Divine Emperor of Death

While returning, Natalya sighed as she didn't think she could instantly withhold the animosity she had for her little sister after this event.

It was like, her hatred for the latter was a lie in the first place. She quickly returned to Davis's room and saw him cultivating. 

She didn't say anything but just removed her mask and watched his young look in admiration.

She had maids serving her before in the past and the reality placed before her left her laughing at the irony of her own fate.

But she was thankful that there was at least a person who was not unscrupulous beyond means, saving her from that cruel fate.

'Part of the reason why he had saved me was maybe that he had felt pity for me...' Natalya thought, contemplating why he had saved her from that place.

She then remembered that at that time, she had wet herself from fear, causing her face to turn into a blush.

She closed her eyes and shook her head, removing those thoughts away from her head. When she opened her eyes, she saw Davis looking at her suspiciously.

Her heart skipped a beat! His gaze once again reminded herself of how she wet herself in front of this person.

She couldn't help but turn conscious once she thought of that matter!

"What's wrong?" Davis asked, not understanding why she was acting weirdly.

Before this he looked at her suspiciously, thinking that she had divulged her identity to her little sister, but he realized that it didn't seem to be the case when he noticed her face flush red.

"Eh? N-nothing... That's right, I came to report that she had finished applying the medicinal paste which benefactor had given."

Seeing her getting all clumsy and avoiding his gaze, Davis was amused. He could tell that she was hiding something from him.

Thinking that it could be a small matter and even something personal for all he knew, he brushed it off and said, "She should have healed half a day later. That's when we'll start questioning her, you get it?"

Natalya nodded her head obediently

"Also, stay here. I don't want you going around talking to her which might inadvertently leak your identity."

Natalya heavily nodded her head, indicating that she also had the same thought. After all, she was sure that she would make a mistake at some point.

Suddenly she had a doubt which she promptly asked, "What if she runs away sneakily?"

"Don't worry, I have my Soul Sense active at all times, so it is impossible for her to escape..."

"I see..." Natalya turned relaxed but suddenly her eyes widened!

'I have my Soul Sense active at all times? Then does that mean he saw me while bathing!???' Natalya felt the world spin around in tremor.

When she incredulously cast a gaze at him with her wide eyes, he had already continued with his cultivation session.

Of course, Davis didn't peek on her when she bathed because he had other things to do, like... yes, studying.

...

Half a day later.

Fiora stood up after her injuries had healed, getting ready to leave. A lot of time had passed since she sneaked out of her house and any more delay will cause her parents to be worried.

She donned a new dark blue robe that she took from her spatial ring and it looked similar to the previous robe she wore.

Opening the door to leave, she stepped out of the room. Seeing that it would be rude to leave without saying anything, she thought of searching for them to bid farewell.

But before she could start searching, her eyes caught sight of the masked black-robed person in the hallway.

She walked towards her and bowed slightly in embarrassment, "I am incredibly grateful for your kind help, and have nothing of value to return the favor."

"I am young and I believe I will grow stronger in the future, so please consider this as I owe one. In the future, I will definitely aid you people as long as it doesn't concern something extreme..."

Natalya was stunned, her words were vague but it definitely had deep meaning and gratitude behind it, saving herself from any cruel requests that she might be asked upon in the future.

Natalya's eyes glazed and somehow, she felt proud of her sister. Even so, she suppressed her emotions and said, "Mister Scythe hopes to see you, follow me..."

"This..." Fiora hesitated but nodded her head thinking that it was better to follow the rules of the house, "Alright..."

Natalya turned around and brought her into Davis's room. In front of the bed where Davis sat on was a red-colored mattress.

It was previously the place where Natalya sat, and now, Fiora went ahead and sat upon it on Natalya's instruction.

Davis slowly opened his eyes, and at that exact time, he fully restored his soul force by circulating the Sacred Luminance Mist.

He couldn't help but think that the timing was perfect.

"What is your name?" Davis asked as he gazed at Fiora's face.

He had worn a mask as he knew that Fiora was coming to his room since he was the one who informed Natalya to invite her.

Fiora opened her mouth, not averting her gaze, "My name is Fiora Astoria. I haven't had the chance to thank benefactor for saving me from the likes of my own family, though ironic, it embarrasses me to say this."

"It doesn't matter anymore since I've already killed them, what I want to know is why you have come here? I've heard that you're looking for your elder sister?"

And as the rules stated, neither the guards nor the Astoria Family came to trouble him in his residence.

The guards literally turned a blind eye towards the incident as they have taken the bribe, and as for the Astoria Family.

Maybe, the Astoria Family didn't even know the whereabouts of the four, making them unable to trace them back to Davis.

Fiora was stunned and she thought he was going to help her find her elder sister but a moment later, she didn't dare get her hopes up too much.

But she was more than willing to share her plight to grasp the chance to save her elder sister.
