Divine Emperor of Death

Drake and Kara visibly froze.

This information revealed by Davis resounded in their ears as if an explosive just went out near them.

Davis continued casually, "You see, I don't wish to hide anything since I've decided to befriend you. Before making a move on you, I also peeped and listened to the conversation you two were having..."

Drake was stunned and Kara also went pale.

"Well, don't get me wrong. I only decided to make contact with you after I've seen your character and deemed it to be good, after all, from my perspective, you were nothing more than the pervert who bid on Kara in the underground auction at that time."

Drake's eyes were wide open as he looked at Davis. Kara put her head down while she blushed in shame.

Doesn't this mean that this person had already seen her half-naked body at that time? Although she was not naked, it was still enough to cause her immense embarrassment.

"You told me all this just so you could sincerely befriend me? Drake asked in a bewildered tone.

He truly couldn't understand what Davis was thinking. Moreover, faint anger welled up in him as though it was about to explode.

"Mhm..." Davis nodded.

It wasn't like he didn't understand the implications of his own words.

Sooner or later, if he had befriended him at a certain point, then he was sure that eventually, him being present at the underground auction would one day be revealed which would worsen their friendship.

So why not just tell the truth about it so that he could gain their trust sooner? The worse that could happen now would be that their newly formed relationship could worsen.

But if he cared about that at the start, then there was no need to talk about becoming true friends, right?

"Yes, besides, I only tailed you guys after you took down the magical beast and returned to this camp," Davis replied in a convincing tone.

Drake took this information to his head and found it quite difficult to process.

Should he attack Davis now that he had heard that Davis was spying on him and his woman from Davis's own mouth?

Drake had an amused expression on his face, "What do you hope to achieve by telling me this? You could have just let this matter slide by right?"

"Let this matter slide by? I know you would be angered by what I said, but compared to developing mutual trust between us, this is a small price to pay."

Davis spread out his hands and said it as if was a matter of fact.

"It wouldn't take a genius to find about this matter after I revealed my cultivation base. Besides, you two would put up your guard against me, so I thought it would be just better to reveal what I was up to at the time before we met..."

Drake's eyes twitched as he sighed, "You throw off my pace... I don't like you already..."

'As expected...' Davis thought as he too sighed.

It wasn't like he was expecting anything good to come out of this confession but he still wanted to try and leave a good impression, proper enough to create a friendly bond.

"But, I will thank you for being honest with us..." Drake replied with a smile on his face, "But, the next time you spy on us, I will fucking kill you!"

Davis laughed silently on hearing his words but didn't take it to heart since he would also be enraged if he learned that someone was spying on him and his woman.

'Kill? I don't think you can probably do that, not with your strength...' But he inwardly shook his head.

"You said that we could guess what had happened if you reveal your cultivation?" Kara doubtfully asked, except her expression was slightly dismayed.

Davis turned to gaze at her, "As you've seen before, I've already reached Peak-Level Silver Stage."

Kara nodded, "That, we already have seen."

"Don't tell me you were suppressing your Essence Gathering Cultivation or something like that?" Drake responded in a joking tone.

Davis turned to look back at Drake, "No, I've only reached Peak-Level Revolving Core Stage..."

Drake narrowed his eyes, "Then what about your Soul Forging Cultivation?"

He didn't one bit look down on Davis when he heard him say that he had reached only the peak of the third stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation.

That was because he could more or less find out about Davis's age from his outer appearance.

Davis opened his mouth as he lifted up a single finger "Low-Level Elder Soul Stage..."

A faint aura of dark-like law permeated around the tip of his finger.

"Elder Soul Stage..." Drake muttered with a flabbergasted expression on his face.

He could tell what Davis said was true as he could feel the soul force radiating around the tip of Davis's finger.

"... No wonder you could stay hidden from us..." Kara also had her eyes widened from surprise but she also felt a little bit of fear as she felt that dark-like law eerie to the extreme.

"That's right, after showing this, you guys will inevitably put up your guard against me..." Davis nodded.

Drake had an embarrassed expression on his face but he awkwardly laughed it off, "Haha, I bet you were secretly laughing your ass off when I said that I will kill you..."

Davis rolled his eyes and a slight grin emerged on his lips.

'Bastard, you realized that you had the upper hand, so you made the first contact...' Drake finally realized why the other party was so calm and composed in front of the two of them even though he was younger than them.

"Since you already knew about it, I might as well not hide it anymore..." Kara sighed as she stood up, "I was born in the Moonridge Kingdom as the thirteenth and the last princess."

"My father, the King died when I was 30 years old while my mother was brutally killed when the Kingdom was invaded by the Unris Kingdom approximately 5 years ago."

Her fragile shoulders slightly trembled as she remembered the nightmare she had experienced.

"As for my siblings and blood relatives, most of them were also brutally killed while some of them were taken as slaves..."

"After that, each of us was separated and sent to different places to be sold." After saying this, her shoulders stopped trembling.

"As you can see, right now, I owe my life to Drake." A single tear silently shed from her eyes, "That makes him my benefactor..."

Once she realized what she had said, she wiped away her tears and kept staring at Drake.

Drake had a wry smile on his face, "Is that what you think of me?"

"My current cultivation is at Low-Level Law Seed Stage, Peak-Level Bronze Stage, Peak Level Infant Soul Stage."

Kara then went silent but Drake was glad that she had finally opened up about her past to him. Her words were simple and short but the emotions behind it were vast as the raging seas.

But still? A benefactor? He didn't want that title at all. He wanted to be her man!

Davis glanced at the both of them and muttered in a deadpan manner, "I see you two only have eyes for each other, even going as far as to ignore my existence to shamelessly flirt with each other..."

Kara was startled! She instantly panicked and blushed as she avoided Drake's gaze.

Drake was annoyed when Davis interrupted them but seeing that it had an advantageous effect for him, he secretly gave a thumbs-up to Davis.
