higher-ups to form contracts with others and conquer the realm.
According to Ronin's report, the five Wizard Kings held five keys that could unlock a special realm, but the purpose of the demonic invasion was still unclear.
Dave pondered the situation. If the Wizard Kings already possessed the keys why they are not using them? Why were the demons targeting this world?
There had to be something valuable, but without more information, he couldn't be sure. Nonetheless, Dave felt prepared with the knowledge he had.
As he considered these matters, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Using his senses, he saw a beautiful woman standing at the door, radiating a strong aura that indicated she was likely a 9-tier wizard.
Even if she manages to hide it perfectly, it cannot escape his eyes.
"Little Hannah, are you in? Auntie wants to talk to you," she said.
Clank!
Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing a handsome man standing in front of Elena, the woman who had knocked moments ago and Prince Joaquin's mother.
Elena, upon seeing Dave, felt a momentary fascination, but she quickly became wary, realizing she couldn't see through him.
"Who are you? And where is Hannah?" she asked, concern etched on her face.
Dave met her gaze with a calm expression.
"Hmm, she's in the middle of training. It's best not to disturb her," he replied calmly.
Elena, still worried, examined him closely.
"So, you're the one she made a contract with? I heard rumors that you're mysterious, and it seems they're true,"
Elena said, voicing her concerns about Hannah and seeking information about the nature of the contract and the being Hannah had formed it with.
She had promised Hannah's mother to take care of her niece, and ensuring her safety was her top priority.
Dave smiled reassuringly, "You don't need to worry about her. She'll grow stronger through this training."
Elena, finding relief in his words, understood that harm to the summoner would also harm the one they formed a contract with, following the established rules.
"Now that she's fine, do you mind having a little chat with me, Mister?"
Elena asked, wanting to discuss Hannah's well-being and understand more about the mysterious figure in front of her.
Curiosity fueled Elena's questions as she sought to unravel the mystery behind Dave's origin.
His aura felt unfathomable, and despite standing at the pinnacle of power in this world, Elena couldn't shake the sense of danger emanating from him.
With a smile, Dave nodded, finding no reason to decline the conversation. He, too, was interested in learning more about this continent.
. . . . . . . . . .
In a serene courtyard, the handsome man and the beautiful woman sat, sipping tea while keenly observing each other.
"So, mister, what should I call you?"
Elena inquired, trying to grasp some understanding of the enigmatic figure before her.
Dave, maintaining a straight face, responded, "My name is Dave, just an ordinary guy with a huge dic... heart."
A subtle mischievousness lingered in his words, leaving Elena momentarily stunned by the unexpected reply. She quickly composed herself.
"So, it's Mister Dave. What world do you come from, and what is your motive?"
Elena questioned, releasing a strong aura in the process.
Despite her efforts, Dave remained unruffled, meeting her gaze with a calm expression.
"Hmm, interesting," Dave chuckled before responding, "Hehe, is it like others? To make my soul stronger and obtain more rewards?"
Laughter filled the air as he mentioned the common motives behind forming contracts with other beings.
Unconvinced, Elena pressed, "What world did you come from?"
She sought to uncover his origins.
With a smile, Dave replied, "Hehe, I will tell you my origins as long as you reply to my question."
His confidence left Elena intrigued, prompting her to ask, "What is it?"
Dave's smile persisted as he dropped a bombshell, "Are you really a mother? Why can I sense that you are still a virgin?"
Instantly, a massive ice spike materialized in front of Dave, stopping at his neck.
Elena, wearing a dangerous expression, demanded, "Who are you?"
Shocked that her secret had been unveiled, she contemplated killing Dave to protect this revelation.
However, she quickly realized that her attacks were futile against his impenetrable defense.
It seemed like a space barrier was erected, preventing her attacks from reaching him.
"Hehe, looks like I was right. Oh, my sense of smell isn't rusty. As expected of me,"
Dave praised himself before turning his attention to Elena, deciding to reprimand her.
"Hehe, I already forgive you for showing your aura. But now you didn't hesitate to attack me, huh? Looks like I need to punish you a little bit. I like fierce women."
Suddenly, all the Aether energy in the courtyard vanished, and the ice energy she used to attack Dave dissipated.
Boom!
Elena was stunned, realizing she couldn't feel her Aether Energy, as if she was separated from the real world.
"What?" She found herself powerless, stripped of her ability to fight back.
Dave walked towards her, lifted her chin, and said, "Interesting. Tell me your origin, or do you want me to force myself to use force and search your soul."
Elena trembled, realizing Dave was so strong that she couldn't fight back at all.
She regretted offending him, but she clenched her fist, unwilling to back down.
"You asked for this."

Suddenly, the surroundings became cold, and Dave found himself inside Elena's domain. Despite the cold, he remained unfazed.
"What?"
Elena was shocked because her cold energy was potent enough to freeze even a peak 9-tier wizard, yet Dave seemed unaffected.
"Tsk, this mere ice is weaker than my Heavenly Ice Fragment,"
Dave sneered, flicking his fingers, making the surroundings even chillier.
Elena realized her domain was being overtaken by Dave's ice powers.
Boom!
Boom!
Elena was blasted, her domain destroyed in an instant. Shocked, she experienced someone shattering her domain for the first time.
"Give up already, woman,"
Dave smiled, acknowledging that he had taken on the role of the villain.
Elena clenched her fist, realizing the vast gap between them.
