Chapter 164: Sharing Wealth
Kristo Ashton who was by her side looked at her and rolled his eyes. He then sighed and stepped forward, taking out a table from his spatial ring.
"Here are all the free spoils I gained through plundering the corpses which were killed by Prince Davis!" He calmly and indifferently said as he looked at those youths while he took out 32 spatial rings and placed it on the table with a slight grin on his face.
Looking at the number of spatial rings, numerous eyes flashed with greed when suddenly an aura flared out with a solemn voice, "Place down the spoils or I shall have the heads of those who insulted my daughter!"
"Emperor Ashton, this isn't appr…" Emperor Ross faintly frowned.
"This is my ultimatum. You can choose whether to place the spoils or not!" Emperor Ashton indifferently replied, but bothering to see their reactions.
"Children, go place down the loots you gained on that table…" Emperor Ruth sighed and instructed which made the youths of the Ruth Family sigh in dissatisfaction.
But they still heeded his words and stepped forward to place their spoils one by one.
"What are your all looking at? Go place yours too!" Emperor Claymore coldly spat out.
He didn't like to do this but he certainly wasn't an ungrateful person. After hearing Shirley's speech, he felt like he owed Davis for some reason which he didn't clearly like, causing him to not bicker with this matter.

Why did these old pricks suddenly become righteous and grateful all of a sudden? He couldn't understand, nor did he want to understand because his greed was invoked from having gained all those spatial rings which could only be probably earned in another 100 years through various means.
He certainly didn't want to give it up for some stupid reason such as being grateful.
"Don't bark, just give up the loots or you'll make us force you to hand over it!" Emperor Ashton added as he looked at Emperor Ross.
Hearing that, Emperor Ross looked at the other Emperors reaction and gritted his teeth while spreading his hands, "Fine! You all! Why are you still waiting? Go place the spoils!" He knew that if he did not comply, those three might forcefully take it from him, leading to more loss of face and members, which he didn't absolutely want!
The experts, who were the onlookers were filled with greed while looking at those 200 spatial rings. But they didn't take any action as they knew that their body would be filled with holes, caused by those four families.
The youths only consisted of these four families since the youths of Tritor and Raven Empire who were placed on the top 200 were killed after the Grand Sea Continent Meet. The four families took a decision and placed their own youths in this line-up, filling up the empty slots to explore the secret entrance.
"40 spatial rings of unknown contents for each family… I believe that this should be enough, no?" Emperor Ashton slowly said as he glanced at them.
The four emperors verified that all of those spatial rings were sealed, and even some people who were secluded cultivators came to verify those spatial rings as witnesses.
They emperors all nodded and randomly took 40 each, leaving only 40 spatial rings on the table, causing them to suddenly hesitate about a matter.
"Who will carry these to the Loret Empire? Who is trustworthy?" Someone echoed out causing the crowd to turn abuzz with discussion.
They started to concoct their own devious plans when suddenly a voice echoed out.
"Since I was the one who gave the idea! I will personally see to it that it will be delivered!" Shirley said with a serious expression on her face.
Emperor Ashton looked at his daughter with a shocked gaze as he thought, 'This haughty girl still didn't give up? How did that brat make her be like this?'
He was truly dumbfounded.
She stepped out bravely and swiped with her hand, making those 40 spatial rings disappear.
"I believe there are no objections?" She asked calmly, causing their expressions to change.
They promptly knew that they had lost the chance to do anything about it.
No voices echoed out, causing Emperor Ashton to nod his head in satisfaction because he was glaring at them the whole time while Shirley took the spatial rings.
"Since all of your spoils are safe with us, you people don't have to worry that someone will target you! Now go back and search for the entrance to the other side before the distorted space closes up!" Emperor Ruth shouted out, not bothering with their replies.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe wanted to find the entrance to the other side so he could verify the safety of his daughter as soon as possible.
Looking at the outsiders sending their Fifth Stage Experts to death like cannon-fodder left him truly insecure.
All the other youths reluctantly left while Shirley stayed because she had an enormous amount of wealth on her right now.
"Father will personally accompany you to the Loret Empire once this is over…" Emperor Ashton softly said.
Shirley nodded slightly and acknowledged, "Hmm…"
He sighed, not knowing what to think of her plight.
But as a father, he at least wanted to support whatever she wanted to do, on whatever he thought was right in her actions so that she might recover and move on.
After this, the crowd waited until the distorted space tunnel closed, but it made them frown as no new enemies arrived from the other side, causing them to be quite confused.
The opening of this realm was quite an avid experience for them, causing them to shake their heads as they thought of a certain person.
And naturally, the youths returned before the secret entrance closed, still not able to discover the path to the other side.
To this, they could only sigh again as they did so for more than thousands of years.
