Divine Emperor of Death

Davis crouched on top of the ceiling, his eyes also lit up in scrutiny when he saw the guests.

He managed to easily enter inside while being in the concealed state of the Dark Concealing Shroud Art when the young man opened the doors pompously.

He picked a random space to hide in, and reap some unexpected benefits from the meeting of these so-called young masters. He thought that if he could hear some beneficial information, it would be fine before he made a move.

That said, the reason why his eyes glowed was that he found out that the servant's strength was better than the master she served. It made him wonder exactly what kind of wealthy family the new young master was from, considering the number of ornaments and extravagant articles of clothing he lavishly wore.

Silently taking out an imagery crystal, he prepared to record whatever happened here for a backup plan.

His main plan had been to beat Young Master Jackson senseless, but the man had no conflict with him which made reluctant to break his bones.

He injected very little energy into the imagery crystal that went undetected by those three people below him. With the help of his Dark Concealing Shroud Art, any energy fluctuations were concealed, making people of low soul cultivation unable to pick up the disturbance.

This action of his invoked the imagery crystal into recording whatever happened in the direction it faced.

A slight grin lit upon his face as he thought, 'Same old tricks but extremely useful.'

'What?' Suddenly, Davis narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scene before him.

The servant who stood behind her master hurriedly ran ahead and embraced Jackson.

"Imryll!" Jackson reciprocated and embraced her as his face lit up in joy.

Davis turned confused at the same time.

"Nilus greets master!" The young man on the other side kneeled obediently.

Jackson and Imryll looked at him, "I'm sorry that you had to act like that to this trash."

"It's fine." Imryll shook her head as she replied. A complicated expression appeared in her eyes.

"Do you blame me, Imryll?" Jackson asked worriedly. The previous haughty expression he displayed outside was nowhere to be seen.

"No, he deserved it. The only way to hide our relationship was to either kill or make him a soul slave. I can only thank you enough you chose the latter or else, my family would've found out."

"I had no choice. Your cousin was greedy enough to extort me using our relationship. It only worsened after the matter with Katrine."

Imryll went silent and an awkward expression appeared on Jackson's face.

Looking at his expression, Imryll helplessly laughed, "You dare to mention her name in front of me?"

"I ..." Just when he tried to explain, her hand closed his mouth.

"You said you loved me, then you plan to marry her? How sincere!" A sarcastic expression appeared on her face.

Her expression then turned serious, "You know my Berilan family is in conflict with the Blackwell Family for generations and yet, you plan to become in-laws with her family. You're the one who is sealing all paths of us being together!"

"You plan to abandon me?" Grievance filled her eyes as it got a little misty, making one feel guilty.

Jackson lifted his arms and held her wrist. He moved her hand from his mouth and placed it on his chest.

"At this point, you will instantly know if I'm lying..." Jackson closed his eyes and opened.

"Do you know why the Blackwell family had agreed to the marriage? It is because I already did the deed with her..."

Imryll looked at him in shock but before she could say anything, he continued, "I was given a choice by her family to either marry her or perish. I can only choose the latter."

"Originally they were angry and wanted to kill me, including my family but after seeing my potential, they changed their mind."

"Besides, Katrine seemed to have taken a liking to me which was beyond my expectations after that matter happened between me and her."

Imryll looked down, her body faintly trembling. It could be seen that this news was quite hard for her to grasp.

Jackson worriedly waited for her reply, not daring to influence her decision. He wanted her to be his wife but felt scared that he would lose her.

"You scoundrel... Why are all men like this? Even my father has five wives other than my mother!" Imryll looked at him and shouted in an aggrieved tone.

"Imryll! I had no choice. You could say that we had no choice! Katrine and I entered a dual cultivation chamber unknowingly in the Tomb of Variel, a Sixth Stage Expert!"

"How did it happen?" Imryll furrowed her brows, partly believing his words.

Jackson took a deep breath and explained, "In the west region of the Desolate Plains, I and a vast line of experts entered that tomb to find treasures, resources, cultivation techniques and manuals."

"All the experts either decided to team up or explore alone..."

"I was exploring the tomb solo, and after a while when I entered a room, it happened. Originally, there were no harmful traps there but after Katrine unknowingly entered the room, the gates closed and some kind of gas started to pervade the room."

His expression took a slight change as he continued, "Now it's obvious that it was a potent aphrodisiac gas..."

"Then... even though we were both reluctant, we were eventually forced to do the deed."

Imryll looked at his eyes and felt his heartbeat, there seemed to be no fluctuation whatsoever.

She then thought of something else, "Then did you enjoy the so-called deed?"

She suddenly felt his heartbeat turn chaotic.

Her expression turned cold as she said, "You're lying..."

Jackson's expression turned awkward and shifted his gaze away.

What could he tell? That he enjoyed two days and two nights copulating with her in extreme bliss?

"Beleive me Imryll, it was entirely accidental! I didn't mean to betray you!"

Imryll bit her lips in frustration. She felt extremely aggrieved when she heard about the marriage of her lover, but after he had sent her a message that he hadn't betrayed, she was so happy that she wanted to visit him.

The purpose of her visit today was nothing more than to distinguish if he had deceived her or not...

But now, the answer was extremely obvious... He did indeed deceive her!

Admittedly, Imryll was extremely unreconciled!
