Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4510: Jiayi Crystalveil’s Shady Business

Davis had to agree that Jiayi Crystalveil was putting herself on the line, trying to get his connection so that she could save her little brother, but also increase her worth at the same time.

After all, she dared to bring all these meats simultaneously, screwing herself to show sincerity.

These meats were banned.

If these clans came to know what she cooked and even served to him, they were definitely going to demand that she commit suicide or even storm the True Peak Emporium and behead her themselves and feast on her flesh.

Her status as an exceptional young merchant for the True Peak Emporium wouldn’t spare her from their wrath. After all, she offended more than ten powerful clans in one go. Offending the Azure Dragon Clan and Seven-Colored Phoenix Clan is even more ridiculous. They were the strongest beast clans in the Upper Realms, their influence and authority extending beyond their own realms.

A single True Peak Emporium wouldn’t be able to stop them all.

She was giving him this weapon to show her sincerity, to tell him that they were in the same sinking boat.

At the same time, she also prepared to trade Primarch resources with him so that she could rank up in status and gain more authority in the True Peak Emporium, which meant she would gain a bigger wallet to trade and gain more control over the power. She was truly hitting two birds with the same stone with one leg on the cliff.

Davis could see that Jiayi Crystalveil was smart.

She wasn’t stupid, recognizing this situation as life and death to her.

She feared him. Her heart was pounding faster, waiting for him to answer positively. Yet she didn’t drop the pretense of a woman who had everything in control one bit. Her eyes didn’t waver, full of courage and daringness.

Her eyes were those of a predator, but different, like she wanted to put him into a sack and turn him into profit.

Davis had never seen someone like that, so he was momentarily taken aback by the glint in her eyes.

He scoffed silently as he turned to look away, ’I’m the Divine Emperor of Death for heaven’s sake, yet you want to devour me to make... profit?’

He shook his head, finding it funny.

"You’re a special kind of woman to want to willingly trade with an Anarchic Divergent. I hope you don’t get skewered by Heaven’s Warriors."

"That’s not a problem, your eminence. The Heaven’s Warriors are not hard to deal with when it comes to resources. Using fake accounts, if we state enough that we’re only screwing you over with fake or bland resources while increasing the strength of the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy from the resources we obtain from you, they’ll be much more willing to allow us to do whatever we want."

"The only problem would be my competitors or even my half-siblings, who would want a piece of the pie I’m working hard to obtain. As long as your eminence makes our exchange exclusive, Jiayi Crystalveil promises to deliver the utmost profit and the top-tier resources we can obtain in exchange for Primarch Grade resources. All your eminence has to do is have to order, and we’ll search every nook and cranny in the Upper Realms and even a part of the Greater Realm to fulfill your needs."

Jiayi Crystalveil clearly and tirelessly explained, her voice pleasant.

"Oh, right, the True Peak Emporium even has a branch in the Greater Realm. Very good."

Davis nodded, looking satisfied with her words.

"Accurately, we have more than seven hundred branches in the Upper Realms and four hundred branches in the Greater Realm. Rest assured. We will get your eminence anything you want quickly as long as it’s publicly available. Even private transactions can be done, but that depends on whether the other customer wants to sell, so I hope you’ll understand."

"That’s not a problem. Still, I’m sure you know the Primarch Grade resources we have are all obtained by my wives."

"Yes, their renown precedes yours here, but I’m sure it will change sooner or later."

Jiayi Crystalveil’s gaze flashed. She looked as though she respected them.

Davis nodded, "Their hard work gained them all, so I will not be able to make a decision on my own, but you have my word that I will try to convince them. You can take my words as half a success for your endeavor. As for your little brother, I will release him."

"Many thanks for your consideration, Divine Emperor of Death. I will be fervently waiting for your full approval for our exchange."

"Do you have their locations to hasten our deal?"

Jiayi Crystalveil’s gaze flashed. She smiled, "It turns out that your eminence is also cunning with business transactions, but yes, I have their locations that were transmitted to me two weeks ago."

She handed over three jade slips.

Davis took the jade slips and went through them.

He was surprised since it seemed that Isabella and the others had split into three groups, each exploring a different direction. He was speechless. However, looking closely, he saw from the map that these so-called Shard Regions that Isabella and the others explored were all connected to one big Shard Continent.

His brows raised at this name, turning to look at her, "There are also Exalt Stage beings here?"

"Indeed, the Shard Continent is extremely dangerous. No one dares to enter, and the ones daring to enter are extremely silent on their tracks and confident in their concealment ability. Fortunately, it’s said there are only a few known Exalt Stage beings there, so we’re able to explore a little and gain a few Primarch Grade resources."

"However, we don’t need to go there in order to gain Primarch Grade resources because the vast energy from the Shard Continent leaks onto the surrounding Shard Regions for hundreds of millions or billions of years, allowing for a high number of Primarch Grade resources to grow that is more than enough for us. Therefore, the surrounding Shard Regions have become battlefields for all the races from eight galaxies and many celestial bodies for a year now." Jiayi Crystalveil explained.

"I see."

Davis kept nodding. It was no wonder that Isabella and the others didn’t have time to return.

They were busy collecting more Primarch Grade resources. He supposed he should go help now as soon as possible, causing him to stand up.

"Then I’ll see you later. Do you have more of these dishes packed for travel? My wives will definitely notice and complain that I didn’t share."

"Yes, of course..."

Jiayi Crystalveil was momentarily taken aback before she nodded.

She wanted to get rid of this evidence as fast as possible.

A few minutes later, the servants appeared and gave a life ring to Davis, which he accepted.

He gazed at the servants and saw that they had a tattoo on the side of their mouths similar to Vereina’s, but totally different. It was probably a restrictive seal that kept them from discussing the secrets their mistress carries. Their ears were also covered with the identical markings, probably having similar functions.

He then gazed at Jiayi Crystalveil, understanding that she was meticulous and careful. He didn’t get the impression that she would make a mistake and get caught, which made it all the more promising.

"You know that I have Heart Intent, so it was good that you didn’t lie to my face. You seem experienced in dealing with shady people and have upheld numerous business transactions, as you said. I’m sure you have faced many trials and tribulations, including opportunists and perverts, as well as life-and-death situations, but I’m different. If you’re thinking of screwing me over sometime later on in the future, feel free to, but my honest advise would be that you should never think that way, not even for a moment. After all, other than the Celestial Transcendent, I don’t think anyone can kill me. Whether that is my confidence or delusion, I’ll leave that up to your business instincts to decide."

"..."

She cupped her hands and bowed her head deeply, showing further recognition of his statement.

"Jiayi Crystalveil understands~"

Davis nodded, and he left with Tia.

Jiayi Crystalveil watched them leave with her golden eyes before she waved her hand at the servants, indicating for them to erase all evidence and traces of the happenings here. She walked up the stairs and entered her room, walking over to the mirror as she looked at herself.

Taking a deep breath, she exhaled all the breath she had before plopping over to the bed, her bosoms heaving while her breathing turned harsh, her heart palpitating with fear as her expression turned into one of fright.

"What a terrifying aura... even as the Shard World tries to suppress him... he is still powerful than any Sovereign I have ever seen..."

Her golden eyes shook, recalling the statement that he released so confidently, that he could not be killed by anyone other than the Supreme One who rules above all with a graceful and merciful hand.
