Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4414: Resuming The Marriage

Once Davis and Mingzhi dealt with the act of terrorism caused by the Accursed Warlock and made the guests remain after checking their mental status, they returned to the altar.

However, they knew her powers only scraped the surface.

They cleared possession from the list. However, there were still other ways that they could be possibly hiding using novel or ingenious ideas that they may have never thought of. Still, they did not have the thought of canceling the marriage.

They were going to finish it no matter what.

Noraus Auraflame was brought away by Sophie. He looked as though he was going to cry, his fate unknown, but kept a brave face.

Davis was with Myria, who was shaken. She said that this was all her fault, so Davis took some time to make sure she wasn’t thinking that way. Fortunately, Myria, Evelynn, and Wisteria were protecting Lea. Therefore, he was able to deal with the Accursed Warlock without having to look back.

He reassured Myria that nothing was harmed and this wouldn’t happen again before going back to Mingzhi.

He smiled wryly, causing Mingzhi’s muscles to relax.

“I apologize. I wasn’t vigilant enough.”

Davis shook his head, “No, we made preparations for today. We knew there was a high chance that those villains would come here, and that’s why you stood at the entrance, welcoming the guests, but in truth, you were checking them. Unfortunately, the trick they used was something else than possession, using blood essence and a subsequent technique to activate the Will. Noraus Auraflame shouted that he was going to use a self-created technique. Perhaps that was the trigger to awakening Accursed Warlock’s Will.”

“Indeed, I think so too.”

Mingzhi nodded. However, her expressions still wilted, “But, I’m really useless. Taking a step back, even if I had let Accursed Warlock enter, how could I let an assassin enter? How could I have not found an assassin’s intentions to kill? It doesn’t make any sense.”

“Not really. We thought we were infallible with our preparations, but there are existences that can go above us. One of them is the Accursed Warlock. We knew that, so our defenses against him were perfect, but we didn’t expect him to go above and beyond to work with Kerez Zenflame and appear from a little boy to target our daughter to get his revenge. He really is wicked and ruthless but I shouldn’t have forgot about Kerez Zenflame. Otherwise, I would’ve seen it coming with a Fire Phoenix Clan’s descendant involved. It’s my fault.”

“It’s not your fault.” Mingzhi pouted.

Only the two of them knew how they made the preparations and the defenses were all high. Even if the Heaven’s Warriors unleashed an army of ten thousand here, they would all die.

Besides, there was no need for a groom to be on guard duty this day.

“In any case, I have collected that assassin’s soul essence. Let me check it. Until then, deal with the guests.”

“Understood.”

Mingzhi nodded and left.

They had started with the banquet to distract, but people were afraid to eat because they feared the Divine Emperor of Death would poison them.

However, a few people dared to eat and even asked to be brought more, as though they had never eaten such delicious meals.

Davis’s lips curled inwardly, making him think he should thank the culinary expert Jaisi Alstreim, who was actually now filthy rich because she had numerous restaurants spread across the cities in the mini realm, but their main source of wealth was actually from him, who ordered a lot for banquets.

Nonetheless, he flew towards his family and gazed at his father.

“That was amazing, Father. Not many could’ve reacted at that speed to an assassination.”

“I have your Master Deathseeker to thank for training me.” Logan didn’t smile.

Davis knew Master Deathseeker, and Logan sparred a lot. It wasn’t like Master Deathseeker didn’t have anything better to do than chase his children. He also had a life to live after he brought his family here.

Still, it seemed like Logan was pissed beyond compare because Claire was targeted. His reverse scale was touched, and he appeared like he wanted to take revenge. Besides, he also shared a history with the Accursed Warlock, getting thrashed and badly hurt.

Davis could understand that his father wanted to rip apart Accursed Warlock personally.

He was about to calm him down, but suddenly sensed that his father was hurt.

“Show me…”

Follow new episodes on the "".

Davis pulled on the sleeves of his father’s robe and saw that there was a gash left on his right arm. It appeared to be made from a dagger, and the edges were purple.

“It’s poisoned.” Davis frowned.

When his senses hit it, he instantly guessed it was a Peak-Level Empyrean Grade Poison. He didn’t know its name, but it certainly had a dangerous aura.

“Why are you keeping quiet about this?”

“Because it wasn’t anything to be worried about. I can suppress it just well enough, and in the process of clearing it. You know my dark lightning’s property, right?”

“Alright, alright. Act tough until you need my help. That assassin wasn’t ordinary.”

Davis looked at the corpse in his father’s spatial ring. They had checked the corpse, but nothing turned up. It was empty. The assassin didn’t even have anything that would identify him, which went against what most assassin organizations would do because they would be joyful to take tell the world for the kills they made.

‘Perhaps he’s one of those three villains’ slaves… but I didn’t find any slave seal in the soul… strange…’

Davis shook his head. Still, his father was also near the layer limit, so he wasn’t worried.

He was now extremely glad he had decided to give a diluted Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill to his father.

Davis turned to look at his mother, who was still seated. By her side was Eterna, who was being comforted.

She lightly smiled at him, but Davis could see her still trembling. Instantly, guilt swelled in his heart.

His mother was no longer an adventurer. She was a grandmother who wished the best for her family, completely removing herself from battling to look after the kids. For her, a battle was far away at the moment. It would be a while before she regained such an indomitable spirit as she once had, daring to go against geniuses, families, and even empires.

“I’m sorry, mother. I exposed you- no, exposed all of you to danger because of my selfish reasons.”

“It’s fine.” Claire smiled wryly, “Marriages are like this- filled with hazards.”

“…”

Davis was speechless. His mother could still make a joke.

“Besides, your father was here to protect me. What more would I need from him?” Claire cast a glance at Logan, her eyes completely mesmerized.

“Don’t go giving me a sibling again.” Davis hurriedly said.

“Who are you to say that? You have more babies than me!~ Let’s ask everyone else who needs to stop.”

Claire berated him, causing the others to laugh, the tension in their muscles relaxing.

Davis went even more speechless, but seeing Eterna, who was beside Claire, also laughing, his heart softened.

He was worried that she would be scarred for life with that close-range encounter with an explosion that couldn’t be avoided.

He reached out and caressed Eterna’s head.

Her expression looked guilty.

‘Certainly, she knows she’s wrong for going out to battle without my explicit permission…’

Davis spared her from the long lecture he was going to give.

Instead, he opened his mouth, his voice full of emotion.

“I’m not afraid that you won’t be able to face your challenges. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to face my challenges, my enemies. Each and every single one of them could be infallible for your stature, and I don’t want you facing them. If something happened to you, I…”

“…” Eterna nodded, her eyes teary. She pounced over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“I’m sorry, Papa. I will listen to you more from now on~

Davis caressed her head, “Good. I’m holding on to that, but the first daughter should indeed be willful. Don’t lose yourself.”

“Mhm~”

Eterna hugged her father more as she cried. She loved him so much.
