Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2369 Bandit Trio

Chapter 2369 Bandit Trio
Davis had taken three missions in his quest to obtain karmic sin. One of them was a silver poster, signifying an Early Immortal Grade Mission, and the other two were gray posters that indicated them to be Emperor Grade Missions.
His current target was from one of the two gray posters, Haijin Minn.
But while on his mission to assassinate Haijin Minn, he encountered the mission targets from the other gray poster.
They were three bandits called Gregor, Fregor, and Sregor, triplets, if one may add.
But in supposed truth, they belonged to an Early Immortal Grade Mercenary Power called the Ember Skyworld Mercenaries located in the Starsky Flame City and enjoyed the status of being the Ember Skyworld Mercenaries Leader's three sons and were collectively the next heirs of that mercenary power.
Green hair, blue eyes, and the silver mercenary uniform of the Ember Skyworld Mercenaries.
The characteristics and images of their face as bandits and mercenaries were also included, making it easy for him to deduce that these two men were two of the three brothers. They practically looked the same, fitting the description of the Ember Skyworld Mercenaries Leader's three sons.
However, for Davis to discover them here in the Minn Family, he was dumbfounded.
The Starsky Flame City was thousands of kilometers away from here to the south. He was about to go there after he assassinated Haijin Minn, and it would take him two or more days, but he didn't expect them to come here.
Davis couldn't help but smile as he watched them.
Not only had they saved him the time, but their undulations also didn't reach the Immortal Stage. Perhaps, they were strong for Ninth Stage Cultivators, but they were nothing to him.
"Second brother, The Minn Family women are wonderful... Their beauty is amazing, and they embody a virtuous aspect of what a man would require in a woman, even though they aren't like that... When I ran my fingers through their silky white hair, they scintillate underneath the moonlit night... Ah… One day, I'd like to have some true virtuous Minn women as my concubines."
"Third brother, don't worry. For us, it's only a matter of time."
"Yes… yes…"
The two brothers wobbled in the streets, appearing to be slightly drunk as they splurged praises upon praises for the women they slept with.
Davis followed them to another inn.
There was not much information he could gather from their words alone, but he did understand one thing.
He accepted to assassinate these triplets because they were involved in kidnapping people and turning them into slaves sold in underground auctions. Of course, these three did it under the persona of bandits, so they could never be punished by the laws. They maintained their act as mercenaries, and he mused for them to walk openly out here, perhaps, they were here for official reasons.
However, Davis knew that there was more to it when innocent women were being brought as a sacrifice to Minn Family's Haijin Minn.
His mind said that these two mission targets were definitely related.
However, he had yet to find the first brother, Gregor, and considering that these three brothers had some relationship with Haijin Minn, he figured that he should first kill the vulnerable one before making a move on the others.
Otherwise, some of them might escape or warn the higher-ups of the two Immortal King Powers.
At that time, this mission grade will no longer be Emperor Grade but higher.
Assassins had to wait patiently for a long time until they could strike at the opportune moment. If assassins went ahead and fought openly, waking up the whole town, then they would no longer be qualified to call themselves assassins.
Nonetheless, feeling that something was not right with the first brother Gregor missing, Davis stayed hidden near their inn, not making a move.
Ten minutes later, two figures flashed past into the dark like shadows.
Davis noticed the two figures leaving into the distance and followed them.
He would've missed them if it weren't for his constant vigilance over the inn while he was concealed. He didn't use his soul sense because there were immortals here who would be able to detect him. On the other hand, remaining concealed was fine as there were no random bursts of soul sense brushing past him like near the city gates.
Even the patrol didn't do that, maintaining peace and order as they stood like logs with spears in their hands. They only keenly watched with their eyes and responded to trouble only after it occurred like normal guards.
Nonetheless, looking at the two shadows ahead of him move quickly and skillfully, Davis wondered if the two of them had cleared the spirit alcohol in their system or acted like they had been drunk before. The former would indicate that they had a good tolerance and ability to clear their blood of spirit alcohol as not all were capable of handling the toxicity, while the latter would say that they acted this way to get elsewhere.
Soon enough, Davis learned that it was the latter as he came across an isolated hill. There was a barn with magical beast feed containing many crops in the fields but beyond them was a small mansion. Outside that mansion, there seemed to be two carriages and a few figures that had Davis stop in his tracks.
He was astonished to find the undulations of two Level Nine Immortals here, wondering what was going on.
The two shadowy figures soon made their way to that mansion. However, they didn't hide but revealed themselves.
"Second brother. Third brother. What took you so long?"
Another black-robed man who looked different from the two Davis had followed asked. However, Davis wasn't confused since all three of them had the same face now, seemingly having adopted the identity of the bandits.
"We were just sightseeing."
"Yes, first brother."
The first brother, Gregor, appeared skeptical, but he didn't say anything and turned around, looking at the other group of men. All of them possessed masks, but they didn't do anything to hide their silver hair, making it known that they were Minn Family members, or perhaps, it might as well be some disguise to fool someone into thinking that they were from the Minn Family.
Nonetheless, the first brother clasped his hands, "Fellow cultivator, this is the last day to make the payment. If you keep delaying, then I promise that it wouldn't end well for the both of us."
The other group of men had displayed some reactions that were hidden behind their masks, but the three brothers could sense discontent from them.
"I advise you all from making any moves. There's no need to make the situation worse than it already is." Another black-robed man behind the three brothers spoke up.
His eyes were closed, but now, they were open, appearing like tiny slits laced with a deadly sharpness that could cut through steel.
"…"
The silver-haired group of people had their bodies tremble, not from fear but anger.
"You-"
Just as one of them spoke up, the one in the forefront blocked him with his hand. His body also radiated Level Nine Immortal undulations, appearing to be the strongest in this place.
"We won't renege on our payment, but I want to know why… why the women you bandits of the Dark Sky Triad bring are so low in quality?"
"What?" The third brother, Sregor's voice raised a few octaves, "You all saw yourselves every time we delivered. Every slave we brought was the highest in quality for their cultivation levels. We even kidnapped a Level Two Immortal virgin woman with karmic virtue for you people's agenda, but you say even that wasn't enough!?"
"Bullshit! If that was the case, our young master wou-"
The one who was interrupted spoke up in anger but was stared down by the leader of their party, causing him to go silent and shiver.
"You don't have to hide. After delivering so many virgin women with karmic virtue in a period of four years as requested, we would be stupid not to realize that it is your family's young master dual cultivating with these resources. But that's fine. We won't say anything as everyone has their needs, but where are our needs being taken care of?"
The second brother, Fregor, calmly spoke, "If you renege on the payment, we'll make sure this matter spreads, causing both of us to suffer heavily."
"There won't be a need for it. But before we pay, let's recount what's essential and what's not..."
The masked leader of the silver-haired men spoke, continuing to make a long speech.
But at that moment, an invisible shadow rushed past them and entered the mansion, making its way through the hallway before sensing activity in the master room at the center of the mansion on the first floor.
The door to the master room was obviously closed, but he searched for a way around, noticing an entry through the bathroom window.
Making his way in without making a sound, Davis hid behind the door and slowly opened it, coating the door with dark energy that absorbed the sound it made while being closed.
Instantly, the sounds of hushed moans entered his ears, making him cringe.
'Not again…'
