<h4>Chapter 1870: I Want Out</h4>


    Ancestor Krane Parazen’s expression froze as he foresaw the trouble that would ensue in his eyes with the arrival of Young Master Faus. He actually didn’t expect the other party to visit, stating a reason like treating Dal Leehan because Young Master Faus’s status was far higher than what Dal Leehan couldpare.


    Even he himself was not worthy of being spoken in the same length if one were to take status alone into the equation because Young Master Faus is currently designated to be the next Pce Master of the Glorious Pill Pce!


    Young Master Faus was walking on the path of glory where Dal Leehan should be immensely thankful that she could be married to him, but now, she was hesitant?


    What’s going on here?


    Davis also shot a nce at the so-called Young Master Faus. However, he didn’t even know about his name or status but could see that he held a high reputation by bringing two female Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses to treat Dal Leehan.


    On the other hand, Young Master Faus’s heart fell.


    He couldn’t tell what was going on here.


    He left the Glorious Pill Pce’s seating area and entered the inneryer of the battle arena when Dal Leehan left the battle stage, making his way in a roundabout manner so that he doesn’t bring much attention to himself as the deal was still supposed to be secret, so he was not aware of Davis’s appearance, much less his actions so far.


    Dal Leehan heaved a breath while her mouth was still agape from her pause.


    “… It seems like there is a first to everything.” Her lips moved again as she continued, “I want out of this marriage agreement.”


    “What!?”


    It was not Young Master Faus who shouted but Ancestor Krane Parazen. He stared at Dal Leehan and couldn’t believe the audacity of this young woman to be doing a one-eighty now when everything was already almost a done deal.


    Dal Leehan appeared shaken from receiving the heavy pressure from her ancestor. She nced at Davis’s eyes and saw that it was indifferent as though observing her. Biting her lips, she spoke again.


    “I’m not willing to live a life that I do not want. When I said that I agree, I did not want to disappoint the power that nurtured me to this level. I lied to myself that everything would be fine. But if it means that I’m going to be unhappy, making me live a miserable life, then I don’t want it!”


    “Preposterous!”


    Dal Leehan trembled ever so lightly from the loud voice.


    But this time, it wasn’t Ancestor Krane Parazen who shouted by Young Master Faus.


    “Krane Parazen! What is the meaning of this!?”


    Young Master Faus’s voice was frigidly cold. He stared at them with a sharp light gleaming in his eyes, appearing stiff with clenched fists while his angered voice instantly created a scene that attracted the crowd’s attention, and slowly, many people were turning to look at him and the ensuingmotion.


    Ancestor Krane Parazen was practically shaking in his feet. He hurriedly flew towards Young Master Faus and tried to cate him.


    “Young Master Faus. Dal is just confused. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Let me handle this while you stand back and watch.”


    “Stand back and watch? Why is he… here? Standing beside my Dal…”


    Young Master Faus’s expression twitched as he pointed at Davis but then quickly took it back.


    “Young Master Faus. This is the first time we’re meeting, but you’re already iming that I’m yours?”


    Dal Leehan angrily uttered. She didn’t seem to be scared but angered that he associated her with himself.


    “I am!” Young Master Faus waved his hand, “The moment you agreed, you became mine! I fancied you and gave you resources to grow this strong, and now you’re iming that you want to leave without paying the due tab? How pretentious and selfish can one be? I’m disappointed in you!”


    “Like I care if you’re disappointed in me.”


    Dal Leehan clenched her teeth, her eyes bing tearful as she sensed disgusted gazes from the surroundings. However, she was too scared to see the gaze of the person she cared the most about, but since things had gotten to this point, she no longer cared to hold herself back.


    “You just want your resources back, right? Give me some time. I’ll give them back to you.”


    “You foolish woman.” Young Master Faus scoffed, “That’s now how it works. We exchanged specific types of resources bound by conditions. I have no use for the wealth you would reimburse me. Besides, what’s wrong with considering you mine since we’re going to marry sooner orter? How can I let you go just like that!? Come here!”


    “You…!”


    Young Master Faus looked livid, while Dal Leehan looked enraged. However, he didn’t close the distance, his gazending on Davis asionally in nervousness, afraid to think it was what he thought it was.


    Ancestor Krane Parazen saw the situation spiraling out of control. He kept cating Young Master Faus, but it seemed that his words fell on deaf ears.


    “Person named Faus.”


    At this moment, Davis opened his mouth, and everyone couldn’t help but straighten their backs, especially the one who had his name called.


    “Did you know that Dal has fought me before in an alchemy exchange and lost?”


    Young Master Faus appeared taken aback before he scoffed.


    “So what?”


    Was that supposed to stain Dal’s name? However, Davis shook his head.


    “Not only do I her respect her alchemy skills, but she also owes me a favor because she lost to me on that day.”


    “What? I don’t believe it!”


    “You can ask the others who know, but you don’t need to.” Davis shrugged, “If I said that she owes me, then she owes me.”


    “You…!” Young Master Faus’s hand moved to point at Davis, but he froze and then waved his sleeves instead, “You can’te and talk like this to a woman who is already promised to someone else. You are ruining her reputation! And just because you have power doesn’t mean you can be unscrupulous! What happened to all those statements you made when the Dragon Families tried to take away the Earth Dragon Queen!? What makes you any different if you act like this!?”


    Davis blinked before he couldn’t help but chuckle.


    The righteous path truly had its way with words.


    “Did you not hear Dal’s wishes? She certainly doesn’t wish to marry you or anyone else from the Glorious Pill Pce, unlike Isabe and I, who were already married and mutually in love with each other.”


    He was pissed that Isabe was brought into this matter, but he could understand the other party’s outrage. No man would like their fiancee to be taken away just like that, but this man wasn’t even engaged with Dal Leehan for him to be this crazed.


    From what he heard so far, their marriage agreement was just a part of a deal and was not exclusive, and it probably wasn’t long since this happened either, considering that Dal Leehan didn’t even meet Young Master Faus yet, ording to her statement.


    And indeed, after Davis spoke, Young Master Faus looked stumped to answer his question.


    “That’s right! I attest that my friend Dal Leehan doesn’t want any part of this marriage.”


    Suddenly, a white-robed woman entered the scene, flying straight from the battle stage, and it turned out to be none other than Nora Alstreim.


    ‘What a bold woman…’ Davis couldn’t help but smile at his second mother, ‘She has the courage toe here and make a bold statement even though she was that scared to ask me. She must’ve felt she was going overboard in requesting me, huh…’


    “It’s you…!”


    Young Master Faus clenched his teeth as he finally understood why Dal Leehan would change her mind suddenly out of nowhere. He had been watching Dal Leehan’s projection, and after Nora entered Dal Leehan’s tent, thetter didn’t get out of it, making him now think that she corrupted Dal Leehan’s mind with unneeded thoughts.


    “Have we met before?” Nora narrowed her eyes before she shook her head, “Doesn’t matter. My friend said that she doesn’t want to live a life like this, and I will do everything in my power to stop this unfair deal from happening, including having my son Davis, the Emperor of Death, crush all agreements that seek to ruin my friend’s life!”


    “You…!”


    Young Master Faus looked incensed as he trembled. They were openly robbing him of his bride, and he could do nothing about it but point his hands like an idiot!


    The crowd, on the other hand, was practically dumbfounded. It wasn’t like they witnessed events like these before. Heck, they witnessed it many times yesterday night, happening to smaller powers. However, this was the Young Master of the Glorious Pill Pce that they’re talking about, and it seemed like the Emperor of Death was trying to cuckold him?
