Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 248

Davis knew that to get her out of this delusional state, he must give her a blow that was equivalent to a shock .

ʼMaybe lightning attacks will do good, no?ʼ He amusingly thought but was earnestly considering what to do though leaving her like this was also one of his options .

Contrary to what he thought, Natalya could clearly see him but had no intention to leave him since she had already seen him as her savior; benefactor .

But since her state of mind was not right, she couldnʼt even explain why she acted like this .

In fact, if onlookers were to look at them, they would guess that the woman was just desperate to obtain a wealthy backer or the man was cruelly betraying the pleading woman .

After thinking it through, Davis decided . He let out a deep sigh before removing his raven shaped mask .

Of course, he was still cautious and activated his Soul Sense that was enough to cover their blind spots from the unknown .

”Alright, I wonʼt leave you . . . ” Davis half kneeled and looked at her eyes .

Natalya blinked, entirely shocked to her core . She couldnʼt believe her eyes so much that it brought her out of her trauma .

”You . . . you are him?” Natalya slowly questioned, still not believing her eyes .

”Yes . . . ” Saying so, Davis wore his mask again, ”Get up, weʼre leaving . . . ”

Natalya was stunned!

Seeing that she was not moving, he gave her a slight slap on her cheeks, ”I said get up, letʼs leave . . . ”

Natalya woke up from her reverie . She instantly stood up, towering above him with a stiff expression on her face .

Davis also stood up and uttered coldly, ”Forget what you saw! If I see you speaking about this, I will put an end to you . . . ”

”Yes . . . ” Natalya tremblingly muttered as she thought, ʼThis person is serious . . . ʼ

She didnʼt even dare to think of him as a youngster as she put that thought to the back of her mind .

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Davis changed his clothes, wearing an alchemist robe and his previous mask . He gave her another mask which she also wore after storing away that raven shaped mask in her spatial ring .

He went out of the alleyway while she closely followed behind him .

It was currently dawn and was the time when few people were rushing through the streets .

Davis looked around, ʼWhere is this place exactly?ʼ He knew that he was somewhere around the entrance to the underground auction, but couldnʼt accurately pinpoint his location .

ʼThatʼs right, isnʼt she a person of this capital?ʼ Davis thought and turned back to face her .

Seeing him suddenly taking a turn to look at her, Natalya felt nervous . She clenched her fists, not knowing what he was going to do to her .

Although she decided to follow him, her decision was entirely made up of emotions, not logical thinking or trust . One of the reigning emotions in her heart right now was that she felt safe but . . .

Her logical reasoning said that this man was still dangerous, or should she say that this ʼyoung manʼ was still dangerous .

Davis opened his mouth, ”Where is this place?”

”Eh?” Natalya was startled .

ʼHmm? Was my question difficult to understand?ʼ

”Do you know where this place is?” Davis questioned again, this time rephrasing his question .

Natalya who was dazed by his question came back to herself, ”Let me take a look . . . ”

She quickly ran past him and skimmed the street with her eyes while thinking, ʼGoodness gracious, he was just lost . . . ʼ

Running back to him, she nodded her head, ”I know this place . . . ”

”Good, now lead me to Arashiʼs Luxurious Inn . . . ” Davis nodded his head . Since he had decided to take care of her, he was not going to do it for free .

”Huh? Arashiʼs Luxurious Inn!?” Natalya inadvertently let out a yelp .

Davis replied, ”Yes . . . ”

One moment she thought that Davis was going to take her to the Inn to do the deed but realized that if he had such intentions, then she really wouldnʼt be standing here right now .

Even so, she hesitantly asked, ”Umm . . . for what reason are we going to an Inn?”

”Thatʼs where I stay for the time being . . . ” Davis casually answered, not having an inkling of what she was thinking .

Natalya inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, ”Ah, I see . . . ”

Instantly, she remembered something but was hesitant to speak her mind . She lifted up her finger wanting to say something but ultimately dropped it down .

Davis noticed it and furrowed his brows, ”If you have something to say, say it . If you donʼt say anything, I wonʼt understand nor will you be able to stay beside me for long . . . ”

Natalya hung her head for a while before lifting up her head, ”The place where my parents and I lived would still be up for auction . . . I just wondered if y . . . ”

”Scythe . . . ” He added .

Natalya nodded, ” . . . If Benefactor Scythe doesnʼt have a place to stay, wouldnʼt it be beneficial to have your own place to stay . . . ”

”You mean to say that not only your parents sold you, but sold their own place as well?” Davis interjected .

Natalya stiffened and dropped her head down with a dejected expression on her face .

Davis realized that he was too harsh with his words, but decided to not comfort her because he thought that she needed to face reality in order to get over her trauma or her past .

Trying to hold back her tears, Natalya balled her fists . She looked back up and said, ”Yes . . . ”

”Can I know the reason?” Davis questioned .

Gently sighing, she opened her mouth, ” . . . My family is a sub-branch of Astoria Family . A Mid-Level Sky Grade Power . ”

”Originally, my father married into the Astoria Family by marrying my mother, who doesnʼt have any special status in the family . ”

”Everything was well until the young master from the main branch unknowingly offended the Royal Xuan Family 10 years ago . He was publically executed at that time . ”

”But the problem wasnʼt over with that . They simply wouldnʼt let us survive . Our businesses got closed down, our best experts mysteriously disappeared, leaving no one strong enough to take care of the entire family in these short 10 years . ”
