Chapter 248 Own A Place To Stay?
Davis knew that to get her out of this delusional state, he must give her a blow that was equivalent to a shock.
'Maybe lightning attacks will do good, no?' 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 couldn't 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 won't leave you..." Davis half kneeled and looked at her eyes.
Natalya blinked, entirely shocked to her core. She couldn't 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, we're leaving..."
Natalya was stunned!
Seeing that she was not moving, he gave her a slight slap on her cheeks, "I said get up, let's 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..."N♡vεlB¡n: Unleashing Imagination, One Read at a Time.
"Yes..." Natalya tremblingly muttered as she thought, 'This person is serious...'
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 wouldn't be standing here right now.
Even so, she hesitantly asked, "Umm... for what reason are we going to an Inn?"
"That's 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 don't say anything, I won't 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 doesn't have a place to stay, wouldn't 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 doesn't 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 wasn't over with that. They simply wouldn't 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."
