Chapter 106

As Davis spent the moment whispering to his beloved little brother, a voice sounded beside him .

"Claire Alstreim!

"

"Is that your name, mother?

" Davis turned back and asked .

"Yes!

" Claire said with a huge smile on her face .

Davis could see that she was incredibly happy now that the seal that restricted her from divulging information got removed .

"Good name!

" He had never used the Death God Eyes on his parents before, so he really didn't know his mother's real name .

Even he didn't know why he did not use the Death God Eyes on his parents . He just brushed it off as a kind of respect .

"Your master's method of removal is surprisingly bizarre . I didn't think I would get caught up in a nightmare .

"

Davis gingerly laughed as he acted spoiled,

"I was just clumsy and messed up a step . Other than that, I perfectly managed to remove the seal that had been placed on you, mom!

"

"Playing with your mother's soul!? You really have no fear! Good thing that all went well, otherwise, today would've been a tragedy . . .

" Claire shuddered as she said .

Davis shut his mouth as he blinked . He had no retort to that statement .

"That said,

" Claire bent down and kissed his cheeks,

"Thanks to you, I now feel that a burden has been taken away from me . No, literally . That seal was restricting me so much that it started to feel suffocating for me after a period of time . Do you know how hard was it for me to not even reveal my real name to you all?

" Her eyes started to get misty as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances to him .

"Now I can teach you about the continent I was born in, teach you about higher cultivation states, teach you all I know without hiding anythi . . .

"

"Shh,

" Davis closed her mouth with his hands,

"You didn't hide anything from us mom . You were always there for us, and you always taught us anything you could reveal . So there's no need to feel guilty about it as it was all that seal's fault!

"

He smirked as he took his hands back,

"Why don't mom go visit dad and pour out your feelings to him?

"

Claire nodded her head blankly as if she was lost in her own thoughts .

Davis knew that the one to be with his mother now should be his father . He felt that it should not be him nor anybody else for that matter .

He perfectly knew how much she loved him . After all, she even chose to stay behind instead of returning to her realm .

"Go on, I'll take care of Edward!

" Davis said as he smiled sweetly .

Claire looked at him proudly and dashed to the exit of the room . In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from his view .

Davis thought as he laughed wryly, 'Heh! My mom's like a maiden in love! She must've really had a lot to say to father . '

. . .

Gradually, time passed as Davis started to play with Edward, who woke up .

After three hours, Edward played until he got tired and went back to sleep again while Davis sat there like a statue, still waiting for his mom .

'Could it be that mom forgot that I was waiting here?' He couldn't help but think because it has already been more than 3 hours since she left the room, plus there was no sign of her returning back .

"Kid .

" A voice sounded out just when Davis thought whether if he should leave or not in order to search for her .

Davis frowned,

"You should know that I'm not a kid, call me Davis .

" Dissatisfied with the way it called him, he spoke outright .

It replied with a faint sneer,

"Okay, Tian Long .

"

A few moments passed in silence as Davis froze .

"Alright, you can call me whatever you want .

" He had no way to win against this existence in a verbal argument .

"Haha, kid, to me, who had lived for over trillions of years, you are still an infant . Within the endless flow of time, I am alone for all eternity . Just be glad that I'm not calling you an infant!

"

Davis was silent for a moment before he sneered,

"You sure are arrogant!

" He was not willing to take this insult without a fight .

"If I can't, then who can?

" Came an arrogant reply that resounded like thunder in his mind .

He went speechless,

"Okay~ I give up!

"

"Come on! You're mine! At least give me some respect .

" Davis asked helplessly .

As if it was mad at him, it continued,

"You should continue to please me, kid . There's no saying when my mood will turn sour . At that time, you will be cruelly faced with my wrath!

"

Davis grunted,

"Even if you say that, how can I please you?

"

"By devouring more souls!

" It replied slowly .

David lifted up his brows, he expected that this was the case and was not surprised,

"How many?

"

"The quantity doesn't matter! The quality matters!

" Thinking that the souls it devoured were not even able to erase five percent of the seal, it said hastily .

"Quality? Just when I thought that could I be free, I am now bound by your whims? This sucks!

" He complained as if he was now imprisoned by it .

"You want to be free? Do you want freedom? In this world, death might be the only freedom you could attain .

" The crisp voice creepily replied .

"Hey!? Don't jinx me!

" He cried out hastily, the last thing he needed was for someone to raise a flag for his death .

"I won't deny that we are both benefiting from it, but there's a difference . The souls I helped you devour before indirectly was of my own will, but now you're asking me to hunt them down for you . It might be the same, but I am quite unwilling to do it for someone else .

"

"You humans get attached to the weirdest concerns . . . It doesn't matter if you are going to do it for me or yourself, I just want to devour more souls . If you refuse, I'll simply separate from your soul and devour you . After all, I prefer to keep my existence as a secret!

" There was no evilness in its tone, rather, it was as if it was merely stating a fact that was normal to it .

"Oh, I forgot to mention, but if you are devoured by me, you will not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation .

"

Davis gulped and realised that he was unconsciously treating this freak existence as his possession until now .
