Chapter 182

Davis crouched on top of the ceiling, his eyes also lit up in scrutiny when he saw the guests .

He managed to easily enter inside while being in the concealed state of the Dark Concealing Shroud Art when the young man opened the doors pompously .

He picked a random space to hide in, and reap some unexpected benefits from the meeting of these so-called young masters . He thought that if he could hear some beneficial information, it would be fine before he made a move .

That said, the reason why his eyes glowed was that he found out that the servant's strength was better than the master she served . It made him wonder exactly what kind of wealthy family the new young master was from, considering the number of ornaments and extravagant articles of clothing he lavishly wore .

Silently taking out an imagery crystal, he prepared to record whatever happened here for a backup plan .

His main plan had been to beat Young Master Jackson senseless, but the man had no conflict with him which made reluctant to break his bones .

He injected very little energy into the imagery crystal that went undetected by those three people below him . With the help of his Dark Concealing Shroud Art, any energy fluctuations were concealed, making people of low soul cultivation unable to pick up the disturbance .

This action of his invoked the imagery crystal into recording whatever happened in the direction it faced .

A slight grin lit upon his face as he thought, 'Same old tricks but extremely useful . '

'What?' Suddenly, Davis narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scene before him .

The servant who stood behind her master hurriedly ran ahead and embraced Jackson .

"Imryll!

" Jackson reciprocated and embraced her as his face lit up in joy .

Davis turned confused at the same time .

"Nilus greets master!

" The young man on the other side kneeled obediently .

Jackson and Imryll looked at him,

"I'm sorry that you had to act like that to this trash .

"

"It's fine .

" Imryll shook her head as she replied . A complicated expression appeared in her eyes .

"Do you blame me, Imryll?

" Jackson asked worriedly . The previous haughty expression he displayed outside was nowhere to be seen .

"No, he deserved it . The only way to hide our relationship was to either kill or make him a soul slave . I can only thank you enough you chose the latter or else, my family would've found out .

"

"I had no choice . Your cousin was greedy enough to extort me using our relationship . It only worsened after the matter with Katrine .

"

Imryll went silent and an awkward expression appeared on Jackson's face .

Looking at his expression, Imryll helplessly laughed,

"You dare to mention her name in front of me?

"

"I . . .

" Just when he tried to explain, her hand closed his mouth .

"You said you loved me, then you plan to marry her? How sincere!

" A sarcastic expression appeared on her face .

Her expression then turned serious,

"You know my Berilan family is in conflict with the Blackwell Family for generations and yet, you plan to become in-laws with her family . You're the one who is sealing all paths of us being together!

"

"You plan to abandon me?

" Grievance filled her eyes as it got a little misty, making one feel guilty .

Jackson lifted his arms and held her wrist . He moved her hand from his mouth and placed it on his chest .

"At this point, you will instantly know if I'm lying . . .

" Jackson closed his eyes and opened .

"Do you know why the Blackwell family had agreed to the marriage? It is because I already did the deed with her . . .

"

Imryll looked at him in shock but before she could say anything, he continued,

"I was given a choice by her family to either marry her or perish . I can only choose the latter .

"

"Originally they were angry and wanted to kill me, including my family but after seeing my potential, they changed their mind .

"

"Besides, Katrine seemed to have taken a liking to me which was beyond my expectations after that matter happened between me and her .

"

Imryll looked down, her body faintly trembling . It could be seen that this news was quite hard for her to grasp .

Jackson worriedly waited for her reply, not daring to influence her decision . He wanted her to be his wife but felt scared that he would lose her .

"You scoundrel . . . Why are all men like this? Even my father has five wives other than my mother!

" Imryll looked at him and shouted in an aggrieved tone .

"Imryll! I had no choice . You could say that we had no choice! Katrine and I entered a dual cultivation chamber unknowingly in the Tomb of Variel, a Sixth Stage Expert!

"

"How did it happen?

" Imryll furrowed her brows, partly believing his words .

Jackson took a deep breath and explained,

"In the west region of the Desolate Plains, I and a vast line of experts entered that tomb to find treasures, resources, cultivation techniques and manuals .

"

"All the experts either decided to team up or explore alone . . .

"

"I was exploring the tomb solo, and after a while when I entered a room, it happened . Originally, there were no harmful traps there but after Katrine unknowingly entered the room, the gates closed and some kind of gas started to pervade the room .

"

His expression took a slight change as he continued,

"Now it's obvious that it was a potent aphrodisiac gas . . .

"

"Then . . . even though we were both reluctant, we were eventually forced to do the deed .

"

Imryll looked at his eyes and felt his heartbeat, there seemed to be no fluctuation whatsoever .

She then thought of something else,

"Then did you enjoy the so-called deed?

"

She suddenly felt his heartbeat turn chaotic .

Her expression turned cold as she said,

"You're lying . . .

"

Jackson's expression turned awkward and shifted his gaze away .

What could he tell? That he enjoyed two days and two nights copulating with her in extreme bliss?

"Beleive me Imryll, it was entirely accidental! I didn't mean to betray you!

"

Imryll bit her lips in frustration . She felt extremely aggrieved when she heard about the marriage of her lover, but after he had sent her a message that he hadn't betrayed, she was so happy that she wanted to visit him .

The purpose of her visit today was nothing more than to distinguish if he had deceived her or not . . .

But now, the answer was extremely obvious . . . He did indeed deceive her!

Admittedly, Imryll was extremely unreconciled!
