Chapter 98: End Of The Grand Sea Continent Meet

"Very well." Davis deactivated his Soul Suppression Art and returned her veil to her.

Shirley hurriedly stood up and stretched her hand to get the veil back. She quickly covered her face as if she didn't want people to see her face.

Davis had no idea why she did that and assumed that it must be some sort of tradition.

*Snap*

Davis snapped his fingers, and the barrier around them disappeared as if it didn't exist in the first place.

Looking around him, Davis was startled. He saw Emperor Ashton freeze, just ready to strike down on his barrier. If he were a moment late, then he would've been possibly sent flying by that blow.

Davis wryly laughed as he looked at Shirley. Logan flew down as he stood beside him.

Shirley coughed a little, "I concede."

Emperor Ashton hurriedly used his soul sense to probe inside Shirley's Soul Sea for any abnormalities.

Seeing that there were no abnormalities, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Shirley shook her head, indicating that he did nothing to her. Emperor Ashton nodded his head and glared at Davis.

"Prince Davis! Are you sure that you're not an old monster disguising as a child, are you?" Emperor Ashton was exasperated.

Logan laughed, "Haha, don't get jealous of my son, Emperor Ashton. If he didn't possess this capability, how in the world was he even qualified to become that person's disciple!?"

Emperor Ashton's hand trembled, "Shut up! Your son is becoming powerful so fast that it is akin to going against the heavens!"

"Hahaha, you're just jealous," Logan replied as he emphasized the last word.

"Yes, I am. So what? Why are you the one blessed with that kind of son!? May the heavens smite you! Curses!!" Emperor Ashton screamed.

Davis chuckled while Logan didn't take that to heart. Both of them knew in their hearts that Emperor Ashton was just venting out his frustrations.

"And you! Shirley! You're still not going to marry him?" Emperor Ashton returned his glare to Shirley.

Shirley shuddered a moment before shrugging. She remembered that experience when she was utterly dominated by him. That was the scariest event she had ever experienced in her life.

Looking at her denial, he was frustrated again. Suddenly, he got an idea, "Oh, my daughter! My sweetheart! Why are you so adamant? Can't you see that Prince Davis here is a gentleman!"

Davis was startled, 'Gentleman? What does that have to do with me?'

"What gentleman? A kid can't be a gentleman?" Shirley argued back.

"Who told you that? The path to being a gentleman is open to all! Don't you remember? He didn't do anything to you when you were encased in that barrier. If he had wanted to, he could've placed a soul seal on you considering his soul cultivation! Your Royal father here wouldn't have been able to do anything!" Emperor Ashton continued, "Even so, he didn't want to control you and only wanted to pressurise you into giving up! So you must know that he went easy on you and held back his strength a lot."

'Holy Sh*t! Even I didn't think this far ahead!' Davis was stunned.

Shirley contemplated for a moment and realised what her father told her was true. She peeked at Davis with a short glance. Her only visible eye caught hold of his figure.

Davis smiled softly at her.

She hurriedly turned her head away and blushed from being caught by his gaze.

Davis felt that this was awkward and laughed wryly. For some reason, he didn't want to deny Emperor's Ashton's fake claim.

'Yes! Yes! Just a little push and this matter is settled!' Emperor Ashton's eyes glowed with fervour.

Just when he was going to continue with his bullsh*t, a voice sounded out.

"Since the victor is determined, this marks the end of the Grand Sea Continent Meet!" That solemn voice from before echoed again.

Everyone's attention turned to Emperor Ruth as many youths identified him as the owner of that solemn voice.

They looked at him point at the scoreboard. Their heads turned to the scoreboard as they let out shouts of joy.

The scoreboard lit up in a stylish manner as fireworks, made from energy, exploded out in dazzling colours.

"Prince Davis, if you had revealed your cultivation even before the final competition started, we would have instantly and unanimously decided to give you the first place. I'm afraid that we have wasted your precious cultivation time" Emperor Ruth said as he flew down.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Emperor Ruth. I learned a lot from this Grand Sea Continent Meet, so I do not consider this a waste." Davis replied as he clasped his hand.

"Right, you must have gained some experience regarding the ways of the world. If that is so, then I'm glad." Emperor Ruth nodded his head, as he took a liking to this young lad.

"Even though Princess Shirley said that you have to be arrogant to deter the people who are after you, it isn't necessarily the case. It doesn't matter if you are arrogant or modest, you should be just ruthless enough to provoke fear into the hearts of your enemies."

When Davis listened to his words, his eyes glowed as he was reminded of a specific character from a web-novel in his previous world. "Thank you for your advice, Emperor Ruth!"

"Haha, no need for honorifics, just call me by my name." Seeing that Davis wholeheartedly listened to his advice, he was even more fond of this boy.

"Yes, Mark Ruth." Davis chuckled.

Emperor Ruth laughed, "Haha, you sure got guts. I've said this to a lot of people, but they still call me Emperor Ruth. Your boldness is one of the traits that I like."

"Of course, he even dared to kill those two emperors in front of us. What does he even have to fear?" Logan replied, a little annoyed. He was planning to kill those two Emperors when this 15-year period was over, but he certainly didn't expect his son to be one step ahead of him.

Davis spread his hands, "It was their fault for provoking me! Don't blame me!"

Emperor Ruth rolled his eyes, "Ruthless enough!"

Emperor Ashton looked at these three people who were having fun. He then turned his head beside to see his daughter walk away. He later sighed, believing that this opportunity was crushed by Emperor Ruth.

"Old Fart!" He muttered silently, giving up.
