Divine Emperor of Death

"There he goes— targeting a person again for no reason."

"Just because he is the Young Master of the Opulent Shell Company, he knows no bounds. Even the City Lord's son doesn't dare offend him."

"Shh~ The Opulent Shell Company has multiple Empyreans and Autarchs in its fray. They are said to be loosely bound, but It's best not to offend them."

"That black-robed person he crashed into is a woman, right? They sounded like a woman. I hope it's a man. Otherwise, no one can save her from being used and thrown away by him."

"Bad luck because judging from the build, it's obviously a woman. We can only hope the group she is in is able to handle it, but if they could handle it, they wouldn't be dressed in black robes and openly strut their identity."

"True…"

The onlookers gathered and began to watch the scene as though it was just a weekly activity.

Abruptly, the restaurant manager appeared on the scene as he ran out of the restaurant. He cupped his hands to both parties.

"Respected cultivators, please don't make a scene before the restaurant. Young Master Reiwu, your father warned us to detain you the next time you come here and make trouble. Are you sure you want to continue with this farce?"

"Oh, sure." The white-robed man, Young Master Reiwu, scoffed amusingly, "Go ahead and detain me. I have other Autarchs who would like to curry favor with me. Would you like to watch your restaurant disappear within the next year or even sooner?"

"…"

The restaurant manager's expression sank. He glared at Young Master Reiwu before he sighed and shot an apologetic smile towards Frostrose's group before he left the scene.

Davis saw the restaurant manager get back into the restaurant. He was a Level Nine Sovereign and helped them get a private room and maintained decorum and privacy throughout their dining session. It could be said he was of great help, but he dared not offend Young Master Reiwu.

However, Davis's mood improved a bit. He turned to look at Young Master Reiwu.

"Are you the great Opulent Shell Company's Young Master?" He couldn't help but grin behind his mask.

"Haha. Indeed, I am the great Young Master Reiwu. It's too late to kowtow and apologize, though."

"I see."

Davis never thought a key to a door would walk to him just like that.

The identity of Bandit Emperor Rekan Lockette was probably compromised already, so he didn't bother to use it again. So he was troubled about how to get into the auction house covertly or just storm inside and take the rabbit away in one fell swoop.

"What do you suggest we do?"

"Suggest? You think you have any leverage while talking to me? Why aren't you kneeling down yet?" Young Master Reiwu scoffed.

"I'll give three breaths time to kneel and beg for mercy. You know what you should do."

He reached out his hand and looked as though he was grabbing empty air, but the direction in which he was extending his hand was towards Frostrose. He was indirectly yet obviously demanded that they hand over Frostrose.

Frostrose, Flamerose, and the others looked at each other.

They were mortified… for him.

"Aiyo, don't be like that, Young Master Reiwu. Aren't we friends?"

Davis walked towards him and put an arm around him.

"You-" Young Master Reiwu couldn't look any more offended as he stared at Davis's eyes.

For some reason, he couldn't make a move, feeling something amiss. Instead, he turned to look at his bodyguards, indicating that they should do something.

"Die!"

The bodyguard who belittled Mingzhi soared. His undulations were of Level One Sovereign Stage, but his prowess instantly became clear when he slashed with his bronze sword. It was almost five levels higher, putting him in the ranks of the topmost geniuses, just below supreme geniuses.

Everyone was shocked at that sudden surge in strength.

They knew he wouldn't be nameless and instantly saw that he was the number two ranked genius in this city, causing clamor to erupt.

However, just as the bronze sword fell on Davis's neck, it cracked from the area of impact and shattered.

"…"

For a moment, something as obscure as silence resounded in the street. Every onlooker's eyes bulged as though they had seen something unrealistic.

The powerful bodyguard took back the hilt and looked at the broken bronze sword. They were prized treasures of the Reiwu Family, each bronze sword at High-Level Sovereign Grade. It was impossible for them to break unless the other party was an…

"Em… an Empyrean…?"

His jaws began to tremble as he took a step back, looking at the black-robed masked man with fear and incredulity.

"So… I was saying… weren't we friends?"

Davis inclined his head, staring at Young Master Reiwu, who had gone deathly silent.

"Wait…"

"What? We aren't friends?" Davis's gaze looked shocked.

"No, no. We are friends...!"

Young Master Reiwu forced a bright smile. His expression was full of panic.

No matter how arrogant he was, he wasn't foolish enough to offend an Empyrean unless their lives were at stake.

"Great!"

Davis turned him and grabbed his shoulders, sounding joyous.

"Since we're friends, I would like to ask you a favor. I want what you want, so why not take me to your auction house? I heard they sell some exotic goods all the time."

"Oh-!"

Young Master Reiwu's eyes widened. He suddenly looked at Davis as though he was a kindred spirit.

"Brother, leave it to me. No matter what you want, it's all on me as long as you don't go above what I can purchase."

"Hahaha! Well said. Don't worry. If what I want is too expensive, then I will treat you to resources that you would never get your hands on!"

"Ahaha! You're truly my friend!" Young Master Reiwu also grabbed Davis's shoulders as they laughed.

"…"

The onlookers were extremely disgusted. This was just a case of evil meeting evil, but they dared not show their disgust too long and went away. No one dared to ask or pursue justice.

On the other hand, Mingzhi and the others cast a sorry look at Young Master Reiwu. Once Davis was done with him, it was unknown what kind of torture he would go through since he targeted Frostrose even after giving him a chance to retract his statement.

Davis patted Young Master Reiwu on the shoulder and had him show the way.

Young Master Reiwu was himself a Level Three Sovereign. The bodyguards he brought were rather of subpar quality, except the one who used his sword on him. From this, it could be seen that Young Master Reiwu's father really did strip authority from him and wanted to discipline him. Then again, Davis could sense around six Level Seven Sovereigns closely watching even before this trouble began. They never moved from their place as though they were the true protectors of Young Master Reiwu.

If he had made a move, then they would've joined the fray. Then, the resulting commotion would've attracted the City Lord as well as the auction house owners.

Right now, he simply wanted to get into the auction house. The goods would probably be in an underground cell or a separate space. That's where he presumed he could also find the Lunar Blackclaw Rabbit.
