Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2553 Accused

The joyous and boisterous atmosphere of the banquet instantly died down over the sudden matter of the food of the groom and brides being poisoned.

Davis had his eyes narrowed as he heard Rai Zenflameʼs response. He thought the other party would attack directly and not try a method like this when considering the cultivation base he possessed, but no, he was naive.

He failed to consider the shamelessness of a person at an individual level, but even logically, this was the right course of action since by poisoning him and causing him to die, Rai Zenflame would not be arrested by Law Enforcement because of the lack of evidence.

Accurately, there was no factual evidence since he did have a piece of vague evidence. His only evidence was Nadiaʼs nose.

When he had sat with Sophie and Niera, Nadia had returned to him. Also, being a glutton, she wanted the delicious food made by Mingzhi. However, she quickly noticed something strange from the aroma, making her feel like it was the aroma of death. She didnʼt particularly think that it was poison, but her instincts told her that she wouldnʼt survive after eating that, so she instantly warned Davis through their link.

That was how he found out.

Even though Nadia was watching Rai Zenflame the whole time, she didnʼt see him poison anything but was suspicious about him since he wasnʼt paying attention to Davisʼs battle occasionally. Now that she had found something strange on a few dishes, she instantly connected the dots and was almost convinced that it was Rai Zenflame who had done something to the food.

However, vague evidence like a witnessʼs testimony, especially when that witness was on his side, wouldnʼt be taken seriously, so he didnʼt even bother to share it.

”Perhaps, one of your wives could no longer withstand their envy and acted on their vengeful emotions, no? In that case, that would be your problem.”

”Ahaha.”

Davis couldnʼt help but laugh at that statement from Rai Zenflame, his expression looking utterly amused.

His women? Cheating on him? That was the funniest thing he had ever heard since he factually knew how crazy they were about him to do something so stupid.

All it did was cause him to laugh but that laugh slowly turned a bit vile and murderous.

At this moment, Ruven Longstrand appeared before Davis with a few seniors behind him. They checked the food for poison, and one of them abruptly raised their brows in astonishment.

”Itʼs true. A few dishes are poisoned. If Iʼm not wrong, itʼs the Seamless Dawn Flower Blight Poison thatʼs at Immortal King Grade, and this one seems even more refined and stronger than all the Dawn Flower Blight Poison Iʼve seen in my life.”

”Not only can it burn oneʼs internal organs, leading to a bodily death with no chance of regeneration until the poisonous energy is dispersed, but it also causes the soul to enter a coma, ultimately leading to oneʼs death after the complete invasion. Itʼs a fast-acting poison with little remedies considering its prowess.”

Davisʼs face again became solemn as he heard of this information.

Mingzhiʼs expression changed as her face turned frosty while staring at Rai Zenflame, ”Then tell me how I supposedly obtained a formless and odorless poison thatʼs at the Immortal King Grade, probably at the peak of the Immortal King Grade if Iʼm not wrong.”

”How should I know? Maybe you had an affair with another man, and he gave you this to finish them off? I mean, how loyal could a sixth wife be?”

Everyoneʼs expression froze while Mingzhiʼs breasts heaved as she took a deep breath after hearing Rai Zenflameʼs despicable accusation. She was at a loss for words, brimming with incomparable anger to be accused in this manner.

Isabella, Shirley, and the others were all shocked over this matter from start to end.

Even Evelynn was shocked as she couldnʼt find anything strange in the food with her poisonous ability. The poison was extremely undetectable that it required a special type of nose in the lower levels like Nadiaʼs to sniff its presence. They were utterly grateful to her. Otherwise, they knew Davis, Sophie, and Niera wouldʼve died shortly after feasting on Mingzhiʼs food.

At that time, they couldnʼt imagine how mortified Mingzhi would feel. Now that she was even being falsely accused in many ways, they could no longer withstand it.

”Husband, kill him.”

”Kill him~”

”Yes, slice him into pieces so that even his mother wouldnʼt recognize him.”

”Ahaha!”

Except for Mingzhi, every one of Davisʼs wives instantly voiced out that he removed Rai Zenflame from existence which caused the other party to laugh as though he was entertained beyond compare.

Even Egon Zenflame and Tegon Zenflame were snickering along with Rai Zenflame, appearing to be enjoying this matter.

”Unfortunately, Iʼm not capable of killing a Late Immortal King whoʼs nearer to the Immortal Emperor Stage at the moment, but he did sign his own death contract. His life will surely be reaped sooner or later.”

Davis remained calm despite the intense urge to kill that was swelling in his heart. His killing intent was suppressed from his gaze, but his voice was seeping with murderous intent. He had to keep himself seated to restrict himself from what was obviously a bad move, which was attacking Rai Zenflame, who could one-shot him before he even did anything at this close range.

If anything, he could only get Fallen Heaven to move, but if he did that, he was sure it would lead to a collapse of some kind with how the people with grand fates have gathered here to his marriage. Even the second-ranked and seventh-ranked true disciples were here, but they remained silent from the start to now, simply watching the show.

On the other hand, Evelynn and the others didnʼt know Rai Zenflame was a Late Immortal King. They thought he was an Early Immortal King utmost as they were not aware of the earlier commotion that happened outside.

”Insolent! What kind of trouble are you making here on this wonderful occasion, senior Rai Zenflame? Did you forget that Iʼve been put in charge of their matter? Are you trying to sabotage our true goals?”

Abruptly, Zahara Zenflame stood up as she coldly gazed at the men of the Zenflame Family. Their expressions froze before Rai Zenflame wryly smiled.

”My apologies, junior sister. They accused me of poisoning them without any evidence, so I merely returned back the favor. If people want to run their mouths, no one can stop them. Youʼd either have to punch them in the face or give them their own medicine. I canʼt do the former, so I chose the latter and did such an immature thing like accusing people without evidence.”

Rai Zenflame appeared to be embarrassed as he rubbed his head. He then further turned and cupped his hands towards Davis before panning to the crowd.

”If I have offended anyone, then I apologize. It was just... I couldnʼt endure being falsely accused when I was merely feasting on this exquisite food prepared for us guests.”

”...”

The crowd was quite unresponsive, as though watching a show, but Davis and the others still maintained the same gaze as they viewed Rai Zenflame.

He was a dead fey in their eyes.
