You Like Her Too?

'No matter what! I would protect her at all costs!' Davis vowed to himself.

"Sorry Davis, it's just that... Mom has just lost too many things and not in one way would I want to lose you too." Claire smiled, her smile was like an autumn breeze.

Davis said softly, "It's okay, mom. I'll always be your ally."

*sigh*

"Anything related to that entrance and my home, I will not be able to say it," Claire uttered.

She felt sad for not being able to help her son. She knew that he was going to participate in the Grand Sea Continent Meet as Logan came to convince her beforehand.

"I know, dad informed..." Davis shook his head indicating that she shouldn't bother about it.

Claire nodded her head as she felt gratified once again.

"Then should mom help you get together with that woman you like... Evelynn, was it?" Claire then teased her son.

Davis was dumbfounded before yelling in embarrassment, "Mom! How did you know?"

"It was Ellia, wasn't it?" Davis said as he grit his teeth.

Seeing that his mom didn't refute it, he got even more annoyed.

He then realised that, since she was bought by his mother, then she must have been made to report about him to his mother once in a while.

'Ohh! Looks like I have to bully here even more...' Davis thought as he smiled sadistically in his mind.

"You like her too, don't you?" Claire smilingly asked.

Hearing that, Davis was startled before he remembered the scene when he got so close to Ellia's face while she was cultivating.

His face involuntarily turned slightly red.

"Looks like I was right!" Claire laughed gently as she pinched her son's cheeks.

"Mom, cut it out..." Davis said that as he was truly embarrassed.

"You didn't think I would know? You are my son, how could I not know what you are thinking! The way you treat her, it is so obvious..."

"Of course, I treat her like my friend!" Davis said with a straight face as he tried to hide his embarrassment.

Claire giggled, "Yeah, a friend..."

"That said, I want you to concentrate on your alchemy for now because it will incredibly be helpful in your future." Claire's tone changed as she spoke seriously.

"Hmm" Davis nodded as he knew that she was talking about his venture into the outside world in the near future.

"And also, don't cultivate to the third stage of Essence Gathering Cultivation, don't ask me anything, just trust your mom!"

"This... alright..." Davis said as he couldn't understand why his mom forbade him now from cultivating to the third stage, but since it was his mother who told him, he chose to trust her.

Suddenly a cute voice sounded out, "Uhg... Brother...? ... Hug...."

Davis and Claire looked towards Diana who was just sleeping before. Beside her was Edward, who was sleeping as well.

"Looks like she woke up..." Claire said as she smiled.

"Aww... come here, you sweet girl..." Davis said as he lifted and held her in his arms.

Diana was just two years old and looked chubby and cute.

Diana who just woke up went to sleep right after using her brother's shoulder as her pillow.

After that, Claire and Davis engaged in some small talk as time passed by before he left sometime later.

...

3 months passed in the blink of an eye.

Dead End disappeared from the Dark Earth Organization, everyone either thought that he was killed or escaped from the clutches of the Emperor.

Davis mostly concentrated on building his alchemy knowledge during this time. He almost finished 70% of the books he was told to learn.

He was this fast because his soul was 5 times as powerful. When Kevin Wood measured him he didn't know how powerful his soul was as he could only tell his actual cultivation.

Now, for a few days, he couldn't concentrate no matter how he tried. His mind was worried about the matter of Evelynn, so he made up his mind to visit her today.

He tried to visit her before, but she stayed in her manor for a long time, rendering him incapable of visiting her.

Now, she was currently in the Cauldon Pill Store, so he knew that this was his chance.

He knew all this because he had his sources as a prince of an empire. Many people would fall at his feet and get in his good books if it meant that they could rise in rank and position.

He arrived at the Cauldon Emporium with his entourage during the day.

He went inside the Cauldon Pill Store with Ellia and notified Evelynn about his arrival using the manager.

Manager George Cauldon accompanied Davis as he openly came to the Cauldon Emporium. He had no choice but to escort him as his status was way above him.

Evelynn entered the hall and met Davis.

She smiled as she knew that he would probably come to visit her once she returned to this place.

"Haha, I see that the Prince specifically came to visit our Young Mistress." George Cauldon laughed in an all-knowing manner.

"If you see that then why are you still here Manager George?" Davis gave a side glance as he spoke.

"Haha, then I shall not disturb the young ones. I will take my leave then." George Cauldon didn't get offended as he unquestionably knew his position and was a business-minded person.

He clearly knew how to deal with certain people.

He then left.

"Let's not talk here, follow me..." Evelynn said as she turned around and started leading him to her room.

"Okay..." Davis said as he followed her. His eyes stuck to her perky swaying butt like glue.

Evelynn walked seductively as she smiled, she could feel his gaze.

Unknowingly, she realised that she felt good teasing him.

When they arrived at her room, he and she went inside while Ellia and Maisy stood outside.

"Hmph! That swaying seductive movements of her! No matter how you see it, she is absolutely seducing him!"

Ellia's expression was one of indifference but she was boiling with anger and jealousy inside. She wished that she could save Davis from that vixen and chop her to pieces.

She thought that as she looked down at her non-existent chest.

'It will grow as big as that, won't it?' Her face changed to one of worry!
