Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 250 Offending The Roxley Family

As Davis wore the alchemist robe, they simply let him pass, not daring to block him.

But Natalya who saw the abnormality, stopped by and anxiously but calmly questioned the guards, "Why isn't the owner of the property here? And who are all you people?"

Her voice was deeper, entirely different from the adorable and helpless voice she had before.

"Miss, the owner of the property seemed to have had some problems and simply asked us to oversee the auction. Our boss has accepted it and his task is to auction it for them." The guard who was asked replied sincerely seeing that the figure with the womanly voice came along with the man who wore the alchemist robes.

"Do you know where they are?" Natalya questioned again.

The guard had a difficult expression on his face, "Miss, I don't know and he wouldn't know either… Only our boss would have a chance of knowing…"

"I see…" Natalya hung her head down and followed after Davis.

Davis saw the outer courtyard getting used as an auction ground.

At the very behind, in front of the entrance into the residence was a table and a chair. A person was sitting on it, yawning as he closed his eyes.

Kept in front of the table were several chairs where quite some people were sitting on it, their faces anxious.

"Sigh, this Roxley Family is up to no good, not even leaving this small residence for some people like us…"

"I heard they use it for various purposes, like opening a new business or something like that…"

"Business!? Look at that… I dare say that this place will be used as a cathouse in the future…"

"Shh… Someone might hear you, you might get in trouble for this… I'm outta here!"

"Hey don't leave me! I'm coming too!"

Seeing those two people quickly walk away from this place, Davis glanced at the person on the chair beside the table, 'He must be the boss guy which the guards talked about…'

He straight away walked to that person and slammed his arm on the table, causing a lot of spirit stones to appear on the table!

Waves of undulating energy emitted from the spirit stones, striking on to their faces!

Abruptly, everyone went silent! The courtyard that was full of hushed voices instantly quieted down.

Even the guy who was known as the boss looked startled. He looked at Davis with a shocked expression on his face.

"Here's 25,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones! This place is mine now!"

Silence reigned supreme in the courtyard! Everyone was slack-jawed, watching the entire spectacle with astonishment.

Suddenly, a person among the crowd stood up and coldly uttered, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Davis turned his head back but didn't give a reply. He kept glancing for a second before returning his gaze to the one in front of him, "Didn't you hear me?"

The boss immediately stood up and replied, "Ah, yes! Since you are willing to pay the full price and understand the consequences, this place naturally belongs to you!"

He instantly swept the spirit stones into his spatial ring and took out a contract.

"Now bind this contract to you by using your blood!"

Davis did as he told and glanced at the contents before he bound it to himself.

The boss announced the end of the auction and went outside as if nothing happened.

'That's it?' Even Davis was surprised.

Was that all the procedure? How convenient…

Natalya saw the boss leave but decided not to ask about the whereabouts of her parents as they cruelly betrayed her once, even so, her eyes slightly teared up as he thought about them.

"You'll regret this…" The person who indirectly told him to call off his bid said and left with a cold expression on his face. All the others left as well.

From the hushed conversations, Davis understood that this person was from the Roxley Family.

But he didn't give a damn since he had already decided to take this place for himself.

'Besides…' Davis looked at Natalya and whispered to her, "Aren't you happy that you get to live in your house again?"

Natalya shook her head and wiped off her tears by slightly lifting the mask.

Davis inwardly chuckled to himself as he shook his head.

Probably, the main reason why she told him to buy this residence was to confront her parents but it seemed like they were not here.

…

A month passed!

In this month, Davis spent a huge sum of spirit stones, buying various books related to Alchemy.

He browsed through the Thousand Pills Association Library and bought almost all the books pertaining up to High-Level Sky Grade Alchemy.

He bought it for a discount of 20% with his Peak-Level Earth Grade Alchemist plate, paying about a million spirit stones.

He had bought over approximately several thousand books that contained information on the herbs and its characteristics, the place it could be found in, how to use it to make certain pills in the form of ingredients.

The First Layer itself had 52 Territories, each of them covering a huge piece of land, comparable to gigantic continents that had billions of kilometers of land space, a few even trillions.

So, one could imagine the possibilities of different kinds of herbs that one would find out in the wild.

And Davis just acquired a way to differentiate between them, at least up to the High-Level Sky Grade Herbs.

During this whole month, he skimmed upon the basics and read the alchemy books he obtained from Jackson Lars.

To be exact, it was stolen from Jackson but he had to say, it had helped him become proficient in the methods used here to create pills.

He compared it with his previous concocting technique and realized that they were more or less on the same level.

In front of a desk, Davis sat and turned the pages of a book, reading through the pages and memorizing it with the help of his strong soul.

He was in the residence he bought, inside his own room. There were books everywhere around the room, which made the whole place look like a mess.

Natalya arrived with a plate on her hand, on top of it was a juice brewed with some spirit fruits obtained from the marketplace. She stood by the side and spoke.

"Young Master Scythe, its time to rest…"

Davis blinked his eyes once and kept the book on the table. He extended his hand and the cup filled with spirit juice that was on the plate, flew into his hands.
