Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4868  Getting To Know The Merchant

Davis was once again speechless as he saw the grand ambition of making incredulous amounts of wealth, but also practically worship him in a different manner for allowing her to step onto a stage among the wealthy giants.

At least, that was what his Heart Intent picked up if he wasn't wrong.

The more he spoke with her, the more she no longer seemed as shallow or vain as before. He knew she was smart regardless, so he was truly intrigued.

"My apologies for using your name without your explicit permission."

Jiayi Crystalveil gasped ever so lightly before she took her hand back and apologized.

She calmed and took a breath before continuing, "Divine Emperor of Death, there's a widespread misunderstanding that ordinary people rarely indulge in evil, but it's contrary to my thinking, our True Peak Emporium's thinking. A person will be tested when they have wealth and influence. Ordinary people who are peaceful and virtuous think they're good people, but in truth, they're just powerless. Those same ordinary people, when they possess wealth and influence, easily turn into oppressors and tyrants. Our True Peak Emporium has seen this many times, and some of them who we recruit are no different- like the Head Manager here, who is from an ordinary background, who got bribed by the three families and acts like a despot, doing as he pleases."

"On the other hand, you, despite having power and influence- albeit infamous, you never do evil deeds, or at the very least, I have found zero concrete evidence that says so. I, Jiayi Crystalveil, am profoundly taken aback by your contradictory presence and wish to know more while making a profit. A win-win business relationship is what I'm looking for. What about you, Divine Emperor of Death?"

Jiayi Crystalveil gestured and spoke with confidence and elegance. The smile in her eyes was classic and reminiscent of a curious woman in power.

Davis was more than intrigued at this point. There weren't many who spoke freely with him. Although he could tell she still feared him, her brave outlook and her ability to speak under pressure without stuttering made her exceptional in his eyes.

He couldn't help but smile, "I suppose your character is going to be tested in the upcoming years now that you are in power in the True Peak Emporium."

"Indeed. Whether I betray you or not for more profits will also be determined, though at this point, I can say for sure that we're in the same boat, and the chances of my betraying you are near zero. After all, you can also expose me. I don't believe the Supreme One won't believe you since he had initially exchanged a Covenant with you, which is unheard of."

Davis reclined and threw his leg over the other, "I'm not worried since I already warned you. It's your decision to make, and I can promise you I will not be angry but just calmly end you."

"…"

Jiayi Crystalveil's shoulder trembled, "Divine Emperor of Death, that's even more scary."

*Tock* *Tock*

At this moment, there were two knocks on the door followed by a few more knocks with different sounds as though it was a code.

"Come in~"

Jiayi Crystalveil glanced at the door before she opened it with her master key core. When she returned her gaze, she saw Davis was still there, but she wasn't worried since it was just her-

"Elder sister, I got what you want and also brought your refreshments."

Ragoon Crystalveil made his way inside after closing the door with his soul force. He held a plate with a few refreshments like a waiter. He possessed a smile but still looked somewhat pale. He appeared in front of the table and kept the plate down, wiping his forehead as he smiled lightly.

"Those stupid Young Masters really think they can obtain you, elder sister. In a few months, your status will completely transform, and renown will spread far and wide. Numerous Young Masters from Greater Realms will descend to have your hand in marriage. Although they will also have ulterior motives, they are way better than these trash!"

Ragoon Crystalveil sneered, causing Jiayi Crystalveil to giggle lightly, but inwardly, she was shocked.

She saw Davis make no move, but her little brother still couldn't see him.

Was it possible that she was talking to an illusion, or did he create an illusion the moment the door was knocked? She couldn't tell and wanted to take a deep breath to calm herself down.

She was already an Autarch, the same level as the Divine Emperor of Death, but couldn't tell what he was capable of at all. She feared that if he retained his prowess, then even Exalts…

The moment she realized this, her body greatly shook.

"Elder sister, what's wrong? Ah, I know you're disgusted by them. I'll take care of them for you."

Ragoon Crystalveil reassured her, his eyes full of worry.

Davis could see Ragoon Crystalveil really was a siscon. A little praise from his elder sister might have him jumping and dancing. If he hadn't spoken with Jiayi Crystalveil and gotten to know her a bit, he might've thought she had tamed her younger brother from a young age to further her ambition like a heartless woman, but he knew she had a heart capable of affection.

At this moment, he somewhat felt it was worth it to release this bastard just to see Jiayi Crystalveil still smiling.

Jiayi Crystalveil's lips curled ever so lightly upon hearing her brother's worry. She took one of the cups and inhaled the aroma lightly.

"Did you brew this?"

"No, the cooks did, but I tasted it, so it shouldn't be dangerous."

Jiayi Crystalveil gazed at her younger brother with an affectionate smile before she turned to look at the supposedly empty couch before her.

"What do you think, Divine Emperor of Death?"

"…"

Ragoon Crystalveil's smug smile slowly faded. He practically froze, only his pupils moving towards the couch, and slowly but surely, he could see a silhouette appear before it slowly reflected the Divine Emperor of Death's features.

Blonde hair, sapphire eyes, but wearing a black robe.

"…!"

Ragoon Crystalveil had never flinched so scared in his life. He jumped, nearly hitting the sealing before he landed, his heart pounding like a drum hammered by sticks.

He had thought he was hallucinating, but evidence said otherwise since someone really did stay in the private room. So he knew the Divine Emperor of Death was here, but didn't dare to believe it. After all, the damned tribulation was said to have happened in the nearby Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realm, so how was he here so soon!?

He had just obtained this information from the True Peak Emporium's sources and was about to tell his elder sister, but he really didn't want to talk about the Divine Emperor of Death for fear he would jinx it, causing him to appear here.

But then, he was already here.

Ragoon Crystalveil's teeth quivered.

Meanwhile, Davis calmly took a look at the three refreshments as his soul sense probed them. A moment later, he looked at her.

"It is aphrodisiac poisoned."

"As expected." Jiayi Crystalveil smirked.

"What, no? How?" Ragoon Crystalveil was shocked, but he was even more shocked that the refreshments he carried were poisoned.

How was it possible when he was up and kicking well? As for his paleness, it was already there before he drank it because he thought he was haunted by the Divine Emperor of Death.
