Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1953: Staying Back

"…"There was a moment of silence in the Alstreim Family's seating area as they saw the names of the participants. However, the millions of people seated in the New Era Battle Arena erupted in an uproar.This was the ultimate drama they were expecting for that they couldn't help but thank the heavens!The fallen Golden Dragon Queen had expressed her love for the Emperor of Death, and he supposedly had her by her side without declaring anything, but now, they were being made to battle. Would she not participate or choose battle against him?Just that one decision that Bylai Zlatan would make made them feel excited.Hearing the countless roars, Bylai Zlatan's expression became meek as she blushed. She looked away as her lips moved."I admit defeat..."The roars of the crowd submerged her voice, so other than the people closest to her, no one could hear her.Davis stood up, separating from Natalya and leaving Evelynn's hands."Don't be like that, Bylai. This is a good chance to showcase your true strength as you don't need to hold back against me."However, Bylai shook her head, indicating that she wouldn't enter the battle stage.

Davis became speechless. There was no need for her to be this reserved, right? Where did the Golden Dragon Queen's pride go?But contrary to what Davis thought, this wasn't a matter of pride to Bylai. It was a matter of propriety.Going against him felt like blasphemy to her, especially after things had just become calm and good for her. She didn't want to jeopardize her future with him for the excitement and fun of a single battle. After all, anything could go wrong during a battle.Looking at Bylai's hesitance, Davis smiled and appeared in front of her, causing her to stand up."Come on, Bylai. It's the perfect situation to punch me as you like and pour out all your grievances. You don't even need an excuse, you know?""No… I don't have any grievances against you...""Don't make me say that you're a liar, Bylai."Davis didn't say anymore but merely shot a knowing smile before leaving to the battle stage.Bylai Zlatan appeared stiff, looking dumbfounded.Even without using Heart Intent, Davis could tell that she held a tiny bit of grievance against him. It was not about her father as she made her stance clear, and he checked with Heart Intent. It was about the slave mark.No person could stand the humiliation of being branded a slave, especially for a prideful person such as the Golden Dragon Queen. It wouldn't be a far cry to say that she could be suppressing that little bit of grievance because she prioritized her relationship with him more.That's why he wanted her to vent using this unlucky yet opportunistic chance, feeling that he shouldn't let this battle go to waste.

The only matter he couldn't tell was Evelynn's guilt that was still remaining. She hid it well. He also didn't use Heart Intent on his women unless he needed to, so he didn't notice and assumed it was resolved. But fortunately, Mo Mingzhi noticed it with a bit of probing. It could be said that she was near to comprehending Heart Intent and actively tried to make herself stand in the shoes of others.Otherwise, she wouldn't have deigned to save Schleya and wouldn't have noticed Evelynn's abnormality.Heart Intent was ephemeral. One could only understand it if they were able to sympathize. If they are able to sympathize and able to stand in the shoes of others and treat them accordingly, they would be able to comprehend it.However, that 'accordingly' part was quite mysterious and vague. It didn't say to do good, nor did it say to do wrong.For example, Ancestor Tirea Snow's Master also had supposedly comprehended Heart Intent. However, the master caused her disciple to forget about her love and focus on the future of the sect. It was good for the sect but bad for the disciple's future. Could such action be considered good or bad?It depended on perspective, and since there were many perspectives, there was no truth. But if there was only one truth, then except one perspective, all else were all false. The matters of the heart were deep and profound. Such things couldn't be easily understood, and that's why he still hadn't made progress in his Heart Intent.At the same time, Davis felt that Heart Intent was different from Primary Laws, Greater Laws, or Supreme Laws, for that matter. He could comprehend Level One when he was a little child with little to no cultivation, but to comprehend Level Two, he felt that it was like Abstruse Intents, only able to be comprehended after one rose to the Eighth Stage.Ancestor Dian Alstreim had comprehended Level Two Heart Intent, but he had already lived for centuries and examined, contemplated, and sympathized with numerous hearts, not taking part in internal battles. That's why he had been indecisive but also understanding of Davis's actions during dealing with Claire's betrayers.To reach Level Two Heart Intent, it looks like he had to work on it more. Nowadays, the people he mostly accompanied were his women, so it wasn't improving any faster. Still, he wasn't going to use it on his women as it came off as insensitive and unfair. Unless he felt that his relationship was at stake, he really looked down on using it.The other times he used Heart Intent was to know his enemy's intentions, but it clearly wasn't enough.After he reached the battle stage, he closed his eyes and waited for his opponents. Even Itaran Ike seemed to be hesitating in facing him although he was flying towards the battle stage, except slowly.People couldn't help but scoff or have mocking expressions on their faces. The Young Master of the Wind Dragon Bloodline was actually this slow? Who was he trying to trick? Follow current on storynovel.net

On the other hand, they saw that Bylai Zlatan hadn't moved to take part, which meant she was forfeiting the battle. They could only sigh and say goodbye to the drama.Indeed, Bylai Zlatan remained hesitant. That bit of grievance Davis spoke about was there, but how could she show it against the person who gave her a chance? It felt unreasonable and disgraceful. That grievance was directed towards her Zlatan Family Grand Elders, who didn't know how to mediate matters and made things worse for everyone, including her. However, they were all crippled or dead, so where could she go vent?That's why she had kept it suppressed, believing that it would fade with time, but Davis now told her to vent. She really could not understand what was going on in his mind.Suddenly, a hand pushed her back."Go~"Bylai Zlatan turned around and saw Evelynn."Go beat him to a pulp. When you come back, you will be fully one of us, having laid down any past grievances that we might have against each other."Bylai shook on hearing Evelynn's words, feeling enlightened. Was this Davis's intent for her?"Yes!~"With the words of the first wife, she was more assured. Turning back, she headed towards the battle stage and stopped mid-air, cupping her hands."Bylai Zlatan, here to beat some men.""Pfft!~"Some who were drinking spat out their drinks in shock.. They were expecting melodramatic drama but not words that were filled with battle intent against the Emperor of Death.
