Meng Ying"s eyes dilated into two tiny points as she saw the bullets floating in mid-air before Davis"s figure. She kept pressing the trigger yet the magazine was empty. Her heart delayed a beat from the fear she felt while her hands trembled.

The bullets had been simply stopped with his Soul Force so Davis stretched out his hand and pinched a bullet in his hand as he brought it towards his face.

It looked like a special bullet made of tungsten but filled with a special vial inside.

Davis a.s.sumed that it was either a poison or a tranquilizer capable of stunning a person"s neutral route or nervous system.

"Still, to shoot it at near point-blank range... Was she really trying to kill me or was she deeply scared?" Davis inwardly reasoned but then remembered that the bullets couldn"t even scratch the layer of his skin since he was at the Gold Stage; Fifth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation.

He even doubted if it would even be able to pierce his eyeb.a.l.l.s since organs, whether internal or external would also be strengthened through the gradual increase in Body Tempering Cultivation.

"I don"t know what this is, but it seems capable of killing a First Stage Cultivator without any problems..." Davis uttered as he let go of the bullet that he held in his fingers.

"This means that this woman had committed treason, going as far as to trying to kill a royalty!" Davis spoke in a cold tone and played the royal card as he pointed his finger at her.

The bullets changed directions as it did a 180-degree spin and pointed themselves at Meng Ying.

Meng Ying"s expression went pale as she staggered back once more and fell. Her lips were trembling from the sheer extremity of her incoming death.

However, a moment later, she closed her agape and trembling mouth and turned to look at Viktor with a smile on her face.

Nevertheless, to Viktor, the smile he saw seemed to be the most tragic he ever saw.

"Stop!!! I"ll tell you about the location!!" Viktor spat out his soul in a sense as he turned desperate. At this moment, he truly realized that he had loved this mortal woman he had met on Planet Earth.

Even he was conflicted on how he managed to fall in love with a mortal, however, the hopeless spectacle in front of him had truly shaken him up from the inside like a tide of waves.

Davis had his face calm while he dropped his pointing hand.

The six bullets fell down on the floor as they rattled but all of them in the room knew that it marked the end of the dangerous situation.

Viktor felt the pressure on his soul loosen up as it disappeared. He finally took in a deep breath as he stood up giddily, trying to gain balance.

Jonas, on the other hand, had already fainted from the soul pressure because his Soul Forging Cultivation was weaker than Viktor"s.

Davis had only fine-tuned the Soul Suppression Art to suppress Viktor, not Jonas, so the latter clearly fainted from not being able to handle the soul pressure.

"You should"ve said this in the beginning, Seventh Uncle. See, it became a waste of time and effort for me to offend you..." Davis added as he sighed.

Viktor"s face was complex to the extreme but he still couldn"t find it in his heart to hold animosity towards Davis other than a little bit of anger because, at his request, Davis did not kill Meng Ying at the final moment.

The way he saw it, no one was hurt and Davis forgave Meng Ying for trying to kill him.

One person was his wife, and the other person was his prized nephew. He didn"t want to lose both of them since the pain of losing the whole Loret Family still remained in his heart.

Forget losing his prized nephew, he doubted if he would even be able to harm if they fought in the first place.

Taking a deep breath once again, Viktor opened his mouth as he explained the way to Planet Earth.

A minute later.

"Haha, alright then~ I apologize for disturbing and being rude to your wife, Seventh Uncle." Davis shamelessly apologized with a blank face and left as if nothing had happened.

On the other side of the room, Viktor was stunned on seeing the playful expression in Davis"s eyes.

His mind suddenly sprouted a doubt, thinking that if his nephew ever even planned to harm them or his wife in the first place.

After Davis left the room, he clapped himself on his cheeks and ran towards Meng Ying.

"Ying"er! Are you fine?" Viktor spoke in Chinese.

Learning Chinese was a child"s play to him. In fact, he even took the time to learn English when he was on Planet Earth and the only reason he learned Chinese was because of Meng Ying.

"I"m fine..." Meng Ying bit her lips in frustration as tears ran down her eyes, "I have let down Earth..."

Meng Ying"s heart pounded in a frenzy. She didn"t know what changes Earth would undergo after his arrival. She couldn"t help but shudder when she thought of the worst that could happen.

According to the knowledge she possessed and after hearing Jonas"s explanation of the Crown Prince, science at this stage wouldn"t be able to harm the Crown Prince if he ever came to conquer Earth.

She even had the thought that nuclear weapons would fail to curb his might!

"I"m sorry, I was not able to keep my mouth shut..."

Meng Ying came out of her reverie as she shook her head, "Mmnmm~ It"s not your fault, you did that to protect me..."

"I"m just... afraid that..." Meng Ying bit her lips as tears threatened to slide down on her cheeks.

"It"s fine, I"ll try to tell my nephew to not harm the mortals of Earth." Viktor tried his best to console her.

Meng Ying nodded her head in desperation.

If things really took a turn for the worse and the people of Earth turned into meat paste from the destruction or slaves from world domination, then she reflected that she really would"ve become a sinner.

A few seconds pa.s.sed as they held each other in warmth. They didn"t think that they would face such a life-scaring or a life-threatening scenario in their own home, much less from one of their own family member.

