Divine Emperor of Death

Rai Zenflame narrowed his eyes as he gazed back at Davis. He really didn't like that gaze shown towards him. It was as though he was in the palm of his opponent's hands, causing him to scoff in amusement.

The other party wasn't even at the same cultivation stage, so for him to declare that he was a dead man was quite delusional.

'Seems like I have overestimated him...'

His lips curved as he turned away and sat before grabbing a piece of luscious, saucy meat and biting it to his heart's content.

At this moment, Zahara Zenflame approached Davis before she stood before his table.

"Feng- Davis, I apologize for my senior's rude behavior."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Davis turned to look at Zahara Zenflame, "Not that I'm going to complain about it, but I would like to privately meet you in a short while."

"… What?"

Zahara Zenflame blinked.

Tonight was his marriage night with his two new brides. Why would he want to meet her shortly? It only made things awkward for her as she didn't know how to reply.

"I've already invited Yeyin through Shirley, so I look forward to seeing you."

"…"

The people who heard Davis were flabbergasted and dumbfounded by his shamelessness. He was already after two new women when he had two brides he was marrying today? They couldn't help but feel their horizons widened, some actually wishing that he had died from poison.

However, after having Yeyin mentioned, Zahara Zenflame realized what he was going on about before she nodded her head.

"I understand."

Zahara Zenflame nodded, causing countless people to suddenly cough. Even the expressions of Rai Zenflame and others changed as they glanced at Zahara. It couldn't be that she was going to sacrifice herself in exchange for Shirley, right?

"However, I would like to state that their actions have nothing to do with the Fire Phoenix Clan, so don't take it to heart."

Zahara Zenflame continued, "It's I who represent the Fire Phoenix Clan. Not them."

"That doesn't seem to be the case though? After all, it's in line with how despicable the Fire Phoenix Clan's upper echelon is trying to take someone else's wife, stating various ancestral reasons that have nothing to do with the individual."

Davis eyed her with a question, causing Zahara Zenflame's brows to twitch, not knowing how to reply to it as she was left speechless.

"I don't mean to put you in a spot, but things are what it seems to be. Sometimes, it's difficult to accept that your own people are the aggressors, but that shouldn't limit your eyes from seeing what's right and what's wrong."

"…"

Davis no longer bothered with Zahara Zenflame before he turned to look at Ruven Longstrand and his seniors as he thanked them for upholding the law and maintaining security here. If it weren't for them, he imagined that Rai Zenflame would've attacked directly.

The law enforcement people returned to their seats, but after the poisoning incident, no one took a bite out of their food on the table anymore as they became suspicious and paranoid, wondering if they had eaten poison and if it would act later even though they just heard that it was a fast-acting poison.

Nonetheless, some still daringly ate, like the top-ranking true disciples who didn't give a dime about the situation and only watched it for the laughs.

As for Davis, with Mingzhi's food being ruined, they were unable to carry out the food tradition, but that didn't stop them from bringing more food with Fiora's hands. It seemed like she made it along with Mingzhi but didn't bring it since there was no opportunity or tradition for her to serve it to them.

"This works too. After all, you're his fifth wife and the closest sister to Mingzhi, Fiora."

Sophie giggled as she boldly took a piece and ate to her heart's content.

Knowing that the food wasn't poisoned through Nadia, Davis also began feasting under the felicitous gaze of Fiora. Only Mingzhi appeared a little bummed out, but she still had a smile on her face, appearing to try her best to withhold whatever hard feelings she may have to not make the already sunken atmosphere sore.

The others also tried to brighten the ambiance, but with Rai Zenflame still being shamelessly present, there was more or less the intent to kill swelling within their hearts.

It was just they were incapable of doing it at the moment, even if they had the strength.

After all, law enforcement wouldn't just side with one side.

It wasn't long before night fell and the meat stopped coming, the banquet having emptied out before the true disciples started to leave one by one.

Since there was no one of suitable stature to send off the guests, nor was he going to put his women in danger, he personally strode forward to show their way out, but because of that, he also got to know a few people whom he might interact with in the future for all he knew.

Moreover, the gifts he received also amounted to a significant amount of contribution points when exchanged.

He also conversed with Zora Luan after a long time.

"I'm extremely impressed with your strength, and when I think back to how I invited you, I still can't believe it. It's almost as if I had immense luck spent all in one time."

Zora Luan smiled genially. She was completely taken aback by Davis's true strength that he easily one-shot all the true disciples he fought. She had no doubt he could easily win against the top ten if this continued to be the case.

"Immense luck?"

Davis wryly smiled, "I can only hope that those who made connections with me don't regret it later on because I sure don't take the act of betrayal well."

"You're doubting me?"

"Of course not. Senior sister Zora Luan is beautiful and brave. There wouldn't be many women as you who'd follow the Emperor of Death into the mountains and watch him romance with his wi-"

"Ah! You're so hateful!"

Zora Luan raised her hands but dropped down and harrumphed. Why was he still going on about that embarrassing matter? She couldn't help but want to find a hole to bury herself, wondering why she fell for his trap and was led on like a fool.

But at this moment, the aura of two distinct individuals that she rather disliked due to their race was picked by her senses, causing her to cup her hands and take her to leave.

Davis wanted Zora Luan to stay some more time as he was receptive to her presence, but looking at Zahara and Yeyin close in, he bid Zora Luan farewell and invited the two of them to his mansion.

As for Sophie and Niera, they went back to their rooms, making themselves refreshed for the hot night that was going to flip the way they saw a man, especially their husband, whom they practically idolized and adored.
