As a prideful Ninth Stage Powerhouse, Mival found it difficult to attach himself as a protector to this person. He felt that it was fine if he became a Protector for the Dragon Queen instead, as her status should be high enough to partially command numerous Ninth Stage Powerhouses while Davis's wasn't even close at the moment.
But that's what the gamble was for since the Dragon Queen would not require him as much as Davis would. This directly translates to higher benefits if Davis manages to become a powerhouse who can then begin to heal ninth-stage powerhouses with his soul force. No matter where he went, numerous powerhouses would invite him to their doors with open arms, but there was also the danger that they might try to trap and make use of him at this moment where he needed protection the most because of his weak cultivation.
