Divine Emperor of Death

"I bet your elder sister knows why you were kept alive. Why don't you ask her?" Davis smiled but didn't reveal the answer, because only after a leaving a big impact could he make this young man turn into a reliable individual.

Glyn turned confused, he looked at his sister and asked, "Nina, you knew why?"

Nina bit her lips but didn't say anything and turned her gaze away.

Looking at her reaction, Glyn urged her to answer his question but received no reply, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

"You still haven't realized it?" Davis slowly asked.

Glyn slowly looked at him and Davis could see that the former's eyes held a hint of an answer.

Except, Glyn's mind was still in chaos and what Davis said next would cause him to change his personality forever.

"It's because you're her weakness."

"If it weren't for you, did you think that they could've captured her that easily? If it weren't for you, did you think that they could have chained her up? If it weren't for you, did you think that they could've made her this helpless?"

Not missing the beat, he closed in and whispered in his ears.

"Even after all this, if it weren't for you, using her revolving core to explode, she could've ended her life while protecting her innocence but because of you, she had to helplessly welcome the bandit leader into her arms, just to keep you alive, just to protect you!"

"How do you feel? Honored to have a sister like this?" Davis demonically whispered in his ears, causing Glyn to tremble all over.

He slowly looked towards his sister just to discover her trembling while looking at him.

She hurriedly consoled him and tried to change the topic, "No, that bandit leader didn't touch me yet, and for that, we have to thank our benefactor for this!"

"Nina, is it true?" Glyn tremblingly asked as his eyes were tearing up.

"What our benefactor said! Is it true?!"

Nina kept her mouth shut... her eyes avoided his gaze.

"Didn't you say our family was coming to save us? Didn't you say that the bandits were going to ransom us?" Tears fell down his eyes as he asked.

Davis's eyes flashed, 'So the sister told a lie to calm him down... That explains his gullibility...'

He certainly didn't expect this, such devotion and sacrifice, yet foolish to the extreme. But in his view, he could also see a deeply caring sister.

"Was it all a lie?" Glyn's voice trembled and he shouted.

"Elder sister!"

"... Yes." Nina finally confessed except she was also slowly crying her heart out as she sobbed, glad that she was able to save her brother and herself.

Her reply was like an arrow piercing his heart, Glyn shuddered and quickly ran to his sister and embraced her.

All he could mutter was that he was sorry, and he would no longer try to be willful and ignorant.

They both held each other and cried pathetically, but to Davis, it was the warmest scene that he had ever witnessed between a brother and a sister in reality.

Behind him, he noticed Lucia silently biting her lips while Lucas was holding his breath, trying hard to not cry.

He silently shook his head, not willing to laugh at their weird faces since they were youngsters experiencing the cruelty of the world first hand, besides he knew that they arrived by the time he finished beheading the bandit leader.

Also, he was thankful that they didn't question his actions and intervened, otherwise his act would've been ruined from the get-go.

When he looked back, they both immediately returned to their previous selves and smiled at him as if nothing happened.

Davis had to nod his head back at them, otherwise, it would certainly be awkward.

He smiled and looked back at the two hugging siblings again.

"So, is your family really coming or was that a lie?" Davis questioned, waiting for their reply.

The elder sister Nina, tidied herself up as she wiped the tears and blood away from her face.

"No, it is a lie... I could have contacted them but my spatial ring was already removed away from me, so I had no means to contact them."

"I see, why were you two captured?" Davis asked.

Nina turned confused.

Looking at her expression, Davis realized, "Ah, I was wrong, I should've asked how were you two captured?"

Nina understood and answered him truthfully, "We were on our way from Immu Town to Yuen City, but on our way, we were robbed while our entourage got cruelly massacred except for me and my brother..."

"At that time, I tried contacting my family but they... held Glyn hostage so I had no choice but to comply with their demands..."

Glyn put down his head in shame but determination flashed past his eyes as he secretly vowed to get stronger in his heart.

"I see..." Davis contemplated for a moment before asking a few more questions.

"What's your age?"

"... Twenty-four"

"What is your family's strength?"

"... Peak-Level Earth Grade."

"Are you married?"

"... No."

Wait! What was this? These questions... seemed like a marriage audience. Her thoughts turned chaotic for a moment! Although he was her benefactor, didn't he seem to be too young!?

"Then... lastly. For what reason were you on your way to Yuen City?"

Nina unconsciously hid something when she opened her mouth, "Because Yuen City is where my family is..."

"Is that all?" Davis glared at her as he felt that she was hiding something.

Nina grit her teeth and decided to be truthful, "I was returning there to get married!"

Even she didn't know why she chose to hide that information from him before.

Davis's eyes flashed, 'Too coincidental, no?'

"Look likes there's a mole in your family..." Davis casually uttered but didn't fail to notice the change in their expressions.

He smiled, "Looks like you two could already guess the perpetrator of this incident, that makes it easier..."

"Probably, your family already knows that you two were kidnapped by the bandits, if that is true, then even if you returned, your innocence will still be called into question."

Davis shook his head ruefully and left, followed by Lucas and Lucia.
