Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 147: Taking Three Lives

Chapter 147: Taking Three Lives

The elders and the youths looked at Davis with a dumbfounded expression etched on their faces.

Davis kept quiet all this while because the moment he heard them say to treat Evelynn as a bad dream, something snapped in his mind.

It took everything to control himself from murdering these Cauldon Family elders in cold blood. It was because that this was her family that he took this much effort to calm himself down.

But these old bastards wouldn't stop boasting about their grand-daughters, so he finally shouted loudly with a frosty expression on his face.

He looked at Evelynn with a gaze that told a million things.

Surprisingly, Evelynn nodded her head as she hardened her heart. The hate she felt for these elders came to be known by Davis now.

The moment she nodded her head, three heads flew into the air soundlessly as it descended on the ground with a 'thud!'. Their bodies collapsed as blood flowed out from the neck like a river.

Davis employed the same soul attack, albeit, he conjured a spear and took the life of the three nearest elders in a split second.

Few screams rang out as the other elders felt their hearts leap to their throats while they hurriedly moved back, creating distance between them.

"Stop!!"

"What are you doing!?"

"Brat! You want to die!?"

Enraged shouts that were filled with fear, echoed at Davis's ears, causing him to sneer.

"If you have the gall, try to even touch me, and let me see if your family survives the extermination…" Davis responded coldly, causing the elders who shouted out to break out in a cold sweat. They knew the consequences of harming him, so they wouldn't dare unless they want their family exterminated.

The conjured spear disappeared as he felt the impulse to kill fadeaway since he had killed the most annoying elders, including the one who said to treat Evelynn as a bad dream. He didn't know who were these three, nor did he feel like he needed to know it.

"You! Are you treating our Cauldon Family like garbage!? You can't get away with it!"

"Hmph, our agreement was to give a bride to the crown prince of the Loret Empire! Since you don't want to toast, we can only take Evelynn back and gift her to the real crown prince!"

Davis looked at the two elders who opened their mouths just now. The spear was once again conjured, "Looks like you two want to die…"

"Prince Davis, please stop!" Suddenly, a voice echoed out.

Davis turned to look at the source of the voice.

"Please stop this! If any more of our elders die, our family would be hugely weakened!" Evan Cauldon shouted as he bowed. He felt like he had the power to face off with Davis, but what use would that be in the front of the Loret Family.

Besides, he did not feel like protecting them at all, but he has to save them or else, he couldn't face his ancestors in the afterlife.

"You want to keep these old bastards alive? Isn't father-in-law afraid that they might cruelly betray you one day?" Davis coldly asked.

Still bowing, Evan Cauldon replied, "Such is the curse of a Family Head. Their lives are my responsibility…"

Hearing his reply, Davis felt pity for this responsible man. He looked at Evelynn and saw her head nod slightly.

Sighing gently, he once again made the spear disappear.

"This isn't the end lad! We will definitely not give up on the marriage agreement, you or that Prince will marry someone of our family!" A crazed elder shouted atop his lungs seeing that Prince Davis was no longer going to attack them.

Davis turned his head to look at him and thought, 'Looks like the rumours were true…'

"The Marriage Agreement… What was written on that?" Davis never actually once looked at the agreement that was made between the two families.

Evan Cauldon replied, "The Young Mistress of the Cauldon Family will be married to the Crown Prince of the Loret Family."

He then glanced at the elders and added, "Even though it was written like that, we originally thought it would be fine even if the bride gets to marry the second prince, but it looks like greed has taken root upon their hearts."

"Is that so? Then I declare that the marriage agreement between the Loret Family and the Cauldon Family is void and null!" Davis coldly uttered with an indifferent expression on his face.

"What!?"

"Brat! You can't just do that! You don't have the authority to do that!" The elders were dumbfounded by his words before they shouted back at him for his arrogant declaration.

Davis looked at them coldly and emanated a lofty soul pressure, akin to an emperor, "Do you want to try my authority? My life is decided by my hands, and even my parents have no say in it. You think you are any special? Trying to boast off your non-existent might!?"

The elders started to feel incredible pressure, even as they covered their bodies in energy. Their legs went limp from the seamless pressure that had originated from the boy who looked like a 15-year-old.

All of them collapsed one by one, their expressions were as if they were facing a calamity. The people in the entire hall went silent from fright.

"Why?" A panic-stricken voice echoed out from a visibly trembling figure.

Davis froze, he turned to look at Evelynn. Looking at her tear-filled eyes, his heart wrenched in pain.

He instantly stepped in front of her and knelt down on one knee while extending his hand, "I, Davis Loret, ask for your hand in marriage!" A profound light flickering in his eyes, where one would describe it as tremendous love,

"Not bound by any lousy agreement, but bound by our love!" Uttering with a serious expression on his face, he waited as his heart palpitated for her reply.

Evelynn felt her eyes go misty, tears dropped from her eyes.

A moment ago, she felt the whole world around her tearing apart when she heard him say that the marriage agreement between them is annulled. Her frail figure trembled as she thought that her unfounded fears had started to come true, but she didn't think it was for this reason.

She extended her right hand and grasped his hand, all the while sobbing out her heart as she nodded her head.

Davis quickly pulled her into his embrace and hugged, just waiting for her flooding emotions to calm down.

He now understood what she meant at that time. To her so-called family members, she was nothing more than a liability, or one could say, an asset to enrich their lives.

Even though he had a faint clue that the cultivation world would be like this, he was honestly disappointed at their behaviour. Especially when he thought that it was his lover's family.
