Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 211 Separation

Before Lucia left, she left them with a few words, "If things aren't going well, come find me at Cloud Spring Mercenaries, and be sure to mention my name, Lucia…"

A few moments later, they both came out of their reverie before Nina sadly uttered, "I can't believe second uncle would go this far…"

"That bastard! He has to be behind this! I knew it!" Glyn hatefully grit his teeth, "All this to get his daughter married to your soon-to-be husband?"

"Since you are so ruthless, I'll show how ruthless I can be!" Glyn's eyes flashed past with hatred.

…

When they came out from inside the mountain caverns, Davis looked at their countenance and verified that they were not injured except for a few tears and holes in their uniforms.

While they were on their way out, he saw many bandits having hidden daggers laced with poison on them, except they didn't have the chance to use them.

Still, Davis was worried about these two and asked to check themselves for any kind of hidden injuries.

After doing all this, just when he was about to head to the ruins, he suddenly turned alert before warning Lucas and Lucia silently.

After using his Soul Sense to scout out the presence he felt, he relaxed.

"Captain Gyrus, for what reason have you appeared now?"

A few moments passed in silence before a gloomy voice rang out, "Sigh, I am already surpassed by a twelve-year-old kid… Where should I even put this old face of mine right now?"

A man with a scar on his face emerged from the shadows of the rocks obstructing their view.

"Young Master Lucas and Young Miss Lucia, Master has requested for your presence immediately."

Lucas and Lucia were already stunned when they heard Davis say Captain Gyrus, now, they were flabbergasted before turning reluctant.

"No way! We won't come!" Lucas immediately denied.

"That's right! If you're worried about our safety, then you can stick with us in the shadows. Actually, Davis alone is enough to protect us and he didn't put us in harm's way in any circumstances." Lucia added in as she was worried that her father still didn't believe in Davis.

She did see Davis's roundabout way of teaching Glyn some sense, so she was somewhat sure that he will not plot against them.

Hearing their opinions, Gyrus nodded, "Yes, I have no doubt about it but Master said that you two would have to improve your Body Tempering Cultivation, otherwise while leaving for the recruitment event, you two would be severely disadvantaged."

"You sure you want to make them do this? Body Tempering Cultivation is no joke, most wouldn't think of harming themselves while some lack the will." Davis uttered as he glanced over them as if checking them out.

And as expected, easy to provoke targets riled up.

"Hey! Who is lacking will? I'm not!" Lucia pointed at him and fumed.

"Pfft… Body Tempering Cultivation? Easy as breaking a sweat!" Lucas scoffed.

Davis didn't say anything but just grinned.

When one reaches the Silver Stage, not only the meridians, tendons, and bones were tempered but also the organs.

The excruciating pain while tempering organs is something which one does not simply want to experience!

In time, they would soon come to know the pain, or so Davis mused.

"Still, there's only a single mission left, and that too involves nothing but an investigation mission…" Lucia reluctantly muttered as she still wanted to experience the outside world with the two of them.

While this was true, she had never seen a tomb before, so wanting to sightsee in the name of the investigation was also her plan.

"Sigh, Young Miss, Jawan has broken through the Seventh Stage, Law Dominion Stage…"

Hearing the piece of news, Lucas and Lucia turned stiff.

"But he still isn't a match for father, is he?" Lucas questioned.

Gyrus shook his head, "Of course not. Even if he breaks through two more times, he still won't be but, he can certainly hunt you two down secretly."

Lucas's heart tightened. He nodded his head and uttered, "Hmm, we'll return…"

Although Lucia felt reluctant, she also nodded her head instantly. They both were able to decide in an instant once they knew the tables have turned on them.

Gyrus felt relieved and turned his head, "Then Young Hero Davis, we bid farewell…"

"Wait! Who exactly is Jawan and why is he targeting Leader Daniuis and his family?" Davis quickly questioned while not bothering about the honorific he was called with.

Although he wanted no part of it, he did not want to be ignorant about the situation, lest he incurs a powerful enemy's wrath due to a slight on his part.

Gyrus's eyes lit up, it was almost as if he was expecting to be asked this question.

"Where do I start from? When the Cloud Spring Mercenaries Headquarters was established, it immediately became a Low-Level King Grade Power! So when it tried to expand its influence, it received backlash from every other mercenary group existing in this Tripartite Alliance Territory."

"And as one would expect, the Cloud Spring Mercenaries quickly showed its power and dominated the other mercenary groups! Those who submitted were turned into branches, and those who struggled till the end were massacred without question!"

"Jawan owned a mercenary group, except, it was a Peak-Level Sky Grade Power. His schemes run deep, so the first thing he did was submit to us to earn the position of Vice-Leader in our Cloud Spring Mercenaries through gaining achievements."

"Now that he has broken through the Law Dominion Stage, we simply cannot afford to let our guard down anymore, otherwise it'll be easy for him to divide and conquer us!"

Davis blinked, "Couldn't Leader Daniuis just kill him and be just done with it?"

Gyrus sighed and slowly shook his head, "Jawan has the backing of the Tripartite Alliance, so without concrete evidence, we can't make a move on him."

"Is Jawan that much of an important person?"

"Jawan isn't something that big of a person but, the Tripartite Alliance doesn't wish any power to be stronger than them! So, they are merely trying to make the Cloud Spring Mercenaries self-destruct by itself…"

"I see…" Davis now had the whole picture in his mind, albeit vague.

In any case, he had no plans of interfering in this mess because the moment he clashed with a Law Dominion Stage Expert, he would undoubtedly die a cruel death!

Maybe, he would even be Insta-killed! Not knowing how he died…

A few moments later after they had left bidding farewell, Davis continued heading west to reach the West End Valley.
