Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-677

'Mhm~ Jokes apart... I should not really make this as a competition, otherwise, they might literally fight for me which I can't afford to have because I need them both...' 

Davis knew the consequences of his actions. He felt that he should not resort to these actions as it was truly unfair.

He looked at the two of them and saw that their eyes were sparkling.

However, Natalya looked extremely worried. It could be seen that she was still afraid of the harmless Poison Master but even then, she didn't want to give him up in this first bout of displaying their love, perhaps even obsession.

At this time, a wave of extreme undulations spread throughout the entire city. The clouds above them shook greatly as if it would almost collapse, especially at a single point above them in the central region.

Davis flew above with the two women by his side, his hands over their two soft and supple waists.

He blinked and looked at that point which vaguely looked like it was burning under heat. A smirk automatically lit upon his face as he knew what had happened!

Looking at his smile, Evelynn could discern that Davis knew something about the extraordinary undulations still spreading and the second level of the city.

"What's happening?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Mn?" Davis grinned even more as he felt that he could finally relax, "The deaths of the Second Prince and the mysterious shadowy figure who seemed to be skilled in illusions..." 

Evelynn who was up to date and Natalya who knew a thing or two about these two people, became shocked as they hung their mouth agape!

They couldn't help but take a second look at that single point over the cloud, wanting to see through it to reinforce what was happening in their minds.

'Good riddance...' Davis gloated, "Right now, the Royal Palace of the Second Prince should've completely collapsed, perhaps even affecting the other Royal Palaces if they were close..."

He recalled the self-destruction of the Peak-Level Seventh Stage Expert that exterminated almost all beings in the ten kilometers range... What needs to be said about a Low-Level Eighth Stage Expert's self-destruction? 

Wouldn't the entire fifty kilometers radius perhaps be a goner?

But Davis knew that it shouldn't be the case as he looked at the single point of a glow above the cloud formation.

"It looks like the cloud formation also acts as a defensive formation, so the destruction should've been kept to a minimum..." Davis narrowed his eyes, "Judging by its prowess, it should be no lower than a Mid-Level Emperor Grade Formation that protects the entire third level..."

Evelynn and Natalya listened to him speak but since they couldn't understand the intricacies; the reason behind the explosion of Eighth Stage undulations, they could only nod their heads in agreement.

Davis's lips were still curved.

The fact that the Second Prince exploded meant that someone had ordered him to kill the Conferred Queen!

How can he let two Eighth Stage Experts flee just like that? Only to let them strike back at him later? 

He wasn't that naive!

So what if he couldn't see the shadow person's name and figure? 

All he had to do was have the Second Prince who had greatly offended him to kill! Making him self-destruct was just one of the clear ways he could get rid of the shadow person.

However, he didn't want to just kill the shadow person but kill all of them! If there was a true mastermind hidden behind the curtains, he included an unknown person in his plan to kill as well.

Hence, he told Fallen Heaven this...

[Make Keith Ethren self-destruct if someone tells him to harm Conferred Queen Isabella or her subordinates in any way, making him take that someone along with him to death.]

Whether it be the shadow person or another mastermind hiding behind the shadows, this command and condition would mostly help him nip the bud before he or his family gets pushed into dire straits by those two powerful experts.

As for granting a chance to the Third Prince to prove himself...

Who cared?

Although the matter failed, the blame of the investigation on the Conferred Queen has been pushed to the Second Prince already, hence even if the Second Prince became a Martyr, it would remain that he offended the Conferred Queen and the Alstreim Family.

So Davis felt that the Third Prince would only feel confused at what had happened and not find any fault with them. The Third Prince would only think why his second brother decided to self-destruct rather than doubting the Conferred Queen's protector.

Because there was the matter of the shadowy figure looming around before, Davis felt that the Third Prince would undoubtedly cast their suspicions to that mysterious expert rather than him or the Conferred Queen.

'But... The palace maids and other servants in the Royal Palace should've all died as well...'

Davis felt pitiful for these souls but if given the chance again, he felt that he would do the same. In his mind and heart, the weight of a trillion or more lives wouldn't even compare to his single loved one, let alone his entire family who were temporarily in danger because of the two escaped experts.

He wanted to be no hero but only safeguard his family like any other selfish yet family-oriented man would do... For that, he felt that he would go to any lengths, even turning against the entire cultivation if he needed to do so.

Davis's palms left their waists as he patted their bottoms.

Evelynn and Natalya became startled by they heard him speak.

"Evelynn, take Natalya to our building and assign her a room. Perhaps, there will be a hostile company sooner, so I need to stay on guard. In the meantime, you can talk to each other... After all, you're both my women from now on..." Davis forcefully declared his opinion.

He realized that he needed to be extremely shameless if he were to take care of two, no, three women at the same time!

Evelynn blinked once before she nodded her head.

However, Natalya on the other hand had a worried expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Davis noticed and asked.

Natalya deeply hesitated before she spoke, "My family..."

It wasn't about Evelynn's poisonous hands but about her family that she left to pursue her future with Davis. She had worried when she came here but when she saw this explosion of high-intensity undulations occur, she became even more afraid, thinking her family would become a scapegoat.

After all, she knew that her grandfather was partly a reason for this whole mess. She did not doubt that the Ethren Royal Family would hold her grandfather accountable.

"Wouldn't the Third Prince's subordinate protect your grandfather?" Davis asked.

Natalya bit her lips.

"I don't know... I don't believe him, I only believe you..."

Davis blinked as he irrevocably felt heartened. 

He knew that there was a chance that she was just saying this to get him to protect her family... But if she didn't believe him, would she have decided to give her body? Give her time? Give her everything to him?

Hence, his heart sensed that she really meant what she said.

Davis sighed, "If I brought your family to this place even with their consent, it might be seen as a betrayal to the Third Prince or the Third Prince could also interpret this move of mine in some hostile way..."

"I..." Natalya didn't know what to say anymore.

She did not want to give Davis trouble but she also didn't want to lose her family. 

"I'll keep an eye on your family in secret." Davis smiled and shuffled her black hair with his hand.

Natalya's lips quivered as her eyes became moist. She bit her lips and heavily nodded her head, expressing her gratitude to this matter.
