Divine Emperor of Death

"You!" Agis Stirlander's fingers trembled as he pointed towards Davis, "This person is an impostor!!" 

"Then why are you searching evidence that Davis is Alchemist Scythe!!!?" Natalya screamed back.

Agis Stirlander became stunned as his fingers stopped trembling. He, who had believed and investigated that both were the same person is now denying vehemently.

Why? Because he felt that this granddaughter had made a mistake!

"It's true. I am Alchemist Scythe, and your granddaughter and I could have been said to live under the same roof for more than a year."

Agis Stirlander became taken aback as he took two steps back. His hand plunged but he then lifted it up as he pointed again, "You're lying!"

Davis smiled, "Do you I need to specifically state how I saved her and her younger sister when you were somewhere else, doing something else?"

"In fact, if you value the lives of your granddaughters more than yours... Then I naturally became your greatest benefactor than the Third Prince...'"

"Or are you going to deny that as well?" Davis closed the distance as stared face to face with Agis Stirlander.

Agis Stirlander's face trembled. The stare-off continued for two seconds before he plopped to the ground on his butt, unable to take the invisible pressure.

"Tsk, tsk... Investigating your greatest benefactor... You couldn't get uglier than this, could you?" Davis scoffed.

Agis Stirlander's entire body shook before he spurted a mouthful of blood towards the ground.

"Grandpa!" Natalya became aghast as she ran to her grandpa as Davis let her go. 

"Grandpa, take those expensive medicines you possess... Please!"

She instantly urged for her grandfather to take medicine while her grandfather stayed still while his expression looked as if his heart had been murdered.

No matter how she pleaded, Agis Stirlander didn't seem to respond even after ten seconds had passed.

'Did I go too far?' Davis pursed his lips and blinked while hearing Natalya's cries. He personally felt no sympathy for someone who had moved against him but Natalya's cries were scratching his heart.

"Grandfather-in-law! Are you shocked to learn that your granddaughter is pregnant with my child?"

Agis Stirlander suddenly shook as he looked towards Davis with widened eyes. He then looked towards Natalya who seemed to have a shocked expression on her face.

"Hehe." Davis chuckled, "Took you long enough to be conscious again. I was just kidding..."

During one of their sexual affairs, Natalya had already agreed to his request to not conceive a child. He would give her pills to take as she would swallow without a word of complaint.

Besides, she felt compelled to do so because even the first wife didn't seem to not bear a child yet.

She heaved a sigh but at the same time, was also disappointed in hearing that it was a joke. After all, she had consumed without completely comprehending what kind of pills he was feeding her. 

She could ask no one but him.

Agis Stirlander's expression visibly contorted before he stood up. He looked at Davis in a complex light, "I am indeed grateful to you but my greatest benefactor is undoubtedly the Third Prince."

"Feel free to think so because that wouldn't change the fact that Natalya isn't my woman or you owing me a debt of gratitude..." Davis shrugged.

Agis Stirlander clenched his teeth again but he was interrupted.

"And why do you always make me seem like the evil guy when you're the one who is clearly playing the fool..."

"What!?" Agis Stirlander yelled while Natalya held him back.

"Oh, my bad. I bit my tongue... I meant to say that you are being played the fool..."

Agis Stirlander gritted his teeth in anger as his expression changed, "Yes I am! I am being played the fool by you! I should've never made contact with you at the Alchemy Convention!"

Hearing his outburst, Davis became speechless.

He sighed, "I'm not mocking you... Don't you still understand?"

"What else I don't understand!? Why don't you tell me, uh!?" Spittles of blood flew from Agis Stirlander's mouth, making Davis take two steps back.

The former became embarrassed as he grit his teeth.

"Needless to say, you should've felt something amiss about the conversation you had with Alchemist Yen before?"

"..." 

Agis Stirlander narrowed his brows as he thought back to the time when he spoke with Alchemist Yen. It was still fresh in his memory.

"The Third Prince never left the Ethren Royal Palaces but somehow he meets you, at least once monthly. Of course, this could be explained by the fact that the Third Prince is sneaking around with his prowess but does it make sense for a prince to move about like this?"

"You know nothing about his highness..." Agis Stirlander coldly spoke.

Davis shrugged, "Indeed, I don't. I have no need to meet him and can still say that something is wrong with how you're being used just by knowing the facts. No one knows that the Third Prince gave you a mission to investigate the Conferred Queen, not even his trusted aide..."

"Why would he do so? What's the reason? What's in it for him?"

"There's nothing in it other than knowing the background of Conferred Queen Isabella that is said to be volatile..." Agis Stirlander harrumphed.

"That's right... You're obviously being used as a scapegoat..."

Agis Stirlander's expression changed.

"The Third Prince wouldn't do such a thing! His highness is truly interested in the Conferred Queen!"

Davis laughed coldly, "Why would a man who seemed to have no interest in women suddenly became infatuated? Potential? Beauty? Does your own granddaughter who is skilled in Yin Laws compare any less?"

Agis Stirlander's expression changed, 'He knows!?'

"You should be clear of your first granddaughter's potential more than anyone!" 

Davis harrumphed.

"Agis! Wake up!" 

"I'm not the impostor but the Third Prince you've been meeting all this while is the impostor!" 

Agis Stirlander became stunned as he saw Davis's eyes were wide open, radiating confidence that backed his statement. He abruptly started to tremble.

'That's right... Why does the Third Prince who knows about my granddaughter's potential not look at her in a desiring manner? Natalya isn't any worse than the Conferred Queen...'

Although his thoughts were an exaggeration, he really thought that way because Natalya's age is around thirty while Conferred Queen Isabella's age is said to be below two hundred. He subconsciously considered the Conferred Queen to be a woman who is more than a hundred years old but failed to consider if she might be below a hundred.

Such a thought would leave him in shock! If he knew that the Conferred Queen was just around fifty years old, he wouldn't have dared thought that way!

Of course, he didn't know, and neither did the Third Prince, hence, Natalya's and the Conferred Queen's potential could be seen as the same in their eyes.

When it is like this, why hasn't the Third Prince chose an easy target over a difficult one with a mysterious background? It just didn't make sense unless the Third Prince preferred immense hurdles and difficult conquests.

However, he knew that the Third Prince was no such person.

Agis Stirlander's lips severely trembled.

At this moment, Davis suddenly felt a fluctuation that irked his eyes. When he subconsciously blinked, wanting to get rid of the strange feeling, his eyes glowed slightly red and Agis Stirlander's lifespan thread which appeared before him lengthened!

'What!?' Davis widened his eyes as he simultaneously experienced goosebumps!

It changed! 

The lifespan thread changed! For the first time in his life, he saw the damned lifespan thread lengthen right in front of his eyes!
