Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1870: I Want Out

Ancestor Krane Parazenʼs expression froze as he foresaw the trouble that would ensue in his eyes with the arrival of Young Master Faus. He actually didnʼt expect the other party to visit, stating a reason like treating Dalila Leehan because Young Master Fausʼs status was far higher than what Dalila Leehan could compare.

Even he himself was not worthy of being spoken in the same length if one were to take status alone into the equation because Young Master Faus is currently designated to become the next Palace Master of the Glorious Pill Palace!

Young Master Faus was walking on the path of glory where Dalila Leehan should be immensely thankful that she could be married to him, but now, she was hesitant?

Whatʼs going on here?

Davis also shot a glance at the so-called Young Master Faus. However, he didnʼt even know about his name or status but could see that he held a high reputation by bringing two female Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses to treat Dalila Leehan.

On the other hand, Young Master Fausʼs heart fell.

He couldnʼt tell what was going on here.

He left the Glorious Pill Palaceʼs seating area and entered the inner layer of the battle arena when Dalila Leehan left the battle stage, making his way in a roundabout manner so that he doesnʼt bring much attention to himself as the deal was still supposed to be secret, so he was not aware of Davisʼs appearance, much less his actions so far.

Dalila Leehan heaved a breath while her mouth was still agape from her pause.

”… It seems like there is a first to everything.” Her lips moved again as she continued, ”I want out of this marriage agreement.”

”What!?”

It was not Young Master Faus who shouted but Ancestor Krane Parazen. He stared at Dalila Leehan and couldnʼt believe the audacity of this young woman to be doing a one-eighty now when everything was already almost a done deal.

Dalila Leehan appeared shaken from receiving the heavy pressure from her ancestor. She glanced at Davisʼs eyes and saw that it was indifferent as though observing her. Biting her lips, she spoke again.

”Iʼm not willing to live a life that I do not want. When I said that I agree, I did not want to disappoint the power that nurtured me to this level. I lied to myself that everything would be fine. But if it means that Iʼm going to be unhappy, making me live a miserable life, then I donʼt want it!”

”Preposterous!”

Dalila Leehan trembled ever so lightly from the loud voice.

But this time, it wasnʼt Ancestor Krane Parazen who shouted by Young Master Faus.

”Krane Parazen! What is the meaning of this!?”

Young Master Fausʼs voice was frigidly cold. He stared at them with a sharp light gleaming in his eyes, appearing stiff with clenched fists while his angered voice instantly created a scene that attracted the crowdʼs attention, and slowly, many people were turning to look at him and the ensuing commotion.

Ancestor Krane Parazen was practically shaking in his feet. He hurriedly flew towards Young Master Faus and tried to placate him.

”Young Master Faus. Dalila is just confused. She doesnʼt know what sheʼs talking about. Let me handle this while you stand back and watch.”

”Stand back and watch? Why is he… here? Standing beside my Dalila…”

Young Master Fausʼs expression twitched as he pointed at Davis but then quickly took it back.

”Young Master Faus. This is the first time weʼre meeting, but youʼre already claiming that Iʼm yours?”

Dalila Leehan angrily uttered. She didnʼt seem to be scared but angered that he associated her with himself.

”I am!” Young Master Faus waved his hand, ”The moment you agreed, you became mine! I fancied you and gave you resources to grow this strong, and now youʼre claiming that you want to leave without paying the due tab? How pretentious and selfish can one be? Iʼm disappointed in you!”

”Like I care if youʼre disappointed in me.”

Dalila Leehan clenched her teeth, her eyes becoming tearful as she sensed disgusted gazes from the surroundings. However, she was too scared to see the gaze of the person she cared the most about, but since things had gotten to this point, she no longer cared to hold herself back.

”You just want your resources back, right? Give me some time. Iʼll give them back to you.”

