Divine Emperor of Death

'However, it isn't all good... By their words, it seems that they're connected with the Second Prince of the Ethren Empire. This spells bad news since the Second Prince might recognize this slave of mine...'

'Perhaps I can disfigure my slave but undulations unique to a person can't be faked. Well, it can be faked but it is difficult to do so...'

'Taking him to the Ethren Empire clearly isn't feasible...'

Davis thought with all seriousness. If he wanted to take this person as his slave, then he might need to either move to another city or silence the Second Prince, Keith Ethren through some methods!

The leader's lips trembled as fear grew in his heart. He couldn't take this feeling anymore as he screamed!

"Bastard!!! I'm talking to you!!! You motherf..."

"Shut up!"

Davis bellowed in a solemn tone.

The leader widened his eyes in shock. He couldn't open this mouth nor move his tongue. Heck, he couldn't even make some sound through his throat! His heart that was filled with fear further fell into the abyss!

He couldn't understand how this seemingly harmless her mysterious man could control him; an Eighth Stage Expert!!!

'Could it be!!!!???'

The leader thought of Davis to be a Ninth Stage Existence! Ninth Stage Powerhouses were unknown to him! Nevertheless, he didn't know that he was exaggeratingly wrong about Davis.

Davis frowned in displeasure. His killing intent further increased, however, he tried to keep himself calm. He couldn't decide whether to keep this slave alive or dead.

"..."

He suddenly blinked and tapped his left palm with his right fist, "Let's make Evelynn decide!"

Smilingly at the mercenary leader in a mocking light, he waited for a few minutes among the dust cloud swelling over the entire area.

The cloud smoke shook and Nadia arrived while Evelynn threw herself to Davis seeing that he is safe. She thought things had become dire, so she let herself be taken away by Nadia, not willing to become a burden. Her eyes were moist as she felt herself to be useless again.

But she didn't know that even Davis was useless against an Eighth Stage Expert! If it weren't for Fallen Heaven, he would just be another 'better than an average genius' in the First Layer.

Her worry is unjustified and unneeded.

Davis caressed her back and pushed her away. He then looked at his the man he recognized as his slave, "Tell me Evelynn, should we kill this deranged person who targeted you? Or should we make use of him as the slave he is?"

Evelynn blinked first, not understanding his words but then when she looked at that the person was still alive, her mouth became agape.

She turned to look at her husband in shock, "You... You managed to make him your slave!?"

Nadia also similarly let out a shocked expression as she blinked. She took a step back in fear, thinking that this human had endless methods to fight higher stage opponents.

When she left, she was quite sure that Davis was going to die but contrary to her expectations, he survived, and not only did he survive, he made the Eighth Stage Expert his slave!

"Well, not quite but you could say that..." Davis pursed his lips as he let out a languid laugh.

Evelynn became speechless.

'He has mysterious methods to make Eighth Stage Experts his slave?' Evelynn gulped both in fear and excitement. She became instantly glad this person was her husband and not her enemy.

Her eyes flashed with a knowing glint. She is a bright woman so she knew what to ask and what not to...

She pursed her lips and her look became serious, "Is there no consequences in keeping hi... your slave alive?

Davis became heartened that she didn't first think about revenge but how to effectively use the Eighth Stage Expert. He explained most of the consequences he could think of...

He then turned to his slave and asked, "You... What's your relation with the Second Prince? Explain it detailedly..."

The suave person who found out difficult to talk suddenly felt his mouth open while he felt like spilling everything he knew!

"His Highness Keith Ethren and I are in a close cooperative relationship. I do his dirty work and his highness provides me with resources to grow. In fact, the first time we had contact is when I gifted my fiancee to him. Now she is none other than his fifth wife!"

"Cuck?" Davis became speechless.

He instantly felt he was wrong and there was a different term to describe this situation but he didn't ponder on it too much since the other party didn't even seem to be regretful of losing his fiancee.

Evelynn also had expression turn a few notches colder. The thought to spare this person from the life of a slave was almost completely erased from her mind, making her want to kill him by herself!

Davis pursed his lips, "What else has the Second Prince tasked you with?"

"Within a year, his highness tasked me to hunt another Low-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast to fill the banquet for his ascension to the Throne next year!"

"His Highness asked me to keep an eye on one of the Third Prince's subordinates who enters the Conferred Queen's residence and to also abduct his second granddaughter on his Highness's command!"

"If possible, find clues to the Conferred Queen, Isabella's background!"

The man's suave expression fell as his lips trembled. He didn't know how he was just blabbering all this the moment he thought about it!

'I'm dead! I'm dead!!! This person is a true expert!!!'

He wanted to plead but couldn't even talk. Only tears started to flow out of his eyes.

If he knew that he was crying because of a Sixth Stage Cultivator, then perhaps, he would prefer to commit suicide just as his second brother!

Davis and Evelynn obviously didn't show that they had anything to do with the Conferred Queen. As if they had a tacit understanding, they didn't reveal that they even knew of the Conferred Queen.

However, Davis was already shocked inwardly by his second statement!

Third Prince's subordinate?

Enters the Conferred Queen's residence?

Even though there were many officials who entered the residence, they were all sent back away after being entertained in the outer courtyard.

As for the person who entered the Conferred Queen's residence and has the capacity to tell what it was like, it was none other than Agis Stirlander!

Davis's stiff expression relaxed.

"Heh! Look at that! Even a deranged person like him has the nerve to cry! It's obvious that he's pleading for his life... What shall we do, Evelynn? Shall we spare him?" Davis had a sarcastic expression on his face.

Evelynn, who had a cold look turned to look at Davis.

"We should kill him. He rather has strong ties to the Second Prince of the Ethren Empire... Besides..." Evelynn turned to look at the beheaded bodies of the women and the woman who still stayed blank despite her abuser cum master became a slave himself.

She returned her gaze to the slave and opened her mouth, "This type of person absolutely doesn't deserve to live!"

"You are right..." Davis pursed his lips and looked at the slave whose eyes severely trembled from terror.

"Say, by Third Prince's subordinate, what is their name?"

"This slave doesn't know..."

The leader became horrified because he realized that he had addressed himself as a slave. This meant that deep inside, he knew that he had recognized himself to be a slave!

After all, only what was embedded in his will, his memories were spoken out. He didn't know what kind of terrifying technique was being used on him!
