Divine Emperor of Death

Davis sat at the table and saw that it was a registration form. It required him to fill in some details like name, age, cultivation, strengths, and origin, although only the name and cultivation were required fields. The others were also optional.

"How many members does the Lightning Flail Mercenaries have?"

To Davis's question, the diligent teenager quickly responded.

"Our Lightning Flail Mercenaries have more than two thousand members. Although the majority of them are at the Ninth Stage, at least three hundred of us are at the Immortal Stage, boasting a sizeable force. Our most powerful member, the leader, is a Level Six Immortal. But soon, we will be able to join the ranks of Late Immortal Grade Mercenary Guilds!"

An excited voice full of valor resounded within the inn, causing the others to laugh.

"That's right."

"We will soon leave the ranks of Mid Immortal Grade Mercenary Guilds and establish a name for ourselves in the next rank soon enough."

"Fellow cultivators, seeing that you want to join us, I say you have good eyes. What's your name?"

The burly men laughed while one of them approached Davis from behind. However, he froze as he saw a symbol of a tear drawn on the origin bracket of the registration form. His eyes flickered before he abruptly slapped his own head.

"Ah! I just remembered. Little Gaz, aren't you turning sixteen tomorrow?

"Big brother, you remembered?" The teenager appeared surprised but also moved.

"Of course. How could I not? Didn't I promise to take you to the woman you liked in the central plaza?"

"…" The teenage boy blushed ever so lightly.

"Aha, there's no need to hold back. A man should know these pleasures, or he will eventually fall prey to them if unprepared. Come, as your big brother who looks after you, I declare that today is the day you will revitalize your manhood. It's my treat. Everyone, follow me. The receptionist will take care of everything else."

"Boss, you're the best!"

The five burly men then dragged away the bashful teenager as they cackled lewdly under Davis's speechless gaze.

He shook his head, heaving a sigh, not because of this ambiguous scene but the fact that the teenager was already a Law Dominion Stage Expert. The First Haven World really didn't lack powerful people, although many do get stuck in the Ninth Stage as most of their cultivations are rather fueled by energy alone and not techniques.

Nonetheless, he got up with the registration form, turning to look at the receptionist at the far end. Their eyes locked while the arms of the other three assassins stiffened at the very least, ready to strike at a moment's notice.

"Who told you?"

The receptionist's gaze was cold, "How did you come to know?"

'So who I am is not important?' Davis's lips curved into a blatant smile, "I'm Dead End, and I'm here to join the Ghost Tear Hall by extracting some information from the Skull Breaking Poison Assassin. Those who stand in my path from letting me achieve the unseeable heights of assassination, I will eliminate them all."

"Skull Breaking Poison Assassin…" The receptionist's cold gaze flickered, "Wasn't he caught and enslaved by the Azure Radiance Slave Traders?"

"I bought him and killed him."

Davis directly threw a headless corpse on the floor, causing a bit of bloodstain to splash on the floor. However, the receptionist paid the hostile action no heed but directly checked for the aura of the headless body with a stone.

After that stone scanned the body with a mysterious wave of soul force, it lit green and displayed a projection.

It had the profile of the Skull Breaking Poison Assassin.

"Indeed. It's his body, but you also seem familiar with the trial of our Ghost Tear Hall."

"I did torture his soul to death, after all."

Davis confidently answered with a narcissistic expression on his face.

There were many assassins that would be killed and, at certain times, be caught. At that time, if they could bring their enslavers as a sacrifice or potential recruitment, they could redeem themselves. However, what they didn't know was their potential recruitment's first recruitment mission was to eliminate their recruiter using all means necessary unless they earned enough points to redeem themselves from that time.

These were also the reasons why the Ghost Tear Hall didn't come save their disciples who were caught. They were fearless and daring.

Of course, Skull Breaking Poison Assassin knew of this as he was an outer disciple and not a worker assassin. He could plenty redeem himself. However, he underestimated Davis, thinking that he could kill him later on after returning to the Ghost Tear Hall, perhaps having some insurance or assassin brothers to help him.

There were much more intricacies involved in the recruitment. However, Davis didn't care what that enslaved assassin had in store for him. The Skull Breaking Poison Assassin made a mistake as he took the bait and got killed as he deserved!

On the other hand, Davis had to reveal how he knew of this place. Otherwise, he would be chased to the ends of the First Haven World as this wasn't open recruitment but secretive recruitment, possible only through the recruitment of other assassin disciples.

"I see." The receptionist's slanted eyes curved even more, "Since you have killed your target of the trial, I can allow you to become an outer disciple. But don't misunderstand. To get to this point is manageable, but to survive from here is challenging, Dead End."

"If you haven't raised your rank from an Emperor Grade Assassin to an Early Immortal Grade Assassin in ten days, we will kill you. After all, you've killed a Level Two Immortal Assassin. Surely, you'll be able to prove yourself worthy, right?"

A hint of disdain appeared in Davis's eyes in response. He took out a pitch-black mask that he bought at a shady store on his way before coming here and placed it on his face. It had two triangular slits over the eyes and had a wide enough smile to send chills down the target's spine.

"What are the missions available? Hurry up, and don't waste my time."

"Glad you asked."

The receptionist smirked and waved his hand. Instantly, the wall to the side shook and flipped, revealing another wall of bounties.
