Divine Emperor of Death

"Invite Master!?" Davis became startled.

He inwardly became tired. He had to lie and play the bullshit card again in front of his family and he didn't like that one bit.

"Yes, if you don't, then who will?" Logan said with a scoff.

"Well, I'll try but it's unlikely that master will respond..." Davis shook his head as he sighed.

Who will invite his powerful master? To begin with, no master like that existed in the first place.

"Oh..." Logan turned disappointed.

Even though he had never met the master of his son, he was immensely grateful to that person, yet that person never showed up for anything or anyone.

Even so, he didn't compel and waved at Davis, "Alright, try your best..."

Davis nodded and didn't say anything anymore, instead he got back to the topic, "As I said, feel free to take as much as you want..."

"Hmm..." Logan nodded and discussed it with Claire before taking half of the spirit stones while giving back the remaining half to Davis.

Logan smiled, "With this, I can face my ancestors without looking down..."

"Davis, thanks to you, our empire can become the sole powerhouse in the Grand Sea Continent." 

Davis shook his head, "I highly doubt that..."

Logan turned confused before he realized and slapped his head, "Isabella Ruth!"

"Right, I guess she might have brought back more than me and by the way she worried about her Empire, I believe that she will more or less hand over at least some of the spirit stones she gained," Davis said as he speculated.

"Sigh, it doesn't matter, as long as the Loret Empire keeps standing for ages, I will have not let my ancestors down."

"Ancestors this, ancestors that, as if you're so close to them. Stop caring about those old people and let them rest in peace, will you?" Davis retorted back.

"How dare you? Davis! You should not be disrespectful to your ancestors!" Logan shouted back.

"Right, right..." Davis shrugged as rolled his eyes.

He almost wanted to say "I don't give a fuck about your or my ancestors" but realized that it might be rude and dropped the tone a little bit.

Logan shook his head in disappointment.

Meanwhile, Claire chuckled gently, seeing those two fight like they were brothers. She couldn't help but feel warmth at their antics.

Soon enough, both of them gradually moved on to another topic which was initiated by Davis.

Davis asked his father about how he managed to bring in so many women while also managing to convince mother at the same time.

To that, Logan bitterly laughed and slowly explained the events that took place at that time.

Claire sat at the side with a pouting expression on her face, clearly dissatisfied by his complacent attitude.

This made her think that she shouldn't have allowed this vile husband of hers to marry those women.

Davis took all that in and finally understood how his father managed to convince his mother.

After hearing everything, he gave a thumbs up to his father.

"Hahaha!" Logan laughed and put on a shameless smile as he looked at Claire, but instantly shut his mouth on receiving her baleful stare.

"Mother, I'm surprised that you didn't kill him by now, didn't you say that you were extremely selfish and won't hand over father to anyone?" Davis asked with an innocent face but under that facade was an evil grin waiting to feast upon his unsuspecting father.

Claire did indeed say that she would not share her husband with other women when Davis had asked the matter about being promised to two women at that time.

She put her head down and a baleful aura appeared over her head. She lifted up her head and smilingly gazed at Logan, "Well, I suppose your father deserves a chance..."

She then moved her gaze to Davis, "Don't you think so, Davis?"

Davis got a chill up his spine as he soundlessly shivered. He still had no idea how his father is still alive, even today.

The killing intent behind her aura was absolutely real yet she hadn't taken action yet.

'Could it be the work of love?' Davis tried to understand but gave up halfway as he nodded to her question, "Yes, yes..."

It would be bad if she actually choose to kill him at this time, wouldn't that mean that he was the one who manipulated his mother to kill the father?

What he had jokingly said had probably hit a nerve or two in Claire, or so he thought.

Meanwhile, Logan was absolutely frozen solid and inwardly cursed at Davis for his wretched mouth, 'Damn you son! You are going to get me killed!'

The next moment, Claire calmed down and looked apologetically at Logan, likely realizing that she had gone out of control.

She then looked at Davis and said, "Davis, what your father did is not up for debate, and you don't need to mind about this, okay?"

Davis nodded obediently like a chicken that was pecking at its food. But with this, he finally realized his mother's strength.

Peak-Level Law Seed Stage, which is not much outside but considering how she only had limited resources in addition of a limited time frame of no more than 5 years, she had increased her strength a lot more than other cultivators.

If he remembered correctly, his mother's age should almost be the same as Kara Moonridge, yet she already had higher cultivation than her despite being in a place of desolation.

From this, it could be seen how high her talent in Essence Gathering Cultivation is when compared to others. 

But that was only comparatively speaking. 

If Kara utilized her physique and dual cultivated from the beginning, then her cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds, far surpassing Claire's.

"By the way, where are Diana and Edward, I haven't seen the two of them since I came here..." Davis asked as he decided to change the topic again.
