Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2848  Unwillingness

"…"

Davis's expression was unamused as he watched the Blue Luan Patriarch and Vermilion Bird Clan continue to praise the Fire Phoenix Clan for their magnanimity while they offered up their women and manpower to fuel the Fire Phoenix Clan's ambitions in order for them to survive.

Obviously, this was pre-conceived and discussed behind closed doors to make it happen today.

However, when even he, a mere bystander, couldn't help but find this matter utterly distasteful, he wondered how these two clans were faring, especially Zora Luan, whom he cared about as she was good to him.

"Senior Mo Tian…"

Davis abruptly came out of his reverie and realized that he was clenching his fists a bit heavily, which startled Panqa and Lanqua, who were beside him.

"What is this? It's obvious they are being forced, so why is no one taking any action?"

He couldn't help but ask with an indignant expression on his face.

Panqa and Lanqua's gaze flickered as though they were moved, but they touched his arm side by side and shook their heads.

"This is how the world performs, senior. We can't find fault with it but strive forth to become strong and establish our rules down so that it works in our favor or fairness."

"What Lanqua says is true. Although I don't understand much, it is necessary that one must abide by hierarchy. If we were forced to marry you, we would gladly do it, but if it was something we are not comfortable with, then we can only snuff out our own lives or make ourselves useful to the power by letting go of our dreams and determination."

Davis's heart shook as he heard Panqa's words.

He thought she was cute and innocent, but only that, as he didn't expect her to understand some truths about the world.

If they were like this, then they really knew what they were getting into by wanting to become his women, as they didn't even seem to want marriage because they thought of themselves to be unworthy. They were not naive but knew what they wanted and strove for it, risking their own future by being openly intimate with him all the time.

But still, Davis flicked his sleeves, causing their hands to be pushed back before he lightly harrumphed.

"If you two were forced on me by your power, I wouldn't dare to allow you to stay beside me as it goes against my principles. Any man in the Fire Phoenix Clan who dares to accept these helpless and forced women are cowards who don't have what it takes to satisfy a woman! In fact, I dare say that their thing is botched beyond compare that even the Fire Phoenix Clan's women don't give them the time of their life!"

"…!"

Panqa and Lanqua became stunned as they heard his words. However, it was also because the entire gaze of the crowd was on them at the moment, with pin-drop silence accompanying them, causing them to shiver.

Even Patriarch Soaren Goldsun looked a bit astonished as he watched Mo Tian pour out his emotions towards this matter. Perhaps, it contained his own frustrations.

However, he couldn't help but silently chuckle before he could no longer suppress it.

"Pfft- Ahaahaha! Well said, Brother Mo Tian. Although this matter was accepted by all the parties involved, one could see that it was not accepted by the women who are going to be married into the Fire Phoenix Clan."

Soaren Goldsun gestured at the Blue Luan Clan and Vermilion Bird Clan's ladies, causing them to shiver as everyone's gaze fell on them. They instantly shed more tears, causing almost everyone to feel pitiful of them.

Zora Luan also looked at Mo Tian, for some reason really finding him familiar but couldn't wrap her head around it.

"Young lad, why are you making trouble here?"

"If it weren't for your special yet dubious status, we would've kicked you out."

Instantly, two elders from the Fire Phoenix Clan raised their voices against Mo Tian, causing Mo Tian to blink and appear innocent as though he hadn't said anything. Even the indignant expression on his face was gone, leaving some people simply stunned by his acting.

"Oh? I'd like to see you try it. No, really… try it."

But at the same time, Soaren Goldsun nocked his head, his golden eyes wide as he provoked the Fire Phoenix Clan's Elder to try and attack Mo Tian to know the consequences.

His gaze instantly left the two elders shivering from head to toe, not because of the provocation, as they obviously had the upper hand with the entire Phoenix Alliance being here, but because they knew that the Golden Crow Clan Patriarch's words were not a bluff as he was simply a madman who willingly fell into all traps but never perished, only to make it out in the end to slaughter everyone who dared to war against him.

With such a reputation preceding him, they didn't know what to say, for they knew if they were to kick out Mo Tian, this madman would definitely kill them in exchange.

"Enough."

At this moment, Patriarch Killian Zenflame's voice echoed in a cold manner.

"Why everyone acts righteous and without sin is beyond me. It's not like your Golden Crow Clan didn't take part in these kinds of exchanges in the past, so why are you being hypocritical?"

Patriarch Soaren Goldsun's eyes squinted, "Those are not my rulings."

"It's still your power, so don't be so two-faced, Soaren. Take some responsibility as the Patriarch and commit suicide to atone for those women who were forcefully married into your clan, won't you?"

"You-"

"And then, perhaps we'll see what alternatives are there to bring our peace treaty into fruition, alright?"

Patriarch Soaren Goldsun's clenched his fists as his gaze shook. He was not good with words, not knowing what to say to Patriarch Killian Zenflame's seamless counter to his words.

"Ai- what's with the Fire Phoenix Clan robbing women left and right? Just a while ago at the Central Primesky Alliance, I heard rumors that the young Emperor of Death robbed an inheritor called Shirley from the Fire Phoenix Clan, but it seems like the opposite could be true right now. Don't you all think…?"

"…"

In the next second, a clueless youth's voice resounded across the palace, causing everyone's gaze to fall on Mo Tian again, especially the Fire Phoenix Clan, who looked as though they couldn't wait to burn him into nirvana.
