Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 237

Rina Roxley's expression turned aghast, even so, she still said, "Even if he is dangerous, there is no way he would harm us . . . Elder Sis, it's been 20 years since I was born but the last time I saw him was when I was 10 . . . "

"Listen carefully, without my master's protection, he would've harmed you long ago . Remember, he is the cause of their deaths!" Tina Roxley's twin peaks heaved heavily as it shook while overflowing anger can be seen in her eyes .

She slowly calmed down and placed her hands on shoulders of the teary-eyed Rina Roxley, "If you think otherwise, then . . . consider our sisterhood over . "

Rina Roxley's eyes formed tears as it flowed down her face, "I won't go near father, I promise!"

Tina Roxley heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time, felt bad for threatening her own sister with their relationship .

But the world was cruel, and she had no choice but to resort to threatening her own little sister rather than reveal their father's actions .

After successfully obtaining the invitation letter, Davis returned to the inn he stayed in, entering his room . Sitting on the bed, he took the invitation letter out and viewed it .

The invitation letter had a peculiar design on it that can be in no way described as elegant . It had the details of the venue and the timings of the underground auction .

From the letter, he garnered that the underground auction takes place two weeks later .

There was also a mention of where they procure illegal items to sell in the underground auction .

He once again left the inn and headed towards the place mentioned in the invitation letter .

After a few hours of travel, he arrived at the aforementioned destination .

It was another marketplace, but the grandness here was quite lacking when compared to the Roxley Plaza's marketplace .

Once he arrived at the place, he looked around and spotted a shop .

He approached the shop and questioned the middle-aged shopkeeper as he pointed at a key-like stone craft, "Won't you sell me that?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper turned to look at the key before looking back at him, "How much do you think it costs?"

Davis smiled, "It costs one's life . . . "

The middle-aged shopkeeper nodded and led him into the store from the side door .

Davis followed him and entered the underground with him while another attendant took over his place to fill the position of the shopkeeper .

After passing through a dark narrow passage, they arrived in front of a big hall . The hall was divided into many rooms with curtains separating all of them .

"Enter . . . " The middle-aged man who led him pointed at one of the many rooms .

Davis stepped inside the room and saw another middle-aged man, handling a list while sitting on a chair behind the table . He had a mask on his face which concealed his facial features .

Davis thought back to the middle-aged shopkeeper behind him over the curtain and compared it with the man in front of him . He guessed that the shopkeeper should either be a slave to this man in front of him or the Roxley Family .

"Oh, yes! Sit over here and tell us what items you have brought us to sell?"

Davis sat down and placed a spatial ring on top of the table . He didn't bother to reply .

The middle-aged man chuckled and picked up the spatial ring not offended by the lack of response . He had seen a lot of people with weird tastes and personalities after all .

After creating a connection with it, he checked the contents of the spatial ring . Almost instantly, his eyes bulged as he stood up in a chain of reaction .

Without saying anything, he once more checked the contents earnestly .

"Respected guest, please follow me . . . " After checking again, he looked at Davis and respectfully said .

Davis stood up and followed him back into another spacious room .

The masked middle-aged man informed a guard standing outside the room of the situation . He backed up and gave the spatial ring back to Davis while the guard nodded his head and went into the room .

The masked middle-aged man opted to wait outside while Davis went inside .

Davis saw a wizened old man who was smiling as he rubbed his chin . He was instantly afraid when the old man released an energy wave that was of the Sixth Stage .

He also felt a Soul Sense probing him and was given a scare .

But on second thought, he realized that this old man's Soul Forging Cultivation was only more or less equal to him .

Otherwise, it was possible that his identity would've been found out by the old man by now .

The old man finally shook his head and said as he presented a card, "Mister, I apologize for my actions . As an apology, we can offer you the VIP status in our underground auction for three times as long as you have this card . "

Davis stared at it, deciding whether if he should take it or not .

"If you are not satisfied, then you can leave without making the transaction . Our underground auction will not cause you any trouble, you have my word . "

"You are?" Davis asked in a cold voice .

"Me? I am Solarin Roxley . . . " The old man proudly uttered his name, not even bothering to hide it or even his facial features .

Too bad, Davis never heard of this name before so he had not that much of a reaction .

Seeing that, Solarin turned confused, "You are not from this capital?"

Davis nodded his head . He wasn't being honest but with limited information, his lies would be seen through in no time .

"Ah, that explains . . . " The old man's face visibly cleared as he chuckled .

"Just now . . . " Davis uttered .

"Hmm?" Solarin pricked up his ears as he turned to look at him .

"Just now, when you probed me . . . Were you trying to rob and kill me?"

"As the saying goes, it is a sin for a common child to be in possession of a royal treasure . If you were weak, that would be the case no matter where you go . . . "

"But didn't I apologize?" Solarin looked at the card that was placed in the table, a smile lighting up his face .
