Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 388 To Sever

In a small yet girlish room, a little girl was murmuring an algebraic formula, executing calculations in her mind as she puckered her lips while playing with the pen, spinning it while being ready to tap on the notebook beside her.

The room she was in suited to the little girls’ taste but was small, however, this was just the entrance to the hall and a few rooms inside.

Suddenly, a woman in a caretaker uniform which was blue in color with floral patterns entered the room and spoke, "Ah, Little Mingzhi... Your sponsor has come again..."

Mo Mingzhi’s small yet wide eyes lit up as she dropped the pen on the notebook, "Really!? That person is here?"

"Yes," The woman stopped but suddenly saw Mo Mingzhi’s expression turning sad. She couldn’t help but say, "That person has seemed to deny contact with you for some reason but I think you can peek at him if you want to... I’m telling, you, he’s a good-looking man..."

*Cough~*

The woman suddenly coughed a bit as her eyes darted to the back, "Oops... What I meant it is that you can watch him from afar, after all, ’to not interact with you’ was the only request that person made to fund your future."

Mo Mingzhi pouted as she felt wronged. Why was this person who was good to her and funded her never seemed to be interested in talking or even seeing her?

She couldn’t understand.

She then heard the caretaker woman explain the whereabouts of that person and she instantly left the room with a dash, abandoning her homework.

Taking a few turns as she descended the floors through the stairs, Mo Mingzhi finally had a look at the person whom she only saw in a photo that the caretakers here snapped for their own entertainment.

Wearing a windbreaker, and jeans, that person stood in front of some people who seemed to speak in a favorable yet abnormal tone, as if they trying to curry favor.

Mo Mingzhi hid herself behind a box that had supplies for them and silently gazed at the person who funded her for most of her life.

She looked at the person’s side profile and saw how confident yet prudent he was in speaking with the other people. There was a lazy smile on his face which told her that he really wasn’t paying attention to the old men and women who were surrounding him.

She kept on listening to them talk about her studies and results.

But soon, her expression turned confused as she could hear them speaking something about inheritance and stuff, which she really couldn’t understand.

She was only 12 years old, and the stuff they were talking about most likely came off as incomprehensible to her.

Soon, she got bored and heaved a sigh as she moved a little, intending to return without meeting that person at least once, but...

Suddenly, her eyes widened and her heart froze from an abrupt stare. Instantly, she hid behind the box and curled her small body completely.

’Was I noticed!?’ She couldn’t help but think as her heart pounded rapidly. Her surroundings became hot as she held her breath, perspiration ran down her forehead.

A few seconds passed and her heartbeat slowly returned normal but when she turned to look back, her heart leaped out of her throat!

It was that person!

He stood in front of her and let out a harmless smile, "The subsequent generation is not in the wrong..."

Hearing him speak, Mo Mingzhi turned confused. When she was about to ask what it meant, the man placed his hand on her head as he patted.

Mo Mingzhi froze again, except this time, she felt a vague sense of warmness and even a sense of belonging welled up within her.

She lowered her head even more and closed her eyes while she felt content. It looked as if she was silently purring like a cat, welcoming the warm hands of its master.

"Haha..."

She could hear the man slightly laugh as he let go of her head. When she looked above and opened her eyes, the man’s straight back was in her vision.

"You’ve worked hard..."

Mo Mingzhi’s face slowly brightened yet tears were already falling from her eyes, wetting her sleeveless shirt.

Her glazed eyes shook and his back figure was no more as it turned into the figure of a blonde man, with a look of absolute calmness.

Mo Mingzhi pushed off Davis’s hands as she uttered again, "What do you want?"

The emotions that she was experiencing at the moment were complex to the extreme. She wanted to thrash the man in front of her but also wanted to cuddle in his embrace.

It was extremely frustrating and distasteful to the current her.

Davis took a single step back as he spoke, "I came to sever our Karma..."

Mo Mingzhi’s pupils dilated. She lifted up her head and incredulously looked at Davis not understanding what he meant, "What did you say?"

Nevertheless, it did sound like something that was not going to make her happy.

"I said I came to sever our Karma, so you don’t have to be the mess you are anymore..."

Mo Mingzhi stayed silent as lips curled into even more confusion.

"I wondered why Karma was connecting me with you ’in this life’... No wonder... You’ve held feelings for me, didn’t you?" Davis coldly spoke.

Mo Mingzhi let out a chuckle as her eyes were shrouded with anger, "Tian Long, you bastard! If you mentioned that you were the one who killed my father, even if I were crazy, I wouldn’t have fallen for you in the first place!"

"I’ll ask again, aren’t you going to kill me?"

"Hehe, Kill you? Me? Investigator Mo Mingzhi killing a cultivator of strange and tremendous power? Is that even possible?" Mo Mingzhi mockingly gestured as she pointed at herself.

"That doesn’t matter. What I want to know is whether you plan to kill me or not?"

Mo Mingzhi looked as if she was amused, "I see... You plan on killing me if I were to say that I’m bent on killing you, aren’t you?"

Davis blinked and then sighed.

Just when he was about to speak, Mo Mingzhi spoke, "I don’t care anymore. I fell for you, I let my feelings for you fester in my heart for all the time until I learned about the truth a week ago!"

She then suddenly let out a mocking laugh again, "Unfortunately, it was also the same time I learned about my father’s unscrupulous actions."

"Leading a Crime Organization, his activities include assassinations, high-tech crime, bribery, property theft, kidnapping, rape, drug trafficking, forgery, identity theft... and many m-more! All of these were enough for me to doubt if that person was really my father but he undoubtedly was...."

Davis stayed silent as he heard her speak.

Mo Minghzi held her bosom tremblingly, "I even finally traced what he did to you back then as I ultimately remembered the vague events when everyone told me that my father died due to a heart attack."

Her chin inclined as she looked at him.

"You ran away so I wasn’t able to see your face but now I know that it was you who undoubtedly killed my father using an unknown method."

"Now that I think about it, you probably used some magical technique to kill him, no?" Mo Mingzhi smiled as she asked, however, the whites of her eyes were red.
