Divine Emperor of Death

On the way outside, Davis saw two black-robed silhouettes.

He gazed at them as he walked past them. The two black-robed characters minded their own business as they walked past him. However, it looked like they couldn't feel his presence as he perfectly hid without moving a muscle.

'Assassins? They look considerably strong too! What are they here for?'

Davis contemplated for a moment before deciding to check it out later. He went outside to complete the mission and come back as soon as possible before the night ended.

He quickly went outside the Red Light District and asked a random person on the street for directions. That random person was seemingly disgusted that an old man asked had asked him about the slums. Hence, he quickly yet condescendingly told the way to get rid of the old man as soon as possible.

After arriving at the slums, he tipped a random battered kid on the streetside for information. That kid who received a silver coin happily told Davis the whereabouts of Grimes.

The slums existed even in the Illustrious Royal Capital, mostly used as a base for underground operations that couldn't see the light of the day.

The buildings were run down and dilapidated like no one cared for them in years. Mostly thieves and criminals existed there.

Commoners who had lost hope also lived their lives in utter waste as they existed here.

After knowing where Grimes lived, he headed in a certain direction by jumping over the dilapidated buildings.

'Finally, I got to enjoy the thrill of running above the rooftops!' Davis was feeling satisfied.

He suddenly stopped on top of a certain building. From there, through a window, he could see a bald naked man asleep with a naked young girl lying over his shoulders.

The young girl kept sobbing and looked as if the bald man had violated her.

'Tch, guess I should've come a little sooner.' 

Davis clicked his tongue in anger and disgust, feeling pity, but he didn't know that even if he arrived sooner, it wouldn't have made a difference since this matter had taken place hours ago.

"Shut yer yapping ya bitch!" Grimes suddenly woke up and kicked her aside.

"Ahh!" The young girl was sent flying, hitting the door as she cried miserably.

"Boss? Has anything happened?" A sound came from behind the door.

"Hmm? Nothin! What the hell are ya doing here? Didn't I tell ya to scram away when I am enjoying my women!" Grimes roared angrily

"Y-Yes, Boss!"

Grimes seemed like he didn't want anyone to interfere with his hobby of violating women, so he pretty much made them stand guard at the entrance of the building.

But these underlings of him always come to peek at what he is doing, which more or less ruins his mood.

"Hehe, don't try to act innocent, bitch!"

The young girl glared at Grimes with hate as he came closer to her.

"Let's start round two, shall we?" Grimes was getting turned on by her glaring eyes.

"I hope you die a gruesome death!" The young girl spat out coldly.

"This is exactly what I want! That hate! I couldn't get enough of that...!" Grimes roared and was about to jump on her when a flash of light passed by him.

*Puchi!~*

Grimes's eyes went wide-eyed as he glared at the young girl who had her eyes widened in shock. In that hateful eyes shone a crimson reflection.

Grimes looked down only to see blood flowing down in copious amounts down his body. He touched his neck only to feel that his throat had been slit as he collapsed.

Davis held a crude dagger in his hand, which he found in this room. He undid his concealment once he killed him.

"Here, take it and survive out there," Davis said as he placed a sack containing a hundred gold coins on the floor and covered her with an ordinary black robe, taken from his spatial ring.

Seeing that the young girl didn't reply to him, he shook his head and left.

After some time, the young girl came out from her reverie and kept muttering two words while sobbing.

"Thank you!"

Davis was on his way back to the Dark Earth Organization Branch.

He felt quite disgusted by Grimes, so he even killed his underlings, who were equally degenerated as him. His crude dagger sported a hole in every one of their heads, and within a range, no one dared to see what was happening as he chased and killed them.

In truth, he just wanted that young girl to live without being chased by this gang, so he downright killed everyone in the building.

As he reached that underground cellar, he saw that black-robed man again.

"I've completed the mission..." A calm voice echoed out in the underground cellar.

*Bam!~*

The black-robed man was again spooked as he fell from his chair.

"Oh, senior! Could you please stop scaring the hell out of me?" He pleaded in a begging tone.

"I'll try..." Davis appeared silently.

The black-robed man shook his head in frustration.

"Here, senior..." He handed a triangular dark red badge that had a dagger symbol on it.

Davis took it and asked, "Aren't you going to confirm my kill?" 

He had the dagger and Grimes's blood on it, which might serve as proof.

"Oh that, I am sure that senior wouldn't cheat with this inferior mission, and besides, we have our sources and informants."

"I see."

"Welcome to our Dark Earth Organization's Branch, this way, please..." The black-robed man activated a formation, and a curtain wall of the underground cellar disappeared magically.

"An illusionary formation?" Davis commented on the wall, which disappeared as he looked at the narrow passageway.

"Yes, not only that but the passageway is filled with offensive formations as well." The black-robed man replied proudly.

"Cough, by the way, my nickname is Yellow Bird Nine. Senior can call me Yellow."

"Senior should soon decide a nickname to register as well."

Davis nodded his head while thinking about a nickname.

'How about pussydestroyersixtynine?' He thought of the names on the classic troll names on the internet as he smiled and shook his head.

As they made their way through the narrow passage, they finally arrived in front of a door that can even defend up to attacks of Third Stage Experts.

Naturally, it won't hold for a long time in front of those experts.

Yellow opened the door with a triangular key, and they then went inside.

Their vision suddenly became filled with a hall, big enough to accommodate more than a hundred people. There was a reception counter and a huge number of posters on every side of the wall.

These posters were missions ranked according to their difficulty.

All of these missions were only Earth Grade, and Mortal Grade as not a single Sky Grade mission was found.

Davis scanned around the room with his eyes and saw many people, all of them dressed in black robes, wearing different types of masks, hoods, and all kinds of equipment that concealed their identities.

He also saw those two black-robed silhouettes he met at the entrance earlier as they wore a peculiar mask, having more presence than any other people here. Their aura was quite spooky, appearing to intimidate the people around them.
