Divine Emperor of Death-Chapter 2755 Embracing Pain

"I deserve a few more slaps from you for making you go through this..."

Davis spoke with a bit of regret emerging in his voice, "I used you as the foremost bait in order to lower that bastard's guard against me. After all, if I was tough, irrational, and rude enough with almost everyone here, I guessed that he would not find me inviting Hailac to bed suspicious, but the only mistake I made was using you as the foremost bait, thinking that you would understand my intent while I was investigating and would not get hurt."

"I'm truly sorry."

Davis sincerely apologized with all his heart, hoping that Tanya would understand, but seeing her lips curve down and tremble while tears emerge from her eyes and run down her face, he was unable to take it and pulled her into an embrace, cuddling her with all his heart.

"Ahhh~"

Tanya burst out with tears as she began crying out her heart. She really couldn't tell if he was being serious or not when he made all that accusations against her, making her feel immense guilt in her heart.

"Don't… don't say that… say that to me ever again… when have I ever raised my hands against you…?"

She cried out, her voice trembling as she beat his shoulders, trying to leave his embrace, but her resistance was weaker than a mortal's, simply heaving out her grievances at him. However, no one said anything, some even turning teary-eyed as they witnessed this scene as they felt like they could relate to her.

If Davis had said those awful words to them, then they didn't know how guilty and shattered they would've felt.

"This… Tanya, this is my fault. Don't blame him..."

Shirley raised her hand as she tried to let Tanya know, but the latter was too emotional to even hear her words, causing her to tear up, but Isabella came beside her and placed her hand on her shoulder, shaking her head.

Shirley could only put her hands down, shedding a few drops of tears as she felt responsible for this mistake, while Esvele, on the other hand, was completely scared as she felt like she caused pandemonium here with her intelligence collection ability that Shirley always used back in the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

Nevertheless, the cries of distress were starting to decrease.

Tanya stuffed her face on Davis's shoulders, hiding her face from everyone as she still cried. However, she was starting to calm down, appearing to be placated as Davis kept caressing her back while whispering apologies and the kind of affection he held for her that was unnerving even if she were to really go against him one day as he said that he believed that he could not be right at all times and needed her and her sisters to get back into the right track.

Silently, Ellia sneaked her way to Myria, appearing beside her at this moment.

"Elder sister, love is like this… painful at sometimes but fulfilling beyond what you could experience alone at sometimes… Maybe-"

Myria glared at Ellia into becoming silent as the latter lowered her head, not speaking anymore.

However, Myria still turned to look at Davis, her eyes glinting over in a complicated light.

Slowly but surely, Tanya sniffled and was practically convinced by Davis's smooth and gentle words, becoming placated. However, she couldn't raise her head as she felt too embarrassed to show her face right now, causing Davis to teleport her and Natalya away to her room.

Although Tanya disappeared, Davis still looked at the empty space.

He thought again but imagined that if he were to confront Mystic Diviner Hailac anywhere else, it would not be easy to make Fraser Herrion let his guard down. Ultimately, Davis inwardly sighed, thinking that he and Myria had gone too far with this plan he concocted. He walked away before he turned around, appearing solemn.

"Even though it was a means to an end, I was still rude to everyone and was prepared to make amends if I was wrong about that bastard's presence, but still, please accept my heartfelt apologies."

"…!"

He abruptly cupped his hands and bowed deeply, even looking to bend his knees as though he was about to kneel, causing everyone to be alarmed!

However, a force suddenly acted on him, causing Davis to blink as he was unable to kneel completely.

"Don't you ever kneel as the master of this palace. In my eyes, with such a threat looming right under my watch, you not only saved my face but saved everyone here, which makes me think they should be kneeling to you instead."

"Lereza…"

Davis blinked as he looked at her appear before him, looking self-serving and haughty as she glanced at him from the corner of her alluring eyes.

He stood up, nodding at her before he panned his gaze at everyone.

"Is anyone still angered or feel unsettled by my actions?"

"No!~"

Davis received a resounding answer from his women, causing him to widen his eyes and even slightly redden a little, not expecting such a quick answer as he saw their smiling faces.

"What are you saying?" Evelynn giggled, "When you acted irrationally and rude, I know you were up to something like the time you left me in a mountain forest along with a psycho murderer for training, which had been extremely beneficial for me in using my powers as an end result even though I went through distress and this was no different."

"Uh…" Davis didn't know if that sounded cool or not, but it caused him to be embarrassed while the others also raised their brows, wondering when this kind of madness happened while a few others like Isabella and Shirley were already privy to this matter.

However, he saw his Evelynn continue.

"What you did has saved us from being broken apart from the inside. I couldn't imagine what that fool would've accomplished by remaining hidden in Mystic Diviner Hailac's soul for years to come."

"That's true." Ellia heavily nodded, "As expected of our man. He is extremely reliable and always has the best in mind for us, even though he was rude~"

"Aha~"

Ellia brought some laughter and vitality to the atmosphere, causing almost everyone to smile as though they had forgotten everything that had happened previously.

"…"

Davis was speechless but also moved as he could tell that everyone did indeed understand his actions.

"But why did you avoid me?"

Mingzhi suddenly echoed, wanting to know the answer as she placed her hands on her waist as though she was angry.

"Because I knew you would've exposed my intentions and allowed that fool to escape."

"You-"

"Ahahaha!~"

Davis shrugged while Mingzhi pointed at him, becoming speechless, but it caused the atmosphere to turn more boisterous and harmonious, making everyone feel like they had crossed a pitfall together.
