Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 498: Tina Roxley's Whereabouts

'That was an event which shook the entire Roxley Family! How could Alchemist Scythe not know about it? Could it be that Alchemist Scythe went far away or went to another territory and only returned now?'Elder Seylas didn't ponder much on it before he opened his mouth, "Tina Roxley poisoned her father and murdered him. After that, with the help of the Grand Elder of the Thousand Pill Association and another mysterious person who at least seemed to possess an equal status to the Grand Elder, she managed to survive being executed by her own family." Davis's eyes visibly twitched behind the mask.Tina Roxley killed her father?'Crazy woman...' He inwardly commented.Amethyst eyes, a small nose, and luscious rosy lips flashed across his mind. However, no matter how he thought about her, she didn't seem like the one to be crazy from his memory.She had been more refined than Evelynn in his memories.Davis interpreted this information in two ways.'Either don't judge a book by its cover or something had really happened to her!'Afraid of his soul being subjected to immense pressure, Elder Seylas immediately started to explain the whole matter to Davis even without being subjected to any forms of torture or interrogation.The feeling of suppression, his legs buckling up to the knee level, being unable to move while feeling like he was going to be crushed.All of this emerged as a realistic impression through Elder Seylas's soul, however, if his soul is weak enough to be not able to handle the pressure, then there is a chance that he would implode, his bloodied flesh scattering in every direction.

Just the sharp eyes that were visible through the crack of the mask left him in trepidation and horror, making him not dare to retaliate.Davis lowered the pressure on his soul to let him speak fluently."The Roxley Family involves itself in many depraved acts such as holding secret slave trades, illegal auction houses, eliminating people through suspicious and underhanded means as they have the personnel to silence people who raise their voice against them."Elder Seylas gave a brief introduction, and continued to explain, "There are so many internal factions within the Roxley Family who engage in squabbles, however, there's the main faction which Tina Roxley belongs to...""Get to the point..." Davis interrupted him as he wasn't prepared to listen to the whole story.Elder Seylas nodded his head with a bit of difficulty, "As the main faction should be involved in these depraved acts I spoke of, Tina Roxley didn't want to involve herself with the businesses of her own family, but instead, she looked for light where she would be able to walk without being ashamed.""So she killed her father to see the light of the day?" "No, I don't know much about it but their quarreling after the aftermath did make the public privy to those matters.""From their dispute, it was made known that Tina Roxley's father tried to violate her numerous times, however, at the final moment, he was dealt with a lethal poison."Davis inwardly expressed disgust to her father's actions, 'No wonder she poisoned him...'Elder Seylas then explained how Tina Roxley had been protected by Grand Elder Brandis Mercer from the retaliation of her own family, especially her grandfather who was at the Peak of the Sixth Stage.However, her personal life wasn't in his interest. He wanted to know why she would want to pry on his identity. Follow current on novel-online.com

'At that time when she invited me to a walk, she acted strangely. Could it be that she was trying to ask for help? To help kill her father?' Davis imagined a reason for her to act strangely and couldn't help but connect this matter to her strange persona."So, where did she leave?""She left with the Grand Elder and that mysterious elder three years ago to the Thousand Pill Palace Territory as she severed her ties with the Roxley Family... along with her little sister."Davis became silent. Only his gaze was on Elder Seylas but he was immersed in his own thoughts, pondering deeply about this matter.After constructing many reasons why she would have to pry on him, he abandoned all of them. There weren't enough shreds of evidence to deduct her motive, so he could only leave this temporarily until he finds more clues.Elder Seylas's eyes twitched. He who looked pitiful suddenly remembered that he was tasked by Tina Roxley to give Alchemist Scythe a letter.He inwardly gulped, not being able to bring up the courage to show the letter. He didn't know what it was written in the letter but if it was something that would make things difficult for him, he felt that he should rather not hand the letter over.However, the stare which the other party maintained over him increasingly told him that he should give the letter so as to prove that he had nothing to do with this matter of prying!"This... Alchemist Scythe..." Elder Seylas hesitantly spoke, garnering Davis's sudden attention.His eyes that were glazed finally cleared, "What?"Elder Seylas extended his hand as a letter appeared, "From Tina Roxley..."At the time he said it, Elder Seylas felt his throat go dry."Elder Seylas, does silencing you will help me keep my identity safe?"

Elder Seylas's body went stiff before he jolted with sweat forming on his face, "Esteemed Alchemist Scythe, I have no intentions to reveal this secret of yours! I can even swear to the heavens! I don't want to die! I want to live! I'm going to turn 1,800 in a few years! I don't want to die!"Davis inwardly turned flabbergasted as his brows twitched.Elder Seylas miserably pleaded so much that his reputation as an elder of the Thousand Pill Association was nowhere to be seen."Esteemed Alchemist Scythe, you were able to reach this level in 20 years whereas for me it took 1,800 years. Even though my life was filled with hurdles, it is my only life! I don't want to lose it!"Moist eyes and snort covered Elder Seylas's face, making Davis want to take a step back from pity, however, he forcefully held his leg from moving, maintaining his cold gaze.The silence was unbearable, however, at this time, Elder Seylas started to cry miserably.Davis became quite confused. How was it that an elder who had managed to live for about 1,800 years quickly gave up, and was even able to beg for his life without feeling shame?Or was it precisely because he had lived for over 1,800 years that he knew how to treasure his life?This paradoxical question left him speechless.It was the same as how a newborn calf would be unafraid of a tiger, but will eventually know to treasure its life as it grew up in fear of the tigers while it watched the tigers hunt their kind.This left Davis with a single deduction in his mind.It didn't matter how many years a person lived, it only mattered if that person was able to break through the restrictions posed upon him by daily life struggles and come out every time as a person with an unbending will.If this conformed to even a little bit of the truth, then he imagined that Elder Seylas had gone through numerous struggles before his will to face people who were stronger than him had been broken completely.
