Chapter 94
Everyone froze in utter terror . The sheer sight of the gruesome scene was unimaginable to them . The atmosphere remained chaotically tranquil while their eyes remained wide open as they couldn't process what had transpired .
Fear made their hearts weak as it palpitated at a faster rate . They couldn't utter a single word that was capable of conveying their emotions . The scene itself looked odd while at the same time, also felt surreal .
They could only look at Davis, seeking for answers . Although, some of them didn't even dare to look at him, afraid that they will be targeted next for no specific reason .
Logan, Ellia and Shirley were utterly dumbfounded, not able to figure the reason why these two emperors had their cultivation destroyed suddenly, resulting in their deaths .
Although all of them guessed that it had to do something with those paper talismans, nobody was sure of it .
Davis had a faint smile on his face . He waited for fear to root itself in their hearts before carrying on to confuse them with his words . The silence was prevalent in the eerie atmosphere which made the people heavily sweat as no one spoke .
A few moments continued to pass when finally, someone couldn't take it anymore . A voice sounded out in the clouded atmosphere .
"Pr . . . Prince Davis! What exactly is happening here?" Emperor Claymore asked, his tone was respectful, unknown to him .
"I just killed Emperor Tritor and Emperor Raven, and I think it isn't any different from killing Mortal Stage Magical Beasts," Davis replied in a casual tone as if he had done something which wasn't a big matter .
'No different than killing Mortal Stage Magical Beasts?' Everyone's eyes twitched while the fear inside their hearts also grew a little .
"What . . . are those paper talismans?" Emperor Ruth asked in disbelief as he gulped .
"Ohh . . . So you people noticed? Do you want to know what it is?" Davis acted as if he had just noticed their findings and asked them in a teasing manner .
"Yes!" Emperor Ashton replied, his tone was one of excitement . He was starting to believe that his speculations were 99% accurate at this moment .
"This . . . I am not sure if I should say this . . . but since you are all my elders and seniors, it would be bad if I kept this as a secret at this point . " Davis rubbed his chin as if he was contemplating on whether to tell them the truth .
He walked forward as he contemplated, he stepped on the filthy pool of blood and removed the two space rings from the corpses .
Everyone read the lines in between and knew what Davis indirectly meant . They understood that he was asking for compensation, and the payment was exactly those two space rings .
In fact, they knew that they had no say in it, and it was just as they thought . To Davis, it didn't matter if they gave him the space rings of their own will or not as he was determined to take away those wealthy space rings . He just needed them to accept that outcome, lest trouble comes after him from nowhere .
Davis continued, "These two paper talismans was personally handed over to me by my master . He instructed me to use it if anyone way powerful than me, aimed for my life . "
*Boom*
Clamour erupted in the area as the long forgotten short legend of the Revered Senior who once saved the Loret Empire sprang forth .
"These paper talismans are sure powerful! But I don't know why my master gave me seven of these paper talismans!" Davis sighed as he said .
"Seven paper talismans?" The emperors' eyes twitched for some reason . They then realised to their horror that it was equal to the number of Sky Grade Empires on this continent .
"I'm sure my master is disappointed that I used two of those paper talismans to kill instead of using my own power . " He held his head as he lamented .
"Yes! Yes, one must always use their own powers instead of relying on external powers, I'm sure that your master will also forgive you since those two vile demons were aiming for your life . After all, one's life takes precedence over the way of how one chooses to use their power . " Emperor Ross hurriedly comforted Davis when he looked sad . At the same time, he thought that he curbed Davis from using those powerful paper talismans anymore .
"You're right, Emperor Ross . Thanks for the advice!" Davis smiled as if he was truly comforted by his words .
The four emperors heaved a sigh of relief, but everyone knew that Emperor Ross also used this opportunity to gain favour .
Everyone looked at Emperor Ross in jealousy thinking that he managed to achieve his aim .
Without question, everyone started to believe in Davis's words . Otherwise, the event that took place wouldn't make sense . Even Logan believed in Davis's words that he felt that it was improper to ask questions about his master .
An utmost being such as the mysterious senior has a disciple? Who in their right mind wouldn't want to befriend him?
Emperor Ashton suddenly had an idea, "Haha, son-in-law, that's right, there's no need to fret over it . Furthermore, we can even try to speak to your revered master and explain that you were not in the wrong . "
Hearing that, Davis was astonished, 'I didn't expect him to use this opportunity to meet my non-existent master, instead of sucking up to me . Ah, it makes sense, he already treats me like a son-in-law even when I didn't marry his daughter in the first place . He must be quite the opportunist . '
"I'm afraid that is quite impossible, Emperor Ashton . My master is withdrawn from worldly affairs and will refuse to meet any person other than me . What I'm saying is the truth because when I asked him to meet my parents, my master completely didn't even bother to reply . " Davis sadly said as if he was disappointed in his master for it .
Davis's acting was so genuine that even Logan started to believe his words .
"Not only that, but my master forbids me to speak about him unless asked specifically," Davis added as he shook his head .
"It's certainly a pity . It would be my lifetime's glory to meet your revered master, but If we can't meet him, then so be it . " Emperor Ruth said . He too wanted to meet this mysterious senior .
Logan now abandoned any newfound hopes of meeting his son's master, after all, he can't incur the wrath of that godly person and possibly worsen the master-disciple relationship between his son and that senior .
Seeing that his act was successful, Davis secretly heaved a sigh of relief as he thought, 'If a powerful person acted, then people would have no choice but to believe that person . Deceiving Clara is a million times difficult, fortunately, she isn't here . '
If Clara was here, then his act and lies would have been easily seen through without any question .
