A week later.
A youth dressed in princely robes walked towards the quarters where the princes stayed. He crossed a few corridors and arrived at the location where the Emperor’s Seventh Brother stayed.
The youth was none other than Davis.
The Emperor’s Seventh Brother; Viktor, stayed with his woman in his newly assigned room. It was unknown whether if he had already married her or not, but her presence had already become a widely discussed topic in the Royal Castle.
After all, she wore glasses and a white coat over her garments. It was something that they had never seen before. However, the most important matter they couldn’t understand was why Viktor brought a mortal woman instead of a cultivator to marry.
Davis didn’t have an inkling of Viktor’s thoughts but he knew that the clothes and the glasses the woman wore were something unique; that both belonged to Planet Earth! Not the Grand Sea Continent!
Davis stood in front of a door and knocked on it before he waited for the response.
"Come in..." A depressed yet deep voice echoed.
Davis opened the door as he went inside.
In the room, the two figures he expected to see were present but there was another figure as well.
It was none other than Jonas; the Emperor’s Eighth Brother.
"You are?" Viktor narrowed his eyes as he asked in a soft tone.
Before Davis could answer, Jonas, replied, "He’s Davis, Fifth Brother’s prodigal son. The one I was talking about..."
Jonas had a curve up his lips as if he was proud for some reason.
He had come out depression sooner than he thought he would, but the reason why he could stand up straight lied within his guiltiness.
He had gone around asking people what had happened two decades ago, and the answer he received from all the people left him feeling ashamed of himself for none other than feeling suspicious of his Fifth Brother, Logan.
He had thought his Fifth Brother wrongfully and used evil schemes to claim the throne but reality had been quite different, making him feel immense guilt which then helped him recover from depression.
The latter happened when he learned about his Fifth Brother’s deeds and turned proud, especially when he heard about his Fifth Brother’s son, Crown Prince Davis.
Viktor widened his eyes in surprise, "So you are Davis... I’ve just heard a lot about you from Jonas a while ago..."
He stood up and clasped his hands, "I want to thank your master for saving the Loret Empire from extermination!"
He lifted up his head and added, "Please relay my thanks!"
Jonas slightly shook his head, thinking that his twin brother was overly proper.
Yesterday, Viktor had come out of his room for the first time after mourning for his dead family members.
So, Davis nodded back to him as could understand his seventh uncle’s raging emotions a bit. He did keep an eye on them for various reasons after all.
"I imagine that it was a long journey for you two to reach the Law Seed Stage, so make yourselves at home." Davis smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"We will..." Viktor smiled back as he nodded.
"That person is?" Davis asked as he looked at Meng Ying.
Viktor’s eyes widened as he introduced her, "Oh, she is my girlfrie... wife..."
"Married to her while adventuring? The kind of clothes she wears is so... unique and low in quality. I wonder where she is from?" Davis asked as he made a confused expression.
"Ahh, my bad. I forgot to give her the royal family clothes after returning to this Royal Castle." Viktor replied while not answering Davis’s questions.
Although he didn’t receive any answers, Davis had noticed a slight of words from Viktor.
That is, no one uses the word girlfriend in the Grand Sea Continent as far as he knew. They would only use words such as his lover, his woman, cultivation partner, fiance or even sweetheart in extremely rare cases.
With this, he could at least confirm his suspicions to a great extent.
"What?" Viktor uttered in confusion. He was just shocked by Jonas’s revelation and was thinking if that was the case when suddenly he heard Davis speak.
"I gave you people two chances but you still choose to not answer my question..."
"Look, Davis..." Jonas stepped forward as he approached Davis, wanting to explain that Viktor wouldn’t reveal it unless his wife gave him the okay, however, he was interrupted.
"I didn’t want to do this but if that’s what’s written in fate, then I can only offend you two..."
Davis kept shaking his head as if he didn’t really want to do this. He extended his hands and opened his palms as he stretched it.
Sensing that something was wrong, Viktor and Jonas instantly tried to protect and defend respectively but their reaction was a second slower than Davis’s.
*THUD!!*
Viktor and Jonas kneeled down at the same time and the resulting suppression that came from their souls made them absolutely unable to stand up.
Meng Ying took a step back as she turned aghast in disbelief.
Why did it become like this suddenly!?
"Soul Suppression Art..." Davis calmly spoke as he moved towards them.
The two brothers were unable to even talk. They couldn’t even move as they found it difficult to control their nerves when their souls were being suppressed.
"Actually, I’m still holding back a lot. With my Soul Force, a normal soul attack is enough to kill you two on the spot but I’m not after your lives." Davis spoke as he stood in front of them.
"What I need is the way to that place called Planet Earth... And I hope that you can guide me or at least inform me of the location..."
Davis slightly lowered the pressure and made it enough for them to be and to talk.
"You!... Davis... Why are you doing this?" Viktor asked as veins stuck up over his neck. He found it incredibly difficult to even keep kneeling.
Meanwhile, Jonas didn’t say anything but kept his head down as he tried his best to not totally fall down under the immense pressure.
"Maybe it’s for my master but it doesn’t matter. Are you still going to delay the inevitable and not tell me about the way to the so-called Planet Earth?" Davis asked while his face was calm from the start to the current. He had an indifferent expression on his face as if the life and death of the others didn’t matter to him in any way.
Viktor struggled to turn his face over to Meng Ying’s direction. Once he saw her pale and scared expression, he gritted his teeth in inner conflict.
Davis sighed inwardly, ’I can’t tell you my secrets, so I can only force you to reveal the way to Planet Earth..’
"Father would be mad if I treated you two like this anymore, so..." Davis’s gaze turned to Meng Ying, "But father wouldn’t say anything if I were to target her, right?"
Meng Ying’s expression went pale as she staggered back in fright.
Davis moved past the both of them as he approached Meng Ying.
Viktor’s pupils dilated into tiny circles. He tried to break away from the soul pressure but immense paid threatened to shatter his mind.
"You!" He clenched his fist while feeling helpless, and rage threatened to swallow his heart.
When he saw Davis standing in front of her, he shouted, "No! Meng Ying, don’t... do it!"
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Cling~ Cling~ Cling~*
The sound of a magazine being emptied and hitting the floor as the shells rolled could be heard as Meng Ying pointed a unique pistol at Davis.
