Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-45

They immediately surrounded him from both sides.

"Surrender if you know what's good for you." Case shouted.

"Or else you can say goodbye to your life." Cooper threatened.

"Trash spouting nonsense! If you've got guts, go slay my father!" Davis laughed.

"Oh, we'll do that in time! Unfortunately for you, he just left the Royal Capital today." Case grinned.

"And you are the perfect bait for that, hehe." Cooper laughed hideously.

"Now now, don't be in a hurry. We have all the time in the world to talk." Davis had a stiff face when he said that.

"Hmph, trying to delay for reinforcements? Won't work on us brat!"

"No really, I just wanted to know who the mastermind behind your betrayal was..."

They went silent all of a sudden.

"I knew it, there really was someone behind you people!" Davis exclaimed.

"So what? We don't even care if you find out." Case said with a indifferent expression.

"What good is it if you even find out? You won't even be able to escape from us." Cooper shouted.

As he said that, he made his move.

Cooper who was behind Davis rushed at him with an incredible speed.

Davis didn't move at all, he only glanced at the back calmly.

"Hmph, weak and slow! Only useful for leeching off resources!" Cooper thought that Davis was frozen in fear.

Just as he was going to injure Davis with his weapon severely, he collapsed and fell behind Davis crashing and rolling on the ground .

[Cooper Hawkwood

Dies immediately]

He used his soul to write almost instantly just as he saw Cooper make his move.

"Uwaah, I'm just really glad that I managed to breakthrough Peak Infant Soul Stage, or it would be quite problematic for me to kill you two." Davis sighed.

"You! Who are you? You are not the First Prince!" Case dropped his weapon in fear.

Hearing that, Davis sneered. "Idiot!"

"Now then, will you spit out the truth? Or.."

Case turned back and immediately tried to escape without answering.

"Tch, coward!"

Davis still wanted to try out his newly trained powers on him even though he can't win with it.

[Case Farnwen

Immediately turns into my mindless slave, and dies when he hears my voice give the command 'Die, Case']

Just as Case tried to fly away, he stopped mid-air. His eyes turned soulless. He turned back and dropped to the ground on all fours.

"Case Farnwen greets his Master."

'Looks like no one can escape the Death's Note grasp as long as it's within my limits.' Davis thought. Although he had no idea on how long the Death Note will keep him alive, if it reached the limit then it will immediately kill him anyway, so he wasn't worried.

"Who was the mastermind behind the rebellion?"

"It was Emperor Tritor."

"Ah, so it was that vermin, now the war actually makes sense. Why did he target our Empire though?"

"The Loret Empire is filled with riches with it's peaceful disposition. No matter who sees it, it will be a piece of the pie to the empires in the continent."

"What made you all defect to him?" Davis narrowed his eyes.

"He promised us that either we or the Hawkwood Family will succeed as the Royal Family of this Empire with his backing once we have successfully killed all of the Royal Family members. The other noble families were tricked by us into rebellion with various other reasons."

All of his replies were like an automated voice.

'Certainly mindless..'

Davis sighed as he thought. 'Killing Emperor Tritor should be father's job.'

'Sadly, I have no use this for this guy anymore…'

'Hmm… wait a minute. Didn't he say something about assassin or something?"

"You became an assassin?"

"Yes, I have become an assassin."

"Why and when?"

"After we lost the rebellion, we lost support from Emperor Tritor. So I had no choice but to become an assassin to have my revenge against the both Emperor Tritor and Emperor Loret."

"Oh? What ambition! And then, how did you two become an assassin?"

"We joined the Dark Earth Organization to become an assassin."

'Tch… Can't this guy just answer detailedly? Ah right I forgot, he is mindless. Wait! Being an assassin? Isn't this a perfect opportunity for me to collect souls to refine? Hehe' Davis's eyes glowed.

"What is the Dark Earth Organization and how does one join it?"

"The Dark Organization is the strongest assassin organization in this Continent. It's headquarters is rumoured to be situated in the Tritor Empire. It has branches all over the continent. One can approach a branch to register for being an assassin. One has to complete a mission from the branch to be a member."

"Oh, has branches all over the continent. Is there one here?" He calmly continued questioning.

"There is a branch here."

"Where is it?"

"Behind Violet Joy House, there is an entrance underground. That is where the branch of the Dark Earth Organization is situated in."

'Joy House? Isn't that a brothel!?' Davis eyes wide shot open.

'But makes sense, hiding behind a skirt is a means of camouflage as well.'

"Does my father know about this?"

"He knows."

"Eh? Right." Davis was dumbfounded but it made sense.

'Guess offending an assassin organization is a dumb thing to do.'

'The question is… Should I kill this person right now?'

He contemplated for a moment before deciding against to kill him. He didn't want to alert Logan into coming home nor did he want to have their corpses in his Space Ring lest someone finds out by any chance.

"Store his corpse in your space ring and stay in a normal hotel for a month near the Violet Joy House."

"Yes." Case proceeded to store the corpse.

"And oh, where is the Violet Joy House again?" Davis had a peculiar expression when he asked that.

Case explained that and left.

Davis made his way to the Red-Light District. This time he disguised himself as a short old man while activating his Dark Concealing Shroud Art.

Words couldn't describe how he felt while after finally arriving at the Red Light District.

Davis gulped. He could see many women with transparent and loose clothing. Various types of women with different types of revealing clothes. They were all beautiful to a certain extent without any blemishes or pimples in their face.

Davis was cloaked or else he would've been called out by an elder women to enter their brothel already.

'Do they train in some beauty technique?' Davis thought while staring at those women.

He then thought that it was a good thing that he still hasn't hit puberty or else he would have a certain problem currently in the lower part of his body.
