"Drake." David looked at him.

"Hm?" The family leader Drake at that point didn't even behave at all like the Borne Family leader. He suddenly felt enticed and hypnotized by the gaze of that black robed youth before him. One second later, his gaze grew dark, and he looked at David with passionate respect, "Master!"

"Hm." David stood in the clouds. Looking at Drake before him, he said "Let me ask you, do you know who has blood river crystals? Does your Persian family have any?"

"Yes!" Drake said without hesitation.

"Where are they?" David's eyes gleamed.

"With my family's elder." Drake replied respectfully.

"Elder?" David frowned. He had heard of a powerful celestial within the family, however he hadn't really confirmed that before.

"Yes, the strongest in the Persian family, also the strongest in Heaven Devour city." Drake said, "The blood river crystal is with him. However, even though he acquired that one, no matter how he tried, he couldn't absorb it. Hence the city leader position landed in the Rothwell family's hands instead."

"Your family elder is stronger than the city leader?" David had heard from him.

"Yes." Drake said respectfully. "The city leader just became a World level over a hundred years ago. According to the elder, he can only be considered to be within the early stages of the World level! However my family elder is in the later stages already."

David's heart skipped a beat.

From the looks of it, the city leader was about celestial level 2 or 3. Afterall, he had only broken through over a hundred years ago. Normal people breaking through required them to slowly absorb the energy. To go from level 1 to 9 required a very long time. Even in the universe, only the most elite of geniuses could receive nurture like David's, as there was no need to waste time in such quantity related training.

"Other than your family's elder, who else has the crystals?" David asked.

"The ones I can confirm are the elder. Another is the general of the Heaven Devour army Zane." Drake said. "Zane, he is the younger brother of city leader Rothwell Mane, he's on good terms with me. Back then he even took out a crystal to show off to me, saying it was something his older brother gave him to absorb."

"Ah? One is with your family elder, another is with Zane?" David smiled and nodded.

... 

Under the influence of the soul technique, the Persian family leader answered everything honestly, there wasn't any hint of concealing anything.

"Very good." David stood within the clouds and asked, "Do you know if anyone else has the crystals?"

The process of becoming a blood warrior, required one to first acquire 3 blood river crystals and absorb them successful. Only then would they truly be considered to have become a blood warrior! Once David knew of the blood warrior and even the legendary black warrior, he naturally had some anticipation within. He wanted to first become a blood warrior and maybe later a black warrior.

Even though in blood river world, the black warrior was but a legend, since such a legend existed, there was a possibility of it happening.

And obviously, with David's personality, he wouldn't give up without trying.

Everyone all regarded themselves as special and different! David was the same, only that he knew himself better than anyone!

"Master, I can confirm that the family elder and the general of the Rothwell army have the crystals. The rest, I'm unable to guarantee. Although, there are some rumors." Drake replied respectfully.

"Rumors?" David frowned.

"Yes, It is about our city leader Rothwell Mane. Even though I am unable to confirm if he has the crystals and how many he might have." Drake said, "I can say with high possibility…that the city leader Rothwell Mane definitely has at least 1 that he hasn't absorbed."

"Ah?" David looked at Drake.

"Rothwell Mane has an illustrious background, his teacher is the world city leader of this side of the world." Drake explained. "He succeeded in absorbing one crystal a long time ago. He had to wait till he broke through to World level, after which he quickly became the city leader. And after that, he secretly gave his younger brother 1 crystal."

"To warriors, having more crystals is a good thing. After absorbing one, they would want to absorb another!"

"Since he could give his younger brother 1 crystal, that means that it wasn't too hard for him to acquire more, at least there's a way for him." Drake said confidently, "And with Rothwell Mane's selfish personality, to be able to give his younger brother just one means he would at least have 1 more prepared for himself. I suspect he probably even has more!"

David nodded.

It made sense.

...

After which, David immediately killed Drake and took care of his body. In the dark night, he returned to Heaven Devour city's Levitating Petal palace.

Persian family was deeply rooted within Heaven Devour city. It's roots went far deeper than the Rothwell family. If they were to be angered, the entire Heaven Devour city would definitely feel their wrath.

Persian family mansion, in the 1st level of that 3 level purple wood palace, Mane squinted his eyes in his seat. The rest of the upper echelon of the family along with his grandchildren stood obediently at his sides. Within the large hall knelt 10 people, and outside of the hall knelt a 100.

"Grandfather, these are all the sentries and guard leaders from Torqe's mansion. They all personally saw Torqe bring a black robed man." An old man with white hair, one that looked even older than Persian Prince said respectfully.

"Speak, what did that black robed man look like?" Persian Prince closed his eyes and said indifferently.

"No idea." The old man shook his head.

"Hm?" Persian Prince revealed a look of rage. He stared hard, his gaze was shooting out visible light beams at the old man.

"They, the 100 of them all saw the black robed man, however none of them can recall his appearance." The old man continued, "Back then, they didn't feel anything special about it. Just that this black robed man was very normal and there was nothing special about him. However now when they try and recall, his face appears blurred out in their memories, other than him wearing a black robe, they can't recall anything else."
