Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2356 Extracting Information

Chapter 2356 Extracting Information

As Davis completed his objective, he took many twists and turns and exited the city. He didn’t return to Klade’s estate because he didn’t know if someone was following him or not, but after reaching a particular distance away from the city, he felt that a certain someone might know.

"Nadia?"

"Master, I don’t sense any gaze on us. My doppelganger also confirmed that there isn’t anyone around us in a hundred-kilometer radius except a few native magical beasts living in the wild."

"Good."

Davis and the others had already crossed a huge distance in a flying boat. Right now, they were in a mountain cave which Davis customized to his needs at the moment, and lit a campfire.

As for the slave assassin and Katherine Hilltail, they stood before the campfire, not knowing why they weren’t ordered anything yet. The silence made them feel uncomfortable. The slave assassin was fine with it, but the Rumbling Earthtail Lion could no longer take it.

"Ma... master. What do you require of me?"

"Sit."

Davis gestured to the side. He took out a huge chunk of immortal meat that he bought and used his flames to cook it. It was not heavenly flames but normal flames. The funny thing was that using normal flames cost him more energy, but he didn’t pay attention to it as the exhaustion wasn’t high.

The Rumbling Earthtail Lion looked left and right before she sat on a boulder nearby. By the time they left the city, it was raining. It chilled the atmosphere, so to be seated in front of a source of warmth caused her heart to ease slightly.

On the other hand, the Skull Breaking Poison Assassin also approached a boulder to sit. However, a nonchalant voice interrupted him.

"You, wait."

"..." The Skull Breaking Poison Assassin narrowed his brows.

However, there wasn’t a reply, causing him to continue to stand there awkwardly even though he stood straight.

The chunk of meat Davis brought out was cooked in a few seconds. It gave off a mildly delicious aroma that caused Katherine Hilltail to gulp as she licked her lips. She was well fed in the cell. However, she gazed at the smoking hot meat, recognizing the dragon’s aura on it. Her disbelief at the meat’s source was overwhelmed by her instincts to eat it.

When Davis added some spices and further roasted it ever so lightly, her lips practically became dried that she had to lick her lips to moisturize them.

Davis unceremoniously handed over the Aqua Dragon Flood Meat to Katherine.

"Thank you, master!~"

Looking at her gulp the meat without any kind of restraint, he lightly chuckled. The Aqua Flood Dragon Meat was almost finished, but he couldn’t digest the last few pieces as he got tired of eating it, but serving it to others sure did feel good, especially to someone who had just gotten out of a slave cell.

He could sense Katherine’s naive character without even talking much to her but also knew that the world wasn’t kind to such characters.

However, he didn’t sigh but turned to look at some vile people who were still alive and unharmed after what they’d done.

"Why did you massacre the apothecary family?"

"Why should I tell you?"

The Skull Breaking Poison Assassin’s lips curved in disdain when abruptly he grabbed hold of his head.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Intense pain swelled in his soul sea, causing him to drop to his knee as he shook his head. His reaction caused Katherine to flinch as she became anxious.

Was this the price of acting obnoxious to her master?

However, she saw that the Skull Breaking Poison Assassin stopped screaming after three seconds. She couldn’t help but turn to look at Davis, wondering what kind of expression her master had.

"You look intimidating, but you’re stupider than I thought. Can’t you understand that your life is in my hands? Or, did you think that I wouldn’t kill you just because I bought you?"

Davis indifferently started to roast another chunk of meat from another magical beast. Within dozens of seconds, he stuffed the meat into his mouth, slowly enjoying it.

Only after five whole minutes did he finish the chunk of meat.

"Now, do you feel like speaking? You should know lying in front of your master is useless as I can feel your soul’s fluctuations."

"I’ll say it." This time, the Skull Breaking Poison Assassin didn’t seem to want a confrontation.

"It’s because the apothecary clan was an eyesore. They kept coming up with antidotes to the poison I worked so hard to create and assassinate, and when I threatened them all, they refused to stay clear of my work, healing my assassination targets even more aggressively, so I assassinated their higher-ups and poisoned them all."

"If I’m right, I should’ve killed about sixty million people. Those dead fools should’ve learned a lesson by now as they come to realize who killed them in the well of reincarnation."

"Even I haven’t killed so many people." Davis couldn’t help but smile.

A vengeance that was indiscriminately enacted on an entire clan for no justifiable reason whatsoever? For what? Just to make a point?

His smile was cold, but the Skull Breaking Poison Assassin perceived it to be a form of approval, causing him to look smile even more, a hint of disdain appearing within his pupils as he gazed at Davis.

The other party didn’t have much killing intent as him nor a track record of slaughter. He felt he could guide the other party as long as he treated him well, but he didn’t know what to think with a hidden intent still lingering in his heart.

"Which assassin organization did you belong to?"

"I belong to the Ghost Tear Hall."

Davis’s eyes narrowed, "That’s..."

"Indeed. It’s a grand assassin power that doesn’t own a domain nor a prefecture but has spread all over the First Haven World. It is the best assassin organization to have ever existed, besting even the likes of the Soulsteal Pearl Temple and Oracular Reaver Abode."

Davis didn’t know crap but made a solemn expression, "Tell me where the nearest branch is."

"..."

The Skull Breaking Poison Assassin’s eyes widened.

"I’m bound by a Blood Soul Contract, so I can’t betray-"

"Who said for you to betray?" Davis cast a look of disdain, "I want to join that organization, so obediently cough up their location. This can be considered recruitment."

"As I thought. You’re a wicked path cultivator like me who wants to become the strongest assassin in the world. Brother- ahhh!~ "

The Skull Breaking Poison Assassin held his head again as a piercing pain struck his soul again, causing his legs to tremble.

"It’s master for you, dimwit."

Davis reminded in a bland tone, causing the Skull Breaking Poison Assassin’s expression to become unsightly before he looked away.

"Fine... master."

Shortly after, Davis received the details of the branch in the Thirty-Second Fire Phoenix City after a thorough bout of question and answer sessions. There was none here in this city, but he also heard about other branches located within this prefecture, and that was about it.

Davis didn’t doubt Skull Breaking Poison Assassin’s words as he found no lies through the slave seal and Enigmatic Heart Intent.

The Skull Breaking Poison Assassin’s soul was not only sealed but seemed to have not increased along with his Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation, remaining at Level One Immortal Stage. His senses were also partially sealed due to the talismans stuck to his skin. Therefore, he was unable to sense Davis’s Enigmatic Heart Intent scanning him.

"Well done. You came to know how to act like a slave. Now go stand guard outside."

"Yes..."

The Skull Breaking Poison Assassin turned around and walked away, but the way he walked was recognizable to Davis. It held a ton of grudge, wishing to turn around and behead him in an instant. He could only crack a smile full of disdain before he turned to look at Katherine, who sat all this while silently.

"Say something about yourself."

Katherine seemed to be waiting for a question that she quickly opened her mouth.

"There’s nothing much to say about me other than the fact that Rumbling Earthtail Lion with low prowess. If it weren’t for my dragon blood, I wouldn’t even be able to match a human with a Cracked Immortal Vessel. However, please don’t abandon me. I’m willing to work hard for you, master."

Davis perfunctorily nodded, "What’s your age?"

"I’m fourteen years old this year."

Davis was astonished as Mira was also of a similar age. However, the concept of maturity differed for magical beasts. Although they would gradually mature in the body as time passes, if they ate more resources, they would mature faster.

It wouldn’t even take a year for a magical beast to mature if it possessed enough resources.

Nonetheless, he continued to ask questions.

"Who crushed your tailbone, costing you the loss of a significant amount of your blood essence?"