”You foolish woman.” Young Master Faus scoffed, ”Thatʼs now how it works. We exchanged specific types of resources bound by conditions. I have no use for the wealth you would reimburse me. Besides, whatʼs wrong with considering you mine since weʼre going to marry sooner or later? How can I let you go just like that!? Come here!”

”You…!”

Young Master Faus looked livid, while Dalila Leehan looked enraged. However, he didnʼt close the distance, his gaze landing on Davis occasionally in nervousness, afraid to think it was what he thought it was.

Ancestor Krane Parazen saw the situation spiraling out of control. He kept placating Young Master Faus, but it seemed that his words fell on deaf ears.

”Person named Faus.”

At this moment, Davis opened his mouth, and everyone couldnʼt help but straighten their backs, especially the one who had his name called.

”Did you know that Dalila has fought me before in an alchemy exchange and lost?”

Young Master Faus appeared taken aback before he scoffed.

”So what?”

Was that supposed to stain Dalilaʼs name? However, Davis shook his head.

”Not only do I her respect her alchemy skills, but she also owes me a favor because she lost to me on that day.”

”What? I donʼt believe it!”

”You can ask the others who know, but you donʼt need to.” Davis shrugged, ”If I said that she owes me, then she owes me.”

”You…!” Young Master Fausʼs hand moved to point at Davis, but he froze and then waved his sleeves instead, ”You canʼt come and talk like this to a woman who is already promised to someone else. You are ruining her reputation! And just because you have power doesnʼt mean you can be unscrupulous! What happened to all those statements you made when the Dragon Families tried to take away the Earth Dragon Queen!? What makes you any different if you act like this!?”

Davis blinked before he couldnʼt help but chuckle.

The righteous path truly had its way with words.

”Did you not hear Dalilaʼs wishes? She certainly doesnʼt wish to marry you or anyone else from the Glorious Pill Palace, unlike Isabella and I, who were already married and mutually in love with each other.”

He was pissed that Isabella was brought into this matter, but he could understand the other partyʼs outrage. No man would like their fiancee to be taken away just like that, but this man wasnʼt even engaged with Dalila Leehan for him to be this crazed.

From what he heard so far, their marriage agreement was just a part of a deal and was not exclusive, and it probably wasnʼt long since this happened either, considering that Dalila Leehan didnʼt even meet Young Master Faus yet, according to her statement.

And indeed, after Davis spoke, Young Master Faus looked stumped to answer his question.

”Thatʼs right! I attest that my friend Dalila Leehan doesnʼt want any part of this marriage.”

Suddenly, a white-robed woman entered the scene, flying straight from the battle stage, and it turned out to be none other than Nora Alstreim.

ʼWhat a bold woman...ʼ Davis couldnʼt help but smile at his second mother, ʼShe has the courage to come here and make a bold statement even though she was that scared to ask me. She mustʼve felt she was going overboard in requesting me, huh...ʼ

”Itʼs you…!”

Young Master Faus clenched his teeth as he finally understood why Dalila Leehan would change her mind suddenly out of nowhere. He had been watching Dalila Leehanʼs projection, and after Nora entered Dalila Leehanʼs tent, the latter didnʼt get out of it, making him now think that she corrupted Dalila Leehanʼs mind with unneeded thoughts.

”Have we met before?” Nora narrowed her eyes before she shook her head, ”Doesnʼt matter. My friend said that she doesnʼt want to live a life like this, and I will do everything in my power to stop this unfair deal from happening, including having my son Davis, the Emperor of Death, crush all agreements that seek to ruin my friendʼs life!”

”You…!”

Young Master Faus looked incensed as he trembled. They were openly robbing him of his bride, and he could do nothing about it but point his hands like an idiot!

The crowd, on the other hand, was practically dumbfounded. It wasnʼt like they witnessed events like these before. Heck, they witnessed it many times yesterday night, happening to smaller powers. However, this was the Young Master of the Glorious Pill Palace that theyʼre talking about, and it seemed like the Emperor of Death was trying to cuckold him?
