Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 247

Once he was outside the room, he saw that the hallway was empty and narrowed his eyes . Even without activating his Soul Sense, he could see that he was in some kind of formation .

Looking around cautiously, he discovered some words floating around the corner .

Only after he saw this did he relax his nerves, 'Who would have thought that they would so thoughtful to the VIPs, going even far as to prepare different exits for us . . . '

Unfortunately with this, he had no way to rob people .

After walking out of the exit with Natalya, he ended up in a remote location somewhere in the capital .

It was an alleyway where there was no sight of human activity .

Natalya's heart palpitated heavily . What would happen to her next? She was outside but what now? Such questions kept swirling around her mind .

Even Davis could hear her heart palpitate as she was just beside him .

"Alright, keep this with you . " Sighing gently, he handed her a spatial ring .

"This has about 3,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones, use it wisely to survive in this capital . "

Natalya's eyes bulged as she heard his words, not able to believe the amount that she was handed over .

After explaining, he took one final glance at her before leaving her with a cliched parting sentence, "Live strong . . . Natalya . "

He needed to find another remote location to change into his societal identity, so he can start acting on his plans .

Viewing his departing figure, Natalya almost had a heart attack .

"No!" She hurriedly ran to him and grabbed his clothes, "Please don't leave me alone!"

Davis stopped as he groaned inwardly, he wasn't amused .

'Is this woman also trying to make wealth by fooling me around?' Such thoughts entered his head .

It was inevitable since, in his mind, he just brought her out of harm's way, and now she wants to stick around with him?

But since he knew Natalya wasn't like that from these 3 days of interaction, he disapprovingly uttered, "You're asking for too much . . . "

As far as he was concerned, he finished saving her from that fate . What happens to her next doesn't concern him . . . From the time in the second layer, he did save people with this kind of thought process in his head .

Natalya removed her raven shaped mask . Tears were flowing down her eyes, "Please don't leave me alone . . . "

Davis inwardly groaned again .

Actually, he didn't know that she was just incredibly scared . Being abandoned by her own family caused her to undergo trauma .

That's why she acted like this when she saw this strange man who saved her like a real family member tried to leave as if nothing happened .

It entirely reminded of her of what happened when she got abandoned by her family .

Davis looked upset behind his mask . He had already decided to leave her in this place, even giving out funds to help her grow in this capital .

What more does she want?

Davis had a hard time understanding why she was crying desperately now that he had saved her from the underground auction house .

'It's not like I made her my woman or anything, that was just entirely an act, right!?' His thoughts traveled to that path .

'Maybe making her go with his plan had somehow ruined her mentality?'

If Natalya had explained her trauma, he would have at least understood the gist of it but now he just thought that she had become entirely dependent on him .

This was why he would instantly leave after saving a person, whether a man or a woman . If the latter spent too much time with him, he knew that they would eventually develop a Stockholm Syndrome since it was quite hard to hold malice to a benefactor unless the latter was evil in heart and personality .

"Get your hands off me . . . " Davis spoke but she didn't even budge, just silently kept on pleading with her teary eyes .

Her tears put Davis on a spot .

'What the hell! I could have beat the shit out of her if she was aggressive but why is she crying and looking desperate!?'

'I can't beat her like this, no!?'

It wasn't that he was weak to the frail, crying woman . It was just the way she silently pleaded him caused him to stop in his tracks from beating the shit out of her .

"I said get your hands off me!" This time, Davis radiated his battle aura .

*Plop!*

Natalya kneeled down from the pressure but she still didn't let go of his robes, tightly holding on to it .

Even though her face was contorted in pain, her eyes were still pleading him with determination .

Davis could take it no more as he clicked his tongue . He stopped radiating his battle aura and shouted, "What is wrong with you!? Can't you see that I'm going to attack!? Why aren't you running away from me?!"

His natural voice came out but Natalya didn't have the calmness to pick it up since she was entirely in a state of trauma, muttering, "Please don't leave me alone . . . "

Davis's eyes twitched from the frustration of not being able to do anything but he noticed something was wrong with her . If he hadn't noticed by now, then he would definitely be an idiot .

He quickly used his soul sense to invade her soul sea, only to see it being in a state of chaos . He finally understood that she was not in the right state of mind .

'Wait, I didn't do anything that might warrant this kind of situation . . . ' He contemplated, 'Then it must be something relating to her past . After all, she had been through a lot these three or more days . . . '

He wasn't even sure if what she was seeing him right now or someone else . People will delude themselves into thinking of something entirely different and cultivators are no exception to this, instead, they had something terrifying like heart demons looming over their heads, threatening to twist their sense of reasoning .
