Divine Emperor of Death

From this, Davis could garner that she was someone powerful or at least someone of status.
He couldn ’t size up her cultivation level because she completely hid it from plane sight.

Unless he could somehow check her cultivation using his Soul Sense which if found out by her could come across as extremely rude and possibly result in getting thrown out or even killed.

’Did I get the exact contact? ’ Davis thought while still following her, but his eyes were fixed somewhere else.
To be precise, it was fixed on that tenderly swaying butt while its curves were revealed as the woman he followed wore some tight-fitting robes.

”Aren ’t you gazing for too long? ” The beautiful young lady looked at him and had an expression on her face that could be said to be a smile, yet not one.

While her amethyst eyes looked sharp, there was a gentle light in her eyes though it was still complex.
She had a small nose and her sweet lips and cheeks were slightly crimson, granting her an alluring appearance.

Davis was startled and looked at her, ”I apologize, it has been so long since I ’ve seen those entrancing movements of a well-endowed lady. ”

The woman didn ’t say anything and turned her head to the front.

Davis smiled behind the mask and thought to himself,  ’That ’s right, now she ’ll think that I ’m nothing but a pervert and that ’s all I needed to clear her suspicions of me… ’

After all, only customers with shady backgrounds and bad reputation would enter the underground auction normally.
The reason he had uttered such an ambiguous yet cringe-worthy line at the beginning was also for this reason.

If people who were really righteous and compassionate existed, then the underground auction could erupt in chaos, and that ’s why he made sure to act like a prick who was devoid of civility.

But in reality, his eyes really were attracted to that place since the pathway was narrow but there was another reason why his gaze was attracted.

For some reason, it vaguely resembled Evelynn ’s and for that reason, he was absorbed into it as if he were in a trance.

He was then finally led into a room where there was no one present, other than a big round table and several chairs.

The woman sat on one side while Davis did the same on the other side.

She smiled gently and opened her mouth, ”I ’m the branch manager of this auction house, Tina Roxley.
What can I do for you? ”

”I ’m someone who looks forward to selling items that cannot be openly sold.
Is Miss Roxley willing to help me take care of this problem? ”

Davis cut to the point and skipped over his introduction.

”Is that so? ” Tina Roxley still had a smiling expression on her face.
She started to tap the table every second while looking at his mask without saying anything.

Davis somehow felt stifled in this tiny room.
Her stare and those tapping sounds had made him uncomfortable at some point.

”I didn ’t think Miss Roxley had such a hobby of staring at people ’s faces.
Or could it be that you actually like my mask? ” Davis questioned in a jovial tone.

”Sorry, it ’s rare to see those clear eyes from a man who ’s speaking nonsense in an ambiguous tone. ” Tina Roxley uttered and slightly giggled.

Davis was taken aback but smirked slightly,  ’Is this her way of getting back at me? ’

”Eyes don ’t lie, mister. ” Saying so, she extended her hands.

There was a letter held between her fingers.

’Invitation letter? ’ Thought Davis.

He stretched his hand out to grab it while suddenly she pulled back her fingers.

Davis froze and looked at her questioningly.

”You haven ’t told me your name yet…
at least a name I can address you with… ” Tina Roxley uttered.

Davis was startled and was confused.
Now he understood that she was asking for his fake name at the least.

Originally, he was very hesitant to tell her his name but now that she was just asking for his fake name, he could just make up something.

”You can address me as Scythe… ”

”Alright, Mister Scythe… ” With a slight pause, she handed over the invitation letter.

They then both stood up and left without saying anything to each other.

While Davis left the auction house, Tina Roxley came back to the front entrance and stood beside the receptionist.

”Manager, even though you are bored, it isn ’t appropriate to meet with any random person appearing at the auction house. ”

Tina Roxley who was thinking about something else, perfunctorily replied, ”You can snitch me to the elders, Rina.
I don ’t care. ”

Rina Roxley wryly smiled, ”You know I won ’t do that… ”

Tina Roxley pointed at herself, ”Also, how many times do I have to say it? Call me elder sister… ”

”No, during the business, I will call you manager no matter what! ”

”Silly girl, I ’ve been a receptionist here during my youth.
Don ’t waste your time admonishing every character you see, leave that to the guards outside.
All you need to do is answer to the questions of the potential customers… ”

”That guy before didn ’t seem like one… ” Rina Roxley narrowed her eyes.

”Yes, that was because he came for something else… ”

”What is that supposed to be? ”

Tina Roxley shook her head, ”I suppose that it ’s too early for you to know… ”

Rina Roxley put her hands together and asked in a pleasing tone, ”Ehh…
Come on, manager.
Please tell me what it is… ”

”No! ” Tina Roxley answered without even having to think.

Rina Roxley went teary-eyed, totally faking her expression ”Please, elder sister… ”

Tina Roxley gently sighed as the smile on her face slowly disappeared as she shook her head, ”It ’s a place that I wouldn ’t want to ever set foot on, if possible… ”

”Uh? You ’re still not willing to tell! ” Rina Roxley shouted as she realized that her sister just duped her.

”You don ’t ’ need to know for now, neither do you need to see father. ” Tina Roxley ’s expression slightly became cold.

Rina Roxley shrunk her head as she felt wrong and murmured to herself, ”Why can I not see him even though he ’s our father…? ”

Tina Roxley ’s eyes blazed, the gentle light in her eyes seemed to no longer exist, ”How dare you, Rina! Don ’t forget that you have promised me to not see him, he is dangerous! ”
