Divine Emperor of Death

After an hour of walking plus sightseeing and asking for directions, he arrived in front of the plaza.

Surprisingly, from observing the people walking around him, he found out that no one dared to use their Soul Sense other than keeping it a few centimeters around them, normally.

From this point, he could see that it was an unwritten rule to not openly use one's Soul Sense in public places unless there was a valid reason.

Davis was glad that he didn't use his Soul Sense in this place and for this, he had his cautiousness to thank.

He took a step forward and entered the open area plaza which was named [Roxley Plaza].

From the information, he was told that this plaza belonged to the Roxley Family and from the name, it was obvious enough.

But as for the Roxley Family? It is a Low-Level King Grade Family! Only a little short of the Royal Xuan Family in terms of powerhouses.

This power made them take control over one of the best plazas in the capital, even with the Royal Family keeping them in check from time to time.

It was just an hour after sunrise but there were already some people who opened their shops and pedestrians walking around. Though not crowded, many people were moving about to and fro, minding their own business.

The plaza was wide and huge with many shops, stalls, and buildings aligned along the way.

Not only were there buildings, but there were also decorations like statues of the Royal Xuan Family Elders and Roxley Family Elders.

In this place, where was he supposed to find an underground auction house?

'Who knows? Although unlikely, this might be one of the places that might hold an underground auction...' Davis silently thought as he passed by the shops and stalls.

Exactly three hours later, he finished roaming around the entire plaza and didn't manage to see anything suspicious.

'Suspicious... Normally at times like these shouldn't a mysterious man invite me to the underground auction in an eerie manner?' Davis looked around to see if anyone was following him. 

He was almost getting tired mentally from this meaningless search, but he couldn't back down after he spent all this time to search for one.

'Looks like I have no choice but to get into this deeper myself...' Thinking so, Davis made his way to the best auction house in this plaza.

He didn't think he wasted these three hours because he got to see a lot of merchandise as well a different variety of equipment, armaments, and miscellaneous items though none got his attention while the other items were way out of his league.

After half an hour, he made it to the Roxley Auction House.

This building was grand enough to put the auction houses in the Grand Sea Continent to shame.

Davis's eyes twitched, the front of the building were etched with the all known colorless transparent stones which sparkled by reflecting the sunlight.

Those colorless transparent stones were low-level spirit stones and there were thousands of them used to inscribe the building's name, [Roxley Auction House].

The spirit stones were sealed with some kind of special encasing which he didn't know about, so the energy in those spirit stones didn't dissipate in the slightest.

Seeing that they were grand enough to keep those low-level spirit stones as a decoration in front of their auction house, he completely understood that they were not only incredibly arrogant but also had the strength to back it up.

'Or should I say, as expected from a King Grade Power...' Davis mused as he entered the auction house.

There were two guards in front of the entrance, guarding, but when they glanced at Davis's alchemist robe, the let him pass through without bothering to stop or check him.

Though they let him pass, he was astonished to see both the guards possess cultivation equivalent to the peak of the Fourth Stage.

Then he quickly remembered that they belonged to a King Grade Power and his mind was quickly able to accept their positions as guards along with their cultivation levels.

He imagined that as long as he keeps improving, entering new environments, he would even see even more powerful guards like the stories he read but when reality starts kicking in, he found it difficult to accept such a reality.

Imagine the main character of a cultivation novel cultivating hard to the point where he totally conquers his world, only to leave for a new one and meet people with the same cultivation as him... but they were guards?

Davis didn't want to see such a reality in his life.

Although he didn't want to see such a reality, he did want to feast his eyes and admire the beauty in front of him.

"Miss receptionist, I heard that you can take things inside you and deliver it to the sheep without letting the tigers know..." Davis uttered a cringe-worthy line, capable of being handled as a family heirloom for the generations to come.

"Hmm, what an interesting thing to say..." Instead of being angry, the beautiful young lady was unfazed, instead looked at Davis intensely trying to figure out exactly what kind of face was behind the mask.

Davis's voice was hoarse so it made it difficult for her to determine his age.

Suddenly, another lady came forward and said in an angry tone, "You! I'm the receptionist! And you don't dare tal..."

"I will take over from now, stand back..." The woman uttered and gently swayed her hips while looking at Davis, "Follow me..."

"Yes..." The receptionist bowed and stood back while Davis followed the beautiful young lady into the auction house.

Of course, the receptionist was also beautiful but when compared with this woman, she lost her title of beauty by a slight margin.

On the way, many of the people present clasped their hands, even bowed when greeting her, while all she did was nod her head with a gentle smile on her face.
