Chapter 193
Davis was confused, "Hmm? Wouldn't people feel strange or awkward even if there's a minute age difference of 10 years?"
Haus blinked in confusion, "Wait . . . This is not a mortal's world . . . Why are you limiting your view like that?"
Davis nodded, a little bit curious, "Oh . . . Then do you care to elaborate?"
"Elaborate? You want to know what's the line in age difference you shouldn't touch?" Haus asked confusedly .
Davis nodded his head again . He wanted to know more about the ethics of this world, at least in this part of the place .
"Hmm . . . Most of us who would've seen people nearing hundred's would say that there's no difference from a 16-year-old till a 300-year-old but I would personally say as long as you aren't too young or too old in appearance, age doesn't matter . . . "
Davis responded, "I see, eh??? Why would everyone say that there's no difference between a 16-year-old and a 300-year-old?"
"Because from the perspective of a major power, everyone below 300 years old could be considered juniors . . . "
"Oh . . . I don't know about all this . . . "
"It's fine when I was your age I was duped and bullied a lot by my own friends . . . And you? You should be quite a genius who got recruited into the headquarters or must be a descendant of a Fifth Stage Expert . . . I'm honestly envious of you! Even Sasha must've thought that someone in a high position must've invited for her to accept the invitation easily . "
"It's fine, she doesn't deserve you . . . " Davis tried to comfort him since he seemed to unknowingly step on his Achilles Heel .
"Huh? What do you mean? She is a genius while I'm not! I'm completely aware that I'm the frog trying to eat a swan, but I won't give up!"
"Even though today could be considered a failure, you could have the spirit stones! Then later!" Saying so, Haus stormed off the building .
'Uh . . . What I meant was in terms of character, you are better . . . Is he still embarrassed? I was just trying to console him, haha!' Davis laughed inwardly and looked at the table behind him filled with delicacies .
He licked his lips as he sat down .
. . .
At night, in Davis's room .
"Ahh, that was a good dinner! I could feel my energy boiling . . . I could probably make some improvements to my Energy Condensation Cultivation with all this energy . "
All the delicacies he ate were Spirit Stage Beasts, and Haus paid for all of it .
'He's probably a Vice-Captain . . . " Davis thought while resting on the bed like a pig resting after a sumptuous feast .
He then sat and cultivated for a while, improving his Energy Condensation Cultivation as he circulated Extinction Lightning Judgement .
It took a while for him to refine the energy obtained . After that, he thought of using his Soul Sense but didn't after considerable thought .
First, it would be considered rude and if found out, conflict might breakout .
Second, there were already formations in some buildings that makes his Soul Sense useless as he would find it difficult to penetrate it .
Third, most importantly, there might be some people powerful enough to be capable of detecting his sense .
He didn't want it to turn into a difficult or an awkward situation, so he kept his Soul Sense shut and thought of something else .
He took out the Yin-Yang Merit Sutra and resumed researching it deeply like any other man of culture would do in the night .
. . .
The next day morning, Davis closed the book and it disappeared into thin air .
He slowly got up and looked outside the window as he glanced at the rising sun, 'I'm such a pervert . . . '
Even he didn't realise it himself although he doubted it before .
Laughing slightly, he left the empty room behind and walked to the northern gate .
After a few minutes, he gradually arrived at the northern gate . There, he was surprised to see another silhouette rather than the two he was expecting .
Su Hualing, Lucas and Lucia stood as they smiled at him .
Su Hualing wore the same clothes while Lucas and Lucia wore the mercenary uniform .
Lucas waved his hand while Lucia slightly raised her hand but hesitated and kept it behind .
Davis approached them and said, "Miss Su Hualing, did you come here to take your kids away?"
"Che! Who are you calling a kid? I'm an adult!" Lucia pouted in displeasure and turned away her head .
"There's nothing wrong with what he said, and you're not an adult . Keep that in mind, Lucia!" Su Hualing looked at her and berated .
She then smiled and turned her head, "Sorry for the trouble, Davis . "
Davis blinked in confusion .
"Are you sure that you want to bring them on a mission? Though these two could be considered geniuses, they can't be spoken in the same length as you . They'll just be dragging you down in your mission possibly even giving you trouble . "
"It is fine if you decline . . . " Su Hualing said and looked at him gently .
"Although I like travelling alone, it's fine for them to accompany me . Though I don't know if they can come with me to do these missions . . . " He took out those for scrolls and handed it to Su Hualing .
Su Hualing checked the contents of the mission and furrowed her brows, "This . . . It is quite challenging for both of them, but this is better!"
"And it seems that you're a warrior? Hahaha . . . Then that means these two who are just semi-warriors will have to listen to your words when you three are out on a mission . " She had a good laugh and glanced at the dissatisfied kids .
Lucas and Lucia both frowned . They just that they will accompany him to some low-level missions but now, it didn't seem like the case, plus, they had to listen to him? A kid younger than them?
Although, they didn't realise that they forgot one point, that he was stronger than them .
"Still going?" Su Hualing teasingly asked .
Both of them were hesitating when they heard their Mom .
"Feeling cowardly, are we?" She provoked them with a slightly smug face .
They both immediately turned embarrassed and shouted, "We'll go!"
