Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 436 Familiar Voice

Evelynn bit her lips gloomily as she realized that she had misunderstood his intentions. She realized Davis had been only checking out their souls, not their flaunting skin.

She had actually thought of letting him sleep with that woman to curb his desire for the other two women, Ellia and Princess Shirley from getting out of control.

Once again, she silently berated herself, thinking that she did not have his best interests in her mind and only sought to act on our selfishness.

Davis had been intently looking at his wife's expression from the moment he had been suspected of 'checking out' another woman. From her tone, he found exasperation as well as a sense of frustration.

He did not comment on her oddness as he calmed down, instead, he extended his hands towards the food as he started to eat.

Watching Davis start, the appetite that was lost came back as she too hurriedly picked the food to eat. After all, she didn't want to end up with no food placed on the table without filling her stomach.

They munched and chewed the tiger meat, however, Evelynn's eyes darted to a certain piece of meat from time to time.

Davis noticed it and finally took that piece of meat to eat. He held it in his hands and asked in a teasing voice, "You want it?"

"Eek..." Evelynn instantly shook her head, "Who would want to even eat that?"

Davis laughed as he took a bite from it. He was also initially aversed to this type of meat but he had gradually come to not mind it after being repeatedly given in the Royal Castle for dinner and special occasions.

"This type of meat is quite useless to females. The Sapphire Sky Tiger's penis can also be used as an ingredient to create a yang-type aphrodisiac which affects men."

Davis winked at her, "I even know how to make it, wanna try in the bed?"

"Shameless!" Evelynn spat out from her teeth in frustration.

Davis laughed, "The pill that could be created from it is only at the Peak-Level Earth Grade. Although it could slightly affect my senses, it would not be able to turn me crazy for women."

"If I had Sky Grade Pill recipes that are compatible with this ingredient, then I can make one such pill to enhance our 'experience'."

Looking at her intently listening to him, Davis inwardly laughed.

Soon enough, they finished eating their meal and was just about to return to their room but suddenly, a shout echoed out.

"I'm going to fucking kill that bastard!" Suddenly, a furious voice echoed around the inn.

Everyone's attention turned to a table that was somewhere in the middle of the inn.

The black-robed figure who shouted promptly sat back as if she regained back her senses.

The voice echoed from the black-robed figure was a womanly voice, melodious yet it was seething with anger.

A few moments after the black-robed figure sat, the ones who were viewing her group lost their interest as they reverted back to their ramblings, creating a noisy atmosphere rather than the previously silent one.

Davis sat as he looked towards the source of the voice, his eyes narrowed while a sense of familiarity enveloped his mind.

"Davis?"

He turned to look at Evelynn, "I think I know her..."

"Who?" Evelynn turned confused.

"Lucia..." Davis spoke as he inclined his chin to direct his gaze at the black-robed figure.

He sent his soul sense towards her and sighed.

A woman with a charming yet raging face, possessing a sharp eye that looked familiar to him was displayed in his soul sense. Her nose and her small lips made her look adorable but the sense of charm was nowhere to be seen while her black hair was concealed by the hood od the black robe.

As expected, it was her, Lucia of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

Lucia's expression was furious as it could be, a faint amount of killing intent enveloping her entire body while she trembled. Her severe expression and her clenched hands which held a jade stone told Davis how angry and helpless she was.

However, he couldn't understand why other than the fact that she received a message from someone. The table she sat along with a few other black-robed figures was enveloped in a silent yet gloomy atmosphere.

He couldn't get any information if they were silent all the time.

Nevertheless, he let out a gasp as he turned astonished, "What are they doing here?"

It was the two siblings he saved in the Farz Mountains from the bandit leader; Nina and Glyn.

Their presence in this place along with Lucia said that they managed to take care of their internal struggle back home. Their solemn yet steady eyes and especially their decisive expressions indicated that they were tempered by the reality of the world.

A few seconds later, Glyn opened his mouth in worry.

"Lucia, what happened?"

Lucia had her gaze on the floor, her expression was hidden by the hood but they did saw her wrathful expression after the jade stone in her hands lit up.

"Lucia..." Nina also spoke in worry and the others who saw with them also echoed with a bit of anxiety in their voices.

Lucia heeded their voices and inclined her chin to see them all, but only tears cascaded down her eyes. She sniffed and a helpless expression appeared on her face, "Lucas got captured... Uncle Gyrus died trying to protect him..."

"What?! Impossible!" Glyn gave a low groan as his face expressed disbelief. On the other hand, Nina looked as if she lost her soul as a pale expression painted her face. She grasped both of her hands in front of her bosoms as her eyes let out a tear while she snapped out of it.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

Lucia slightly banged the table, "The team he was in was decimated by those Arc Song Mercenaries!"

"Even then... For Uncle Gyrus to die..." Glyn uttered with disbelief. Uncle Gyrus was a Sixth Stage Cultivator. For him to die meant that...

Lucia nodded her head as get expression changed into one of anger, "The bastard and the traitor of them all, the leader of the Arc Song Mercenaries, Jawan made a move..."

"We were too careless..."

When the Cloud Spring Mercenaries collapsed with the expedition of the Tripartite Alliance targeting them, Jawan made a move, instantly crippling the various branches that were spread throughout the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

At the same time, he established his mercenary group, Arc Song Mercenaries, claiming that he was the King of all mercenaries in the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

The mercenary group's name was the same as the one he established previously before decisively joining the Cloud Spring Mercenaries in order to protect himself from being swallowed by the Cloud Spring Mercenaries. He acted in accordance with the situation which demanded that he surrender or perish to which he instantly cost the former.

However, once he joined, he secretly formed his own division within the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, biding his time to strike at the right time while being supported by the Tripartite Alliance.

Nevertheless, Daniuis, the leader of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries knew Jawan's schemes and kept him in check for a long time.

Then what exactly caused this situation to unfold?

"We were too careless..." Lucia repeated her words again with a mutter.

She couldn't help but think about Uncle Gyrus's kind smile as well as how he always called her Young Miss Lucia. He was dead, Uncle Gyrus was dead. Her heart couldn't help but clench in pain.

Even her brother Lucas got captured but she knew why he was kept alive as it was obvious.

The faces of the others around the table turned gloomy to the extreme. Their hearts couldn't help but tremble as they felt their future turn bleak.
