Chapter 107: Convincing It
The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
Davis narrowed his eyes as he frowned. To attain power, he needed this existence. He contemplated for a moment before thinking of a solution.
"It might take you billions of years to remove the seal if you were to leave me. Think! If you are with me, it might only take hundreds or thousands of years to regain back your powers!"
"Kid, if I haven't thought about that, could you be still talking with me?" It laughed in a mocking tone.
David smiled wryly but inwardly he was quite angry, "Don't misunderstand, you'll have your souls in due time. It's just that it might take some time if you want quality."
"I know your foolish endeavour of targeting only the people you deem bad, you're quite the hypocrite I must say." It sneered in derision.
Hearing that reply, he was quite ticked off, "I am, I live by my own rules. What are you going to do about it?"
"Nothing, just give me the souls as fast as you can!" It replied in a casual tone.
He shouted back, "I know, it's just that you won't find the quality you're looking for in the second layer anymore!"
"Fool! I indirectly told you to head to the first layer without delay! You're such an idiot!"
"Fine, I'm an idiot!" Davis rolled his eyes. He felt like a fool, trying to argue with an inanimate existence than can talk.
Suddenly, a thought floated up into his mind.
"Hey, you have lived for a long time, right? Why don't you teach me some top-tier cultivation techniques so I can get you some quality souls for you as soon as possible."
"Hehe, kid, trying to take advantage of me? Using me will suffice when you're trying to kill a person to collect their souls, you have no need for cultivation techniques."
"Hmph, I can't keep depending on you! What if there's a way for you to separate away from me without killing me? And you decide to take that opportunity? I'm not taking no for an answer! Quick, teach me!" Davis replied vehemently, he couldn't possibly back out seeing that it did not deny his claims. It didn't say that it did not have but indirectly said that it won't give him the cultivation techniques.
"The scenario you mentioned is not feasible and will not happen, even if by any chance if it were to occur, then I would still devour you after separating!" It replied calmly.
Davis sighed in frustration as he plunged onto his mom's bed.
'Fuck this cultivation world!' He massaged his eyes and slept for a while. He truly had enough of its bullsh*t.
...
*Creak*
"Davis?" The door opened and the sweet voice of Claire sounded out inside the room.
Logan and Clara followed her inside with a grin on their faces.
Davis woke up quickly as he heard the sound of the opening door, "Mom, you're back! What took you so long?"
"Big brother!" Clara came running in and jumped into his embrace.
"Clara! I've missed you so much!" He caressed her head as he smiled warmly.
"It's just that I was carried away by being able to speak my mind. I was just talking to your dad and sister the whole time." Claire replied with a smile on her face.
"Oh..."
"Pssh, mom's lying. Mom and Dad just met with me ten minutes ago!" Floating in his embrace, Clara whispered into his ears.
"Ohhhh!" He had a disappointed expression on his face as he glared at them, but inwardly he was laughing his ass off.
Claire smiled shyly, while Logan stepped to the front.
"Davis, I know that words of gratitude are unneeded right now, but no matter what, I must say that I am very thankful to you for breaking the seal that had been placed on her."
"Furthermore, I want to you convey my thanks to your master as well. Please tell him that the Loret Family will be eternally grateful for his benevolence he has shown to us." Finishing his words in an incomparably thankful tone, Logan bowed and clasped his hands.
"Sure!!" Davis replied as he grinned. He wondered what kind of reaction would they give if he told them that his master didn't exist in the first place.