Viktor"s mind was a mess. He replayed the scenario that happened a while ago many times in his head and indeed, he couldn"t see a point where his nephew really displayed hostility or killing intent.

Suddenly, Meng Ying spoke beside his ears, "Why didn"t the Crown Prince kill me?"

She inclined her toward him, "I don"t understand."

The way she saw it, shouldn"t these people be ruthless, even barbaric, however, other than threatening while having the upper hand, the Crown Prince simply left as if it was just an entertainment to him.

Although she had a science major in many subjects, she was also proficient in psychology. Other than understanding that her life was about to end a while ago, she didn"t really understand the overall situation.

Viktor simply shook his head as a thought suddenly came to his mind, "Jonas said that my nephew doesn"t really do anything other than cultivating and caring for the family. The other part of his life is half blank because it seems he went to the other side where the Guardian Alliance has been overseeing before coming home and marrying his fiancee..."

Meng Ying blinked her eyes as she heard the life story of Davis from Jonas before. In fact, they both heard it since talking was all they could do to come out of their depression.

"It didn"t seem like Crown Prince purposefully looks down on people, otherwise, he wouldn"t have married a n.o.blewoman but a princess like Princess s.h.i.+rley which he had been pledged to later..." Viktor confusedly uttered as he tried to see through his nephew, Davis.

What exactly had happened and why should his nephew try to offend them for no reason other than wanting to know the coordinates to Planet Earth?

Everything seemed so farfetched that it seemed confusing to the extreme!

"Maybe it was really his master who wants to know the coordinates and the Crown Prince was forced to do so..." Meng Ying meekly uttered.

"... It should be the case." Viktor nodded his head in agreement as if this was the only matter that it could make sense.

"Arghh~"

At this time, Jonas suddenly sprung up while clutching his head and spat out a cuss word, "f.u.c.k!"

He panned his head and posed a question, "What the h.e.l.l happened?"

Viktor and Meng Ying were in an embrace, blinking their eyes at Jonas. They instantly separated while Viktor spoke, "Our nephew left."

Jonas narrowed his eyes and a vague sense of discontentment emerged within his heart, however, his lips were opened in disbelief, "I"ve been made to faint with nothing but Soul Force?"

"Seems like it." Viktor nodded his head with a sigh.

Jonas obediently shut his mouth in speechlessness.

Hearing about his nephew"s prowess was one thing and experiencing it was another, entirely different.

In one perspective, he couldn"t help but laugh at himself for feeling proud of his Fifth Stage Essence Gathering Cultivation.

But at another perspective, he felt disgruntled.

"How can nephew treat us like this for no reason? This is unfair, immoral!" He shouted like a baby child asking for justice.

Viktor pursed his lips and then explained that their nephew was likely forced by his master to gain information out of them.

Jonas blinked. Although he was disgruntled, only a breath of discontent escaped from his mouth, "Hmph! Since his master wants the cordinates, let our nephew have it! We owe a debt of grat.i.tude towards his mysterious master."

He wasn"t in opposition to reveal the coordinates to his nephew in the first place, neither was Viktor. It was only because of Meng Ying"s pleading that they both hesitated and didn"t divulge in the end.

Viktor nodded in agreement, "Let"s not make this a big issue. Our family is no more and we should treat each other with respect and compa.s.sion."

Jonas dropped his self-important att.i.tude and sighed, "Alright..."

He could have argued his nephew was the one who picked up the fight first, however, they neither had the strength to retaliate or the mentality to kill the remaining Loret"s.

Viktor turned his head towards his wife, "I"ll talk to our nephew, so don"t worry about Earth."

Meng Ying could only helplessly nod her head. She wished that the people on Earth should be safe, no matter what plans the Crown Prince"s Master had for Earth.

======

Two days later.

After gaining information from Viktor, Davis informed his parents about the mess he created and received endless advice from them, telling him to not act as he pleased when dealing with family members.

The reason he had told them was to take care of any repercussions that might come from his two uncles.

And the reason why he didn"t kill them cold-heartedly after offending was that their cultivation only amounted to Low-Level Law Seed Stage, widely lower than two Peak-Level Law Seed Stage Cultivators who held the helm here; his parents.

Davis heard their advice with one ear and let it out with another ear, not bothering to listen to their advice or understand it as he already knew the consequences when he acted like a p.r.i.c.k.

Nevertheless, his parents had already forgiven him once for making them battle to the death, but he now created another mess.

However, their tongues were tied and they again forgave him when he said that Planet Earth was where he actually lived his previous life.

But, he knew that he wasn"t going to be forgiven for the third time, so he acted as if he was listening and nodding his head to their disciplinary speech.

Now, after he had bid farewell to everybody he was close with, he went to meet Clara as he had requested her to follow him to Planet Earth

As he soon met up with Clara, he asked, "So did you do the task I a.s.signed you with?"

Clara nodded her head, "Yes, I questioned Meng Ying but she really didn"t seem to be a spy for some organization nor did she seem to be working for someone..."

"I see... No, I"m glad that it"s the case..." Davis uttered as he shook his head.

He had a faint doubt about Meng Ying"s origins but it seemed like that his worries were unfounded.

"Let"s go!" Flying through the skies, Davis and Clara flew away to the distance, heading to the place where Viktor mentioned in his explanation.
