Divine Emperor of Death

"Then who could he be?" Lucia muttered but her eyes blazed with fury. 

Even if he was the Prince of a King Grade Empire, she was still determined to take her revenge one day, and shred him to pieces.

"Actually... Who were those people? Why would they try to hold hostile intent against you two?" Although Davis had an opinion, he wanted to verify it.

"They stand in opposition to our father, and belong under the wing of Vice-Leader Jawan." Lucas nonchalantly said while spreading his hands.

"Fools think that they can take over our Cloud Spring Mercenaries. Who knows when they would touch upon the wrath of our father?" Lucia faintly smiled at him. 

In her view, her father was all-powerful. It was probably the case with Lucas as well.

Davis nodded his head and didn't voice out his opinion. The last thing he wanted to do was get involved in an internal struggle.

"I feel reluctant to part with my loot but since you two obeyed my commands, I'll share one-third of my loot with you," Davis brushed off the topic as he took out 6 Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beast Cores.

Looking at his gesture, they both were stunned. 

Lucia smiled and shook her head, "Davis, we don't need it. It's better if you have those. As for us, we have our backing..."

Davis blinked, "Is that so?"

Just when he thought of storing it back, Lucas interrupted, "We'll accept it!" 

Davis looked and gave the six cores to him.

"Lucia, once we turn sixteen, we have to take care of ourselves. We would not be entitled to free resources anymore. Besides, in a few months, we would have to leave for Falling Snow Sect. At that time, we would have to compete for resources like everyone else." 

A teasing smile sprung up on Lucas's face, "Do you really want to decline his kind intentions?" 

Lucia's face turned red from embarrassment. She hatefully glared at him before snatching three of the cores from his hand.

"Where are your manners?" Lucas was enjoying it while he could.

Lucia trembled slightly as she felt her pride taking a huge hit, "Thank you, Davis..."

Davis revealed a smile on his face on hearing her meek voice.

Then he spoke, "Now that we've taken care of the Five-Clawed Rats, I suggest we return to the headquarters to complete the mission and continue..." 

"No... that's roundabout. We can go hunt the Steel Back Boars in the Forest of Kyle and then head northwest to a Kingdom named the Uriel Kingdom. There we have a branch of Cloud Spring Mercenaries, so it's possible for us to submit and complete the mission there!" Lucas cut off Davis and explained.

'Ah! They finally proved themselves useful...' Davis thought about it for a moment before nodding his head.

.....

After finishing formalities with the head guard of Jie Ming Town, they left the place, heading north.

They crossed three to four towns and left Loseris Kingdom's border before they arrived at the Forest of Kyle.

"Elder Brother, stop staring at her!" Lucia slapped Lucas's head causing him to flinch.

"Hey! It's not like I'm going to become a depraved person like the exiled prince! Stop hitting me!" Lucas pointed at her and shouted.

"Hmph! You can't fool me! The way you were staring at her twin peaks were obvious. Besides, why are you bringing that debauched man into the conversation? Do you want to die?" Lucia narrowed her eyes and twisted her fists.

"Alright, you two, stop fighting." Davis tiredly uttered as he moved forwards.

They both glanced at each other and harrumphed in displeasure. This was already the umpteenth time they were constantly fighting with each other.

Davis had long ago guessed the reason they were fighting with each other. It was mostly because of Lucas, who humiliated Lucia in front of him. He could tell the Lucia was being childish and to this, he could only shake his head.

As for the Exiled Prince, they passed through a rather poor city and managed to see the City Lord passing by the road in a carriage with a bevy of beauties on his lap and arms.

Davis could tell that the City Lord had a Cultivation at the Peak of Fourth Stage while also living the life of debauchery.

Lucas then informed him that he was the exiled prince of the Low-Level Sky Grade Kingdom named, Uriel Kingdom.

Evidently, the Exiled Prince plucked the yin of a Marquis's daughter, which in turn caused the whole Marquis's Family to rebel.

Even though they managed to survive it with few casualties, it caused a storm of bad reputation to circulate in the surrounding regions causing the royal family to want to strangle him to death.

But since he was the Crown Prince and the favorite of the King at that time, he was just exiled to be the lord of a mere City.

Lucia unmistakably used him as an example to make trouble with Lucas and get revenge for the humiliation she received before.

But the reason for their verbal battle now?

Davis looked at the beauty standing in front of them alongside a group of mercenaries.

She looked incredibly busty with naturally endowed curves even while wearing the Cloud Spring Mercenaries uniform.

Her face was far from average and her demeanor commanded respect from the whole group, yet their eyes couldn't help but fall on her from time to time.

To this woman whose charm brought the surrounding eyes to fall on her, Davis silently mused, 'Femme Fatale...'

They were quite a distance from that group.

"Tch, they had already started hunting way before us. I hope there are quite a few Steel Back Boars left in the forest or we would have come in vain..." Lucia muttered in a displeased tone.

She then secretly glanced at her budding chest before heaving a sigh of relief.

A few seconds later, they could see the group approach them while the woman of their topic, led the group in their direction.

"Young Master Lucas and Young Miss Lucia, I didn't think you two would come here. Are you also here to hunt Steel Back Boars?" 

Davis was stunned after hearing her voice which sounded melodious to the extreme. If possible, it made him want to listen to this voice all his life.

"Miss Ophelia, please don't tease me with your charm arts. My legs are already getting weak from your voice..." Lucas muttered as his legs trembled while exposing an ugly smile on his face.
