Divine Emperor of Death

Davis's shoulders drooped, wondering why he had the fate of chancing upon these kinds of situations but knowing that was the kind of missions he took, dealing with kidnappers, rapists, and others who engaged themselves in vile conduct, he understood that he was bound to this fate.

Nonetheless, somewhere in his heart, he was happy that he didn't bring Evelynn. Otherwise, Otherwise, her eyes would've been tainted, not to mention that she would've exploded with rage and poisoned the entire Minn Family, forgetting that she had to be an assassin at the moment.

Making his way inside, Davis got to a pillar and jumped. This bathroom was in a corner after entering a narrow pathway within the big room, so he wasn't caught when he jumped. His undulations were practically concealed for there to be a disturbance while the changes in the airflow were also engulfed.

Eventually landing on a plank in the ceiling, he crouched towards the big room as his vision widened.

"Ahh!~ Aaann~ Aaaa~~~"

Davis's brows frowned as he heard the moans of ecstasy. But that wasn't what made him frown as he already came to terms with his fate but what he sensed was something else.

'There is the scent of an aphrodisiac...'

Instantly, Davis recalled the situation outside.

Those bandits, those three brothers, had come here to deliver the goods on top of receiving payment, and that final batch of goods was probably this woman who was moaning. He instantly comprehended that the poor woman was being violated by that young master, his target, Haijin Minn.

However, he couldn't help but inwardly sigh.

After all, he knew that he was far too late as he sensed the scent of dual cultivation all around the room. It was probably going on for hours that he knew that it was too late to save the woman. However, he wasn't here to save the women, so mission-wise, it didn't make him feel anything but human-wise, this situation did indeed irk him.

Moving further amidst the wooden planks connected over the upper part of the pillars supporting the master room, Davis saw the head of two figures huddled above the bed. Fortunately, their figures were covered by a bed sheet swaying on top of them, but also beside them was a silver-haired woman watching them mate.

"…"

Davis had no idea what was going on.

The one who was getting violated was the victim, right? Then who was the other woman? Just a Minn Family servant? But she looked beautiful and radiated immortal undulations from her body, appearing to be a Level Four Immortal.

"Young master, it's time. You should perform the prescribed technique."

"Haa... haaa… I will do it, Chloe." The silver-haired young man spoke in hushed tones as he grinned and enjoyed the woman below him, "Just leave for now. Can't you see that you're disturbing my cultivation?"

The silver-haired young man kept thrusting his hips towards the blue-haired woman under him, held her chin, and passionately kissed her drooling lips, seemingly throwing his entire weight on her as he made her moan into his mouth.

"Yes, master."

The woman named Chloe adhered to the silver-haired young man's command and left.

Davis saw that it was an opportune moment but didn't know if that woman called Chloe would return or if the others outside would enter. Besides, what was that prescribed technique?

A sacrificial technique of some sort?

While Davis wondered if he should take the opportunity, the bed constantly creaked as the two figures humped against each other.

Finally, the silver-haired young man seemed to be discharging his lust as his body quivered ever so lightly. However, there was a complex expression on his face as he looked at the drugged woman still licking him all over his chest in a delirious manner.

Holding her nape, the silver-haired young man kissed her forehead softly before opening his mouth beside her ear.

"Silvia, I know you wouldn't forgive my family or me, but believe me for this matter. But no matter how many times it takes, I'll keep asking your forgiveness. Even if you don't give me your forgiveness, I'll take care of you. Nothing will happen to you. I swear this upon my sinful name, Haijin Minn, so please follow my lead."

Davis was confused with this wicked kid whispering sweet nothings to the blue-haired woman and promising her a better life. Just what was this sixteen-year-old fooling that woman for? Did he need her consent to perform that so-called prescribed technique?

If so, Davis felt like he shouldn't wait, but even if he assassinated this wicked silk pants young master over here, he couldn't possibly save this woman. In fact, it was possible that he would get her killed if he made a move, and even if he killed Haijin Minn now, he would instead alert the people outside, and his other targets might escape, so he planned to wait to see where this was going.

'I'm an assassin. Wait for the opportune moment to strike and retreat without leaving a shred of evidence…' Davis said to himself.

He additionally told himself not to rely on Fallen Heaven for both his growth and unsolicited twists in fate.

As soon as the silver-haired young man's quivering stopped, the woman abruptly disappeared.

"…!"

Davis's eyes went wide.

Just what did Haijin Minn do?

'Slavery? A pact? Did he absorb that blue-haired woman into his soul sea? But that woman wasn't a magical beast or a spirit! Is it possible to absorb fellow humans?'

Davis had no idea, but he vaguely felt a sense of unease.

The thing with assassination is just because Davis accepted the mission, he wasn't of the thought he would execute the mission to its fullest. If he chanced upon a piece of certain information that would go against his ways of killing, he wasn't opposed to just dropping the mission on the spot.

Moreover, a disciple could also abandon a mission once they had taken it since many assassins at certain times do concentrate on the same mission, making it so that the mission was eventually accomplished. However, this perk was only there for outer disciples and above. Workers could only do as they were instructed, having less freedom in the hierarchy.

Their lives were basically disposable, and yet, the workers still worked hard for the sake of the sect because they would have many chances in a year to become outer disciples.

Still, there was a penalty imposed, and that was paying a share percentage of the reward, meaning that if ten assassins were on that particular mission, Davis would have to pay a ten percent rate to the Ghost Tear Hall for forsaking it.

In other words, if only he had accepted the mission, he would have to pay a hundred percent of the reward to the Ghost Tear Hall. Therefore, when accepting a mission of more severe difficulty, one has to be careful. Some assassins would try to bide their time if they were not up to par, waiting for other assassins to finish the mission so that they wouldn't have to pay the fine, but there was a certain time limit that was imposed on assassination missions.

For example, Davis would have to assassinate Haijin Minn within six months or pay up the fine.

Nonetheless, the specifics of the fine would be known at a later date, a date after the mission was completed or abandoned altogether.

Just as Davis was wondering what exactly was going on, he saw Haijin Minn look at his finger with a complex expression on his face.

'Wait… is that… a Life Ring!?'

Davis was stunned beyond compare, his eyes becoming squinted in contemplation as his gaze fell on the black ring that appeared like a spatial ring.

*Bzzz!~*

At the same time, the aura of a vile, inflaming, dark technique emerged, causing Davis's lips to twitch.
