<h4>Chapter 1702 - Last Chance</h4>


    Grand Elder Hazen tan couldn''t believe the mountainous pressure cast on his soul, essentially stopping him from moving. Never in his life as a Martial Overlord did he experience soul suppression from two levels higher to suppress him onto the unpleasant chill of the surface.


    When he slightly managed to nce back, he saw that the powerhouses carrying the pnquin had already fainted while the Domitian Familypletely distanced themselves from them, looking at them with a twisted expression on their faces.


    ''How can this be…? Wasn''t he supposed to be injured from sacrificing soul essence to perform that hellish technique…?''


    Grand Elder Hazen tan knew that it was his fault for not putting up defenses in ce to at least stop the powerful soul force from quickly affecting him, but in order to silence Bi tan from bbering their hidden ns, he didn''t activate any fanciful techniques, nor did he overdraw his power but went for a quick kill with the fasted speed possible at such a close distance.


    However, the Emperor of Death was still one step faster than him, suppressing him in the end, causing him to be full of disbelief…


    ''No… He always kept an eye on me… as if he knew that I might make a move on her…''


    Grand Elder Hazen tan clenched his teeth as he strugglingly thought. This thought didn''t make sense to him unless the Emperor of Death already knew about their actions!


    However, he didn''t dare to believe this notion unless Soul Emperor Elusivemist betrayed them! After all, other than him, Soul Emperor Elusivemist and Bi tan, only his two brothers and his father knew of this matter!


    In front of him, Bi tan looked at her uncle a few feet away from his feet. His hand almost reached her foot, but it was still shuddering in trying to approach her. She took two steps back as the tears in her eyes grew more prominent before she used her sleeves to wipe them off her face.


    Right now, the charm on her face didn''t lessen but made her look more like a tragic beauty, able to garner sympathy from many men regardless of their intentions towards her.


    "I''ve been inflicted with the entrapment hex by my family. If you embrace me, it will kill you. I''m not… kidding…!"


    Bi tan emphasized her words, appearing brave as she clenched her fists and stared at Davis.


    "…!?"


    ire stood up in shock as she looked at Bi tan, her gaze turning towards the Hazen tan before rage enveloped her heart. She was about to take a step forward when a hand captured her wrist, stopping her from leaving before she turned and saw that it was Logan.


    He shook his head and gestured towards Davis and his women, where she saw that they all looked… not shocked?


    Indeed, Bi tan panicked, looking at the Emperor of Death still having an indifferent expression on his face.


    "I''m telling the truth…! If you hold me, we will both die!"


    She cried out, looking desperate for him to believe, but looking at him still gazing at her with that indifferent expression, her shoulders dropped as she lowered her head.


    "When I first heard about you, it was when I heard that I had a rival in a no man''snd. You were the Earth Dragon Queen''s subordinate, at least acting like one. Then, you went on to prove yourself, your strength, that you became the Earth Dragon Queen''s man that deeply angered my tan Family. I could still hear my father, the Patriarch, scream that it was a mistake leaving you alive by her side. However, I felt delighted. At least, my rival got to experience the freedom I couldn''t."


    Bi tan suddenly raised her head, a slight smile hanging on her teary face.


    "But, I wasn''t particrly sad or grievous. My fate was tied to my family, and to that end, I was willing to sacrifice my future for the betterment of my family, willing to step into a loveless marriage with my brother in order to preserve or perhaps even enhance the bloodline. I was willing, willing, and willing, even to be your ve as I saw that as nothing but a release from the burden ced upon me. Truth be told…"


    She closed her eyes and shook her head before reopening.


    "I was looking forward to meeting you and my rival, who unfortunately surpassed me before I even met her, but it makes sense, considering that she had the luck to chance upon an Immortal Inheritance. But then, never had I expected my tan Family to cast an entrapment hex upon me, not only willing to sacrifice me but also kill me to take you out. It made me be cursed that if any man were to take my innocence, they would be cursed and have their souls struck as the entrapment hex uses my vitality to power itself. You will not survive if you take my innocence, and neither will I, turning into a lifeless husk that you will wish that you never held me in the first ce."


    Bi tan waved her hand, looking out of breath as she poured out all her emotions without a stop. The panic and impediment she felt in her heart made her feel out of breath that her bosoms heavily shook with her movements.


    Davis raised his brows by this time.


    "So when you heard that you were going to be sacrificed to kill me, your heart couldn''t take it anymore by the tant betrayal hidden in the form of your self-sacrifice?"


    "Yes," Bi tan finally sighed as she saw his reply.


    The energy that left her body and the panic she felt considerably lessened after hearing him understand her emotions. Still, she felt like she had to make him understand more or be killed by him since she had lost her value as a ve from this moment forth.


    "Indeed, at that moment, I felt something breaking, and when I introspected, I found that it was my loyalty for the tan Family that broke. I no longer wish to die for them, and I also don''t wish to be a ve, although I know you won''t agree to it. Nevertheless, the least I can do for my stupid family is to bear its sins and repent for its wrongdoings. That''s why I asserted these two conditions. I don''t care who you killed in my family before, and the fact that you killed my father and fiance doesn''t matter anymore, not after how they bent my will and made me follow their words without hearing a single word of my opinion, which I finally understand now."


    Bi tan''s golden eyes shone in realization before she continued.


    "You gave me freedom, but you''re also going to take it away from me. As long as you uphold these two conditions, I''ll do whatever you want."


    "…"


    Amidst the unnerving silence, Davis stared at her for a while before he coldly spoke.


    "Taking your innocence isn''t the only thing I can do to you."


    "I know." Bi tan wryly smiled, "As I said, wholeheartedly means wholeheartedly. If I may be greedy and ask for a third condition, I ask that you don''t make me do anything that I dislike, but I know that won''t be granted, so I won''t bother to have that greediness as greed is the downfall of my- no, the tan Family in the first ce."


    The next second, she went down on her knees and lowered her head, her body shuddering ever so lightly.


    "Your eminence can start fulfilling the second condition by killing the person behind me. Then, I''ll ept your eminence''s ve mark into my soul and follow your words as though they are the heaven''s mandate."


    Everyone could see that she changed her tone, perceiving him as someone superior.


    "Your background is irrelevant to my quest for revenge."


    Davis''s voice echoed at this moment.


    "However, seeing that you confessed to your family''s crimes, I''ll treat you with a bit of mercy."


    While Bi tan blinked, his figure disappeared from her gaze, and before she could even realize it, she sensed him behind her and turned to witness him standing beside her uncle as he stepped on his head.


    "If you have something to say, like begging for mercy or proving her wrong, now is your chance…"


    Hazen tan could feel the pressure suddenly lower before a kicknded right on his face, sending him flying back as he crashed into the pnquin built from Emperor Grade Material.


    He was able to move if he struggled, but that''s all.


    Hazen tan''s expression twisted in dread as he knew that he couldn''t possibly change anything at this point. They had taken precautions to seal her mouth as they ced a Blood Soul Contract on her. However, they really didn''t expect Bi tan to reveal everything, making their tan Family appear dishonorable and shameless to the world to have acted like this!
