Divine Emperor of Death

Elder Seylas then relaxed his muscles after a moment and spoke, "That pill had just been bought a month ago."

Davis blinked as he inwardly lamented. He couldn't help but ask, "Who bought it?"

However, he quickly realized that he wouldn't receive an answer due to confidentiality.

"By one of the Tripartite Alliance Members."

Elder Seylas only hesitated for a moment before speaking. He didn't reveal who but revealed the organization which bought the pill.

Davis nodded in understanding.

Recently, the Tripartite Alliance must've realized that they're getting their asses handed over to them, prompting them to buy medicinal pills.

"Please look for another medicinal pill that attracts your attention." Elder Seylas embarrassedly urged.

Davis nodded his head and returned his gaze to the parchment.

[

Pupil Remedy Pill

Able to cure blindness caused by various reasons. Could even regenerate the eye socket if it's damaged...

Mid-Level King Grade Pill...

]

He scanned the pill list but couldn't find any relevant pills but his gaze was attracted to something else.

[

Blood Coagulation Pill

This pill helps a person restore a bit of their Blood Essence...

Mid-Level King Grade Pill...

]

'Grand Uncle is in dire need of Blood Essence, this pill can help...'

"I need a Blood Coagulation Pill."

Elder Seylas's expression turned ugly as he could only let out a breath of sigh, "That pill was also bought by that member of the Tripartite Alliance."

Davis couldn't help but smile.

Was the Tripartite Alliance trying to offend him through these methods? He couldn't help but feel that way, giving birth to that eerie smile of his, hidden behind a mask.

He pursed his lips and asked, "Is there a Low-Level King Grade variant of these two pills?"

Elder Seylas wryly shook his head, "We had it but they too have been bought by the Tripartite Alliance."

*Bzz!~*

Elder Seylas's expression changed as he felt Davis emit undulations, "Alchemist Scythe! Calm down! If you can wait for half a year, these pills will be replenished! I'll try to reserve more for you!"

With his constant consolation, he felt Davis retract his undulations, however, he was shocked, 'Law Seed Stage? As expected of a little monster coming from a mysterious background.'

It had just been a few years yet Alchemist Scythe whom he recognized to be a young already reached at that point.

How could he not be shocked!?

Both of them went silent for a minute before Davis turned to look at Elder Seylas, his mask increasing the deafening silence and the trepidation in Elder Seylas's heart.

"So you were the one who was prying on me during the Mid-Level Sky Grade Examination..."

Elder Seylas's heart shook as he inadvertently took a step back, his expression changing from wide eyes to realizing that he had given himself out.

Instantly, he felt a massive Soul Force covering him from head to toe.

His instinctive reaction was for him to release his own Soul Force which was at Low-Level Mature Soul Stage but he was abruptly horrified to find that his soul was completely suppressed!

"What!?" Elder Seylas groaned as he dropped to his knees, unable to bear the pressure on his soul.

'How!?' He inwardly felt shocked. He could feel the other party's soul force only being at Low-Level Mature Soul Stage, the same as his level.

But then, how could he be suppressed just like that!?

'The quality of the soul force! The intensity!'

Elder Seylas quickly realized, and when he compared it to the last time when Alchemist Scythe was able to cross levels to concoct pills, it all fell into place.

Elder Seylas instantly tried to explain himself as he felt death near, "E-Esteemed Alchemist Scythe!"

However, the pressure left him momentarily dizzy, making him unable to speak.

'So it was you all along... No wonder you were giving me respect without even being asked for... Even going as far as to tell who were the buyers of the pill...' 

Davis had his eyes cold as he wondered, 'Has my identity been completely exposed?'

Elder Seylas pushed the dizziness away from his head and spoke, "I-It wasn't my intent to pry on your identity a-at that time!" 

At this time, the esteemed Grand Elder wasn't here, so Elder Seylas had no choice but to resort to groveling. As a matter of fact, he was the strongest person who was present here; after the Grand Elder left.

"Oh, then who wanted to pry my identity at that time?" Davis calmly questioned as he narrowed their distance. 

With his soul force which could compare to High-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivator, suppressing Elder Seylas was like a walk in the mountain, although simple to stumble, it was easier to maintain balance if stable.

"It... It's..." Elder Seylas gritted his teeth in agitation, "It's T-Tina Roxley!"

"Tina Roxley?" Davis turned visibly confused. 

Instantly, a graceful figure appeared in his mind.

Why would that gorgeous woman with ample curves want to pry his identity? 

He felt confused.

At that time, he took note of all the people in the examination hall and Tina Roxley seemed the least suspicious.

"Don't lie." Davis increased the pressure he cast on Elder Seylas, causing the latter to hit his head on the floor. 

Simultaneously, he unleashed his Karma Laws through Fallen Heaven and saw the white thread connecting him.

'No negative emotions?' 

There was no black thread in his view but only white, indicating that he and Elder Seylas were just on the level of acquaintances. Even so, Davis didn't falter and tried to influence Elder Seylas to speak the truth.

'Misdirection!'

A translucent but also a gaseous form of hazy light fell on the thread as he once more invoked, "Tell me, who was it that told you to pry on my identity?"

Elder Seylas's eyes turned moist as his body shook. He was left helpless from the suppression so he couldn't help but take all of his strength to shout, "Tina Roxley!"

His shout merely sounded like a meek voice due to the suppression.

Davis furrowed his brows.

Tina Roxley...

Why would she want to know about my identity?

However, it suddenly dawned on him.

How Miss Tina Roxley invited him to a walk and acted strangely but he chanced upon Drake's plagiaristic work and bid farewell to her. Even before that, he remembered how she had vaguely shown interest in him for unknown reasons.

'Looks like I was wrong... It was not the Tripartite Alliance but her...'

He lowered the pressure he cast on Elder Seylas and asked, "What is her motive?"

Davis influenced him to tell him the truth again through the Karma Threads.

"I don't know!" Elder Seylas promptly shook his head while being able to keep his head up, however, he was still kneeling, silently crying in his heart.

'I knew I shouldn't have involved myself in this mess!' 

He had thought of currying favor with this little monster but little did he thought that it would backfire on him. If he had known, then even if he had more strength, he wouldn't have dared tried to personally attend Alchemist Scythe.

"Then where is she now? In the Roxley Family? Or in the Roxley Auction House?"

Davis felt the need to investigate this matter. Anything that concerned with his identity, he felt that it should be better to be cautious.

"She... She is no longer in this territory..."

Davis's eyes narrowed into two tiny slits, "What?"

"S-She left with the Grand Elder, along with her little sister."

"What do you mean?" Davis felt that there was more to it than he thought it would.

"You don't know!?" Elder Seylas couldn't help but gape.
